That's the plan Bill. The Deadheads are going to be walking the woods with me this fall. My friends Mother also died this year and he's in a bad way. I think I'll be listing the Bear and other arrows soon to raise a little cash to help him out. I think it's the right thing to do.

There’s something to be said about sentimental value!  It is more priceless than one can sum up.

A little tough to tell from the pic, but it looks like a '53 Cub.  Running Bear decal?

The decal is missing Jeremy. It has most of the Cub Decal and Patent Pending Decal.

I love the old Bear arrows.

i would NOT use the original deadheads...collector items now...
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?

I have a few dozen of them already Don. They were made for hunting and that's what I do with them.

Nice Dave....real nice.

Had a friends widow give me some of his old Deadheads and a Package of Bear Razorheads still in the box. The bears are staying put but I thought I might try the Deadheads, are they really that collectable? I got several of both sizes and thought it would give the old guy a smile if he knew they were going to be used again.

if memory serves correctly, the early/original deadheads were made with a 4 degree ferrule causing some mounting problems that's why they were discontinued/changed/improved (?)...the deadheads i had back in the 80's i, foolishly, traded...

a company later produced a similar broadhead called the 'butterfield brute' of which i still have a few.

nevertheless, a very good 'treasure'...
i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?

I'm not an avid collector but I have a few deadheads in a drawer.
These blades look so weird.
