Flyrite - Nice Bear Giant Razorhead. Can you get it aligned true on your arrow?

Fred said that real Giant Razorhead did not fly very well...

How does this one fly???

Do you collect MBH Buttons?

Its not to bad to align, the real problem is getting it in the quiver. Trying to shoot thru trees also presents a problem, but the blood trails are easy to follow. Yes I do collect MBH pins.

Those giants do'nt fly good at all I even coverd mine with plastic to keep it from rusting during flight tests.
If you think Fred's giant was short lived.You want to see a really super good short lived broadhead ??? Then check out the Bowdoc wooden broadheads.They were so good a flew so straight and true.They were one of the best broadheads ever.We were just setting up for production and realized some those compound shooters could not sharpen them.One guy said they would not hold and edge another said they floated...I just scraped the whole project after that....bd

I heard it was just a small splinter group of bowhunters that really liked them!

Here's a great broadhead by an even greater man.I know some of you guy's will guess this one real quick but some younger guy's might not.
I've shot razorheads about all of my years of bowhunting.I've killed 99% of my critters with bear razorheads.
This broadhead was one I just had to try one time.I arrowed a black bear in Que'bec 2004 with this one mounted to a Bill Sweetland forgewood arrow with a headshrinker.Great tribute to two great men.What is it ? bd

Was this a question for a specific broadhead?
Anyhow, what the BowDoc took to kill a black bear and what is shown in the pic above is a StCharles "MickeyFinn"
There is a e8ay auction going on right now, with two Mickey Finns on arrows! That would be something to get and later take a critter with it ...

Don, How did you slot the barrel to keep it all together for shooting without losing pressure. We can't use barbed heads here in Michigan but could cut off the end and use it for a fish arrow. Good idea!

Don - Neat Cartridge Case Head. Have seen a few others that are over 50 to 70 years old...

Perhaps the most unique is Archery Hall of Fame Inductee, Karl Palmetier's circa 1930s, .30 Caliber, Cartridge Case, 5-Barb Broadhead. It is shown at the bottom of page 22 in "Broadheads 1871-1971 Identification and Rarity Guide, Second Edition".

Palmetier's head was a legitimate broadhead that he mounted on an arrow and used for shooting fish. It is actually one of the most functional old fish broadheads ever made. It is also one of the many favorites in my collection.
