MA-3 3 blade question?

[moleman]

Having always shot 2 blades out of 60- 70 pound bows im looking for opinions on this new set up.
Sunday i pulled my H.H half Breed off the rack, feeling that it needed some field time,  plus wanting to try a 3 blade head, i went thru my stash and as luck would have it, i found 6 MA-3's .
So after some tinkering i found that the Half Breed 54 lbs at my draw, in combo with 50-55 lb Cedar shafts, and 125 gr. MA-3's flew perfect.
My question is this, since the MA-3's arent as streamlined as the newer B.H's such as the woodsman, will this set up be efficient?

They will be great, provided that you can get them sharp.

The bow is 10,000 or more years old... Some have found evidence of 64,000 years ago!

They will work just fine.

I use two blades now but the MA-3 for years was my broadhead of choice.I shot truck loads of game with them back in the day.

Thanks guys! Ive already got them sharp ( it took a little bit of work) but after these posts im more than confident with my set up. Bring on the weekend!

Be sure to post pics of your success. I have several of those heads I intended to use on small game but your results may change my mind.

I loved them for deer. When I first had the idea for single beveling a three blade, these are the  heads I converted. They worked out great and can be made very sharp with a file. They do not retain an edge as well as some newer heads on the market, but more than enough to prove effective on animals. Good luck!

I love them. They fly straight, they are tough and they get very sharp. I've killed several mature bull elk with them....

I shot my first deer with a bow in 1962 (50 years ago) with an M-A 3

Great testimonials by actual MA-3 users, thats what i like to see.
I guess theres a good reason why these heads have survived this many yrs., they get the job done!
and if you think about it, the fact that the MA-3's are still around after all these many yrs. is a testimony in itself.

I bought some for the first time last winter thinking of using them for small game but when I made up my cedar arrows for this fall, man, they ALL flew like darts. No fuss, no muss. This made me change my mind and they will be used for deer too. I've used snuffers with good success so I expect these will work well too. Having spent most of my bowhunting years using bear razorheads until the snuffer came out, I had not heard of the MA-3 but I'm very happy with their performance so far.
