Thank you Trad Gang members, Broadhead collection
« on: February 05, 2008, 07:33:00 AM »
Thanks to the kindness of a lot of Trad Gang members, my son Josh has the beginnings of a really great broadhead collection. We built two cases. One holds the modern, screw in type heads and the other holds the old school glue on heads. Each case will hold 125 heads and both are nearly filled. It has been a great project for the two of us. Trad gang members made up the bulk of the donations. Some folks like Woddy from Magnus, sent several dozen heads. Thanks to all those who helped out.

Thats pretty sweet. I see a couple of dead heads mixed in there and some others that are hard to come by. You guys did a fine job on the cases too!

The joy is making one with your kid. We spent a lot of time on the project. We both learned a lot about broadheads and the kindness of strangers. I bought Josh a membership in the American Broadhead Collectors Club. I hope he keeps adding to this collection for many years.

Yes, you a a few others. The problem in trying to thank all the Trad Gangers that helped by donating heads is that almost non of them put their screen name/handle in the package with the heads and since I don't know  who's real name goes with which screen name, Josh and I are thanking everybody.

I don't see any of the old 6 blade Wasps or a POS that is plastic except for the cutting edge made in Arizona for just a year or two. If he doesn't send me the address and I can fix him up with those 2.

Cool looking collection.

Can Hahaka,  One of the club member gets them and we all buy them from him. They are just fuse clips.

Lechwe, We have both the screw in and the glue on version of the old Wasp "Greenie" 6 blades heads. We also have the 3 bladed version of both.  We do have a few diff versions of plastic heads. Hilbre is one example as is "The Ultimate"

Man o Man !   I am not a jealous person but this has brought out some funny feelings.  the kindness of the Tradgangers, the fantastic collection you guys have acquired.  and those cases.  i have been fretting over what type of case to make for my little collection and now i know  how i want it to look.  

And what a great father and son project.  

Nice work guys !
