Cool broadhead find
« on: August 22, 2016, 10:58:00 PM »
Found these in a box of arrows.  Kinda neat.  Not sure of the maker.  One says "Hilbre".  The small one at the top has a capital "H" on it.  The corkscrew one is the most unusual.

I remember seeing that bottom one in the 70s .
It was supposed to make a figure 8 cut . But they had terrible penitration .

That's a great find.

The top one looks a lot like a bodkin but the H would be out of place and it seems a bit short.

Second from the top looks kinda like an Ace.

My wife killed her first deer with a Hilbre.  Some had the bleeder blades and some not.  It worked very well but eventually CO made broadheads that Incorporated plastic illegal.

Never seen one like that fourth down.

My hunting partner in 1972 used the bottom one.  I don't recall the maker, but as enthused as he was, I was skeptical.  He never loosed one on game so we never found out of sure.

Lots of speculating on my part.  To catch the eye of the resident experts you could edit your topic title to include a reference to broadheads.

Must be my eyes or the resolution on my phone but two from the top looks like a two blade.

Top one is a HiPrecision (they sharpen up NICE but the tips are fragile).  I have a couple dozen I use for small game.

I can't tell if that's a three or two edge?  If two then I'm thinking a maybe a Lafond's (Does it have "Lightning" stamped on it?)  If not, maybe an American Sabre 2 (what is the length?) or wipe it wih oil and take another image.  I don't think it's an MA2 as the ferrule widens and narrows on them whereas yours is straitght taper.  If three - I agree with MA3.

Then a Hilbre

Sorry - duplicated.

But here's a HiPrecision - note the "H" on the ferrule.

The second one is a three blade  MA3  Bad angle on the third blade as it is facing almost directly at the camera

Nice "find". To think some of the broad heads I have are considered a "find". I still have Pearson Deadheads attached to some of my hunting arrows.

I'm hunting with 1960 Mowoc Dots (Larry Whiffen Jr. found hundreds in storage a few years ago).

Deer haven't changed in 100,000 years, so good broadheads don't necessarily have to keep up.  ;-)

Ya can't just throw out a remark about a "Mowoc Dot" (whatever that is) without a picture   :biglaugh:

I thought EVERYONE knew about them.  ;-)
