Thanks, any way to identify the spine of the arrows?

Ask/offer on classifieds here and look on the big auction site for bleeders.  

Need a spine tester to get accuate spine but if you have known spined arrows you can do a make shift test with one and a hangng weight.  Measure how much it deflects and test one of the Bear arrows to see how close it is - best I can offer.

You would have to have them spine tested.They used to put the spine on the box they came in but no markings on the arrow.They are probably late '60's arrows.My Bear catalog CD doesn't work any more or I could narrow down the year better.Earlier years,the shafts were full length painted,barred feathers etc.

Might be dumb question but are all of these broadheads 150 grains? Should I shoot these?

I think you'll find that the BH's will range from 112 to 117 gr. without bleeders. The bleeders will run about 7 gr. Shoot away!

Unless you intend to keep them as collectables, there is no reason not to shoot them. As long as the shafts aren't cracked or otherwise damaged, no reason you can't use them for there intended purpose. I believe the Bear broadheads were sold as 145 grains, but did very + or - a few grains. There great heads in fact I had 8 of them in my quiver while hog hunting this evening. I'd shoot'em!
The 145 grain may be the screw in version?

I believe the bleeders for my Eclipse broadheads are the same as those used for the old Bears.  Give Blake a calll or send him an email and he can tell you,  His contact information is in the sponsors section.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

The Razorhead was advertized as being 125 grs with bleeder.I believe Hot Haps weights are pretty accurate.Some I have that have been sharpened quite a bit weigh around 112,113,without bleeders.They aren't the real high value collector arrows so nothing wrong with shooting them if they fly well out of your bow.You can hunt with them without the bleeders if you like 2 blades.They work well.I shot an antelope buck with one that looked just like them except I had to refletch mine.

Like New condition... Wow...

 I think I'd be building a rack for those... Maybe an arrowhead point down back with a a small bottom rail and a wider to with holes for the arows to drop thru and fan out evenly...

That's be quite a display!!!

But then again they were made to be shot... But since there's plenty of good new alternatives... I'd make a display rack...

Great looking set of arrows, If you do decide to shoot them it would probably be good to put on new nocks as the old ones can get brittle with age and break while shooting.

If you do a search for Bear Razorhead Auxiliary Blades,you should find some at auction and dealers,for the Bear Super Razorhead.The blades look identical to me and should fit the Razorheads you have.

I have found these arrows are way too underspined for me. I want to use the broadheads, should I cut them off? Or should I leave them on the arrows and just buy different ones? I guess I need to learn how to salvage wood arrows, I've never used them, and don't know how to work with them

Find out what spine arrows you need for your bow and heat the Bear BH'h and mount the on the new arrows. No reason to not use them unless you want to be a collector-in which case save one old arrow.
