New heavy Broadhead Coming

[Bob Morrison]

New heavy Broadhead Coming 6-8 months. It is being designed and built by one of my customers in Ontario. This is what I have been waiting for.. As you know my site is being worked on so I'm going to see if Gary can get the pictures on. This is a proto BH this one weight 302Gr. and is a one piece head and will be offered upto 400 gr. This head has been shot 50-100 time this evening, in dirt and a few rocks. flies perfect, quiet. Pete Ward will be doing some real tests on the head. All I get to do is hunt with it       and kill dirt.

Just waiting for the Courier to arrive with the prototypes..

Glue-on?

[Crooked Stic]

Kill dirt? Dirt dont digest well. Some of us are older than dirt so I guess we are safe. This sounds interesting since I am using a lot up front with my GTs. Just seems like after I get them flying good they will fly out of about anything that I have within 10-15 lbs of each other.

Bob,

I have to ask.  How much stiffer of a shaft is guy going to need to shoot these heads going from 125 grins to 400?  I'm already on the upper reaches of whats available on the available market.   Sure I can find what I need.  I can't imagine trying to find spines 20 or 30lbs greater.  I know they're out there.   Obviously I'm speaking of wood here.

It does look like a great head to add onto a huge say waterbuffalo arrow, or if ya had the itch to scratch a side of elephant.

I wonder if you could make this head out of a lighter steel to get the weight down without loosing the quality of the head?

Only glue-ons Bob?

[Earl E. Nov...mber]

Interesting,, They are going for heavy then flute the ferrule??? Looks nice though

[Bob Morrison]

Screw on BH...The flutes are to get them down to the 300 gr. area. They will be able to get them to 400 gr. I don't know if there will ever be a glue on head or not.
 The BH in the picture hit a lot of dirt and rocks tonight, It will still be hunting in 2 weeks.

[vermonster13]

I mistook the picture for a glue-on. Screw ins would be much better for me in those weights. Any idea on pricing?

[Bob Morrison]

I'm not sure on the price but I would think along the lines of the Montec and similar one piece stainless  broadheads. Even if they are a little more you won't have to screw with adding weight to the BH or the arrow insert to get the weight you want ( I want).

[Pinecone]

This is awesome, Bob! You turned me on to heavy BHs years ago and I've been a devotee ever since.  Typically, I use a heavy insert or heavy adapter to get the total weight up between 250-270 and sometimes that is still not quite enough weight to obtain proper tuning with some of my carbons.  A head in this weight class will save time and resolve challenges for those os us who are addicated to High FOC.

Bob,
What is the lenght to width numbers ? Looks a little less than the venerated 3:1 ratio, but who cares, looks like this thing will penetrate a bunker ! Looks like SS too, is it carbon or SS ? Any idea on Rockwell C hardness ? Most knives are around 50-60, I think Wensel Woodsmans are low 40's.

OOPS, forgot one more thing, what is the blade thickness ?

[Bob Morrison]

Claudia your going to like these. I've been shooting 250-350 for some time now. and the 300 is sweet.

Not quite 3:1... 2.5+- 1 1/8+-. Real close to what I'm use to and I know it works.  .040 +- blade thickness.

[vermonster13]

Bob now you need to talk them into making fieldpoints to match them in weight.

[Bob Morrison]

I'm sure someone will come up with the FP. A judo is going to be a problem for me, That what I do most of my practice with...

[SlowBowinMO]

Zikes what a warhead!  I like it!

I think such a head would need a special license, or registering with NASA or something.
