No doubt!!! :readit:  I have a huge 3 phase industrial wet grinder and I can't get many more than that either. These heads just plain  eat  grinding wheels! Harry Elberg picked a great name for them: "Grizzlies"... because they sure are bears to grind! We'll get them done though.

Bill,

Your doing the right thing.  I got a good look at the new heads at ETAR and was very impressed with the changes and the quality.

Stick with it and produce the product that you know is what you want.

Agreed Mike! Bill could have these made in China and you could get them fast and cheap. I have a sign in my office that says:

"Inexpensive - Fast - Quality" pick any two.

Bill has chosen to go with Inexpensive - quality. I haven't shot one of these through a critter yet but when I get that chance and if I do my part I know I will be liking all the hard work that has gone into these fantastic Quality American Made broadheads.

Bill will make them as good as they can possibly be made at a fair price, then turn around and make them even better! Thanks Bill and Tracy, ALL of your products are worth the wait!  :thumbsup:

I was practicing with some lw 200 grain glue ons. I had one skip and hit into a large 500 pound rock. It broke off a fist size chunk of rock but barely hurt the tip. I had to straighten it a little but other than that I could sharpen it up and reuse it. These things are tough. Gary

Thank you all for the support and patience!This new venture has been a huge learning experience for us.

Just to be clear the Grizzly heads dont come ready to hunt. They do have a burr raised the full length of them. That way it only takes a few minutes and you can have them razor sharp.

Blano Give me a call you may be able to buy some unground.  :D  

Hawkeye I'm much too boney to give up eating for too long. If I stand sideways and stick out my tongue. I look like a Zipper!  :biglaugh:

I'm looking forward to using them this year. I ordered some of the 140 grain heads a couple of days ago off the website.  Bill, do you reckon I'll have them by the first of October? No big deal, but I'd like to use them opening day.

Awesome.  I was not expecting them to ship so soon. I hope they'll get a good workout this year.

Spoke to Bill on the phone a few days ago to check on progress and the challenges of a new product. We as traditional archers recognize best the hands on efforts necessary to reach a quality standard in our shooting and the products that we use to hunt. Thanks for the efforts and am looking forward to my order and hunting with a single bevel this fall.
