Solid Broadheads?

[wingnut]

Has anyone tried the Solid Bhs?  I have a couple of 125 gr heads to try and some 175s coming.  They look like a great head and are extremely sharp.

The shape reminds me of the Journeyman heads I shot years ago and did I say they are sharp?

Might be a great head for lighter weight bows too.

Even considering they are Samurai style, bone-blasting, and blood-letting, $160.00 for six is pretty stiff.

In the rock pile called Adair Co. Oklahoma that I hunt in, a broad head is a usually a one trick pony...I'll stick to my stingers for 1/3 the price and the replacement warranty.  That said they look like a well built quality head just to steep for my pocket book.

I can buy a ton of Zwickeys for $160....

[bigbadjon]

You can buy a ton of Zwickeys... and you can spend a ton of time grinding an edge, touching them up every time they go outside, cleaning rust, spin testing and trying to cure wobble, truing up rolled edges. No thank you. I shoot Silver Flames myself but will try these for a US option when I wear those out.

[wingnut]

Yep the price is not for everyone.  I see them as the hunt of a lifetime head like a Silver Flame.  If you are willing to pay the price for a hunt like our moose hunt then the price is not so bad.  

Not sure if I will be using them this year but I'm intrigued.

Is it me or do these heads seem pretty plainly aimed at wheelbow shooters?  Length to width does not seem optimal to penetration by tradbow?  The Turkey head looks neat though.  Nice to see some USA made gear though.

[fnshtr]

Too steep for me too. No doubt a good strong BH though.

[Jim Wright]

Mike, with all due respect, the concept that the price of these broadheads is "not so bad" when used on an expensive outfitted hunt just doesn't fly. $29.98 a broadhead is STIFF, no matter when you buy them. If someone wants to have them they should go for it by all means but did I mention they seem really pricey?

[Orion]

Short and stubby.  Poor mechanical advantage.  Not a head I'd buy, regardless of the price. Whatever floats your boat.

[Bill Kissner]

They remind me of the old Anderson heads of years  ago.

[Steve O]

I would sneak a pack or two of Tuffheads out of John's duffle...

Seriously, shooting the same broadhead as your camp mate could have its advantages and you are not going to find better than the Tuffhead.

[Kevin Dill]

Those head sure are pretty. I wouldn't think they'd kill a moose any deader or faster or cleaner than a premium conventional broadhead. On the other hand, nothing wrong with following your heart!

[monkeyball]

There's been a lot of Moose killed,not to mention all kinds of other big game,with those edge ground,rusty,wobbly,Zwickeys....

  I must have gotten some made out of a different kind of steel. I don't seem to have a problem with them.

                                      Good Shooting,

Ditto what Monkeyball said.  Zwickeys have been around since the thirties for a reason.  I wonder how long the Solids will be around?

[joe skipp]

Bigbadjon...I don't have a problem with anyone spending that much money on a broadhead if that's what they really want. I really don't care...my point is I WOULD NOT.

And...those problems you mentioned ...arrow wobble...never..constantly touch them up...NO...two strokes on a file removes any rust...if they get rusty...a few quick strokes with a file gets them back to shaving hair...NO BIG DEAL.

Shooting at a large rock from 20 yds....your Silver Flame and Tuffhead would definately come out on top over the Zwicky...hands down...but I don't shoot at rocks.

[Dendy Cromer]

Magnus and Zwickeys  have been always passed with flying colors for me. Even the old Bear Razorheads do a fine job.....
 If it ain't broke.........

[59Alaskan]

What!?!??
No glue on option!?!?!
Nice looking broadheads.  Not for me though.  Hope you take a big moose down!

[wingnut]

I'll probably stick with Tuffheads this year as it's a bit late to be waffling on BHs.  We are talking with the Solid guys about the possibility of a high end trad head though for future use.

Thanks for the input.

Yep it would be easier if they were $30 for 3.  LOL

A better choice IMO and the best of both worlds   for those that like wider, heavily built and machined, are the Aboyer Wapiti.

 Considering what you get, the price is quite fair and putting three in the quiver won't find you in line at the soup kitchen.
