Hey Bill, would a one piece have to be the current glue on head + adapter or is a one piece screw in on the table?   A one piece screw-in el grande would be sweet and replace the 3 blade VPAs on my arrows next fall (to be shot outta that sweet bow you built me).  Never been a fan of mounting to adapters...too much glue, too many unnecessary variables when machined one piece heads are readily available.  Look forward to seeing what you do with the new venture and congrats again on the purchase.

Glad to hear you're going to keep the grizzlies coming Bill. Personally don't see the need to change anything with them but I'm not the one selling them either  :)  Good fortune with your venture.

Are the new Grizzlies available now?

If not! Any idea when they might be?

Bill,the best feature everyone is looking for is a scary sharp BH easy to resharp,and from what I am understanding you are set on that,you can offer the option screw in,since some guys like that,then make the El Grande and you are set.Right price,good business.Nothing more.

Hi Bill,
        I would include alot of the "graphic" photos to show the results of single bevel s type cuts to go along with Ashby report just because you still see questions regarding the report and the effect the head produces.As tastefully as you can Im sure. Pics are worth a thousand words as they say.

test kit?  We have talked about that and it may end up being an option.

twigflicker   That is a nice picture Harry.He is the man I need to be talking to when it comes time to get the history down. Do you think he would be interested in talking with me?

I know what you are saying Terry. I have had a few others request a wider head in the Big Grizz length.  For now it is not an option.  My plate runneth over.   :D   My main concern right now is to get the demand met and get a good supply of stock broadheads.  Not to mention keep my bow customers happy.  It has been an interesting fall around our shop.  

Ron's name and KME keep coming up and for good reason. Not to worry folks, Ron and I have already talked and plans are being made to bring some great sharpening options to the Grizzly line. It all just takes time and that is in short supply for all of us.

We will have links between the two sites.

Some Grizzly heads will be available around the end of the month.

To make a Grizzly a screw on head will require an adapter being glued in. These heads are made on a punch press. To make them a solid piece screw in would require the heads to be made on a CNC.

As usual Felix. You are absolutely right!  :thumbsup:  

Keep the pictures coming guys. That is what we need.

Gotcha Bill.  Wasn't sure whether you'd be keeping the process the same or move to a cnc'd head like the vpa's you were selling.  I suppose keeping it as is will enable you to keep a good price point on the grizzly's.  

I suppose I can try em with an adapter so I can give you my money   :goldtooth:

Every chance Bill but it will be next year at the earliest. We have plans for a Super Grizzly. It will be stainless with some other exta special features. Thats all I have to say about that.

We will have some for Kalamazoo.  :thumbsup:

Thanks for the pictures Ryan!

I know there are alot more pictures of game taken with Grizzly broadheads.   :dunno:

Here is a black coyote that I took with 160 grizzly several years ago. The pic is fuzzy because it's a pic of a picture. If it's something you would like to use I'll see about getting the picture scaned and put on disc. That should clear it up.

Griz 190...

 

Griz 190 "L" shaped hole from the inside out. Note the piece of rib popped off to the left. No slit with the Griz!!

This is the exit wound.The 190 Grizzly smashed through the humerus on entry and the head just protruded through the opposite shoulder.The buck ran 40 yds,full tilt and piled up.

My two quickest antelope kills were with KME sharpened Grizzlys.
