Pearson Dead Heads

they would whistle a bit in strong cross winds and also if they were mounted crooked.  Chuck Bledsoe, long time Bear dealer, said "you bet they whistle, they whistle right through".

the deer I shot with them never complained about whistling, of course it was the last thing they heard!

[bowmofo]

I haven't noticed any noise at all! I have noticed they fly great

Well said Randy.

When I used them  Exclusively  in the 70s  I used to take a small rat-tail file and SLIGHTLY round off the edges on the inside of the cut-outs    it stopped the "whistling "  whistling was very faint any way and never bothered me  just did it as a precaution .
   Still have a few I shoot. Use them exclusively on Turkey now .

I have a few and they whistle a bit. I use the vaseline in the vent trick. Also they have a helical twist in the blades so having a look alike will not cut it unless they also have that feature.

[bowmofo]

I haven't seen the helical twist in the blades.

[grizz]

That twist is new to me, can you post a picture?

[Paul/KS]

I think the twisted broadheads were a different brand that had a similar look? Saw a couple up at Mike Horton's in his collection.

I think I have a couple deadheads in one of my stuff boxes...will have to take a look.

[deaddoc4444]

They were Browning's

Browning  Serpentines   ( SOrry forgot the name for a minute )

I have shot deadheads for years, and have seen the price go from $2-3 dollars each to prices that scare you.They are my broadhead of choice  for deer and elk. As was stated earlier pass thru's are the norm. I think some people think they are worth a lot more than they are. At ETAR this year saw some on blanket trade for $25.00 each. Too rich for me!!! I know the production was stopped about 1971, but give us users a break there were too many made to command a $25.00 price for one

bigbadjon;
I think you are bit confused.

[bigbadjon]

Sorry I was gone a few days. I am not confused. The ones I have are mounted to the ferrule and the have a bend on each blade giving them a helical look. Not nearly like a serepentine but the blades do have an opposing offset mount for each side of the blade. Matbe I am not explaining it clearly though, I will post a picture when i get home.

Cool, sounds very interesting. show us the pics. Ever shot anything with them?

[bigbadjon]

I shot a palmetto on opening day last weekend.
