GrizzlyStik Redline

[KentuckyWolf]

Anyone had their hands on or got experience with the GrizzlyStik Redline broadheads?

How do they compare to something like Magnus Stingers or BearPaw Jagers?

[KentuckyWolf]

No one?

Alaskan bow hunting supply is a great company and had a lot of great products that catered to traditional bowhunters....

Then for whatever reason they did leave the traditional bow hunting for mainstream ($$$)and it seems that the traditional bow hunting committee I shunned them.

Just an observation....based on postings on TG

Shunning? I would say that seems weird with people willing to embrace ILF, mag or carbon risers, exotic string materials, etc.; however, I saw how quickly people turned on Magnus after they tried to spin off their traditional glue on heads to another business.

I have use stingers on every arrow with every animal I have taken for 12 years, and I have had great results with them. I was just hoping for some input. I have everything perfectly tuned for 125gr heads w/100gr inserts. I could go to a 25gr insert and 200gr head...done that and it works fine but I got two dozen arrows with 100gr inserts in them....so looking at options for a 125gr head.

Was looking at the 125gr GrizzlyStik Redlines or BearPaw Jagers. Looking at options for a solid head.....

Don't kill the messenger....just what i have observed on many threads over the years, and been told.....

Terry,
Nothing directed at you...no killing the messenger. Just silly that people would fault or hold a grudge or shun a company that still seems to make a quality product.

 Happens way to often. Magnus when they went to all screw in. Black Widow when they started using CNC. I even heard stories of more than a few old times that were royally upset with Bear when they started making compounds.

Anyways. Does anyone one have a suggestion for a good 125gr broadhead. I got plenty of stingers but I want other options.

I'm holding out for heavier Simmons Makos. Some guys on here have had good luck with the Carbon Express Piledriver heads and 3rivers has a sweet price on them. I have not used the redlines but I think more people will like them than the standard line. The original heads in 440c frustrated the impatient and the new steel is probably less abrasion resiistant.

I have not personally used the 125's but the VPA looks like a solid choice.  I use the 175's and they are great.

Another one worth a look that I don't think many trad hunters have seen. Afflictor has launched a line of fixed blade broadheads that look to be of good design. Right in the price range of the Redlines.

[KentuckyWolf]

Anyone got experience with VPA 2 blades?
Or with Simmons LandSharks? (I know a lot has been posted on here about Simmons broadheads but most of those seem to be about the larger heads)

[bigbadjon]

The first deer I ever killed was with a Simmons Landshark. It killed the deer quickly... but it also bent on the offside shoulder and took an almost 90 degree bend. So that said I wist they were a little springier and that the screw on ferrule was longer for more support. Caveat, this was a 100gr model and 15 years ago. The newer models may be better heat treat and heavier models may be much tougher.

Im looking to test the redline series this year against a regular silver flame to see how they do. I love the silveflames(enough i have one tattooed on my right arm) but they are a bit salty on the price.

[KentuckyWolf]

I know to regular silverflames are suppose to be great...I just couldn’t pay for one ailverflame what it cost for 3 stingers. That being said, if I had a chance to go for bison or moose or grizzly/brown bear...they might be in my quiver. The new redlines have a better price...making me consider them.
