Are you a broadhead junkie?
« on: August 29, 2010, 08:53:00 AM »
What's up with this place?
I'm going broke.
I can only shoot one arra at a time,
yet I still buy more broadheads.
Where does this end?
Live in a van down by the river?

Rounds of cheese make good broadhead targets and tasty too.

It's not the place it is your obsessive compulsive need to hoard. Welcome to our world.    :banghead:    :biglaugh:

The river is not a bad place and a van can hold a lot of bows.

Those rivers have nice mud banks, great for testing new broadheads!

Funny, I shot Bear Razorheads for a three decades.  However, the last 10 years I've been shooting several. I've killed deer with each type of G5. This year I'll use the Helix 2-blade single bevel jobs even though I bought some Magnus Stingers that haven't been out of the package.

Since I found the 2 blade glue on STOS 130 and 145 grain broadheads which I shoot out of my two bows, I've quit buying other brands of broadheads. The STOS are strong, the tips don't curl and they fly like a field point.

If I lived 5 lifetimes I'd never need to buy another broadhead.  Sure I have my favorites but most all of them would get the job done, and done well.

I still tend to try a lot of the new stuff, product "research" you know!   :D    :D    :D

I too, resemble that statement! After vowing to purchase no more, I just ordered 6 Big Game heads from Jim at Centaur...they just look to awesome not to try.

I felt the same way about my broadhead set-up till I saw those...
I will be using them this year!!! Easier to sharpen than the Simmons but a big cutting heavy head.... But Not quite as easy to sharpen as other straight or convex heads... But close enough to give them a field test with no doubts
