300 extreme test run

[Bob Morrison]

size has to do with what size hole would the BH fall though. 1 1/32", Length is what King has shown.

[Bob Morrison]

I just wanted to add Kustom King also is also  carrying the 300 Xtreem and the 300 fiedpoints I don't think they are on the online catalog yet, but they have them.
In January we will have the 1st looks at the small game Stomper in 300 grains, Yes I know you don't need 300 grains to take a rabbit, But if your shooting ground hog, rabbits, leaves with 300 gr. You should not have a problem shooting big stuff with the serious Xtreem.

[Al Kidner]

Thanks for that info Bob as I was wondering what I'd do when I'm out hunting as I like to stump shoot to keep my eye in whilst on the stalk. I was hammering my brain how to get a judo up to 300 grains ...lol.

Here's my opinion: You get what you pay for! George, my opinion is that these are the best broadheads out there. If all you want is Grizzly's and you love em and they work for you great. But I'm going to pay twice as much for these babys and I think there twice as good. Just my opinion. The you get what you pay for term is generally used to define top end products, I think it suits the 300xtreme to a T. Nobody's knocking the other broadheads.

It really looks great, and this is from a big 3bl. fan. I love my Snuffer and WW, but I can def. see a place for these with big boar hogs,and big,tough thick skinned critters.

How are the tips holding up now? Last year in TX Bob Walker shot through a doe wt like butter,but the arrow hit a rock after passing through and the tip needed a lot of work to be shootable again....

Like someone said earlier,in the long run,even at the price of these,it's pretty cheap....

[Kingwouldbe]

Guru, this is the 300Xtreme after it went through the hog, as you can see mostly dirt, which is  rare here, mostly rock with a little dirt.
 

As I examen this head, I like the 3 sided fluting it has all the way to the front, it looks like it can take a lot of punishment and keep on going.

One of the things I don't like about 3blades is the reaction the animal does after the hit, my experience is they go into flight mode right away, until there along way off, then settle down.

With this 1-1/32 dia. this hog just walked off, I don't think he knew he was hit, and I like that.

The arrow blew through him so fast there was minimal reaction from him.

I have found out from some of the larger 3 blades, it has to push to much tissue to get through, I also think the vents grab tissue, and causes a much greater response from the animal.

[Bob Morrison]

The head Bob Walker had last year was one of the proto types, I'm pretty sure it was before the Tano point.

[beachbowhunter]

KWB, very interesting observations/analyis of the effect of a 3 blade on game. Somthing to think about for sure.

[tradtusker]

what i like about this head is it doesn't have the vents like the WW and snuffers, prob aids penetration and nice and easy to clean, and helps eliminate the whistling you get with the vented heads.

[Terry Green]

Thanks for sharing.

Bob Morrison ,

Just curious. I shoot a 42 pound recurve with aluminum arrows and my total arrow weight is 550 grains with a 150 grain screw-in Wensel Woodsman broadhead at the business end of the arrow. This gives me 13 grains per pound. My bow at 42 pounds is too light to shoot these 300 grain broadheads since this would give me a 700 grain arrow. Do you have any plans for a 150 grain Extreme broadhead? I like the idea of no vents and wished my WW broadhead had no vents.

[Gun]

Too bad they aren't 1/8" wider. Not legal here in Alberta. I've always liked a 3-blade. They look like the ultimate. A little too pricy for me.

[Danny Rowan]

I have 7 of these heads and I really like them. I hope to take a Guam hog soon with one. I need a good hole for tracking in the thick jungle. I have been using some old Mohawk MagI 4 blades and they do a number on hogs but I like the weight of the 300xtreme. They are also going to Africa with me in June 2010 so we shall see how they do on Kudu,Bushbuck,Eland,Nyalla and Waterbuck if I am lucky enough to take all of them. 29 1/2" AD Trad Heavys and Carbon Tech Rhinos for my arrows.

Brooks Johnson said that the DB 360 was made for the person who can afford to pay $400 for a blind.  I see the same thing happening with the 300 Xtreem and the Ashby broadheads.  I understand the reasoning behind it but I can't afford to support it.  I would love to have this broadhead, albeit a little lighter in weight, but I just can't justify paying for 1 broadhead what I can pay for 6 time-tested and hunt-proven broadheads.  I just wish that whenever something new and great is introduced to the world it isn't priced for a small percentage.  It just doesn't sound like good marketing.  I realize I can't get everything at Wally World but come on, I would like to have a taste, too.

I wouldn't think he is charging too far above what he makes a slight profit on.  And giving away something below cost isn't good business, either.  With the R&D, manufacturing, and limited market,  I'm sure it's hard to get the cost down.  Economy of scale, in the sense of limited scale.  Now, if all of us on Tradgang would buy 6, we would probably see a substantial reduction in cost.    :D  
I personally would like to see  Morrison bows at a third the price, but if they were, would they still be Morrison bows?  
Not meaning that cost makes an item better, but that time and materials and customer service do, and that is what you pay for.

[TradOnly]

It was never my intention to say that anything is too expensive.  If you really think about it nothing is really too expensive.  It all depends on how much a person is willing and able to spend.  I could buy a Bentley; I just wouldn't be able to buy anything else.  I could buy one 300 Xtreem or a 6-pack of Woodsman's.  I simply wish I, myself, could justify the purchase.  Example:  I want to hunt moose.  It is much more cost effective to hunt moose in Vermont than in Canada.

[Adirondack Bowman]

Oh no, I was plannig on using them on a        Spring bear hunt in Albert  .   Gun,are you sure they're illegal in Alberta?

[tiur]

What is the minimum legal dia.on broadheads in Alberta? - this head is 1 1/32 dia.


Morrison 14" ILF 56" 54lbs
300 xtreem / 650grain
Oh so smooth, worth every penny.

Tiur, That's some "BAD" medicine you got right there

This is from there website in Alberta, they are legal in Alberta

Persons hunting big game must use an authorized bow and an authorized arrow. An authorized bow is one that is held, drawn and released by muscular power and has a draw weight of not less than 18 kg (40 lb.). This is the number of kilograms (pounds) required to draw an arrow of 71 cm (28 in.) to its head. An authorized arrow is one that is not less than 61 cm (24 in.) in length that has a tip that bears a head that is not intentionally designed to resist being withdrawn after it has penetrated an object. Furthermore, it must either have a solid, sharp cutting head of at least 7/8 inch in width, or a head that, when the arrow impacts, opens to present sharp cutting edges at least 7/8 inch in width.
