Steel Force BH question

[Andy Cooper]

Does anyone have any experience with, or information about, the Steel Force 300 grain single bevel screw-in BH's?  Thanks.

[Andy Cooper]

The silence is deafening...either nobody's used these, or they're really crappy! Hmmm....

[$bowhunter$]

ive never used them im just curious what in the world you plan on hunting that needs a 300 grain bh? bout the broadheads if no response just give them a try and see what happens.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

That weight will give You high FOC. I haven't heard anything good or Bad about them..

At 300 grains they are still waiting for it to get to the deer.

I have not hunted with mine yet, but I have some and they appear to be very well made, durable and deadly. I would not hesitate to use them on any thin skinned game up to even an eland. That would include any animal in North America, including the big bears.

I'm planning on using them---if they fly,sharpen, and penetrate well---on elk, bison, water buffalo, and cape buffalo...in that order.

Your post should mention Steel Force in the title.  BH could mean brace height.  You'd get more response.

Is 300 grs a lot???  I'm shooting 50 lbs and a 160 Snuffer with a 125 gr adapter.  300 gr field points fly great.

Thanks, Bowmania...hadn't thought of that. Edited!

I love steelforce broadheads. I shoot the 150 grain head always get great blood trails and pass thrus. I have been using steelforce broadheads for four years now love them. Chad

When I arrived at a ranch in South Texas I had with me both steel force and magnus stingers 125 gr. The owner asked me not to hunt hogs with the steel force. He later showed me a couple of them that were badly bent. I guess I've finally reached the age where I can learn from others without doing it the hard way. I've never seen a 300 grainer, but I would imagine it's a lot stronger than the ones I have.

The standard 125 gr steelforce is an o.k. head but in no way compares to the 300 gr single bevel.

I too have seen several SteelForce broadheads blow up on contact but that was a few years ago and they were the old Sabertooth 4 bladers with the weak ferrule and thin main blade. These are probably much better...at least I hope they are.

[Sharpster]

This is the Steelforce single bevel that Andy's asking about. Actually it's a vented prototype. The new production heads look the same but are no longer vented. The blade is .080 thick and with the steel ferrule installed they are close to 300 grains. I have two of these in my quiver at all times and they are the first I'll nock when I see a deer aproaching. These are great heads and virtually indestructable!

I'm also trying to find out the production status of these heads. Steel Force doesn't show them on their website.

[Spectre]

If you don't like them, you can always try the African Phathead 190 grainers---great heads.

[Andy Cooper]

That's true, Spectre, but I'm working toward an EFOC arrow for very large and dangerous game. I may have to rob the piggy bank and spring for some of the Ashby heads.      :eek:

3Rivers has em.

[Andy Cooper]

I contacted 3 Rivers and asked if the 300 grain single bevel heads were something that would be readily available, and they told me they didn't know. I also sent an email to Steel Force asking the same thing, but haven't yet rec'd a reply.

Steelforce heads are very good, killed close to 80 deer with them!! Shawn
