Actually, I'm not certain.  Didn't the Deadheads have another hole behind the tip?

Those aren't deadheads, shaped like them but missing a hole.

According to Wade's ID book, they look JUST like Hiser Lucky 7 light heads.  If'n they are... they are made beginning around 1995. He made another version not called "light" which was visibly heavier (more metal) in the front and also the blades.  Also made a flat (no ferrule) trade point that looked like them.  Hiser also made this blade design into a "biscuit cutter " style (three blade.

I believe they are Butterfield Brutes.  I have a couple in my collection.

Todd.  I thought so too at first.   But I am pretty certain they are the Lucky Seven lights.

The BB's are a bit different near the top, where the cut outs meet the ferrule.   I took a deer with a BB this year.  The opening it left was quite impressive in spite of my muffed shot.

If you got them at a Michigan shoot then they probably are one of Cal Hiser's heads. I won a half dozen of his Spirit heads at the MTB banquet and the Spirit has another hole in the front similar to a deadhead. They are probably one of his other heads.

I wasn't here for just two days and almost missed this one. It certainly looks like I am not needed though. But I feel tickled (<= is this the right context to use it here?) that some of you think I would have known  :o  and I think I did - on the spot  ;)
I would like to agree to all those above who said: Hiser "Lucky 7 Light"
... and it's still missing in MY collection BTW  :(
