Wolverine broadhead
« on: February 18, 2013, 05:37:00 PM »
I found a pack of 130GR Wolverine Broadheads at a flea market but haven't been able to find any info on them.

The  package says they were made by Abel MFG. in Fairland IN.
The design looks pretty old but I haven't found any info about them or the company by Googling it.

Does anyone know anything about these and when they were made?

Do they have a straight edge or curved? The straight edge was done by Harry Elburg in 1990, the curved edge by Shawn Schoonver in 1999.
Old is relevant.
They are very similar to Glenn St.Charles' Mickey Finn.

They were orginally the "other" head that Harry Elburg made... the primary one being the grizzly...

Harry sold the grizzly and wolverine line to a fellow by the name of Jim Able in Fairland, IN... Jim made the heads a while (early 90's) and then had a fire at his business and he sold the line to Shawn Schoonver who was from Pennsylvania I believe...

Shawn has since sold the "grizzly" line to Bill Dunn of Zipper Bows in Ohio...

Good heads... only knock I've heard against them is that the tip wants to curl on occasion as the ferrule doesn't go all the way to the tip...

Ya know I really don't need to shoot them now. I think I'll leave them in the package and put them away for a few more years. They might make some good trading material in the future. Thanks for the info guys
