can't wait to see that video. Too bad it ain't available in a glue on!!
-
Why does it have the three holes? Are they there to reduce weight?
-
Whoa Nellie, now THAT is impressive!
Nice to see what a thick blade can withstand.
BTW, the 3 holes may be used in the production process to keep registration, alignment...?
-
I don' know Joey...it scratched it up pretty bad....
-
What kind of spices do you use and how long do you have to cook cinder before it's tender?
-
That head has been shot into 3 WW, 2-1x6" treated lumber and 5 Times into a cinderblock..the ole girl has had it rough
-
WOW!
-
Dang, Joey you've been busy! Pretty impressive!!
-
Joey, Can you hit that cinder block on a 45 degree so we can see what happens, I'm just curious, if I had a one I would try it..
-
What a crock! There's no S-shaped wound channel or anything! :D
It takes a tough head to do that multiple times!!
-
I think we need more evidence of how strong that Ashby is.
Can you say crossbow?
Can you say tractor weights?
-
Yep impressive, but in the same breath I have a Snuffer and a Woodsman stuck in the bricks of my old house up to the back of the blades and couldn't get them out. I left them as a keep sake for the next home owner.
There is no doubt they are quality heads, I'll buy 3 for those very very special hunts or for when I know there is no way I'm going to miss and loose my arrow.
-
its not missing and losing my arrow i am worried about it is hitting it and having it run off to never be found. i can dig the area up to find that arrow or if you hunt from a tree it should be sticking in the dirt.
however if the animal runs off with it that may be a different story.
-
I shot a hog with a $30 Silverflame a few months ago. Devastating wound. She only went 35 yards. The arrow hit the ground on the opposite side and she drug it with her thru the palmettoes. Marty's eyeglasses fell out of his pocket while we were examining the profuse bloodtrail. After we loaded the hog we went back to look for his glasses and the broadhead which had broken off the shaft. After a few minutes, he said heck with it, I have another pair of glasses in the truck. I said that's fine, but we're not leaving without the broadhead .....
-
For less than the cost of three broadheads you too can own the VM13 Broadhead Recovery System! Don't hit the woods without!

:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
I'd be looking real hard too Biggie.
-
Marty asked me while sitting in the turkey blind last spring.."Hey , does that Stringtracker help recover your turkey?" i said "Sometimes but I find my $40 Silverflame everytime!" Biggie bought the cheap ones!!!!
-
Vermonster, you and I think alike! I was already going to post the metal detector angle! CKruse :bigsmyl:
-
I'm so sorry for you Cameron. I wouldn't wish a thought process like mine on anyone. lol
-
I carry magnus2's AND my own homemade heads which only get shot from the air so I know where to look.I fully understand the fear of loosing an expensive BH and ya don't wanna know how much the shop would hafta get for the heads I made :biglaugh:
Shot from 45 deg's I suspect somethings gonna break BH shaft or both....excellent head for sure a bit outta my range but still
-
Bob, you should always wait for a good broadside shot on a cinder block.
-
I'm sure they're great, Joey...but I think I'll keep shooting my $4.00 Grizzly 190's
-
Them ribteks look pretty strong as well for $3.00.

Thanks Ray I know exactly what you mean....my $30 RMEF member knife is all the knife I need to skin my upcoming elk. :D
-
good for you. How about the knife you make yourself, it will probably cost you less than that?
Fortunately, you won't be THROWING that RMEF knife across a bunch of blowdowns at that elk you are hunting, or you might think twice about it, like you might with a 40 dollar broadhead.
-
Good point!! I just hope i see one half as large as yours. Did you kill that with USO Outfitters?..awesome trophy
-
yep. That was my first elk trip, Joey..I was a greenhorn. Put in for a public land tag, got drawn, and went to their camp in the Gila.
We hunted the 16's if you know where that is, out of Apache Creek, NM.
That area still has some great bulls, but they increased the tags and give landowners in the area lots of depredation permits to shoot elk in their alfalfa -they leave them lay!!!
I would use someone else if I was going today given the recent issues with USO. However, I think those were more related to their private land operations in other areas...rather than public land hunting situations.
The folks I was with were all very fair chase and doin' it the hard way oriented. They actually were contracted guys..free lancers...and not USO employees.. they seemed to look down their nose at the USO staff working on private land.
I have no personal knowledge about that as I only hunted public ground.
-
Thanks Ray for the PM...and i would like to speak on the behalf of the rest of Tradgangers....you have GOT to get a bigger Avatar to fit that toad of a Elk on it.
