Hammers......The Terrible Tulips
« on: February 14, 2009, 03:52:00 PM »
Jeff was kind enough to send me a few of his "Hammers" to give a go, if you will.  I got the 200 grain screw-in models and took them for a walk today.

The biggest assets, other than the variable weights available, is the design....packs a whallop and doesn't snake under the grass or leaves.  I shot them into dirt, stumps, trees and rocky ground, and didn't harm them at all. I really liked the idea of just shooting them in the pasture field and not worrying about losing them in the grass and sod.  Here's some photos of my little outing.

I used them on some 2113 aluminum arrows, and my 52#  Shakespeare RH 400 from 1959.  I got perfect flight with them, and flight shooting them noticed a difference of about twenty yards between the Hammers and 200 grain field points. Obviously the broad end will not be as aerodynamic.  

I probably shot about fifty or sixty shots through the woods and around the fields below my house.   I have to say I like them better than others I have tried to date...mainly because of the broad end and weight variation.  I think anyone who loves to stump shoot will enjoy having a few of these in the quiver.

Here's why I call them the Terrible Tulips...looks like some black poseys 8^).

Thanks for the review George, good looking heads. I'm thinking Black Talons is a nice name   :D  Considering we are naming them ourselves. I will have to give them a try, they look great!!   :thumbsup:  

Where are we to buy them???

George

Thanks for taking us along, I just got some hammers in different weights and plan on getting a few more.  I have not had a chance to try them yet and am glad to know I have some fun waiting for me when I do.  I hate looking for arrows!

No fair, George.
You are gonna walk out the door one day and see my tent in the side yard.

The glue on version is in the works.  I've seen some don't know when they will be for sale, but soon.  Can't wait to get some in hand myself to mount up to some woodies.  Great designed head, Jeff really out done himself there.  Works awsome!! dino

I got 6 of the 145gr screw in points last week. I love em.

I find that the Judo's grab the grass a little bit better but the wide array of point weights, and the fact that you can buy a 3 pack for the price of one Judo make it hands down better!
