What I've read sure sounded good to me. Only thing is I use 145s (wood and alum) and 160s (carbon). Might be able to get by with the 150s if I can figure it out. We'll see. Thanks, Herb.

Bernie, you could add a couple of the brass washers (5gr ea) to get it right. I've got a pack in my archery box that you wouldn't believe the number of times I've had to replace after showing someone how to fine tune point weight. People always end of sayin, I gotta get me a pack of those. I get mine from 3 rivers.

ber643 · « **Reply #9 on:** December 02, 2004, 12:02:00 PM »

Yes, Herb, I just got a couple of packs a week ago from 3 Rivers so I could bring a 140 Montauk up to 145 (so I could try it - for kicks, as I like the two blade better, I think - using Eclipse mostly). I wasn't sure how many "washers" you could get away with on an arrow/head though. It would only take one on the 155s to 160 though. They (the washers) seemed like a good thing to have around to me.

Bernie ,

Hmmmm - rotsa-ruck! Hope ya do it to it. I will probably get some of the Silver Flames from you. I was planning on getting at least a pack and it is easier this way than throug the money exchage thingie and all. Sharpening most blades cramps my hands bad and even then I am not very good at it.

herb haines · « **Reply #12 on:** December 02, 2004, 09:06:00 PM »

Tuskers are not sharpened so you make the edge your self .do it watching TV LOL.never had any luck sharpening broadheads until i had to in order to sell them .they sure will strip hair LOL .
nice thing about a doz. tuskers . leave 6 unsharpend for practicing with !! nice inexpensive 2 blade head in several weights .
Thanks Tom .----- herb

ber643 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 02, 2004, 09:23:00 PM »

That's right, now I remember that one of Herb's posts was where I read about the Tusker's. I think I had his site bookmarked before my computer crashed (twice) a couple months back. I bookmarked it again now - thanks. I am a little bit like Littlefeather in his "How To" on sharpening Grizzlies (I think it was his) - whoever it was felt if a BH mfg knows there is something lacking in there BH (Like wrong angle) why don't they fix it before they sell it. I agree - I don't see why they don't sharpen them (for what all of them cost) - so at least all you would have to do is resharpen them after you dull them - or replace them if you can't, or don't want to. It is like software for computers - they put it out knowing it has bugs - and then fix the bugs later - maybe. Oh well - sign of the times. I know there are a lot of folks who love to sharpen things. That still shouldn't let the mfg off the hook on the initial product's condition.

SilverFlame Broadheads

Sorry about that last post, didn't work right. This is the link for the Silver Flame broadheads homepage. There is a link on the bottom of the page to a section called "Details" This will tell you everything you want to know, and more. You will see why it is the finest made broadhead on the market.

P.S. I am a student of Metallurgy and can appreciate the details of the materials used in the making of this head; they are some of the strongest materials out there and he uses them to perfection. Good Hunting!

Hmmm - it's working alright on my Mozilla Firefox Browser and I bet it would on Netscape Navigator but to the best of my knowelge MSs Internet Explorer (The Big Bopper - NOT!) doesn't respond to animations. Neat display and it interests me to note that the outside shape of the SF is very like my current favorite Eclipse BHs , which was patterned after the old... oh shoot the name of that very popular BH has just escaped me. Oooops it came back - Journeyman.....(I think). Anyway, you folks probably know.

(from the web site)
Blade

Material: X90CrMoV18

Internationally also known under the ASTM designation 440 B. You will recognize that alloy from high-grade hunting knives as well

In actual bowhunting practice you will appreciate the first-class combination of edge-retention and easy resharpening.

The blades are a ready to use right out of the box! That’s right, both the assembled broadheads as well as the replacement blades are razor sharp and will take the hair off your arm effortlessly.
Handle with the utmost precaution!!
SAFETY FIRST AND ALWAYS!!

A CNC-Laser cuts the blades from a tool steel board. The thickness of 1.80mm (.071”) and the grinding of the cutting edges are made in a CNC wet-grinding process to preserve the hardness of the steel. No other manufacturer offers this blade strength!! Prior to this process the blades are bead-blasted and vibratory ground.

The blades are precisely tempered to 55-57 HRC.
In order to ensure a homogenous molecular structure of the steel, the blades are then subzero quenched in a special cooling chamber.

The final process in achieving razor sharpness is accomplished by de-burring of the edges on a wheel containing elephant leather and a special polish paste.

The rear blade (trailing edge) is not sharpened at the factory. This feature serves the intended purpose, as well as the rounded off ferrule, an easier arrow retraction.
All blades have a cutting diameter of 1-1/8" to meet all relevant hunting laws and regulations worldwide.

The treatment of the blades is made by a specialized company for high-quality industrial knives in Germany’s "knifemaker capital city" SOLINGEN.
