LRP Installation Instructions

• The arrows will need to be cut and ideally squared (for best results) before you’re ready to install components.  We recommend you have the arrows fletched before installing these components.  Our LRP arrows are fletched with the top of the arrow (as it would be nocked on the string) will always be the high-spine.
• The Terminal Collars get installed first.  Apply a bead of glue the whole way around the end of the arrow shaft and install the collar by rotating it as you push it on.  Make sure you press firmly on the very end, to get it seated flush against the squared end of the shaft.  Do your best not to allow ANY glue to get inside the arrow while you do this, or it will make it very hard to install the rest of the system later.
• Marking Terminal Collars for alignment - Once you have the collars installed on each arrow shaft and the glue is fully cured, this is where you’ll be able to get your preferred alignment of the broadhead blades.  On the shoulder of our Threaded Post, there is a small notch that will always line up with the blade slot on our broadhead ferrule, when they’re tightened up.  Once you install the Threaded Post a certain way, any LRP broadhead you purchase in the future will automatically line up with that notch the same way.
  • Lay all the fletched arrows on a flat surface with the high-spine, or cock-vane up.  If you want your blades to be horizontal (3 & 9 o’clock) you just need to mark the edge of the Terminal Collar on each arrow with a sharpie, so you will be able to align the notch with your mark.
  • If you want the blades to be vertical (6 & 12 o’clock), you just mark the very top of the Terminal Collar.
  • Mark each arrow where you want the blades to line up with and then you’ll be ready to install the Threaded Posts.
• To install the Threaded Posts, the best thing we’ve found is to use one of the practice heads to attach before you apply any glue.  Similar to getting glue on the ID of the shaft, you also need to make sure the male portion of the Threaded Post does not get any glue on it, or the broadhead/practice head will not go on.  It’s a perfect fit, which is how we get such good centricity and alignment.  The practice head will make sure that doesn’t happen and you can easily wipe the excess glue off before it’s hardened and the point will unscrew when the glue is cured.
  • Screw the practice head onto the Threaded Post and do a dry-run (without glue) the whole way into the arrow, to be sure it’s not too snug.  Unfortunately, the tolerances on many arrows is not nearly as good as the tolerances on our parts, so it’s good to make sure you won’t be stuck with a component sticking half-way in.
  • Install the first 1/8” of the Threaded Post through the Terminal Collar and into the arrow.
  • Apply plenty of glue to the shank of the Threaded Post and push it into the arrow, while making sure you align the notch up with the sharpie mark you made on the collars before the glue cures.
  • If you wait for the glue to cure, you should be able to unscrew the practice head and the Threaded Post should stay oriented with the sharpie mark.  If it moves because the glue is not cured yet, just spin it back to the mark and you can often hold the Threaded Post by the notch to allow you to unscrew the practice head.
