Love me some Zwicky Delta 4 blades. I also shoot Pearson Deadheads once in a while.

Not sure if I'll Sie these but they came from some older arrows that belonged to a friend of my father's. There are five blades that spin freely around the ferrule. There is a small hole in them for the "wrench" to tighten em down. Might be small game in their future but I have to weight em first. I'm betting. The ole standard 125

Im still debating weather to use the Switchblades, but i was successful this yr. using the tried and true Howard Hill heads.
Stinkers to sharpen, but once sharp they are tough to beat. IMO

DVSHunter,

Those are Razorback 5 broadheads.  The stem unscrews and a plastic "practice" blade unit could be used.

c.1985

Trivia: In "Rambo" the explosive arrows are the plastic Razorback 5 modules with the plastic safety cover painted C-4 gray.  ;--)

I only shoot three blades now with carbon arrows, but have used the Hunter's Head, Mohawk I, and Ace Superexpress to take hogs and deer and a Bison. Still got two doz Sweetlands with a mixture of these heads on them, might have to break them out and use em out of my Bear Type 1 A,LOL.

Seems the more I age.......the further back I go.

Haven't been able to bowhunt the past year do to "issues"...and still kicking myself for selling my 52 Cub......sigh. Older yet not smarter it seems.

When funds allow another "era proper" bow will arise to my liking and within my budget but....

There isnt a head here I'll feel needs any second guessing properly used. Dont have lots.

Probably more in there I cant recall at the moment but...

Goshawks
Lafonds Rippers (not pictured)
Lafonds Lightning.
Ivanhoes
Herters
Deadheads.
Hill Hornets

Doubt Ill use a Ripper but......still bet with enough arrow weight....it would work. Rumors of not penetrating well seem logical.
Others will get slung at a deer sooner or later,Lord Willing.

Just sharing....

 

God Bless
Steve

oh yeah.......probably on the few Sweetland shafts I have. *grin*

I am shooting Ace Standards now but also love Bear Razorheads (putting together a couple dozen to use with my KHunter and Super Kodiak and others)but I just like a heavier head. Ace, STOS and Grizzlies. Those all ahve been around a long while. Have lusted after Pearson Deadheads but can not find any that are not out of my price range.

I did. ONCE. Purchased new "old stock" and had a 160 grain Wolverine broadhead SNAP on impact retarding penetration to mear centimeters. Lost 180" buck as a result. NEVER AGAIN.

save your money boys. Buy new stock.

Bear Razorheads here. I love them and no reason to look else where.
