They look like very fine heads but you may have to retune your wallet. When wallets get real skinny they can have problems with centershot.

Look up some threads with videos posted by Buff.  He hunts with them and it really puts the hurt on animals.  I can't help thinking about the pig he shot and the hole it left...like straight out of a horror movie!  If I could afford them I'd use them, but not on this college students budget!  Grodes

I agree they look like they do an awesome job for a quick kill... of both the animal and your wallet.  Maybe after I win this weeks Mega Millions!

Post some pics of what you kill with them!

They are too high to buy unless you resharpen them.... I'm still using the same head I started the season with. Even as poor as I am I can swing $25.00 a year

one word of warning... I dull the back side of the blade. The first time I drew one I cut the devil out of my finger . I noramaly draw back until the broadhead touches the top finger of my bow hand. it bled for an hour  :knothead:

They look like awesome heads but with Buff's shot placement those hogs would have been just as dead with any other head.

Exactly LV2HUNT,  Sometimes we are easily parted with our cash for reasons no one can figure.  They sure look like great heads and if they were priced about 75% less, they may be a good value.

My Bear heads will last from year to year as well and my Ribteks will also.  I lose broadheads before I damage them.

If Marco is happy with them, that's all that matters 8^).

I have one-yep one.  It is a knife quality device.  If I hunted in the softer earth regions back east, I'd use it-out this way any miss on game will get you a rock encounter-no BH stands up to repeated rocks, and i do miss that often LOL

They are costly for sure but if ya take a good look at how their made and what your getting then try to figure out what it takes to make them then their really not that pricey.

All this yackin bout Ashby and single bevel heads got me wondering bout making some heck why not if folks will pay??

I'm sure most shops across the country would be happy to make ya what ever ya want providing ya had the cash.

Sorry for gettin side tracked LOL it's not likely that you would have any problems with tuning those heads or any of the other fine heads out there.They are well built strong heads and like all good stuff you'll pay for it
Shoot straight and have FUN!!

I haven't held one in my hand but I am almost positive it is double beveled head.  :confused:    :confused:

Skip, Do you mean that even though it is only  drawn 12 inches you still hurt the broadhead tapping it gently against the rocks?   :p  

Arrows are ammunition. Reusable ammo but not always recoverable....and man, there are a lot of rocks in the Rockies!(And the rest of the West)

Double bevel.
Shooting from below on a hill, I put one (125 gr)thru a 400 lb cow elk scapula, ricochet off the bottom of the spine, off the edge of the opposite scapula and lodged just under the skin off side. Arrow broke in 3 pieces richoceting and when she jumped on impact or I believe it would have passed thru. 80 yds and down. 51# bow with 450 gr arrows.


One edge still popped hair - a few strokes on a ready edge and the other did as well.

Worth it to me.

hey, I get at least 18 inches of draw, and we hav e the toughest and most plentiful supply of rocks of any place in this country!

They are truly knife quality, crisp shiny and sharp as they come-out of the box.  I just need cheaper broadheads.

I was going to write and tell you all to stop being a bunch of tite wads!!!!! Until I just looked how much they were. WOW I'm not that cheap but lets face it, those are way over priced (shiping doesn't help). Any sharp piece of steel thru a rib cage is a dead animal.
