I just bought a few arrows without any points on them, and I have a few blunt field points. Does anyone have any tips on how to attach the field points? I have the screw-in type.
I've always used broadheads until I started shooting at targets, and I have no idea how to put field points on my arrows!:o

The nose of the arrows should already be tapped and all you do is screw in what ever option tip you desire.

You can glue them on. My ex made his own arrows. There are some tutorials out there, online. There are some web blogs out there too on archery/broadheads/field points. An example is: Broadheads and Field Points and Board Message

If you have a sporting goods store that knows what is what in archery, try there. You can go through the Google links on field points also: field points on arrows - Google Search

There are many magazines out there for the archer. Check your library or find out if your area has an archery club. The one we belonged to was quite active in education of new hunters/archers. Good luck to you.

Thanks, apparently the arrows I bought online did not have them tapped, so I will try to tie them on or glue them.
Thank you for the help! I'll be sure to buy tapped ones next time.

Thanks a lot, the sites help a lot

One thing to remember is that if you plan to hunt with the bow you are shooting, you want the practice tips and broadheads to weigh the same. Also, the broadheads will fly a little different, but you can still get to where you shoot a tight group with the practice tips, then swap to broadheads, and hit the "kill zone".
