Title: Nice old broadheads
Post by: Ted Fry on May 01, 2015, 03:17:00 PM

Check out the nice old broadheads that walked into the shop along with a bunch of bows, arrows and literature( Dont worry Cliff , I will send you copies of the photos and articles). From Dusty Roberts collection.
If you want to read some good stories on Dusty check out Fred Andersons book ( Toxicated) on page 59.
You will also see him mention his favorite hunting bow called "Death Bringer" This is with all the items. Great to hold these, I wish they could talk.  (http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m263/raptorarchery/hrobertsarrows.jpg) (http://s106.photobucket.com/user/raptorarchery/media/hrobertsarrows.jpg.html)

Great looking old broadheads. I think I recognize the head next to the field point, but the rest I'm going to have to look up.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes Rick , that is an old Case head, the two style green ones are Bitzenberger points , pretty sure the bottom three are California by products.
Not sure on the big willow leaf one or the 9 that are all the same , I will have to look those up as well.

Ted -

Great find! Dusty Roberts was a historically prominent figure in archery back in the day.

The four heads to the right are all Bitzenbergers.

The two Case heads are common.

The sloped shoulder heads with convex edge look like Hovarter heads, but hard to tell for sure from the image, would have to see in person to positively identify.

The little traingular head I can not identify, but have had one for many years.

The two CBP small game heads at the bottom are nice heads.

The leaf shape is one I can not identify, but have had one for the over 30 years, but it has a bullet ferrule. LIke Dusty, it also came from California.
