Anyone Try These Broad Heads???
« on: September 28, 2013, 12:41:00 AM »
These look like they may be good for whitetails n such. They are offered in a single bevel with a bleeder of approx 5/8ths of an inch. They are only offered in 100 and 125 tho.  

    Please no links to non sponsor sites.

Wouldn't the bleeders interfere with the cutting rotation of the single bevel?

Yes it would. But I would only be worried about it on critters bigger or tougher than Whitetails. I think it would possibly be a little better that a straight double bevel. Maybe.

The ones in the picture look like a double bevel.

If they hold up (they probably will ) they look like they should work fine, especially on deer sized critters.  I don't think it would matter what bevel you got, but Dagwood's comment is a good one.

I checked the website and they mention both single and double-bevel heads available, and that the double-bevel are the ones shown.

The bleeder,being forward could help open up a wound channel but I could also see it hindering penetration on some bone hits,even thinner bones.

They look like good heads for deer sized game and small hogs. What grain weight are they?

The vents are angled forward,that would cause to much resistance.Just stick with a good old non- vented 2blade.

single bevels would only be sharpened on one side of a face- these are sharpened on both sides of the same plane, so I don't think they're single bevel.

And they are available in single bevel with a right grind right now.

They have been great on huge animals.  I shot an Eland with one as well as numerous kudu and wildebeest.

It looks like a steep angle, I think a longer and narrower head for me, like the old Hill heads

Awesome. I know that the bleeder may not be desirable to alotta folks. But I was thinking just on whitetail size critters and all these free range exotics in Texas such as black buck that winding wound channel with that bleeder would cause alot of lung destruction. Obviously on larger criiter I would take the bleeder out.

They look like Silverflames with a bleeder. Better idea would be for the bleeder to trail. Think I would pass. How much?
