I have been testing them for a while now.  It started as a curiosity thing but they have surprised me and exceeded my expectations by a good bit.  So much so in fact you'll be seeing some Tuskers at Braveheart soon...

I've been working mostly with the Concorde.  They fly beautifully and the spring steel is very high quality, they take/hold an edge exceedingly well.  Man they get SHARP!

I haven't had them long enough to take any game with them but I plan to fix that as soon as possible.   :D

Tim,

Are you going to have the screw-in Concordes? They look very nice to me.

I'll be using both the 155 and 190grain Concords in about 3 days so I'll get back to you if I loose any.

I appreciate the responses - looks like something else I will have to try... Man there is always just that one little thing you see that suits your fancy and you just have to try in this sport.... I'm new at the traditional aspect of this - so I suspect I will go thru a lot of these "lil" trial & error temptations.... But thats okay with me...  Again -thanks for your responses... JDH

I have a couple different styles and have been thinking about making a single bevel out of some of them-pretty easy to do with a sanding belt....
theye fly well on my cedars

I love them...tough on animals and easy to sharpen.

Check out these previous threads:

There was some negative feedback on them so I went out and shot a buffalo at a friend's farm to prove a point...and to get some meat too!! Cajun used to be the North American distributor but John has appointed dealers on his own. There is no discounting these broadheads...you can check out the review on them at  www.peteward.com (http://www.peteward.com)
They are a sleeper of a deal.

Thanks, Tim. Looks like I may be ordering some more stuff from you. I have liked everything I have bought from you in the past and appreciate the good service. I wish I could get another Grizzly Premium Shooting Glove in large. The one I got from you has become my favorite glove.

I've been using the 190 concordes on my carbons and have switched to woods this year.
Got my last batch from Australia. Where can I get glue ons? I had to have something in the 200 range in a 2 blade so I purchases Grizzlys.

Keep them well oiled. They are good heads but prone to rusting with any kind of humidity in my experience. Sharpen up real well and fly good.

Allan, we are lamenting the Grizzly glove predicament as much as you are.   :help:  

Bowferd, the big 190 Tusker Concorde will be in the mix, available at Braveheart soon.
