The differance in the steel between the 200 Kodiak and 160 Kodiak is 5 thousands of an inch.Since these broadheads are made of two equal halves the thickness differance is doubled.

Yeah I'll probably get 160 s in grizz and kodiak to check em out. It's a good weight for my setups

If the Kodiak 160 is the same as the El Grande 160 I think it's the perfect wt. and size.  With all the different adapters, etc. I've set up arrows with up front weight from about 200 grs. up to 395 grs.  In two seasons of broadhead league shooting into sand pits all summer I've only managed to break ONE.  If you offer it, the 160 Kodiak is the one I want.

Bill, could I get some 1 1/2 " In 255.6 grains? LOL.

 By the way, I shot the ilf you sent to John. Very Impressive. May have to have one. Don

Can I prepay some for some 160 Kodiaks so I don't miss out on this next small batch?

Ditto what Pat B asked. I'd like to try a pack of each in 160gr.

Agree use the standard size 160's and love them, I believe they are tougher then the larger 160's.

I'd be glad to order some 160s.  I ordered some 200s.  I like to start out my shafts at full length with something around 145, then work my way up in weight as I break shafts shorter and shorter.  Makes an order of shafts last a long time.

Kodiak is the new name for the ElGrande.

While the 160 Kodiak is a bit thinner metal than the 200 Kodiak or 160 Grizzly, it is still heavier than most heads and plenty tough.  It's gonna take some serious effort to mess one up IMO.

11/32 adaptor for all the Grizzly line.

Rick has it right. The Kodiak name replaced the El Grande name.Its the same head just a different name.


I had not really thought about taking preorders for these 160 grain Kodiak's. Although it may let me get a handle on their popularity a little quicker.Then if I feel it is necessary I could punch out some more with the batch that we are running next week.

Lets do it. If you want to preorder your broadheads then contact me and we will take your order.No phone calls until tomarrow.If you preorder you will also have to prepay.
Grizzly 6 pack is $32.95
Kodiak  6 pack is $34.95
$5.25  shipping will cover up to 10 packs.
***This batch of broadheads will not be ready until early April

If I just bought 6 - 160 grizzly, Can I return them to Zipper for the Kodiak 160 with the 1 1/4 inch cut or do I have to wait for 3 Rivers to get them in.  My new ones are in the Zipper packages.
