Hey, there is no such thing as "roughly" 3 inches long in determing broadheads  - you need to get a micrometer and mesurements by .00001" if you want to know if it was build on Monday morning or Wednesday evening, May or December in 1934 or 1967 1/2  .   :readit:  

my guess: Silencer MK-4

... but it is roughly 2.5" long   :knothead:

Funny Falk.    He is correct, however, but just to get an idea what head it might be can be a little more laid back.  I agree on his guess as well.  Falk knows broadheads.

By the way, there is a series of books published by Wade Philips.  Not cheap, but not so bad, that basically will identify nearly anything known, PLUS, the photos are prety much life size so you can lay the broadhead down onto the picture and get a better idea.  These are often available on E-Bay.  If you are interested in broadheads, I suggest you look into one of these.
It is amazing how many different heads are and were available.
