Tusker broad heads
« on: May 30, 2008, 01:29:00 PM »
Well, any opinions on the the tusker Delta (160 grain) or the tusker Aztec (175 grain) broad heads for Wisconsin whitetails?  I shoot a 54 pound longbow at 29 1/2 inches (like 58 pounds at my draw).  My arrows are around 600 grains with those heads.

I have never shot them, but I like the weight and have heard they are tough.  Are they easily sharpened?     :confused:

I picked up some of the deltas when 3-rivers was clearing them out for $12 a pack. I was very pleased. They are a good solid head for the money, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them on deer. You will have to spend a little more time to sharpen them, but they are easy to sharpen and get a good edge.

You'll be fine. I shot a buffalo and a pig with the 160 grain Deltas. I find the Delta easy to sharpen.

I got dozen of each from John and must say I am very impressed! My personal favorite is the 175 gr. Aztec. This is one well built, serious broadhead. The Spirits, Deltas, and Concords are all very tough heads too. Can't find fault with any of them but man, I love those Aztecs!

P.S. There's a rumor going around that Tuskers will soon be available pre-sharpened...   :saywhat:

I have a half dozen of the 175 Aztec. Haven't hunted with them yet, but they are solid, well made BH's. They fly great. I also made a couple into Single-Bevel. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on deer.

I have used them for a couple of years now and shot a buffalo with a 160 Delta...a great broadhead at a great price...all you have to do is sharpen them. Before carrying them, a buddy and I shot them into 1'4" aluminum plate at 10 yards out of a 55# longbow and they performed great.
