Rreceived Grizzly 140s - wow!
« on: August 27, 2012, 09:19:00 PM »
Got my Wgrizzly 140s in and sharpened a few of them.  Wow, the new design and grind are areal improvement over the old design.  I used the KME broadhead sharpener and it made sharpening the head much easier than using a file.  The first two took longer than i thought they would, but the rest have gone quicker and shave hair easily.  I just hope I can report back on how nice a holethey put through deer.

Absolutely, great heads. Mine will get their first tree time Saturday (if the rain holds off).  I don't like getting wet, I may melt.

BaldingEagle, how long did you have yours on order?
Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

iohkus, I ordered them back in May.  I believe that since the heavier grained heads had the greater # of orders, the 140s were done later.  From what I've seen, so far, they are worth the wait.  Isat down with Ron from KME at the Baltimore shoot, and he loked tired then.  He has been grinding, non-stop since then.  He has done a great job.

I hope this helps.

Yup!  I just got done sharpening some 160s I got at Baltimore for elk this weekend.  

I think they have gone from the hardest head to sharpen to the easiest.  Just some file work and I had them shaving sharp in a matter of minutes!

I ended up with the 160's after waiting 2 months for some 170 Kodiak's, which were on backorder. Very happy with them so far. I've been in range of two moose so far, but alas, they were both cows. Sitting on the end of my 750 grain ash arrows, I'm expecting great penetration.
