anybody looking forward to using this head?
being that its 3/8'' wider than the original how much would that slow down its penetration?
im excited about it,looks awesome!!

Where can you buy these heads? Every time I go to the web page it says they are sold out.

Great looking heads. I see where the 1.5" 's are made thinner then the orginals.

I'm getting the 180gr. I shoot the 1 1/8" Silverflames now but do not tend to get real good blood trails with these heads. I have shot 9 animals with them this year and nothing went over 60 yds but there was a couple of them where I was scratching my head trying to figure out the blood trail. I hope the XL's will open up a bigger hole and leave a better trail.

those are some fine looking heads alright, But I can't justify the cost. I can sharpen a magnus or zwicky head so it will shave a buffalo for about 1/3 the cost of a Silverflame, :rolleyes: I think if I were to hunt Cape Buffalo I might consider one but to shoot a deer or Elk naw it isn't needed. and to top it off its only a 2 bladed head !["[dntthnk]"]("graemlins/dntthnk.gif" "\"\"")

Actually, about 1/6th the cost. Blood trails aren't long if the arrow goes where it should, but some folks just keep looking.

George what took you so long? As soon as I saw this thread I knew you'd be onto it :-)
$35 for a head is nothin! I see you haven't bought a jacket since high school so I know you won't be buying any SF's....

Heck guys it's only money if you have it buy the best.If not buy a Mangus it will do the job just fine also.I would love to send a $35 knife grade work of art into some game.Who knows maybe some day I will buy myself a pack. I don't loose a broadhead a year in the field and if I did loose one on a deer or turkey I bagged I would consider it money well spent.
