Steel Force Broadheads
« on: July 16, 2008, 03:57:00 PM »
Anybody out there using these? I would like information on what model etc. you are using them. Where are you purchasing. I noticed that Three Rivers doesn't carry them anymore and was just curious where folks were buying them. I'm not really interested in any of the serrated versions, I just assume that means more sharpening trouble when you want to touch them up.   :knothead:    

Any information appreciated! Thanks!

My wheel bow friend uses them. They are a good head. You can buy them from Cabelas. I haven't seen these heads over 125 grains if your looking for a heavier head.

I use nothing but them. I use both the glue on 125 and the screw in 125 as well. I have killed moose, caribou ,deer and turkeys with them.

I have killed close to 50 deer with them, most with the compound when I shot one but I have killed several with Trad. bows with them as well. Shawn

You guys are making me feel better - I picked up two packs of 125gr on close-out from a local shop for 15.00.  I was worried that I should have gone with Magnus heads, but I couldn't pass up the deal.  I hope I get good enough to use them this year, as I've designated them only for Trad.

I use them also. They had a bad rap of the tip rolling over but I never had any issue's with them. This spike ducked/spun back on release and I caught him in the shoulder with a 50lbs curve. The arrow exited out the lower neck on the far side. Short/quick recovery. I'll use the heads untill I can't find them any more...

I picked up a pack to try out the other day. I got the sabertooth 4 blade 125's. I was suprised on how sharpe they were, you can shave with them right out of the pack. I also liked the fact that they will resharpen the heads in the off season if you want them to.
The man who thinks he can and the man who thinks he can't are both right!!!
