Phoenix Broadheads this year! >>------->

[snag]

These will be in my quiver as I go in search of the mighty wapiti. Made from one piece of tool grade steel, single bevel, and that great 3:1 dimension, plus teflon coated, these beauties fly like lazer beams. I made up some 80#-85#'s and put the 150gr glue-on "Phoenix" heads on them. First arrow out of the 54#@28" Blacktail X'd the bullseye without a wobble in flight. Yep, Stan you make a great broadhead. I had no problems putting an edge on these also. Very easy. Did an unscientific test in the foam broadhead target. These heads did penetrate a couple of inches deeper than the 2 blade I had used last year.
Thanks Stan and Red Feather Archery!

You won't be dissapointed David! Unless you don't draw     I put one of those babies through a moose last year and it didn't even slow down, a great head. And Stan's not too bad either  

[magnus]

Those look deadly for sure. How do you like those Talons? Theyre my favorite.

[KentuckyTJ]

Nice lookin' erras!

[Over&Under]

I may have to try some of those...Great looking setup ya got there!

[kwc]

those look great good luck

[snag]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed Steadman! If not I'll have to introduce one of these little darlings to an Oregon bull/buck.

[Spectre]

I, too, covet the RFA heads....

[wtpops]

Do they make a screw in modle in 150 or 175? i like the idea of a single bevel 3 blade but i just dont shoot wood. Humm i guess some adaptors could work.

[wtpops]

Well did some surching and found some glue-in adapters that would work and allow me to keep the same total point weight. I see some testing in my future.

[sawtoothscream]

i have always liked the look and design of those.  just dont know how well they would work with my draw length.

[ssoden]

Wish they made them in left bevel ... all my other single bevels are left.

[snag]

Ssoden, just fletch up a 1/2 doz RW helical and put some Phoenix on them and life is goooood! haha

Wtpops, they have 100gr screw-in heads that look great. Just do the 50gr adaptors and then screw-in the 100gr heads and you've got it!

Good looking broadheads. They remind me of a Wensel Woodsman. One question. How tough is the tip? In other words, do the tips curl if they hit something solid like bone?

[varmint101]

VPA produces the head, Stan designed it from what I understand.  

I haven't killed a critter with mine yet, but I have missed (LOL) and the tip hasn't curled.

They're a great head and are super easy to sharpen.  Pretty cool how they rotate in a target and they really penetrate well.  Personally I wouldn't hesitate to use it out of a lighter setup.  I think they next ones I'll get will be 125gr screw-in.

[snag]

Can't answer that Night Wing. I haven't put them to the test against bone. But I can tell you that the way they are designed they are "spined" along the middle with solid metal. The blades themselves are thick. I think it would take more than a bone to curl these. But once again no scientific testing done on my part. As Steadman said he had no problem with killing a moose.

[steadman]

They are made by the folks who make the VPA broadheads as well. A very well built head  

[StanM]

Hey David, great looking arrows!  I betcha I'll be shooting some that look a lot like those this year too  

Sawtooth, I'll be chasing deer this year with these same heads from a bow that is similar to what you have listed in your byline, a 60" 45# Super Kodiak, or if I'm up to it a 50#er in the same model.  I'll let you know how I make out.  With any luck I may get my second spring turkey with one as well.  I'm not worried about broadhead performance, but operator error could play a part in my success!

As was mentioned, the heads are machined by Jeff at VPA.  Had a chance to meet Jeff at the ATA show in January and he's one of the best guys in the business!

[americanhunter7]

I haven't tried the Phoenix heads but hear nothing but great thing about them. I'm just not comfortable shooting a 3 blade out of my set up. However.......

Hey Stan!        when you gonna get them two bladed demons on the market???        I vaguely remember something about a new two blade that RFA was gonna make, or was I dreaming? Just curious, and by the way I LOVE my Talons! Gonna try and get me a few more before April is over. Thanks RFA!

[Elkchaser]

Snag,
Nice looking arrows. I'll take 3 please.        I'm shooting 51#, so the 80-85# may work, but I might need to back down to 75-80#.
Thanks,
Ron
