Broadhead adapters for Ace Standard broadheads

I have six Ace Standard heads that weigh 135 grains on the way to my house.

What size and length broadhead adapter do I need to make these work ?

I shoot standard Easton aluminum arrows… camo hunters and gamegetters in 1916 and 2016.

I also would like to get as close to, or right on the money at 175 grains. Thanks.

I don't really like what's available. You can get short adaptors 32 grains, long 34 grains, the steel at 75, 100, and 125 grains. I did see once someone had 50 grains, but I don't remember where.

If you tuned at 175 grains, you should figure in the above before you buy.

I can’t wait to get them. I am going to designate one as a practice head and the rest I am going to sharpen up for hunting.

For my 44 pound Sage I am going to carry an Ace, a Zwickey Delta and a German Jager in my quiver this year and one blunt for squirrels. My plan is to rotate among all the broadheads, during the archery season.

These are 36g…prolly be close enough, and may be right on depending on how the ACE weigh… my ACE standards are 125g and I use the 75g and 125g steel adapters with good results…

ACE sells adapters as well I think…

Got my 135 grain Ace Standards in the mail today. Still waiting on my adapters fron 3 Rivers Archery.

I took them out of the package to weigh them. They all weigh between 136 and 140 grains.

They are substantially sharper out of the package than any Zwickey head I have handled in the past.

I like Zwickey heads, but the Ace heads are hands down way sharper. These should be way easier to sharpen than the Zwickey heads I still have.

Needless to say I am impressed so far. I
hope to get them glued up and shooting soon.
