Title: Bod-Kin 3 blade broadheads...anyone use them?
Post by: Russ Clagett on October 16, 2013, 04:13:00 PM: So I was browsing an online catalog at an archery supply place and came across these broadheads...made since 1946...

Anyone use these? Can you tell me how they fly, mount, and sharpen...?

thanks!

Saw some listed on **** a couple of years ago, bought them and put them on some cedars that I made. Shot a nice doe with one of those arrows. Bodkins fly straight and are easy to sharpen, too.
