My bad, we have the left bevel glue on 190's in stock and I failed to update the web page.

I've never met a Tusker I didn't like, but I'd have to say my favorites are the Aztec and Concorde, although the Delta is on a bunch of my arrows as well.

A lot of the double bevel Tuskers come with needle points, for those that prefer that, but I'd personally recommend you modify those to a small tanto tip to get the most out of your heads.

Entertaining video.  Looks like a fun way to spend and afternoon when nothing is in season.

I've purchased both the Concorde and the Aztec Glue on. The first dozen ordered were directly from Australia a few years back. When I found they were available in the States, my business was forwarded to Tim. Excellent service, Fairest shipping rates in the business, a darn good company to do business with.
I'm sold on Tuskers and Braveheart Archery.
I just only posted this quote earlier and stand by it 100%.
Are the they the best 2 blade broadhead available in todays hitech market? Probably not.

George, the Aztecs are also available as a glue on and weigh in at 175 grains.  We don't have them on the site yet (working on it) but we have some in stock if you need them.  We also have glue on 125 Javelins, 100 grain Spirits (5/16") and 160 grain Deltas available if anyone is interested.  All should be on the site very soon.

Bowferd, thank you for your support.  We strive to do folks right and comments like yours help us know we're on track.   :jumper:

I should add, it was also mentioned older Tuskers did not have a grind.  Nowadays they do have a grind, in fact the grind is much better than it originally was when introduced.  Just so there's no confusion though, Tuskers are definitely "sharpen yourself" heads as most "trad" heads are.

kevgsp, I also took a doe this last fall with a wicked sharp Delta, she made it about 50 yards.   :thumbsup:   Simply good, no nonsense heads.

Great video!  These look like really nice broadheads.

I have been using Tuskers for several years now since I first reviewed them. For the guy that isn't afraid to sharpen them they are as tough as you can find. I have not ruined one yet, and every year there is always a Tusker in my quiver.
 Often I am using some expensive heads, that I realy like a lot, and don't want to shoot a ruffy or rabbit with because of the dirt, gravel, or high probability of loosing a costly broadhead. Tuskers are great for this. I shot my first Elk with an Aztec, and a 125 gr steel adapter. It burried to the hilt in a neck bone, and came out in perfect shape. They have accounted for several coyotes, birds and rabbits, and deer. I don't have any reservations saying that the Tusker is a tough, easy to sharpen, and dependable broadhead. For the wood arrows on self bows I like the smaller Spirit and Javelina on 5/16 Ramin shafts, and for the other bows I like an Aztec with a 100 or 125 steel adapter. My Flu Flu arrows always have an Aztec and a steel adapter. These see lots of shots hitting the dirt and have always been usable after I dig them out.
 They  stand up to abuse, fly great, sharpen easy,hold an edge and are dependable. Top it off with very affordable.

Before they came pre gorund/sharpened, they were a super bargain, but didn't sell well. I never understood why, when we constantly read how everyone loved to sharpen their heads, and did so with such enthusiasm.
 I still think they are a bargain, for the quality and durability we get.

 Pete

The Aztec is one of my favorites if not my absolute favorite as well.

Here's an Aztec versus a boars skull, very hard bone here.

 

That head looks like it could be used again if you were so inclined.  Not bad for a broadhead that costs under $4!

i like the long, lean, penetrating looks of the concorde, that it doesn't have a needle point, and that its heavier thickness is .050" as opposed to the .035" for all the other tusker heads.

Great looking broadhead and real good value!! Braveheart is a great company and super fast service!

I just want to know which state do you think I have the best chance of drawing a bull shoulder tag?

Coaster500, as far as I know they are "over the counter" everywhere beef is eaten.  :bigsmyl:  


We actually talked about using Aussie Buff shoulders but those aren't exactly "readily available" even in Oz.    :help:  

Like Rob mentioned, the Concorde is .050 in thickness and the toughest Tusker of all, not that the others are lacking as you can see by the above pic and John's bull shoulder demonstration.

Im with Rob that concord with three to one single bevel tonto point is one smart looking head. I like the idea of a 300gr head for FOC on woodies but I use the glue on. Great looking head like the proven ones I use now, but I wounldnt hesitate to try a Tusker from the looks of it.

Slowbow I have one of the center drilling jigs I got from you. I have found using poplar shafts and adding 100gr brass with my 190 points/broadheads that I am getting 300gr up front and upped my FOC. Thanks for a great product I may have to add some of those left bevel concord glue on to my quiver this season.
