Title: What Kind Is It (Broadhead)?
Post by: SELFBOW19953 on April 09, 2010, 02:22:00 PM

Can someone please ID this broadhead for me?  I've looked thru Wade's book, page by page, but no luck.  No names, numbers, symbols on it.  No spot weld marks, either.  I'm wondering if it was modified by grinding the point off to make it a target head(like a Hill's Hornet).  The point looks like maybe it was dipped, then ground (you can see the copper in the center, last photo).

I'am pretty sure its been modified too which may be why there's not a pic in Wadesters book bd

I was PM'd that it was an American Sabre that had been highly modified-tip notched and rear shoulder rounded.  Based on Wade's photos, I'd be forced to agree.

Thanks to all who gave input.  I really appreciate it.
