Great heads!  The Eclipse guys bought the Journeyman from a gent in Canada and have run with it.  I have killed a bunch of critters with these two heads.  They sharpen well and fly great.  I wish the Eclipse guys would have kept the 160 grain head.  I have a few, but they are hard to find.

Thanks Dave. These are 140. I'm using Bear heads now. Might give them a try.

Well built.  Initial sharpening with stones is a no-no (need a file).  I really like them!  Watch for any teflon inside the ferrule when mounting them.  Eclipse is my favorite head.

I like the Eclipse too, the new ones really sharpen up easy, out of the pack and right to the stone. The older one needed a file to start with.
