Well guys, I'm thinking about changing out from the AMS safety slides as their getting too expensive to replace.

It never fails, no matter what, every night, the dang shock pad breaks/falls off/exposes screw/ and the safety slide then breaks on impact with the screw and I nearly lose an arrow.


Anyways, I'm looking at the AMS steel ring sets. Wondering how they hold up and if they're a viable alternative. I like the fact that it's just the ring and a screw. No more small pieces in my headlamp reassembling an arrow.

Please let me know how the rings work for ya.

I use the rings for big fish. Love em! Have yet to break one, and I've pulled many a sixty pound plus fish in with them.

Where could i get the ring sets at?

 

[gvdocholiday]

THat's what I wanted to hear. What happens with me is, on bigger fish, the shock cushions for the safety slides just couldn't hold up. Same on misses in muddy/clay lined bottoms. I'd bury my arrow half way and with all the much and debris, pulling an arrow out of that just destroys the cushion and then the slide on the next couple of shots.

You can get em from backwater or bowfishingextreme online. I been using them for two years, still using the original set. You'll wear out the arrow before you wear out a ring.

I've shot logs stumps mud roots you name it and prolly one if that a year of my safety slide cushions ever break must b some other problem with them try turning it around the other way and see if that helps u out any

ive never shot the rings always cushion stops never broke one or nothing no problems but i dont shoot a hi poundage bow either

All I shoot is rings, slides suck!. Occasionally the weld will break an loose an arrow but not very often!!! I love em. Oh yeah just re tie every now an then bc they r hard on the line wer it's tied bc the ring is so small

shoot a spinner an tie to da back

I shoot a spinner but I also shoot quik draw and tying to the back is a hassle when using a quik draw.. Just my opinion

The only thing I got against them is when you shoot through a fish. The line cinches down on the ring and is a pain to get off. Which is why I dont use em on numbers.

I like my rings! They will dig a groove in an arrow if you keep the same one on for a loooong time...

 

[boonehunter]

never had a ams safty slide stop or screw break in 3 years of shooting fish. have had a screw come loose but that dont happen very often. im going to stick with what works for me

 

[aquatic-archer]

I have some if someone is interested. Don't use them any more tie to the back or use slides.

only problem with rings is, if you dont retie often the line will ware and break.
