Title: New Devistating Blunt Point
Post by: Boomerang on October 27, 2008, 12:36:00 PM
Hi Guys,
I designed and am producing a new blunt point that 3Rivers is going to market. I think you guys will really like it. It will be heat treated to 40 to 45 rockwell and really holds up well. Just make sure you keep it screwed on tight. Because it is heat treated, if you don't keep it tight and you hit something hard it can snap off at the shank. So if you keep it tight the pressure is against the shoulder and will not snap. They will be made in various weights probably 125,150 and 175 gr. and possibly heavier. I will let 3Rivers do the pictures, but give them a try and I think they will work better than anything else out there.

I call them the Spider Blunt, but I don't know if 3Rivers will use that name or not.

Agreed! There's a real market for heavier, screw-in blunts. It really sucks having to pay for Judos etc & then have to buy adapters to suit  :(

What's up Boomer?  Another request for 200 grains from your "next-door-neighbor" over in Auburn.

I like the idea of a 300 gn blunt too because I am now using 300 gn broadheads and need to have the same weight up front to have my arrows properly spined.

... would it be blunt to ask what makes a blunt a blunt and different from blunts?!

Sounds like you better make them available between 125-350 grain. I have my woodies set up for 100gr Woody Weights and 190 points and broadheads. So a 300 would save me money.

If you want blunts for game and not stumping then maybe you might try this.
I take normal steel blunts and slip some rubber blunts over the top and get a 250gr tip that will devastate rabbits and the like.
But, they won't stick to stumps.
Title: Re: New Devistating Blunt Point
Post by: novahunterpa on October 28, 2008, 05:03:00 AM
or even 250 gr

Post by: Boomerang on October 28, 2008, 06:31:00 AM
Ok,
Right now they will be made in screw on, but that is not to say that we can't make them in glue on. It looks like the push is to go with the heavier ones. We can pretty much make them in whatever weight you want and yes they have been tried and trued on squirrels with great results!

Thanks,
Boomer
