Lafond's Lightning
« on: June 12, 2011, 10:22:00 PM »
Anyone ever hear of a broadhead, called Lafond's Lightning?
It's a 2 blade, with a coc point, and "rippled" edges.

Yes. They are often listed on the unmentionable auction site.

They had a four blade that was awesome.,,the "LIghtning Four".  Shot them for years...wish they were still being made.

Thanks, this is the first that I have seen, and they aren't legal where I hunt.
I'm just gonna put it on the wall.
Thanks for the info.

Post this over on the History and collecting forum and Raghorn or one of the other broadhead collectors can probably put an aprox. date on it. All I know they were made in Lapeer Michigan.

Yep, and mine are a-going hunting come October!!

like everything else I'm hunting with this year, and many more....it's from the 50s.

The earlier (born 1952) the better!!

God Bless
