Hopefully the pics will show. I flubbed a shot while practicing today and stuck a metal T post that supports my backstop. The broadhead was undamaged except for a tiny tweek at the tip. Easily hammered out and reground. If the shaft hadn't failed I'm sure that the head would have remained imbedded in the post. Put a pretty good hole in it! 820 grain arrow going about 165 fps.

Don't see the pics, but I don't doubt it!
Great heads!
Photobucket is down for maintenance for who knows how long! I wanted to post these pics to actually show what it took to "leave a mark" on these heads. I cut BOTH shoulderblades completely off of a deer and the head looked brand new.
What pound bow are you shooting?
I draw about 65 lbs on my Tolke classic whip. 64 inches
Ahhhh. Man thats cooking speed on 820grs of arrow! Nice! Thanks for the reply..
Wow that is fast for that arrow weight! I like my Grizzlies so much but those cutthroats look real solid
I took a very nice muley and a bull Rosy two years ago with Grizzlies and hit bone on both. Had significant tip curl on both heads. That said, both shots achieved full penetration and put the critters down pronto. If cutthroat made a head with the same profile as the grizzly, I believe it would be as close to a perfect head as possible.
I agree newhouse. I've had the same results with Grizzly heads with hard impacts. I shoot both Grizzlies and cutthroats and love the cutthroats but you can almost buy 12 Grizzlies for the price of 3 cutthroats.On the bear I killed this year you could still shave with the CT afterwards with no rolled edges at all. Hunting bigger game such as Elk and the Cutthroats are all I carry. That being said you couldn't fit all the game that has been killed with a Grizz head in a football arena! :dunno:

What size grizzlies were those? Just wondering,
I agree, I would love to see a longer,and even, dare I say it... heavier, version of the cutthroat :)
They seem to be pretty dang strong heads, are yours screw in or glue on with adapter?
It appears that their glue ons are the same size / width as the standard grizzlies ( not the Kodiaks). Put em on a steel full length insert and they are WAY heavier....

Thanks for sharing.
My grizzlies were the 200 gr Kodiak on a 150 gr. insert. I have glue on cutthroats but haven't taken game with them yet. The two bucks I killed this year were both with the 250 gr screw in head. And before any Oregon guys jump on me, the second buck was a spike taken with an spike/antlerless tag!
I really need to try the Cutthroats, they look and sound like a super tough head with a great warranty!
"If cutthroat made a head with the same profile as the grizzly, I believe it would be as close to a perfect head as possible."
I believe you just described a Tuffhead....
Sorry, I am biased, I just could not resist
Main difference is that the tuff head is a welded head and the cutthroat is a machined head. I do plan on trying some 300 gr tuff heads next season.
