I'm looking for input on tusker Concorde single bevel heads from folks that have put some big game down with them.

Stone,
 In 2010 I killed an average sized bear with the Concorde SB out of a 54# LB, 625 gr. arrow. From a treestand and slightly quartering, got a pass through and shattered the off side upper leg bone. Find they're easy to sharpen and fly well out of my set up. Good BH, IMO, and easy on the wallet compared to others.
                       Best regards,
                             Todd

jim, i've got a bunch of double bevel 190 concordes that i've flight tested but haven't had the gumption to hunt with, yet.  they're quite tuff and took a knocking about when roving into dirt mounds.  they're the thickest steel of all the tuskers, really strong and a good 3:1 ratio.  it didn't take long for a kme to put a shaving edge on a few of them, too.  i've got mine stuck on hildebrand stika spruce shafts.  i got mine from tim @ braveheart, and the price tag is almost dirt cheap.

not last season, but one before I shot a doe, than an hour later, a buck with 150 Concordes (weighted to 175)that were KME single beveled.

Dang critters had a good bit of blood shot on them, both pass thrus... looked more like damage done with my 7mm ballistic tips.

I was impressed.

Last year I didn't get to use them, but went to same head with a total weight of 200 gr.

I shot a doe this year with a Tusker concorde in 160 gr.  10 yd shot, hit too far back but penetrated liver and paunch.  I saw the deer run 60 yds, slow, and turn.  1.5 hours later I walked to where last seen and the deer was curled up like a dog, dead.  Deer was stiff already.  I took the tusker and a few strops on a piece of leather and it was shaving sharp again.  I like

both of these fell to a 125gr SB concorde on a 125 adapter. 54# recurve. the goat was front on at 10m. the head came out the kyber pass. the boar was broadside at 15m. pass through and now the arrow lives in the swamp.

James, is this the one? I shot 2 deer last year and one so far this year with the same arrow and BH. I only had to do a mild touch up to keep them sharp. One of the does I shot through the shoulder into the heart. It almost took her leg off.

Shot this buck with a 190 concorde w/75gr insert... clean in and out... great blood trail... Still sharp enough to shoot at another deer if I needed to...
