You have got to be kidding me, is that what our sport has come to? Paying $79.00 - $90.00 for broadheads? I'll trade my bow in for a smokepole before I pay that king of money...PR

I will be getting a set of the samurai heads. They match everything Dr Ashby's study determined was important in the ultimate broadhead. I for one don't like to rely on a broad head made from cheep stamped plate steel when staring down a 11 foot 1,500 pound brown bear, a pissed off bison or a moose the size of a clydesdale with a 6 foot wide rack, I'll save the tin can heads for ducks and caribou thanks.

Besides with a theoretical improvement in penetration of as much as 60% over standard broad heads I'd say stepping up to the best is well worth the money.....especially when a box of 338win/mag cost $50.00 to $75.00 and you'll never get them back once you squeeze the trigger.

Also dont you find it ironic that so many folks will spend hundreds on a bow and then set it up with a cheap arrow and broad head cutting the performance of there high dollar bow in half? No wonder so many folks think they need a 60# or heavier bow! I for one will continue to judge my fellow hunter on the character of his person rather than the price of his stuff.

Agreed! It's going to cost me a months entertainment budget in the short run, but I think in the long run the $80 spent will be well worth it. Besides I need to lay off the beer anyway sheep hunting starts in 9 short months and my spring bear spot is at about 3500 feet.....trail head starts at 50!
