It's that Time of Year Again...Team Tippit
« on: May 21, 2011, 01:59:00 PM »
I know it's about time for the St Judes Auction...but it's also time to forge up a new style Team Tippit broadhead.  With Bear Quest just around the corner, I needed to come up with something different again.  I think this is generation 4 or 5 for tippit broadheads.  Got three in the oven tempering now.  

Here's how they all start off from a bar of 1080 high carbon steel.  Head shaped & tapered on the point & edges.  Back in the forge to be finished up.  More pictures to follow...tippit

Nice start Jeff  :thumbsup:

Could you tell me about the hammer again, I forgot where you said you got it & I'm feeling the urge to go buy one.

I forged three broadheads...two will be on my quiver along with a Glen St Charles Mikey Finn broadhead as my bear hunting bow will be a St Charles Thunderbird...Jay's re-make of Glenn's bow from the fifties.  The third one goes to Ted Fry as he was gracious enough to lend me a Mickey Finn even if it gets lost in a bear  :scared:  

After attending the Tenn Classic where everyone was doing primative arts...selfbows and flint knapping, I wanted these to look more primative.  I left the tangs off and made them more like a knapped head.  My two heads weigh in @ 300gr making Benjy's Cane arrows 750gr.  Ted's broadhead is 260gr...tippit

Great looking head Jeff! 2nd,3rd and 4th generation have worked very well for me. You must forge some serious mojo in them.

Perhaps we should start a list of all the adventures your broadheads have been on.....
Your third generation head will be going after elk this fall.

I've been looking at the Bear Quest threads for a several years.  Can't wait to actually experience that camp.  Looking forward to seeing these heads with my own eyes.  Great looking combo.
