Grizzy Broadheads

KentuckyTJ · April 13, 2012, 10:21:00 PM

I received six 160 grain Grizzly's today. I will admit I had all but given up on two blade heads but I am very excited about giving these a try on some critters. I was also hesitant on trying a single bevel as I have read a lot about they were impossible to get sharp. Well let me tell you, you haven't tried these heads with this angle. Those of you that know me know I am sharpening challenged and I am telling you I swiped these heads maybe a dozen times and they are hair popping sharp. The gring is absolutely perfect. I have never gotten a head this sharp with little effort. My 13 year old daughther could sharpen these things. I do have a KME sharpener to make it much easier, but seriously these things got scary sharp with very little effort. I glued them into the 75 grain steel adapters and they all spun perfectly which is a plus. I also really like the tonto tip. I don't think there will be any issues with it curling.

Ok that's all great but if they don't fly they don't make the cut to the quiver right? First two shots they flew like bullets. I actually stipped a fletch off my first shaft at around 18 yards. Needless to say they are very impressive and I have three of them in the quiver and ready for turkey season which opens tomorrow here in the Bluegass.

Those are very interesting to me. I hope they get online ordering up soon.

I too can get this broadhead sharper than any other I have used. They do get scary sharp!!

Fred Ron has his machine switched over to the Kodiak's now. He is grining the preorder heads. As soon as he is able to get them ground. I'll send them on to their new homes.Trust me when I say I want to get them out to you just as bad as you want to have them.
Ron has done alot of fine tuning on his machine to get these heads ground this nice.As good as the first batch was these heads are FAR better.
We got the new packaging material in this week.No more plastic bags!

My first batch from Kalamazoo had some rough spots but that was from the January batch and they still sharpened up great. Looking forward to the new and improved!

Hey Tom, I expect to see pics of a gobbler skewered by one of them grizzly's.

Fred, sitting in the truck at the moment watching the beautiful spring rain. Doppler shows it won't be long and I'll be back out after them. Fantastic morning.

Rob W. · April 14, 2012, 10:14:00 AM

Next year I'm swimmin the river so I can hunt earlier.

Dodger · April 14, 2012, 11:32:00 AM

Got mine earlier this year from 3 Rivers Archery and they weren't as easy to sharpen with the KME as the new batch appears to be.

I did ask Ron for his advice but they are still no where as sharp as I would like my broadheads to be. The problem appears to be an edge that has a slight bow along its length.

Having said that, they fly well and I deliberately thumped one into a brick wall and the point did not curl at all!

Have a good hunt!

KentuckyTJ · April 14, 2012, 11:41:00 AM

Dodger, those heads were from old stock. These mew ones arent like that. The grind is perfect.

Mike Gerardi · April 14, 2012, 12:30:00 PM

I have had great success with the old ones and just ordered my new batch from Zipper days ago. Can't wait to check the new ones out. Good luck with the birds TJ.

Dodger · April 14, 2012, 12:57:00 PM

Thank you, TJ. Will definitely give them another try.

Terry Green · April 14, 2012, 01:21:00 PM

Hey...I'm in the batch for the Kodiaks.....

Just curious, these look like one piece heads...or do the two pieces go all the way across?

I don't see the cutout like the old ones had.

Lookin Good!
