Will eye screws hold the rings?

I use two quarter inch eye bolts to hold my rings. They are bolted into a 2x4 that is screwed into support beams.
I weight nearly 170 at the moment...
Going into the side of the beam with a bolt (after drilling) is safer and stronger than the bottom ( and using eyescrews ).
the load strength should be listed at the hardware store...
it depends on the screws, of course... if you use teeny weeny ones, there is a chance of you bending them open - but you know that.
i use two really solid eye screws (material is ~half of an inch diameter) screwed into the bottom of a solid wooden beam at my place. just one of the eye screws holds much in excess of my bodyweight (im about 150). just go for a bit of overkill, material wise ![]()
