Wow, great thread! Lots to learn here.
I've got some experience with both the ww and the big grizzly.
Reading Terry's story I was reminded of when I watched my dad kill a large bull buffalo a few years ago... He was set up with the typical single-bevel 2 blade out of his 55# Grizzlybow longbow (700+ grain arrow). On his first shot the arrow hit a rib- it actually bent the broadhead about 40 degrees and only penetrated about 8 inches (taking one lung). Later, a second shot thru the heart finished the impressive animal. Maybe a different broadhead would've made a difference. Personally, I have had great luck with the head, but I doubt you'll get him to shoot them again. Since we all like to look at pictures here he is:
I think the WW is a great head, and I always modify the tip as mentioned above. I like how they sharpen easily, spin true, and fly like field points. The only reason I shoot a different head now is because I hunt with heavy heads on wooden arrows, and the glue on WW is only 125 gr. Another picture, this the result of a successful whitetail hunt. Notice how I also modified the tip (and how worked over that head looks! I think that was it's 3rd deer).
So- have any of you fellas found a good way to make the WW heavier in the glue-on configuration? I know you can add lead, but will that get it very heavy? I'd love to see it go 190 gr, like the big 2 blades I use now.
I'm anxious to see how the original quest in this thread turned out!
