What broadhead is this?
« on: September 20, 2009, 11:06:00 AM »
I have 8 of these and dont know what they are. They arent going to be used for anything, just curious about them. They are 3" long and 1" wide. The weight is around 110 grains. Can anybody help???

WW, you might try posting this over on the History/Collecting Forum, there's a bunch of ABCC members hang out over there...

I'm curious myself;  I believe the Ribtek had a more convex shape to the blade...

good luck!  :thumbsup:

It looks like a Ribtek but they didnt make any that long that only weighed 110gr. It is a 2 blade right?

Its a 2 blade. The side in the picture is concave and the other side is convex, like they used a press on them..

Looks like a Varmiter to me.  Thin steel almost like banding steel.  Decent flying head, I mounted a few, but never shot anything but foam with them.

It looks like a Varminter, 1986 model.

Thanks folks, I'm not going to use them for anything except to sit on the bow rack. They arent very sturdy but they are cool looking.

Mark, Thank you for them. I think they are some of the coolest I have. I mounted 2 on arrows to put on the wall by my bow rack...Roy
