Field points won't screw into the arrows
Bought a package of 12, 125 grain 11/32 Excalibur field points. Only 3 would screw into my arrows. I miked the thread and they are .002 large. They will not screw into a #8-32 die either. I have a #8-32 screw and it will screw into all the arrows. I am sure it is the points....anybody else have this problem??
Re: Field points won't screw into the arrows
I've had to run a drill and a tap through the front insert to get rid of the excess glue.

I've had it happen where a brass insert was not threaded at all, so if it's not glue, it could be that.

I think I remember someone else having the same issue and it was a bad batch of field points. This could be your issue.

Put a point in the vise and run the 8-32 die on as far as you can and see if then you can get the point in the insert far enough. You may have to counter sink the insert just a bit. Use some cutting fluid or oil when tapping.

Re: Field points won't screw into the arrows
I am sure it is the points, I just wondered if was a usual occurrence. Tried to run the die over the point thread, could not get it to start straight, re- cut the thread crooked so it still wouldn't work. Excess glue is what I suspected...not the case, the #8-32 screw ran into the arrow thread with no problem.
