Title: nanny down with new Centuar broadhead
Post by: RC on October 15, 2009, 11:37:00 PM
Killed a fine doe this evening on a creek crossing. I had my Grandson most of the day ,then went with the Wife shopping and got home just in time to sit a loc-on I have in the edge of the swamp behind my house.It paid off.

  I got three Centuar broadheads from Pastor Steve a wek or so ago and I am very impressed with them. It was about a 15-17 yard shot and the broadhead stuck in the ground on the other side.RC

Nice shot. As Tommy Boy would say " That's going to leave a mark " or in your case DID.

Thanks for posting.

Great job, I think I can assume the answer to this already, but what was the blood trail like?
Title: Re: nanny down with new Centuar broadhead
Post by: JimB on October 16, 2009, 11:06:00 AM
Very impressive.That is one wicked broadhead.

Good job Robert!  I'm gonna have to try some of those heads.
Title: Re: nanny down with new Centuar broadhead
Post by: RC on October 16, 2009, 01:34:00 PM
Thanks fellas. Its a single left wing beval . I believe it weighs around 180 grains not counting the 42 grain adapter I glued in.The blood trail was about 3-5 yards wide. No joke.RC

a single bevel can't do that, RC. I think you are mistaken.

Stand in the corner and repeat after me- I must not shoot single bevels, I must not shoot single bevels...

So much for the double bevel and mulitblade peoples conspiracy theories.

I believe the fact that it was a 1.75" head might have had a little something to do with the size of the hole.

Good shootin' RC. That is an impressive looking hole.

Thank you Chris   :thumbsup:  

Single bevel, or double bevel....whatever....if it's sharp,that big, and in that spot, it's gonna leave a lot of blood....period!

Congrats again Robert    :clapper:

Nice shootin' RC!

Do you have a name yet for that AWESOME BW PL?

How about THE VENTILATOR given the nice performance thus far?

Continue to enjoy your 2009 huntin' season!

Shoot straight, Shinken

nice hole !...how do you sharpen them, I use to sharpen the 190 grizz with ease but don't succeed for this one...what is the final angle of your bevel?
Title: Re: nanny down with new Centuar broadhead
Post by: RC on October 18, 2009, 08:06:00 PM
Don`t know about the angle or any of that tech stuff . I use a rounded diamond rod on the beveled side and take the "bur" off with a flat Arkansas stone. A few licks on a piece of leather and its ready to eat again.RC

RC never needs to buy meat while grocery shopping, that's for sure.  Nice shot.  

I'm heading my truck in your direction next week!

Post by: RC on October 19, 2009, 08:12:00 PM
No shoulder blade hit here. The doe was slightly angled toward me but not enough not to shoot. The exit was about 4" behind the crease.RC
