Title: German Kinetics
Post by: frassettor on February 21, 2009, 04:44:00 PM
Could someone please post a pic of a 210 gr Silverflame. What is the cutting diameter of the 210 gr as well  :confused:   I checked on the Alaskan Bowhunting website and I dont see a pic of one.

Google "German Kinetics Silverflame", theres both German (multilingual) and an american website.

The 210gr is solid, no cut-outs.

SilverFlames are 1 1/8"
the brand new available XL's are 1 1/2"
the special order 'DS' was 1 7/8"

here is a family picture in chronolical order from top left (2003) to bottom right (2009):

edit: had to split and rearrange the pic to keep it at 640 pixle.

I've got some of the ones on the bottom, first one on the right. I thought it was strange that they were different than any of the others he made. Sharp for sure.

Hey Falk,

Top row, third from right...what is that?  Looks cool but I've never seen that one before.  

Thanks.

Goose,
the one you pointed out is called "D.r.a.g.o.nSlayer" (*) and was kind of experimental 165gr version. I dont know the exact number ever made right now, but there were certainly not many - and never available through Markus' website

* WHY am I not allowed to write D.r.a.g.o.n here?!? I had to put something inbetween the characters or only got asterics     :mad:

Got six of the 180gr XLs coming from Marcus right now and will be trying to put them through some hogs here on Guam soon.

I guess anything is subject to failure; after seeing one of those heads shatter on contact with a sheep shoulder I just can't see the advantage of all those fancy cut outs. Frankly I'll stick with something solid like ABoyer, STOS or Grizzly.

Thanks Bjorn.  I haven't settled on a BH yet,  but it's good to know that Aboyer, STOS,  and Grizzley have been failure proof 100% the entire time they've been in business.

How do you decide between them if they're all perfect?

I tell you, I've seen those heads hit rocks in Africa, no failures. They stay ultra sharp all the time. I think they are the sharpest and toughest screw in on the market.

I've got three of the 210 grain 1 1/8", and three of the DS 185 grain 1 7/8", and 9 of the 180 grain XL's coming from Marcus.  

I really like these heads!
