My first animal with KME stos left hand single bevel heads. Ron sent me 1/2 dozen before my hunt and man can you say SHARP. They came in at 145 gr. and they fly like a dart. I shot him just as he mounting the decoy "marie". He went 10 yards turned around and liked his lips at her just before he tipped over.(//%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%20http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll38/vitalinvader/Turkey%202008/Antelope%202008/014.jpg)
Thanks again Ron, for the sharpest broadheads I've hunted with. :notworthy:

Outstanding.
Congrats :thumbsup:

Congrats on a fine antelope. What kind od bow are you shooting if you don't mind me asking ?
peak98, I'm shooting a DAS master Gen. 1, Morrison ILF carbon-foam longbow limbs. Fast, smooth, quiet, and I love the tunability.
WTG! Great speedster, and nice bow also!
Congratulations!
Wowsers! Great job!
NICE GOAT! Where's a pic of the heads? dino
Man, that is one beautiful goat. Kinda curious what he measures?
:bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
10 yards, turned around, licked his lips and just fell over? And that can't be blood I see in the photo. Everyone knows animals don't bleed from hits with single-blade broadheads! :bigsmyl:
Congratulations Scott! :clapper: And congratulations to Ron on the sharpening job! :clapper:

Lovely animal, there. Well-done!
Wow Scott!!!
That is a beautiful buck!!...and you said you were waiting for a bigger one???!!!
I'm glad the broadhead performed well but the real credit is yours. Shot placement trumps everything else and it sure looks like you made a perfect shot to me. Well done Sir!
:notworthy: :clapper:
Ron
Congratulations on a well planned hunt.

Nice buck! Still blows my mind that a speed goat will come in around one of those funny looking blinds.
dino, this is a pic. of the new Stos "Classic" from KME.

Jack, the goat measures 75,7/8. Have to keep trying to break the 80" mark. Sure is fun trying though.
That is just great. Shame you had such a long tracking job on the praire.
What degree bevel are you using for those? I am currently working on sharpening some I have and am aiming for a 25 degree bevel.
ChristopherO, I believe Ron did them at 25 degrees. They are very easy to touch up with there knife sharpener by marking blade with a magic marker and then matching the angle so it removes the black.
Those were ground/sharpened at Ed's recommended 25 degrees. The tanto tips were sharpened single bevel, opposite from the primary bevel.
We still can't get these out in any real quantities at this point. Waiting for tooling and working the bugs out of system. The ones Scott and Kirk got were the first we sent out. We have also sent out a couple dozen each of Grizzlies and Tuskers, primarily looking for feed-back, which has been very positive. It's getting late for this year but, we will have a good supply of all of these pre-sharpened heads for next year.
Very sorry for the delay, I had really hoped to be able to get these out to everyone a couple months ago but, keeping them all consistent requires a more complex operation than I had originally anticipated.
Ron
Beautiful antelope, congrats!!! :thumbsup:
Ron, that's a gorgeous job on modifying the STOS. I'm really looking forward to Todd's factory produced, heavier single-bevel glue-on versions to hit the market.

Scott,
Slightly off subject but did you make "Marie" or what brand is she?
Passive decoying pronghorn is a love of mine.
Thanks,
Greg
Thanks Ed,
Tried very hard to stick to your specs with all the heads. I'd like to send you a few for your evaluation. Give me a call when you get a chance.
(your mailbox is full).
Ron
Ron, since I'm not able to do much most of the day I've been keeping close watch on my emails. In Box is empty. Did you send that to my Hotmail? The iprimus email might well be full, but I doubt that. Cher sent me stuff from it not all that long ago. Try sending to my Hotmail address.

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Sharpster. I got the knife sharpener some time ago, but couldn't quite get that perfect edge. Ron saw my post a few weeks back and actually called me twice before I got back with him. We figured out what the problem was and I now know what "hair popping sharp" is!
If anyone is considering different sharpeners I would recommend the KME just for the customer service if not for a superior product.
Thanks, Ron!
Congrats!!!!!
