Type of Brodhead?
« on: April 02, 2012, 11:08:00 PM »
A buddy of mine handed me a bag of brodheads I have never seen before there is  a patent # on them but nothing more. The blades are removable and steal while the body looks to be aluminum. Any chance someone here knows what they are?

I saw these on arrows, I believe they (the arrows) were called "Truflight" back in the 1970's.  I hate to report this but I saw them come apart on just targets.

Well that is a bummer... I was going to make up some new wood arrows this weekend for turkey season. I just may have to stick with my old Bear broadheads.

2 ?'s   Do those bleeders fit the Bear heads you have? and do you want to get rid of a few,could use some on the wall hanger arrows i have made.

I would still make some wood arrows. They would look awesome on some cedar shafts.

Very common in the collector world.. (i.e. not very valuable).. Interesting is they made them in several different configurations including  Shakespeare put the blades directly onto an aluminum shaft with no ferrule (The shaft was the ferrule)
