300 extreme test run

[MikeW]

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

From the pic KWB posted it looks to be 7/8" to me.

[L82HUNT]

Looks legal to me.  But if your still worried they are ok in Missouri send them to me.  I'll trade you straight up for some Thunderheads I'm sure ther legal.

Thanks Dave for clearing up the Alberta question.The 300Xtremes fly perfectly from my 53# Predator.Awesome head.

Mikew for a 2 blade it's 7/8 for 3 blades or more it's diameter of all the blades.

Fish and Game usually uses a 7/8 diameter washer to see if the head will go though the hole.

1 1/32 will not go through a 7/8 hole

Did you say 8" feathers    

I've been working on 2x3" feathers with a 300 broadhead, so far fly great.
 

[bow loving man]

do they come presharpened or do you have to sharpen them before using them?  Thanks, BLM

[Kingwouldbe]

They come presharpened, and are easy to sharpen after you kill something with them.

Thanks King...

4 feathers - 7/16 X 3,8" , got them from Herbs archery , i think sells them as 4" but i do measure ( bad habit - tool maker )

In regards to sharpen this head, it is important to keep edges flat.This would help anybody who has problems with sharpening. Please use a flat DMT 600 grit diamond sharpner ( colour code is RED ) slide head gently away from you with point towards you, about 20 times each side.Do not use any presure and you will get a very nice edge. The DMT " stone" will last very long and is better than a file which needs more skill- enjoy.

Tiur -- That's the same as what we down south of the Canada/US border describe a 3.8" (three and eight-tenths inches)or round off to 4" as you state. The sharpening instructions are correct also. Just make sure and turn the head one third turn after each stroke. Appropriate files, stones and/or brands of diamond sharpeners besides DMT also work well. The DMT works great and is easy to describe the proper grit using the red color.

King, what's the deal with the two feathers?  How's the flight?  Is there an upper limit on broadhead weight?  Does arrow length affect flight?  Is feather length or height an issue?  How does it affect shelf clearance, fishtailing, oscillating, and paradox?  As you can see I'm very interested in this new development.  Is it a new development?

First you must have a well tuned arrow to start with.

I was reading, how with EFOC you don't need a lot of guidance in the back of the arrow, so, I thought lets see.

I took a 29" arrow footed with 1716 shaft 2" 129gn steel insert in a 190gn El Grande, total 650gn

I draw 60lb@28 1/2, shoots great, I shot out to 50 yards and it hits high every time.

So, there is defiantly less drag down range, my main reason for trying was  clearance and quietness.

I want to do more testing, it sounds like it would never work, it's only 6" of total feather with a 300grain broadhead on the front.

[TradOnly]

I'm shooting 2" Rayzr's with a total of 6" now.  What do you think would happen if I used two Rayzr's?

[Kingwouldbe]

Are you shooting of the shelf or an elevated rest.

4" Wow!! with 2 rayzr vanes

I shoot off the shelf and I thought 2 vane would be great, if I rotate them to never hit the shelf, it would work and be water proof.

where off topic but who cares    

[TradOnly]

Shelf

[peter c iacavazzi]

$26.00 per head? Wow. Is that the correct price?

[Guru]

Yessir buddy!!

[Adirondack Bowman]

Is that alot or a little?

[Chris Surtees]

Compared to what some of us are putting out in bows, arrows, clothing, accessories, gas, hunts, and other misc hunting stuff the $26 is nothing IMO.

In saying that there is nothing wrong with all the other broadheads that have taken thousands of animals either. It is all just a matter of personal choice.

They will be on the business end of my arrows this year.
