Title: Get ready, their almost hear!
Post by: Boomerang on November 26, 2008, 12:00:00 PM: I shipped the new small game head I designed and am producing to 3Rivers and they are about ready to release them! The first ones are going to be 125gr. and 145gr. weights and then we will possibly go with 175 and 200gr. They should have pictures of them on their web soon. Let me know how you like them. :)

Thanks,
Boomer

Post by: Boomerang on November 26, 2008, 12:22:00 PM: I think they are going to be called 3Rivers small game head, but I will let them choose the name and release the photographs.

Nope this is something brand new.

Post by: Boomerang on December 01, 2008, 06:54:00 AM: Sorry I guess they did end up calling it the "Hammer".

It is on their web now under small game heads.

Post by: Gaff on December 01, 2008, 07:24:00 AM: they look great! but the price ($5.99) i think is a little excesive. i dont mean to sound harsh, but that part can be mass produced by a screw machine for pennies.
i would love to buy some, but it would cost me a small fortune to fill my quiver....

b.glass- look under "new items"
These do look like they would work well.

Post by: Tim Fishell on December 01, 2008, 07:40:00 AM: They look great I may have to pick some up and try them. They are $5.99 for a 3 pack which is $2 a pc. The Ace Hex Blunts are $8.99 for 6 which is $1.50 a pc. So in reality there is not much difference and if they are a better head then it would be worth it. My question is when I shoot Hex Blunts they still tend to still slide under leaves and junk while stump shooting which is why I still use Judos. Do these stay on top of the leaves are grass better than the Hex Blunts??

Post by: Boomerang on December 01, 2008, 07:40:00 AM: Jamie,
If it were just a screw machine job they would be cheaper, but they require mill work also and they are heat treated.

Post by: Lefty on December 01, 2008, 07:55:00 AM: I would also like to know if they slide under leaves and grass. I have had the same experience at Tim, with the hex head. Are you going to come out with heavier ones? I think there are alot of carbon arrow shooters shooting heads 175 grains and up, myself included. Would love to see some 175, 200, 250, and 300 grain heads.

Post by: Boomerang on December 01, 2008, 08:03:00 AM: No problem Jamie, I hope you like them.
Tim, they are 1/2 inch in diameter so they do grab better than the hex blunts which helps them from getting burried under leaves and grass as much.

Post by: JC on December 01, 2008, 08:12:00 AM: I'd love to see some 300 grainers.
Title: Re: Get ready, their almost hear!
Post by: Boomerang on December 01, 2008, 08:17:00 AM: I am making 175 and 200gr. at the current time. So they will probably release these soon.

Post by: b.glass on December 01, 2008, 01:50:00 PM: I found them! They look pretty wicked!
Title: Re: Get ready, their almost hear!
Post by: dakota tim on December 01, 2008, 03:32:00 PM: I like the looks of them! Are you going to make glue ons?
Title: Re: Get ready, their almost hear!
Post by: beachbowhunter on December 01, 2008, 05:22:00 PM: I put some Adder points under the Hex heads to give them some teeth and to be easier to find in leaves, etc. I'll check these heads out too...
Title: Re: Get ready, their almost hear!
Post by: non-typical on December 01, 2008, 09:22:00 PM: How bout posting a link to where they are listed on the 3 rivers site...I've looked a dozen different ways and the listing doesn't show.
Title: Re: Get ready, their almost hear!

Post by: Toklat1 on December 01, 2008, 09:36:00 PM: Those heads are nice! Do you plan on a glue on anytime soon?
Title: Re: Get ready, their almost hear!
Post by: Boomerang on December 02, 2008, 06:15:00 AM: We will have to see about making glue ons on the future, but for right now you guys will have to use the glue on adapters that 3Rivers sells.

Thanks,
Boomer
