Yeah, how'd they get all those hundreds of semi-different heads and lures patented anyway?

I was using 190 grizzlies, now I'm using the 200 grain left bevel Grizzlies. $60 a dozen for the old ones from KMG Razor sharp. I can afford $30 a head, I am just to cheap to buy them.

I guess I a the only guy that shoots razorback 5s. I got a bunch of em at a yardsale and havnt tried a deer but they work for squirrels and rabbits. And the occasional groundhog .

I started with Zwickey Eskimo 125s back in early early 90s....had a couple tips curl back on me pheasant hunting and then had one come unbrazed during another pheasant trip on Eastern Shore. Sent head to Zwickey and got another set for free...but decided to try something else.
Started shooting Ribtek heads...low weight heads first and then progressed to 160 heads and loved them. Never a problem with tips curling back or coming undone...primariy because they are solid piece of steel...put tanto point on them and still use the same heads today. I also have some Snuffers that are also very good.
I think the Ribteks (if you can find them), Grizzly, Snuffer, and other Magnus heads are the way to go. Dont use the needle point but change them to a Tanto style and dont worry about it.
These heads will shoot through most anything...

I shoot Grizzlys, Eclipse and Zwickey all are inexpensive and all kill without damaging the head. I cannot think of any reason to shoot $30.00 a piece heads as they are just steel as are the above named heads.Frank

I shot an Abowyer Brown Bear into one of my 3-D targets and ended up hitting the conduit in the the front leg. The broadhead went in one side and poked out the other. The edge was dull but the broad head was as good as new. I have done the same thing with Zwickys and Bear broadheads and they fold. But I also looked for the Abowyer I shot my deer with this year real hard (and found it). Don't know how hard I would have looked for a less expensive broadhead.

I can mess them all up, no matter what they cost!!! I hunt rocky creek bottoms, if you miss you usually hit rock. If you get a pass through on a deer, still hit rock! I usually use Magnus 2's that way I don't feel as bad when I bend one.

Personally I have found RazorCap 3 Blade BHs 100 Grain to be very good. They are strong, sharp, and fly with no wind planing when aligned correctly on the finished arrow. They can be resharpened and also the ferrule can be replaced as a separate cartridge. They cost $ 9 to 10 apiece so I don't see the need to spend too much more than that to get a good BH….. JMO
