Abowyer BH Brown Bear
« on: May 05, 2012, 10:03:00 PM »
Anyone use these?  Are they as good as the grizzly? Looking for the best two blade single bevel but it need a total weight of no more then 200 grain.

Great heads. I have looked them over closely but haven't needed any. Great reputation. They have had a nearly finished edge for a long time.

My son and I use the Abowyer BB on Elk and pigs. We used Grizzlies in the past and prefer the Abowyers-better bevel angles and the fact that they are hunting ready out of the package.

I have never personally seen an abowyer head, but the new Grizzlies Bill is producing are awesome. They come with a great grind on them. All that is needed is to run them over a stone a few times and they are SCARY    :scared:    sharp. They are extremely tough as one I was practicing with earlier this year stuck all the way in the knot of an oak tree and there was no damage to the head after pulling it out. I got the 120 grains and with a 75 grain adaptor and a little glue they all come in right at 200 grains.

Alfredo,

I use the BB's and have killed a couple deer with them here in Wisconsin.  Outstanding construction and surgically sharp edges with big wide bevels to drive that rotation.  They fly like field points.  I also use the Wapiti and may prefer them for their geometry i.e. width.  You can't go wrong though, with the BB's.  They are probably better than the Grizzly's (subjective) but I shoot both anyway.

Get some, you like em!

Abowyer Brown Bears are precision made and built like a tank.  They ooze quality.  Click on the link to see a small tour of the factory:

Guys thanks for the info, as soon as my heavy arrows get here I will do a little tuning and see what grain head I can use. It will be the Aboyer or Grizzly for sure.
Steve the factory tour looked very cool.  Thank trip looked fantastic !!! Those salmon were beautiful!!

I think the Abowyer line of broadheads is about as good as it (affordably) gets. Fact is...I don't think any amount of extra money will buy a better performing broadhead.

As a matter of personal taste, I'm not a fan of the longer heads (like the BB). I like my heads just a bit shorter and with a slightly sharper cutting angle. I started using the Abowyer Wapiti several years ago. As an example of their performance, I've shot two big Alaska-Yukon bulls and gotten complete penetration each time. My last arrow flew through a bull's ribs and into the thick timber behind him...never to be recovered.

I want to thank ssoden. He was interested in my woodsmen 175. And in return he is sending me 200 grizzlys. So I also ordered 3 pack of Aboyer BB. So I will have the best of both worlds....3 grizzlys and 3 Aboyer BB.  Thanks SSoden.  Man I love his site. Hogs beware  :)
