Just wondering if anyone is using them and how they are holding up. Mostly if they are suitable for bigger hogs...the long thin point on the Concord looks prone to bend...
What do you guys think?
I got a 3 pack after watching the torture test vid on the website. Got the heavy SB Concorde and killed a medium sized black bear with one. The BH shattered the offside upper leg bone on a pass through shot.
IMO they should perform well on hogs, even big ones.
Good hunting!

I believe the vid was on sponsor Braveheart Archey website.
I've got a bunch of Aztecs. They fly great and sharpen easy but I didn't use them on hogs this past week. I think they would be excellent for the job.
I have some....scaaaaary sharp....I know that.
Should zip though anything with your set up!!!
Hope I get to meet you in a couple of months!!!
I've been using Davies/Tusker Broadheads for Decades. Tusker took over from Davies a long while back. Years ago he had a few quality issues but today they are first rate. I have found Tuskers to be every bit as good as any thing else on the market. It's prudent to Chisil or Tanto the Tip on the Concordes or Delta's same as any other Broadhead on the market with a similar shape. They are a very popular Broadhead here in Australia

I bought 1/2 dozen about four years ago and after passing through several deer, a couple hogs and several varmint type animals, I still have all 6 and two are still brand new and never been shot. Like mentioned earlier mine are scary sharp even passing through animals and lodged in a tree, a few hits with a diamond stick there back in action. They are very tough head in my humble opinion!
Thanks for the good reports guys, Think I might pick up a few to try.
Terry I hope those dates work out for you.
Got my Concorde from Braveheart...sharpened by KME back in that era... they're hard and tough to sharpen for some of us more challenged in that area.
The KME were great... my KME sharpener(s) touched up the edge wonderfully. Only shot deer, but they have plowed thru and stayed SHARP!
I have some kme sharp single bevel concordes and have figured out how to sharpen them myself if needed. A couples years ago I picked up a couple fresh cow shoulder blades from my local butcher. I then proceeded to shoot them and a bunch of other heads into those blades. The concorde was one of the best performing heads, it never got dull, curled the edge, bend or anything and I tried repeatedly to break it. They are tough heads.
I killed two or three deer this year with a concorde, and by a i mean the same broadhead and arra. 1 of then was even a mature buck and with my #42 set up the area never even slowed down, blew right through. All 3 left incredible blood trails.
With that being said, i shot a pig in FL in december, the arra buried to the label, but no blood and no pig. I and 3 others have watched the video 190 timesover and that pig was hit good. This is why i am going to try to get away from a two blade on hogs.
Other than that i love my tuskers and next september they will fill my quiver again.
I took an elk last year with a concorde. Great penetration and short trail. I do tend to like Ace steel a little better.
