who's seen the Eclipse broadheads write up in the new traditional bowhunter.I always new they were bad
ass but now I love them even more.fly great-hold the edge and almost indestructible with a teflon coating.a little expensive but well worth it. :archer:
-
I havent read the article, but I think Blake sells a great broadhead for sure. I met him at the PBS banquet and I think highly of him. The heads very durable, maybe indestructable.

I have not seen the article but I shoot the old made in canada journeyman head ( before eclipse) and really like how they sharpen, hold an edge and fly. I just sent my gear to MI for a few days whitetail hunting. I had my cousin open the boxes to make sure all was well, when he got to the quiver/arrow box he called me and asked if I had anymore of those heads! I guess I can spare a couple for him. After all he is the guy that got me into traditional archery.
Do we know what is different from the old heads to the new Idaho heads?

I read article last night and have never shot an Eclipse, but will worder some now, just to try them out.
-
Kirk I think they are made on the same equipment as they Journeyman's but I may be wrong. The main difference is the teflon coating. I have always liked the design. I have shot the Journeyman and the Eclipse and like both, but since Blake is a good friend I use the Eclipse.

Just read it yesterday. I have been thinking of trying some...now I know I will.
-
I read the artical, it was good.
I too have met Blake and he is tops!
I love the Eclipse broadhead, flies great, holds a good edge, and is very tough. What more can a fella ask for?

Eclipse are great heads, the insight the article provided was very interesting. Blake is great to work with too.
-
Havent read it but i'm using them this season, with one down and more to come, i think they are a fantastic head. I've even gotten to where i can sharpen them up in under 10 min per head..scary sharp...

So the canada built ones just have a gray "paint" on them?

That's all I use since my Dad took them to Africa for his bow safari......
-
I have 6 on my footed shafts but havent found a willing recipient.Maybe tomorrow after work.They do fly well and sharpen easily.
-
So are you guys using the single bevel ones?
-
I use double bevel but am going to try the single bevel on a moose hunt is 2010.
-
That was a great article. I bought my first 6 last summer and I'll be buying more.
-
Interesting article. I enjoyed it.
-
Was going to read the article last night, but fell asleep before I got that far.
What is the cost of these heads? Have thought about trying some of the tuskers as well. Which is better? Have shot Zwikey's for 30+ yrs but always willing to try something new.

Acolobowhunter:
Better is subjective but both are excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to use (and do use) either one.
Eclipse are more sophisticated and high tech, but with a price to match, we get $27.99 for 6 in the 2 blades.
Tusker's are the "Army Jeep" of broadheads, not fancy but they get the job done, we sell glue ons per each but you can have 6 for $17.94.

Thanks for the info. I just checked you website and see you are out of the 125 gr. 2 bl. models. How long do expect before you get so in? Will be hunting hogs and javelina in Dec. so would like to try them. Really does not take much to down a javelina, but would be a good time to test them.
I will give you a call.

Hope to have those soon Gene. Blake at Eclipse estimated he'd be back in stock and able to ship in a month or so, and that was about the 7th, so we hope to have them in the next couple weeks.
Thanks, Tim
