Giving up on Grizzly Broadheads this year...
« on: August 12, 2012, 09:36:00 PM »
Well, I had hoped to have a dozen 170 grain left bevel grizzly broadheads attached to the end of my hunting shafts by now.  The KY bow season starts in 30 days and with the exception of what I wanted to shoot on the end of my arrows I'm set.  And its almost too late to be messing around with new tackle in the middle of the season.  

I was really looking forward to the new manufacturer getting up and running.  But obviously keeping up with demand has been a challenge.  Good for them.   Sucks for me.  


Looks like I'm back to the Abowyer Brown bears which are great heads--but expensive.  

Maybe next year.

The Grizzlies are going to be great I'm sure; in the meantime take a look at Abowyer Brown Bear on the A&H website they are crazy sharp out of the package.

I just got the 170's from the Teflon coaters on Friday evening.Now starts the long process of grinding them.That is the reason I'm up at 4 a.m. I will be sending some of them to Ron this week also.We are trying to get these heads to everyone but there is just no way to rush it.Jeff, if you have a preorder in you will be among the first to get them.

Pre-order?  Don't know anything about it.

Is there a pre-order for 2013 I can get in on?

Jeff,

This may or may not help, but I just picked up the last 200g LW Grizzly Kodiaks that Bob Morrison had in stock last week.  They are Bill's new style, but not the Teflon-coated ones coming off the "press" today.  Figured they'd fill the bill just fine for me!

If you still are wanting to try Grizzlies for this season, I would be glad to send you a box of a half-dozen.  That still leaves me with some to work with.  Then, when more are available, you can drop ship me some replacements when you order more...

If you find some in stock somewhere in time, that's fine.  Just thought since I had them, I'd make the offer!     :archer:

I'm saying I have all weights on hand EXCEPT 160 Grizzly's.We are grinding heads to get to our dealers but if someone places an order with us. We can send them their heads quickly.Grinding up a large order takes a lot of time but it is not nearly as long to grind 1 6 pack.On a good long day I can only grind 100 heads.

I'm sure I'm in the minority on this but I'd buy heads that didn't have any grinding if they were cheeper.

You know, Bill,

If you'd quit wasting time on unimportant things like sleeping and eating, you could probably up your total to 150 a day or so... for a while!

There's nothing like being self-employed, is there?!

Keep up the good work.  I hope it is worth it once you've caught up.  The new design and grind are worth the wait for me.  I'll shoot my old heads until I get yours.  

I don't envy you or Ron at this time of trying to get caught up on all your orders.  Hopefully, you two will look back and be able to say it was all worth the extra effort you put into revitalizing the heads.

Bill is a small business owner who runs an honest business committed to crafting top quality products. All 3 individuals working very hard to produce a high quality USA broadhead scary sharp out of the package. That is worth the wait to me.
