This isn't exactly a harvest pic, but if you scroll down you can see how well they have worked for me.  http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=101302;p=19

My first deer with a bow I made and a Ribbie 190.  2001, Southern IN:

 

Another 190 kill:

   

And another:
     

Those 190s are hell on squirrels.  This was the best shot I have ever made in my life.  40 yards, 30 feet in a tree.  Not afraid to lose a $2 (back then) head:

I have some 160g on wood shafts.... I hand sand them so they fill the ferrule completely.

What kind of inserts are ya'll using on carbon shafts?

I have a dozen 190s and find them very suitable.  They seem to be similar to double bevel big Grizzlies.  I don't think you can go wrong with them, especially at that price !

I shot at a steel bear target that had a cutout for the kill. I missed the cutout and drove the ribtek right into the steel and the Ribtek was not hurt at all. I finished shooting the whole round with the wood arrow and same head. I say, one tough head.

First big batch hit the mail tonight. If anyone has any issues when they arrive don't hesitate to let me know and ill do my very best to make it right.  I've still got quite a few more if anyone needs anything.

Good to hear they're again available.  I thought they were a good substitute for the Pearson Skeleton Ferrule heads.

I still have a a dozen or so each of the 125W & 125S in reserve and had several nice whitetail kills with them.  Moved on to Stos when I couldn't find the RibTek.  Super easy to file sharpen.

I received mine yesterday. Sharpened a couple and were scary sharp in just a few minutes. I forgot how easy they are to sharpen. They will be in my quiver this season.

My favorite heads!   I bought a hundred pack of 190's this past winter from Australia....enough to last me awhile.   But here's a few pics....

By the way, these are TOUGH heads, easy to sharpen, and I've never had penetration issues with Ribbies....

I have quite a few 145 and 190.

Just for fun and out of curiosity I filed the edge of one flat and then filed it Sharp with a single bevel.

Awesome Stumpkiller!

I dropped my phone a night or two ago and the screen exploded, so I've been a little out of touch.  If I missed anybody in the last day or two please give me a second chance to make it right.  New phone should be here tomorrow.
