BTW...I forgot to ask....is there a 'bump stop' inside the ferrule?...looks like there a 'ring' down near where the adapter would bottom out.

seems from Gurus pics that the new elites are significantly smalle in width. Are they 1 inch wide at the widest point or less?

I love the fact of a one solid piece head like this, but to Terry's point, wish they made one a little bigger both in weight and size.

Does anyone know if thats in the works? With my luck I would thorw the money down for some and come to find out that larger versions will be available in the near future.

As far as the collars are concerned are those for 5/16 shafts only? Anything like this available for AD Trad shafts?

Hey dino, have you tried the collars on a Heritage 90? Sure would be nice if one fit the 90's as i've driven the inserts into more than a couple!

Thanks...Ken

I prefer "hissing" arrows.  They sound just like the ones Howard Hill shot the bad guys with in The Adventures of Robin Hood:^)

Yeah Gary...I've got some made up to shoot that 'Buzzzzzz' when I shoot for kids groups or if I'm in camp with some compounders.  Shooting cans with buzzin arrows gets there attention...specially when its after dark.     :eek:

Been arguing in my mind between my snuffers and a two blade this year for my elk...well I think this fits the bill.

3 blades, narrower, a bit smaller yet durable.  perfect.  Thanks for all the pics guys!

Elk probably not a problem with the elites....I killed a 2000# Bison with the original woodsman.

Denny Sturgis & 3R Shooter..... thanks for posting and sharing your feedback. I really like this head. And can't wait to try them out!
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

Terry,
That 'bump stop' at the bottom of the ferrule was no intented for that.  I measured it at 1.0455 and all of the inserts that we have seat tightly before they reach that depth.  If anyone finds anything differently let us know.  But that bottom of the ferrule is were the weight is fine tuned in the machining process.

Ken,
No plans on collars for the Heritage 90s right now.  I agree that they would be nice but that particular size would have to become more popular to support making more parts for them.  When they do catch on more there is a good chance they will be made.  dino

never mind, just went to the web site and checked out the rest of them.  I think one of these may be on my arrows this year.  Looks awesome!  The only thing I could wish for would be more weight choices, but thus far, looks like a great design!  Congrats on the new heads.

I hope I didn't come across as negative on the new BH....I just was surprised that it was smaller. It's a great BH, and one I WILL use! Well once I use up the 20 or so WW I have now....

well done fellas and I can't wait to see what else you come up with....hopefully a 160 version or how about a 250gr about an 1 1/2" wide    :clapper:

Well I just ordered 2 packs of the glue ons along with some other stuff I been needing - ifin yall don't hear from me for awhile it is becasue my wife has banned me from the puter! and the card, and the telephone, and the catalogs.

There has to be a cure for this cotton-pickin addiction!

I'll be in my foxhole,

J-dog the cure is to hit the lottery then no cash worries. lol

I was getting real excited over these until I found out they have a smaller cutting diameter, bummer.

Now increase the diameter as much as you can keeping close to 3:1 while getting 200-225 gr screw in, awesome one piece head. It seems a 200 gr head is a popular choice for those wanting higher foc.

Yeah, they are smaller but I think these 115 pound WTs won't mind, now if I ever get a chance a ta NC bear he might have something to say  :help:  !

I really hope they come out with more variety soon!!!!
