I'd love some 250 screw ons. At 300 I'd need to go up in spine I think though. Maybe an offseason project.

Jim,

I'll commit to three packs as well.  Wouldn't be a change in broadhead weight, just a design that I would love to try out!

Bob,
I'll bring a couple to Georgia with me in January.  Think you will really, really like them.

Thanks Terry.

the price on these are $60 for a three pack in either screw in or glue on.

I have quite a few screw in pre orders and now is the time to get on the list as I will order a few more than what is ordered, but it may be a while before we could get another group of people together big enough to do this again. These heads are tough and if you don't loose them, it is unlikely you will need to replace them.

We are half the way to having enough orders for the glue on heads.

Thanks ya'll, bigJim

PM sent Jim, in for 3 packs of the 300gr screw ins.

Babs, recent posts of videos here on sharpening makes it easy, even for a sharpening challenged dude like me, LIGHT pressure was the key for me.
shoot straight shoot often

babs, it is quite easy. lay the BH down flat on a stone or turn two blades up flat and stroke with a file (my preferred method).
When using a file, it helps to fill the file with chalk board chalk first so the filings don't embed in the grooves of the file impeding progress.

If they are quite dull when I start, I make 5-7 passes with moderate or more pressure before rotating sharpening one side of two different blades each time. I continue until I have fully rotated the head thus hitting each side of each blade.
Now do it again using one less pass each rotation with decreased pressure until you get to one pass per rotation. At this time you should be using so little pressure that you are barely touching the head. I will continue to rotate until I'm satisfied with sharpness.
If desired, you can further polish the edge with a fine stone and then stropping but I haven't found this to be necessary.

thanks, bigjim

We are getting real close.
Anyone wanting glue on heads should send me a PM as it has stalled but very close to the needed numbers.

For the screw ins, if you want them, nows the time. I will make the order and I will order a few extra, but it will probably be a while before this happens again and if i don't order enough, you may get left out.

thanks, bigjim

The order has been placed and I will be contacting people shortly for payment.

I ordered a few more heads than what were pre ordered so I will have some on hand for a little while at least.

thanks, bigjim
