Aboyer broadheads

I got a few single bevel broadheads from A&H the other day.
These have the nicest grind imaginable, very sharp right out of the package. Perfect round, machined ferels. The steel takes a keen edge, I'm talking hair popping sharp !!
Excellent quailty broadheads for anyone wanting to get into single bevel heads. They have several different styles to choose from too.
Can't wait to hunt them..

I'm a fan for sure, shot a few deer with them this year and they preformed great, you can put a scary sharp edge on them

i got 6 x 135 gr grain myself. I mounted them on some POC's. I put them on my BH run out guide. Man they mount accurately. I got them to zero run out easier than any i have mounted before. I spent a little time make sure the shafts were straight.
I shot them at 30 yds from a 45# target bow at 30 yds field face. fly like they were on a wired.

Boone, what kind did you use? Are you hunting those little Zone 2 deer or those Giant Zone 3 deer?

I am using the 135gr Abowyer boneheads with 75gr steel adapters they are top notch broadheads. The broadhead in the picture had killed two wild hogs this year and a few evenings ago I sent it into a third hog and thought I had lost the arrow/broadhead this time around. The hog took off with arrow sticking out both sides and broke the broadhead side off which I didn't find that evening. Today while hikeing down the same trail I looked down and there it was! This must be my lucky broadhead I need to save this one till turkey season opens is April.

Has anyone tried the 175 gr. BROWN BEAR Aboyer head? It looks like a reasonably priced,lighter, alternative to the Ashby 315 gr head. The profile should penetrate like crazy.
Also, has anyone destroyed any Aboyer broadheads on heavy bone impacts?

I was going to order some of the Brown Bear model heads myself they look like they would penetrate a Rhino. I am shooting under 50lbs at 27" draw and the bonehead model/carbon arrow has been blowing through wild pigs no issues and has alittle bigger cut so I deside to stick with them for now. I hit the far side shoulder on one hog and the broadhead showed no damage but the shoulder did.

Are these better heads than the Grizzly? I have been using the 160 Grizzly's and really like them.

The 160 Grizzly is a classic. In my mind the advantages are the Aboyer is ground to the correct angle to begin with, and comes scary sharp out of the package.
I got a dozen of the Brown bears for Hogs and hopefully we'll get drawn for an an Elk hunt in the fall.

Thanks, Bjorn. The Brown Bear is the one I had my eye on as well. The Grizz 160 couldn't have performed any better on my elk last year. We are fortunate to have so many fine heads to choose from.

An Abowyer fan here, too. Just bought the 135 grain bonehead, tuned up all cutting edges but as stated real sharp. Although I have been a Grizzly fan and will continue to be so, these Boneheads sharpen easier and the Tanto point is already there.

$40 bucks for 3 Abowyer heads is a
bargain
no matter what other broadhead you might compare them to!

Another quailty the Aboyer heads have, they are NOT laminated like many other heads. Now most of the laminated heads have performed admirably over the years, surely the single blade head of the Aboyer eliminates a weak point..
Like Ron, I think the Aboyers are the best bargin out there in single edge broadheads. The quailty is second to none and the price is attractive compared to the others..

I just purchased (2) packs of the 135gr. Boneheads and they arrived last Friday. They are high quality and so far, worth the money in my opinion...plus, they are made in Michigan!
I'm anxious to use them this season on numerous species.

The life time warranty on these does it cover hitting rocks and bending the blades?
