Does anyone have pics of impact and/or exit from 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" Abowyer heads? Wapiti or Bonehead Large?

No one with any pics?

I’ll have to check my computer for better pics as these got stamped with the photo bucket fiasco and the story went through a Tradgang conversion so it’s not exactly as it was. For now though Page 7 has entry and exit of a 1-1/4” Bonehead:

Thanks

I will not try to sugar coat it. If you want trauma and can push it, shoot wide VPA 3 Blades. Single Bevel will penetrate and kill. Blood tails suffer one for one but dead is dead, find it…

Both work, pick your path….

I currently shoot 160/190 grain Snuffer, 190/250 grain VPA, 200 grain Grizzly Instinct. Want to try Big Single bevel on hogs and javelina.

All I can say from reading your posts is send a bigger, wider spear… Why not? Javelina are thin skinned, hogs are heavier but you state high energy with your setup, let the trauma be evident… If you are not getting through, single bevel might help…

Thanks for the info, just looking for options. Pass throughs are common, except with larger hogs, but arrow usually pulls out as they run off.

I have killed a lot of stuff with the Wapiti single bevel heads. They produce large wound holes and I usually get very good blood trails. I don’t take close up photos of wound channels on critters I have shot.

Thanks, John. That is what I presumed. Hearing significant input to the contrary. I wonder it those reports are from lower poundage bows?

Thanks

There most be more folks with input on these heads.

Wudstix · « **Reply #16 on:** December 04, 2023, 01:48:40 PM »

I'm wondering how these folks stay in business if no one is having success with these heads???

Have a handful of Abowyer heads coming my way, hope to have some pics of my own.

When Larry had the company. I set out to kill an animal with his broadhead I shot a hog in Choutta. ... we had to go back the next day to find it in a creek I wa very familiar with ... I'm not sure why I didn't take any entrance or exit pics.

Gotta love those MOAB's. Liver hit hogs can go for longer than you'd think.
