Title: Ace Broadhead Help
Post by: Mike Shaw on April 22, 2012, 05:48:00 PM

Anyone have an idea on the year and maybe the rarity of this old ACE head?
the head is just a bit over 2.5" long. I have no clue why it is laced on the arrow. Thanks in advance, Mike

Mike, I know absolutely next to nothing about broadheads.....BUT I have dealt with the owner of ACE Broadheads a few times and he seems like a straight up guy.

Maybe shoot him a pic and he might be able to shed some light on it.

Lacing might be a "primative" form of footing for some added strength maybe??

This is from the 40s.  But with the bottom of the ferrule covered the ferrule length is in question. Overall length, ferrule length, ferrule OD and ID, are all needed to pin this down. Either a Hi-Speed or Standard.

Thanks I will remove it from the arrow and get back with all the measurements.

Forgot to ask....what does the arrow look like? Any names etc on it? You may not want to remove the head. It's not that rare.

Ron, the arrow has the name rodger or rodgers stamped in the shaft but very hard to read.

Thanks Mike
