Should I hunt with them?
« on: May 21, 2010, 03:39:00 PM »
Just wondering if I should keep them in the package or if I should hunt with them?  Any collector value or have they been in there long enough?

Anyone know what they weigh?

Absolutely, that's what they were made for! Just my thoughts but, I would like to think ole Papa Bear would want you to go out there and use his product to make meat.    :thumbsup:

I've got some that are 125gr. So, maybe in that ball park.

An arrow, as much as it looks like art, was made to shoot.

I hunt with the old green, glue on heads. No reason you can't hunt with these. If I'm not mistaken,the screw in insert on these heads cannot be taken out. It is factory installed to stay put. Collector value would be in the complete package. Do not open if your looking to sell to a collector. Don't expect to pay for college with the proceeds. There were millions made.

Hunt with them! I use them all the time, most of the screw in heads are 145 grain give or take 2 or 3 grains.
They do a great job at what they were designed for use them!

There is always some pride in owning an original piece of equipment.  Especially still in the package.  You may want to hold on to them for your own pleasure.  Bring them out from time to time to impress the neighbor kids. They are not worth a lot, too many made.  But they are still a great head and will do the job well should you want to use them. Your choice.

Bear bows and razorheads were born to HUNT.

I think it is time to take them for a walk…I’m going turkey hunting this weekend and I think I’m going to break the KME out tonight and sharpen  a few up and hopefully send one very well placed shot down range!
Beware Thunder Chickens…some old Bear heads are coming your way this weekend!

I recently bought an unopened Package on the Yellow card, I also bought an open package and some loose ones, the unopened package will be the last to hunt, but they will hunt.
