anyone out there using the Howard Hill Broadheads? Ive got some that I bought off **** a few yrs back I been thinking about trying...PR

I used some a few years ago.  They flew great but were tuff to get sharp.  That is until I met the "wheelie" sharpener from Simmons archery.  I did kill a doe with one.  It zipped through her so quick I thought I missed.  She hopped off about 30 yards and fell over dead.  Not a drop of blood on the ground.  Also stuck one in a tree (I mmmmmmissed).  When I tried to get it out, the broadhead broke where the rivet is.  Lots of people have way more experience with'em than I do. Do a check on search.

I am using them this year.  Probably will stick with them cuz they fly so well and Howard took over 4000 animals with them.  Will look into the wheelie sharpener for them though!

I looked at it and think an accu-sharp would work as well

I shot two deer with them this year. Zipped right through both of them, was amazed.  they are hard to get sharp, there is a lesson the the tradgang dvd and it works.  they are tough, and fly great, and great penetration.

I used the current Hill head side by side with my modified Grizzlys this year. They both are close to the same overall profile and fly exactly the same from my longbow. Both the Sharpened Hill head and a modified Grizzly weigh somewhere in the 175grain weight range +/-. The Hill blade is as tough as ever, but the new ferrule/pin is most definitely a weak link. The ferrule is die cast from pot metal and the pin is soft. A hard hit will dislodge the pin. Also, anything such as hair, debris, grislte, fat, etc. that can find its way between the blade and ferrule will wedge the ferrule so it splays open and it will dislodge the pin or will break.

I've used these heads for years with great success.  The only time I've had a ferrule/pin problem is when I've missed and hit rocks.  I sharpen one side only with a round chainsaw file like a Grizzly and they are very sharp.  They blow right through deer shoulders and penetrate moose vertebrae so they are pretty tough on bone.  I'll agree, they aren't as tough as Grizzlys or other heads, but out here when the wind is blowing good, no other head flies as true.
