Title: Grizzly Bruin broadhead
Post by: Biathlonman on January 22, 2017, 10:04:00 PM
It would appear several models of the Grizzly Bruin double bevel are available on the website.  Anyone order them yet?  I'm thinking I need to try them!

I'd like to try them too.  Brad, if you want to split a pack I'll buy 3 of whatever size you want to try.  Chad

Funny, just yesterday I altered an older El Grande Grizzly to look very much like that one ( but single beveled yet).  I reduced the length and widened the point, with very similar angles.  I like the head and wanted to use it, but dislike how long it is, both in terms of my enjoyment of my equipment as well as the fact that they stick out of all my current bow quivers.

Never noticed that design difference before.

Chad, If you want something other than a 6 pack of glue ons just give me a call. I know the guy that packages them and I'll bet I could persuade him to sell you 3.    :D  

Chuck, The 125 grain Bruin is just about 2 1/2" long. The 150,175,200 grain Bruin's are all 2 3/4". The same as the single bevel Grizzly's.

I have been getting some questions about the make up of the Bruin. Because the Grizzly is made of 2 equal halves.It is confusing some folks on how we are grinding the Bruin to a double bevel without having the braze line in the center doing the cutting. That is simple. The Bruin has 3 pieces of steel in it instead of 2. If you look closely at the picture KentuckyTJ posted you can see that the braze line is not in the center of the grind. It is the third piece of steel that is in the center.

Thanks Bill.    
Grizzlys, in all their iterations, are fine heads.

They get really sharp if you have a mind to it, they fly really well, and, well, they work !

As you can tell, I have this bad habit of tweaking many things to look or do it " my way".

Bill, I am not too tight to buy a whole pack of 6 but Brad is kind of a tight wad so I offered to help him out.   :   :biglaugh:    I'll take a pack of the 125 grain and a pack of 75 grain steel adapters when your ready to send them out.   Thanks, Chad

Bill sent me a 3-pack of 200-grain Bruins to test drive on some hogs next week...

I am hosting a PBS membership hunt in coastal Georgia and Bill himself will be there, testing the heads on those swamp rooters..

I think the hogs are in for a bad time of it, these heads look devastating.

I've been a long time Grizzly Broadheads fan and have taken game with both the single bevel and the Instinct. I can't wait to add the  Bruins to my arsenal.   I just got off the phone with Bill and have a set on the way to Georgia.

I wish they made a 2" wide head,, can you picture a grizzly tapering up to 2" wide and being single bevel,,, it would be wicked for sure!

oops sorry back on topic 8^)

I got to try out the 200 grainers with 75 grain inserts last week in Georgia.  I was very impressed - this hog made it about 50 yards...

So on the next hog, I really focused on my aim and this hog only made it one yard..

I need to have a pack to test out, too.  There is a stray cat that is trying kill my pet cottontail.   My wife looked in my box of broadheads.  We cannot say what came out of her mouth.  When she is not looking I am going to get some more.
