Title: Steel Force Broadheads
Post by: Joe Clark on July 16, 2008, 03:57:00 PM
Anybody out there using these? I would like information on what model etc. you are using them. Where are you purchasing. I noticed that Three Rivers doesn't carry them anymore and was just curious where folks were buying them. I'm not really interested in any of the serrated versions, I just assume that means more sharpening trouble when you want to touch them up.   :knothead:    

Any information appreciated! Thanks!

My wheel bow friend uses them. They are a good head. You can buy them from Cabelas. I haven't seen these heads over 125 grains if your looking for a heavier head.

I use nothing but them. I use both the glue on 125 and the screw in 125 as well. I have killed moose, caribou ,deer and turkeys with them.

I have killed close to 50 deer with them, most with the compound when I shot one but I have killed several with Trad. bows with them as well. Shawn

You guys are making me feel better - I picked up two packs of 125gr on close-out from a local shop for 15.00.  I was worried that I should have gone with Magnus heads, but I couldn't pass up the deal.  I hope I get good enough to use them this year, as I've designated them only for Trad.

I use them also. They had a bad rap of the tip rolling over but I never had any issue's with them. This spike ducked/spun back on release and I caught him in the shoulder with a 50lbs curve. The arrow exited out the lower neck on the far side. Short/quick recovery. I'll use the heads untill I can't find them any more...

I picked up a pack to try out the other day. I got the sabertooth 4 blade 125's. I was suprised on how sharpe they were, you can shave with them right out of the pack. I also liked the fact that they will resharpen the heads in the off season if you want them to.
