Grizzly Broadheads ...
« on: August 03, 2013, 06:12:00 PM »
I've never gotten anything so sharp in my life.

Well, credit goes to the head...I just knocked the burr off.  I used a file, crock stick, and a few strops on leather. Didn't take but a couple minutes.

I could shave my face with these things. And slicing sliver after sliver of paper gets boring it's so easy.

Anyway, just thought I'd share. I don't claim to be an authority on sharpening, but this single bevel head makes it easy. Kudos to the new Grizzlies.

Grizzly El Grande and the new Grizzly Kodiak are my favs...in right bevel!

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

A KME sharpening system works very well on Grizzlys. I use a couple of grades of diamond hones an India stone and then strop with some white gold on either cardboard or a piece of leather glued to a 1x4.  They get so sharp that just lightly brushing my arm hair shaves it.

I used a 140 grain Grizzly coupled with a 36 grain x-long 11/32 adapter from Braveheart Archery to get a finished weight of 175 grains.

What I like about single bevel heads, is that often we get holes that are much wider than the broadhead width.

I love them too. They fly great and with the KME sharpener and some diamond stones I can get them super sharp. Great heads.

Jeff, many people have told me that they can get these heads silly sharp with ease. Its great to see all of our hard work panning out for our customers. I'm glad you guys are enjoying your Grizzly broadheads!  
We have a new weight Grizzly coming out. They are 185 grains. This head has been impressive so far. It is 60 thousands thick. The extra steel thickness has yielded a bevel that is right at 3/16" wide.This extra bevel width means extra twisting force when resistance is encountered during penetration.
We do not have these heads on grizzlybroadheads.com yet. We just got them back from the Teflon coaters last monday but we do have several ground.If some one wants to give them a try.

I will try to get a picture of them up in a bit.

They are the same over all dimensions as the other Grizzly's. The 185 grain are just thicker steel. That makes the cutting width 1 1/8".

Killed two deer with the 130's last year.

At $40 for six of them will all the improvements they are hard to beat. EASY to get crazy sharp, Teflon coated and the molds are very true that they have all spun perfectly for me.

I couldn't agree more! I think these are the easiest broadheads on the market to get sharp. I got some 160 on Friday... Mounted one right away and it spun perfect first try! Then took a 6" file and knoced the factory burr off. They would cut hair then, but grabbed the steel from the kitchen knife rack.... A couple passes with that.... Then a couple passes on some cardboard. That's it! Maybe 5 min. More like 3-4.  It took the hair right off and left some razor burn as well.  VERY HAPPY with these heads.

Come on Aug. 15! My freezer is empty and my Grizzlys  want to eat!!
