I bought a couple 3 paks of 150 Silver Flames from Herb a year or 2 ago.
I always like to practice/test with 1 broadhead of several brands, over the year and during the hunting season.
I've been using 1 each of the Silver Flames 150, a Magnus Stinger 150, a sharpened Sasquatch 150 (?) 2 blade and a Muzzy 200gr 2 blade on my Glendel Buck target in my basement range since LAST Summer. I can't think of how many times I must shot those heads into the target.
And as I "test" heads, I've shot the Silver Flames more than the others.
I shoot lower poundage. I have one 40lb recurve, and in longbows a 40, a 42 , a 43, a 44, a 45 and a 47lbs. So I really like something extra, extra sharp for the best penetration.
So, I just went downstairs to the basement range to do an unscientific test of all 4 heads on my arm hair. The Muzzy? Dull. The Sasquatch? Dull. The Magnus Stinger? Dull. The Silver Flame? Razor sharp and shaved hair! All after several hundred shots into my Glendel Buck.
I could still use that Silver Flame on an animal right now, after probably 100's of target shots.
All I can say is, Silver Flames are from outer space! If I didn't know better, I'd say they were not from Germany, but from area 51 and found at the Roswell UFO crash site. LOL
The only other head screw in heads I'd like to test next to the Silver Flames this year are the Steelforce Hellfire 150 and new Steelforce Traditional 145. Not testing for sharpness, because nothing will beat the Silver Flames there, but just for overall quality and to test for testings sake. Plus testing if I can get away with the Hellfire with a lower poundage bow.
I'd also like to test those heads on some big fat doe's at about 12 paces.
But almost certainly, the Silver Flames will again prove that they in fact did fall to earth from outer space, and prevail.
I don't know why I keep wasting my time and money playing with other heads, other than just bow/testing fun in the basement. I'm sure I'll buy some Steelforce, find them to be great heads, but yet not from outer space, like the Silver Flames.
Then come hunting season, it will be Silver Flames in my quiver, again.
