Have a search for the heads made by RGK. For home-mades, they're some of the finest looking steel heads I've ever seen! I believe he may hve done a buildalong too?

Here's a few 3:1's, I have also copied the Bear Razorhead profile for some others.  The one on the left is sharpended conventionally, the rest are sharpened like a Grizzly.

Pintail,
Nope. Made them specifically for hog hunting at Bear Bay.  I usually hunt with stone points.  Start grindin' and let your imagination guide your design.
Good luck,

THat stealth broadhead was a result of a joke.  Don't waste your time making that design....too big, too much windplane.  I can whip them out on a plasma cutter pretty fast.
