Title: Broadhead ID and weight??
Post by: Forester on June 11, 2009, 12:44:00 PM
Hello all,

Looking for some help with a positive ID and a weight for these heads. I was sent this pic but I don't recognize them.  I am hoping this will be an easy question for some of you with collections.

RB-3 is stamped on the ferrule - that's all I know. The person who has them does not have a scale.

Any info is appreciated.
Thanks
Duane

The Razorback 5 was a fairly popular broadhead in this area during the mid 80's to early 90's. I shot them myself for a couple of years when I was compounding. They weighed 142 grains and came in a four pack in a neat little bright orange carrying case. I worked in an archery shop part time back then and we sold a ton of them. At the time they were probably the most expensive broadhead going. I may be wrong but I believe that they tried to keep all of the broadheads the same weight, regardless of the number of blades, around 140 grains. Thye just used less blades but bigger ones.

The Razorbak came out in 1975 with the Cone tip 5 blade, I did try them and took many deer, they seem to hold up well, they made a few colors of the first model, red , white, green & tan. anyone have any other colors?

The 3 blade came out in 1993, they all where made by New Archery Products........Hink  :archer:
