No 'fence taken Jo! :D  I've so far only tested both heads for flight & sharpness, I haven't introduced them to aything living yet! As I say, I'm going from intuition & supposition & nothing as radical as experience or actual proof!
The Silverflame heads are sheer engineering works of art, no doubt about it & I will be trying very hard to poke one through the wobbly, important bits of any Eland that are dumb enough to let me get within range!  :D  :D  I reckon I'll be giving the Deadheads a good workout in Texas though, with the piggies & javies  ;)

Good discussion guys.  Keep us posted on your field findings Rob!

Treeman, thanks for the reply.  That's what I was looking for.  I know that the taper and ferrule will mate and am not as much worried about mounting them well.  I am worried about, as you say, the "undersized" shaft leaving a gap to the ferrule.  It's mostly an aesthetic thing but also being sure to fill that gap with glue evenly and consistently from arrow to arrow.  Not a big deal but a small detail to pay attention to.  11/32's, thanks.

I talked with vince in colorado,he sell the silver flames. The heads have dropped to 66.00 per three.The reason they are high is that 50% of the price is excise tax. His prices are based on our dollar value compared to the euro.

He was really informative,and a good guy to deal with,and I ordered one set of 18o gr heads. I'm excited to see a real one.

I'll be sure to let you know how they perform.

How can 50% of the price be excise tax when the tax on broadheads is only 11%?

Import duty?
