So on Cabela's site, someone got some Zwickey Eskimo broadheads. It seems he bought glue-on heads, and didn't know that.
He wrote:
"It's awesome looking, but they don't have any way to attach. You have to crimp them on. It is not for the faint of heart, I would not suggest them to the un experience archer."
I laughed to myself. Poor guy. I don't have a Cabela's site account, or else I would leave a review to let future customers know.
Ignorance is a formidable advisary . :dunno:
I would be impressed to see him crimp them on straight, although that might just be an issue for unexperienced archers.
I would absolutely love to see how he accomplished this feat
Now THAT's Funny right there!!! :biglaugh:
Obviously if he doesnt know, thats not his fault. But I think he should have been able to realize that something is missing.
Who has started archery and with in a short time didn't know about Julie on heads. Sounds like a joke.
And this guy is out in the woods.
According to him... An "experianced archer" :rolleyes:

So what's a Julie on head?
I was wondering the same thing David.

I could think of a few things a Julie on head could be, each more inappropriate than the last. However, probably it's an autocorrect fail. Shoulda been Glue on heads no doubt.
P.S. orginal strory is hilarious!
Lol, it's a glue on head. I guess I should proof read before I post, oh well. :-)
back around 85 I was no different than that guy, didn't know there was different arrows for different bow weights, didn't know I couldn't shoot vanes from the shelf, didn't know about gloves so I just used my fingers, didn't know I had to sharpen broadheads thought they where pointy enough..
this is what happens when you have nobody showing you or teaching you, its called "learning as you go" I didn't have internet back then nor did I know anyone who shot archery..
nowadays there's the internet so its easy enough with websites like this one but 35yrs ago for me I was no different than that kid I had no idea what a arrow taper was,,,, if I have one single person to thank it was Paul Brunner at screaming eagle archery, he must of hung up the phone after every time I called with all my questions and said "oh MY God" while wiping the sweat from his forehead..
hey Paul how do you get these on the aluminum arrows there's no screws coming out? --> been there done that, ha ha ha
Hahaha! :biglaugh:
That's funny, but i hope the guy gets straightened out!

Has to be a joke.... if one is smart enough to post a review to online, you would think one is also smart enough to Google installing Zwickey heads.
Tajue, Im sure the guy will figure it out one day. But like you said, he has the internet, so he should be able to figure it out sooner or later. I hope...

I would guess it's a brilliant troll rather than a naive BH shooter.
Either way, pure gold

I agree and yeah maybe its a troll,, my post was just me babbling because it brought back memories.
Not sure what the buyer was thinking or this is a joke.
We used to have crimp on field points. I think I still have 4 crimping tools for that purpose.
OK enough of the "locker room" talk! Julie on head, who would have thought?
Yes, we were all greenhorns at one time. I hope somebody got him squared away with fine set of wooden arrows to glue them on.
:biglaugh:
I was that guy 30 + years ago. I'd walk into Tommy Rothrock's Wilderness Shop and just ask questions. Some of his staff were less than helpful(snicker, snicker) but Tom always had time for me. When I got back into archery 3-4 years ago I went to him for my bag target. Remmebering where we came from helps keep us from being, uh, ,uh, well you know...

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
Jim,
it'd pay us all well to realize we all started somewhere and our learning curve was either hastened or hampered by or the lack thereof, a person of importance to guide us. Self taught is a lonely path....
Far better it may be to offer direction then derision?
He obviously should have asked the "Cabela's traditional archery expert sales associate" how to install them.
Funny. If real, I hope he doesn't get any chance to shoot any game with those crimped on heads. Yikes.
