Yet another grizzly broadhead question...

[coldpaddler]

Can anyone tell me if the quality of grizzly broadheads have improved over the years?  

I purchased some about 7 years ago and was truly amazed at what poor condition they were in.  Some of the ferrules were out of round due to the brazed layers being misaligned.  Two of the six were in good alignment and after much work with a file, Lansky sharpener and strop, I managed a respectable edge.  I took a nice whitetail that fall using one of the grizzly heads, but have not used them since because they were such a hassle to get into hunting condition.

After reading Dr. Ashby’s report, I think I might have to give the grizzly a second chance.

Alaskan Dan,

I can only comment on the Griz Grande 190's.  I've never purchased an inferior broadhead from that company.  Sorry to hear you had a less than satisfying experience, but I'd not characterize that product line based upon the description of your experience.  Suggest you consider writing to Sean at Grizzly, tell him your past experience and allow him to make it right.  Big picture, the danged broadheads are only about what, $4.00 each.  Not a big monetary loss, when you consider overall how much we all spend for the priviledge to hunt God's wonderful creatures.

Dan,

I have never had a quality controll problem with them and have been using them off and on for the last 10 yrs, you perhaps just received a bad run. The company now grinds the bevel at approx. 26 deg rather that the 40 deg angle they used before. They are easier to get hunting sharp now.

Grizzlies and Stos are two of the finest available JMHO.

I've used Grizzlies a lot, and I've sold boatloads more.  If I could only have one broadhead it would be a Grizzly, although I enjoy using lots of different heads.

It is true the tolerances are not on a par with say Magnus, but they are great heads.  Grizzlies don't cost as much either, although both are very affordable.

Over the years I've had 1 with a ferrule out of whack, but I've had a Magnus with the same problem as well.  In manufacturing, sometimes things just don't quite go as planned.

Anyway, I think they are good broadheads.  I am fond of saying, "If you can't kill it with a Grizzly, you can't kill it with a bow!"   :D

Thanks for the feedback.  I think I'll put some grizzly 190's on my wish list for next year and try my best to introduce them to a moose.
