It doesn't stiffen the spine in the same amount as cutting 3" off your arrow. I measured static spine on some shafts with and without 2.5 inches of HIT installed and they measure the same. This is because the amount of deflection is dominated by the length of the beam, which doesn't change...
We have two collar sizes. Our 25 grain hardened steel collar is 1.00 inch long and our 10 grain titanium is 0.70 inches long, so neither one overlaps the HIT insert with this system. I've found with the HIT this far back and connected to the long broadhead shank, it acts like one solid long...
This system is for 4mm, .165/.166 ID arrows. These are generally called micros, but I agree, some companies use the terms small and micro to describe either .204 or .166. I call .204 small and .166 micro.
I co-developed this system with Aron Snyder. We both felt strongly that there was a need for an improved system for micro diameter arrows. Here are some more details:
Iron Will’s new Snyder Core System utilizes a long hardened metal core, carbon fiber (arrow), and a hardened metal Impact...
Nice work Apohlo. This is a much cheaper way to make a footer since you are cutting a tube of material. Our Impact Collars have a flange that goes over the end of the arrow which requires us to bore out the inside diameter. We do this in the hardened condition to a tight tolerance, so it take...
We have opened up the hole on the front of our D Impact Collars so they can now be used on .204 ID arrows with standard heads. We are also adding two more collar sizes to fit more arrows. They are on our compatibility chart now and shipping soon.
When using our Impact Collars and high Strength HIT inserts, I haven't seen any problems with the Deep Six system. High Strength Ferrules, HITs, and Collars make this system pretty robust. Without the collar reinforcing the end of the arrow, Deep Six threads can be bent on a really hard side...
Fullfan, the main blade is designed to have a small amount of side to side play so that it can be aligned to the ferrule. The video below explains this. On the solid blade it is harder to do by eye, but you can tighten the screw part way, spin it on an arrow with an arrow spinner, and move the...
125 will be the lightest for this year at least. The blade length as well as the bevel angle determine how much rotation you get and all of my work the past year or so has been on the s125 size blade. We use that same blade in the 125 to 250 grain models.
Tough question. I love our standard heads for outwest big game. I shot my two biggest bulls last year with the s125 at 64 and 82 yards, hitting right where I was aiming and found the arrows 20 yards past them. I think our new single bevel with bleeders would have done the job just as well...
Sorry, there are no plans at least for this year to make a left bevel. You will definitely want to have a right fletch to use right single bevels so that the arrow rotation is maintained in the same direction through the animal.
We have a few options in 125 grain heads. Our heads are more expensive than most but you will get excellent sharpness, edge retention and durability right out of the package. We just added a wide solid blade to our wide150 to wide250 grain heads. This was requested primarily by traditional...
