Just wondering if I should keep them in the package or if I should hunt with them? Any collector value or have they been in there long enough?
Anyone know what they weigh?

Absolutely, that's what they were made for! Just my thoughts but, I would like to think ole Papa Bear would want you to go out there and use his product to make meat. :thumbsup:
I've got some that are 125gr. So, maybe in that ball park.
They were made to use; use them!
An arrow, as much as it looks like art, was made to shoot.
I hunt with the old green, glue on heads. No reason you can't hunt with these. If I'm not mistaken,the screw in insert on these heads cannot be taken out. It is factory installed to stay put. Collector value would be in the complete package. Do not open if your looking to sell to a collector. Don't expect to pay for college with the proceeds. There were millions made.
I would get them bloody!
Hunt with them :archer2:

:thumbsup: Yup
Hunt with them! I use them all the time, most of the screw in heads are 145 grain give or take 2 or 3 grains.
They do a great job at what they were designed for use them!
There is always some pride in owning an original piece of equipment. Especially still in the package. You may want to hold on to them for your own pleasure. Bring them out from time to time to impress the neighbor kids. They are not worth a lot, too many made. But they are still a great head and will do the job well should you want to use them. Your choice.
Fred called and said- hunt'em!!!
Time to take them for a walk in the woods!
Yes. You should hunt with them
Ask yourself what would Fred do with them?
Bear bows and razorheads were born to HUNT.
Look like 145's to me,go out and put them through a deers chest!!
I'd shoot something with them, but I'm not much of a collector. :archer2:

I think it is time to take them for a walk...I'm going turkey hunting this weekend and I think I'm going to break the KME out tonight and sharpen a few up and hopefully send one very well placed shot down range!
Beware Thunder Chickens...some old Bear heads are coming your way this weekend!

I recently bought an unopened Package on the Yellow card, I also bought an open package and some loose ones, the unopened package will be the last to hunt, but they will hunt.

Yup, but none that I won't take to the woods. ;)
What date range are they from?
Josh
To sum it up in one word..........Yes.
Thats like never driving a 1967 Corvette.Why have it if you cant use it!
Powerful medicine!
Hunt with them and then take some nice close up pictures of them with the animals you kill.
Definitely let those babies fly at some fur... :archer2:
To steal a quote from a B movie..."A weapon unused is a useless weapon".
Josh,
I can't tell for sure, but they look like the ones that have more of a blunt point, so I'd say early 70s. The older ones had more of a needle point. Fred Hess, the old boy who owned the bow shop where I used to get my supplies hated the newer style ones. His shop had a wooden floor, and one day when my cousin and I were in there, Fred was on a rant about the change. He took one of the old Bears and dropped it on the floor from about three feet. It stuck. He dropped one of the new ones and it bounced and fell over. "There, now which one would you hunt with?" he asked. He still had some of the old green pointy ones, so that's what we went home with. I still have some of them!
I think that was about 1973, give or take a year.
Russ
YES - hunt them!
Shoot straight, Shinken
Please, hunt with them! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

HUNT!! LOl
I'd save those heads as they are in the packet.
Like that they have some real collector value.
Bear heads are not exactly hard to find,,,bear heads still in the pack are.
It's not the same as never driving an old corvette ect,,,,their out of the packet already,an I bet you can't find one with zero "genuine" miles on the clock,,,and if you could I'd also bet the ownner would shoot you before letting you drive it.
From a both a dollar and a collector value,these heads still in the pack do have some value,,,out of the pack their just another bear razor,of which there are millions spread all around the world.
So why ruin something of real collector value by opening the pack when theres absolutely no need to.
Man oh man those babys were made to make meat. Go get them bloody OR sell
Sorry I didn't finish my post. Get them bloody OR sell them to someone that doesn't hunt and buy more for making meat. Frank
Hunt with them.
