Broadhead question??
«

Was looking through some old broadheads a friend had given me with the idea of making some squirrel arrows. (I don't like blunts for squirrel, seen too many walk away after a hit.)
These 2 are what I think I may use. The one made me wonder if it was intended for small game or?? The none pointed one says Hills Hornet on it and seems it would not be good for deer or anything but small game. The other(dark one) just has an H stamped in the steel.
Anyone know of the original purpose of these?

The green seams to be a Howard hill small game BH, the other one looks like a snuffer, but could be a hill BH looking at the pin holes. I may be wrong.

Both of these are 60's vintage broadheads, a Hills Hornet and a Hi Precision. This model Hornet was designed for small game, but they were mostly made with a regular point and used for big game. Good heads, well respected and used in their day. Neither had any connection to Howard Hill.

The broadheads shown were made in the 1950. The High percision was made in Iowa by the High Percision company and was intended for hunting large game and was a quality head. The Hills Hornet was made by Ralph Hill in Wisconsin in also the 1950's and is a target point intended for use in the NFAA animal round. The dubbed point and rounded shoulders reduced penetration in hay bales and allowed for easy removal. It should make a great squirrel head.
