Grizzly or Wolverine

[Stan the bow man]

I am thinking of ordering 160 gr any PROS.or CONS

Thanks for input

The Grizzly 160 is one of the best broadheads available. They're tough to sharpen for a lot of people but fly great, and they're practically indestructible.

I don't have any first hand experience with the 160 gr. Wolverine but the smaller, lighter ones are famous for bending over at the base of the ferrule. The Wolverine is much easier to sharpen but, that's a non-issue if the head is prone to fail.

Hopefully someone will be along to let us know if the 160s are stronger than the 125s.

I have used the Wolverines, mostly in the 160's.  They are fine if you put a tanto tip on them.  I don't think they are available any longer though...and the Grizzly is a much better choice anyway.

The Wolverines were much easier to sharpen than the Grizzly, and offered more cutting diameter but were no match for the Grizzly's strength.  We used to carry them but finally gave up due to constant supply problems, and I believe they were later discontinued.

A very similar head to the Wolverine that is readily available is the Tusker Aztec.  I put tanto tips on those (and everything else) too.

Woverine has a great shape, but as noted tend to fold up like cheap paper. Cost me a fine bull once, which prompted me to write the manufacturer and suggest he either beef 'em up or take 'em off the market. Go with the Grizzly; you can always have Sharpster (KME) get a good edge on 'em. And there are other great two-blades out there and getting better: STOS promises to have a near-perfect Ashby style head available in various weight this spring and I'm waiting to see those before I buy any more heads. Similarly, Grizzly is rumored to be redesigning in order to have left as well as right-hand single bevels. This is a good time to stand back and watch for a while.
