Black Threaded 3D Metal Point for Wooden Arrows

A correctly matched point is an important part of any wooden archery arrow. It affects total arrow mass, balance and dynamic shaft behaviour.

This black threaded 3D metal point is available for 8.0 and 8.7 mm wooden shafts and in 75, 100 and 115 grain weights.

Threaded point for wooden shafts

The point uses a mechanical threaded connection.

The end of the wooden shaft must be correctly prepared so the point remains straight, secure and aligned with the shaft axis.

8.0 mm shafts

The 8.0 mm option is approximately equivalent to a 5/16″ wooden shaft.

Actual shaft diameter should always be checked before installation.

8.7 mm shafts

The larger version is intended for approximately 8.7 mm / 11/32″ wooden shafts.

75, 100 and 115 grain

Three current point weights are available:

• 75 grain,
• 100 grain,
• 115 grain.

Point weight affects arrow balance, total mass and dynamic spine.

Choosing point weight

A heavier point can generally make an otherwise identical shaft behave dynamically softer, while a lighter point may have the opposite effect.

The correct choice therefore depends on the entire arrow setup.

Preparing the shaft

The front of the wooden shaft should be prepared using the appropriate tool for the point system.

The wood should remain straight, sound and free from cracks or damaged fibres.

Thread and epoxy mounting

Current product information allows the threaded connection to be combined with epoxy.

This can create a very strong joint.

However, a point permanently bonded with epoxy should not automatically be considered easily replaceable.

Replacing a damaged point

The threaded construction may support servicing or replacement depending on the installation method.

After a hard impact, always inspect the wooden shaft as well as the point.

A cracked shaft must not be reused simply because a new point can be installed.

3D archery

The product is specified as a 3D point.

Always check the rules of the specific course or competition before use.

Traditional and instinctive archery

The point can be used when building correctly matched wooden arrows for longbows, traditional bows and instinctive archery.

Horsebows

It may also be used in wooden-arrow setups for selected horsebows and Asiatic bows.

Correct shaft diameter alone does not determine compatibility; spine, length, mass and bow setup must also be considered.

Erenhill Archery School

Erenhill Archery School can help choose between 75, 100 and 115 grain according to your shaft, spine and bow.
