How many broadheads do you have?
« on: July 10, 2017, 09:26:00 AM »
I was cleaning up my garage and found a bunch of broad heads that I used in the past and was amazed at how many I have.

I've been using the palmer extreme cut and muzzy phantom broadheads for the past five years and some odds and ends that I had in my broadhead carrier which were a woodsman or two, two snuffers, a couple of razorcaps and a few grizzlies.  

I knew I had a stash in my garage but it was buried under all kinds of crap. Finally cleaned up and found 20 160gr grizzly glue ons, 10 125gr grizzly glue ons, 6 stos glue ons, 4 zwicky deltas, 5 zwicky 4 blades, 6 razorcaps, 6 125gr phantoms, 8 200gr phantoms. 8 snuffers, 10 woodsmans and 6 two blades I don't know who makes them.

Anybody else build up a collection without trying over the years? lol

Most of us have more broadheads than we are willing to admit ( or let the wife know about). One of the joys of shooting is trying new stuff out.   Can you post a pic of those ( I don't know who) heads ?

Right now I have 60 completed arrows with broadheads, I do not know how many are in the broadhead drawer.  I gave out two dozen arrows last year with broadheads, Ribtecs, and another 2 dozen with blunts and target points.  I could do that this year again and still not put a dent in my stash, but I think everyone is already geared up for the coming year or two, so I will not be buying anymore arrow making supplies for a while. My wife uses Zwicky Eskimos, I only have 11 of those.  The reality is that if I had the arrow spines that matched them for myself the only heads that I would need would be Eskimos, but I am like a kid a candy shop, so I have a variety of three to one heads.

I have at least 300, but wouldn't be surprised if the actual number was closer to 500.  But I also just bought 13 dozen shafts to go with the other 20 or so dozen I have around.  Things aren't getting any cheaper, I'm stocking up now while I can afford to.

0 thus far!

But I am only four months into my journey. Still a long way to go before I get to this point.

I've gathered quite an assortment in drawers over the years.  I don't collect them and don't even consider using any other than my Helix.

I buy a set of 3 every now and then of a model that seems interesting. The set I have but have never used that is the most intriguing is the VPA 3-blade.  I have some of the Grizzlies that are modeled after the German Kinetics (I recall).  That would be the 2-blade I'd use if I tried something other than the Helix.

I don't know for sure but not enough! LOL

I love the VPA 3 blades, worked flawlessly last year.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

I counted over 600 a few months back  when I "tried" to organize. And Iv bought more since...

Most are vintage and come with other purchases, but in my crazy mind I think I'll use them all for something hahaha

More than most and apparently a lot less than some. Prob 75-100 never counted. If I don't know how many I have I can't say I have too many.

I don't have many.  Maybe 60.  Includes:

190 ribtek
145 ribtek
125 Magnus
Bear greenies
Bear stainless
Hilbres
Bodkins (large and small)
MA3s
Some Hoyt bow bullets
Some ????? Four blades

And, when I find out which grandkid made off with my Ace 145s I'm gonna get em back?

The only ones I use any more are the 190 Ribbies.
