I wish they'd make a 4.5" long by 1.5" wide version.

Joebuck, what does the blade look like after you resharpened it ? I know you have already !

joebuck · « **Reply #83 on:** August 23, 2008, 11:06:00 AM »

I ground down on coarse diamond to get nicks out , then placed 25 degree shoulder on med diamond and got back to serrated sharp in several minutes. BUT i didn't put on leather strop to get final razor razor sharp because it shoots through my black hole to easy so I want to practice more!

I mean besides the fact that you have waaaaaaay too much time on your hands....

bm22 · « **Reply #87 on:** August 23, 2008, 04:41:00 PM »

i would agree with biggie on this one.
but i would like to see after pictures to see how bad those gouges are on the broadhead after you resharpened it.

That a Woodsman will pretty much destroy the edge of a $30 broadhead?

It sure looks that way.

Heres the head resharpened. It's really neat to finally work with a head machined out of one piece of 440B stainless. This head was touched up with a medium diamond then leather stropped with 60,000 grit oxide paste. Quality is expensive. This head has got to be on any bowhunter's short list that is headed out for heavy big boned dangerous game. I certainly didn't mean to ruffle any WW fans but IMO structually speaking, i can not find a head out there that can stand up to this head. All will kill deer but this head stays together and resharpens better than any head I have touched in 30 years. I am excited for those of you who have ordered these heads. You will certainly understand what I have been talking about when i say bomb proof..........for the record again, I am not on any ProStaff, nor recieve free merchandise or money from ABS. This is my oppinion and has nothing to do with ABS.........

I agree....that indestructable broadhead is ruined except for a newly ground edge. OOPS.

By the way... here's a $3.00 Ribtek I shot into a cinder block this morning....57# longbow and 500 grain cedar. The arrow was crushed but there was no structual damage to the Ribtek. I'm betting it would also have went through a "hollow" ferrule on a Woodsman as well.

"I agree....that indestructable broadhead is ruined except for a newly ground edge. OOPS."

sorry don't understand ! broadhead looks like new to me and was "touched up" not newly ground

Ok George...thanks for the info..you can go back to Archie Bunker reruns

hogdancer · « **Reply #94 on:** August 23, 2008, 11:49:00 PM »

now that's funny !!!

Biggie Hoffman · « **Reply #95 on:** August 24, 2008, 05:08:00 AM »

Joey...is that a spot of blood on the table??

How did you put the s/s back on the edge that was mmmmissing?

If that $5 woodsman can tear the edge up like that, what will happen if it hits a legbone? I thought that was the whole idea behind this miracle of miracles.

Marty · « **Reply #96 on:** August 24, 2008, 07:38:00 AM »

Why don't you shoot one of the other prototypes with a prototype?

MikeW · « **Reply #97 on:** August 24, 2008, 07:55:00 AM »

Some folks like and can afford a Mercedes while others can only afford a used car, both get you from point A to point B. And then there are other folks who can afford a Mercedes but choose to drive a economy car anyways.

This seems to be the case here also.

joebuck · « **Reply #98 on:** August 24, 2008, 10:58:00 AM »

Heres the same head sharpened again shot out of a 58# recurve, 780 grain Superceder arrow at 8-10 yards. Head busted completely through broomstick and buried up in the black hole target about 5". head then ( not resharpened) shot through this 1 1/16" WET ( thanks Fay) treated lumber 1 x 6 plank . The 440B stainless head would still grab and shave hair after removal...I have been fortunate to kill over a handful of really big hogs over the years. This head will be devasting through a big boar shield IMO. Especially a close treestand shot where so many big hogs are lost due to poor vertical penetration. I believe this head was designed for Africa and Down Under BIg Big game but here in the states..this head will be unreal on knarly boars

Can I borrow that quarter?
