If I remember right Dr. Ashby tested two different hardness Grizzlies originally. A 44 and an over 50. what is the hardness of these new ones. I may need to get a KME system. Also, if my memory serves me, his original was test one using a modified 190 grain head, 7/8", were any full width heads ever tested. I have always been a little confused by this since the ole Deadhead tested almost as well. I am not so sure that the last newer Grizzlies we got, need to be narrower to penetrate. My wife got a pass through with a 38 pound bow and a super blood trail. I should have taken pictures, but I had no camera. After two seasons of resharpening they are 1&1/16" wide. The hole was bigger than the width of the head, I kind of like the narrower profile for short arrows and light bows.

Are they or will they be teflon coated?

I'd like to see one 1 1/16" wide if possible.

Ref pre sharpened;  A great idea, but keep the basic head available for those of us who prefer economy over conveniance.

We will have Grizzly broadheads at Kalamazoo. As soon as the show is over we will get the heads we have left to the dealers.

I got some of the new Kodiak’s from 3rivers in the mail yesterday.  Took them out of the pack and gave them a good "look over" .... They looked like death waiting to happen!!!  :thumbsup:  

I just mounted one on an adaptor last night. She was spinning tight on the first try.  During lunch I put the Kodiak on a 2219 and let her fly a few times....

Now, I have heard people say that this bh and that bh fly better then my fieldpoints.  I never really put too much faith into that comment.  I do now!!!  They are the best flying head I have ever shot without a doubt.  I would even venture to say that they fly better then my fieldpoints  :notworthy:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:

Are the dimensions of the Kodiak 160 vs 200 grain really the same?   They are listed as such on a mail order website.   I do not see how they can be the same dimensions but 40 grain difference in weight?

The Kodiak 200 and the Kodiak 160 are the same demensions. The Grizzly 160 is smaller than the Kodiak 160.
The weight difference is from different thicknesses of the steel used.

owlbait check out three rivers and kustom king websites I believe they both have them available. Bill is there a site for the heads yet or will you include them on the zipper site only? What are your  plans there?

Thanks Ron. I found the dimensions on the 3Rivers site. I think I am going to order a pack of the 160 Kodiak. Just a bit longer and wider.

I just took another batch of broadheads (3000)to be brazed on tuesday. There are 500 Kodiak 160's in that batch. Just a small run of Kokiak 160's to see how much intrest there really is in that weight. The rest of the 3000 are 200 grain Kodiaks and 160 grain Grizzly. We are running the rest of the Grizzly weights next week. These heads should be ready by the end of March or early April.

The Grizzly website (grizzlybroadheads.com) will be up after we have some heads in stock. There will also be links from the Zipper site. There is still alot of work to do on the Grizzly site. Needless to say the website is not the main priority right now.

Kustom King,3 Rivers, Emerald Archery,Lost Nation and The Footed Shaft have SOME Grizzly heads now.I have a few packs also but only 130 grain and 120 grian.

I just went to the 3 Rivers website and they are out of the Kodiak 160's...Bill, anyone else have them yet?
Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

No one has had any Kodiak 160's.The short first run did not have any Kodiak 160's.I was under the impression that the Kodiak 160’s were not very popular. They were discontinued.  We have had enough people ask about them that we decided to do a limited run and test the waters ourselves.  If they do prove to be a popular option then we will keep them. If not then they will go away.

Back when they were the el grande 150 or 160 I liked the bigger size but they were enough lighter metal that I didn't like the feel of them. Just my opinion. I ended up with the smaller 160 s and love them.  Just adding to the conversation.
