Snuffers... Gone for good?

[Rando]

Huge Snuffer fan, and now so is my son which has definitely put a strain on my aged supply. Had hoped some manufacturer would pick up this proven head, but I don't see 'em out there now that I'm in a position to replenish what I had. Just wondering if anyone's heard any glimmers of hope or if there are any remaining 160 grainers available anywhere?

Have to check on stock but...
Nocking point carries them
simplytraditional.net carries them
bravehart says they have the 100 grain
Raptor says they have the 125 grain
KustomKing has 100 grain

add some woody weights..?

maybe one of these places can set you up..

I can't find the big 160 grain anywhere. Sad to see this proven head go! I've been a big fan

[Slickhead]

fs arrows has some

pricey though

you can get 6 original woodsmans for the price of 3 snuffers

I emailed inquiring what they were trying to sell the company for but never heard anything back.

FS Archery wants $38 for 3 Snuffers, Wowsers!

I am convinced the Snuffer is dead as far as production goes.  But it will live on as a legend and carefully stashed, thoughtfully used head for many decades to come.  Much like a Deadhead IMO.

As a big fan of the Snuffer that makes me sad of course.

I'd think someone would pick up the tooling for the progressive punch ferrule die if nothing else.  Don't know how they'd make the original woodsman if the ferrules dry up... they always used Snuffer ferrules for those as far as I know. Maybe three rivers will pick them up.

I chalk it up to the current "single bevel two blade" fad.  Geeze, those big three blade heads aren't worth a crap.... some guy wrote an article, you know.  You'll have plenty of cookie cutter look alike 1 inch wide two blade heads to choose from though.... in right AND left bevel....   :rolleyes:  

I picked big Snuffers up and hoarded them over the years, always thinking "what if?"... I've got a lifetime supply at around 300 heads now... but I'll guard them closer than I used to, likely won't gift many anymore....

I've put in a phone call or three to Mr. Smith. I never heard anything back. I like my two blade Mag II's, Looks like they're on the same boat as the snuffers.

[Terry Green]

Yeah....I too kinda wish I wouldn't have sold my Snuffers...ESPECIALLY the 160s...and the ones I sanded down to the 125 width.....man I wish I had those still!!!!!

Enjoyed lot of fine action with snuffers.

$42 for 6 heads at Thunder Valley Simply Traditional.

Does anyone know if the equipment and name for sale?

[Ray Lyon]

I used to use Snuffers for a short time in the 160 grain glue on size. The 100 grain (125 with aluminum insert) are very weak compared to a glue on 160. Kustom King Trailmaker is a very good option if you want a strong 3 blade head if you can't find any vintage snuffers.

[Ken Taylor]

You guys made me think to check what I have left = 6 x 160's (installed on arrows) and a new pack of 6 x 145's.

Gees... eventually I may have to take some off of my "special kill" souvenir arrows!

[Mint]

I've got four of them left but a bunch of woodsmans also.

I'm not sure but it seems to me that today's trad  bowhunters doubt the power of their recurves and longbows. Maybe it's because so many come from the compound world... lots of bad information about trad equipment floating around there.

It's almost as if they expect multiblade heads to bounce off of game. That sure hasn't been my experience.
As I age I've reduced the weight of the bows I shoot and I can tell you penetration is the least of my worries and I love huge 4 blade heads.

As Ryan stated, this has probably contributed to the demise of a fine broadhead. I don't use them, but sure hate to see them go.

I AGREE.
Now I've been a bit guilty of this too..but...
I think a lot of us are setting up our gear to water buffalo standards just to hunt deer....and are still worried about our setups.
