It was just broadheads.... I have watched and heard lots of talk about these broadheads... They are the Big Game Heads... I decided that they should work well with my 625grn hBeman MFX shafts and 100 grn brass inserts and Jims Alum adapters......

I was very pleased with the quality of these heads.. They are big but the angles make me feels a though they are wide they have the potential to be GOTO broadheads.... Very easy to mount on the adapters... I think the quality is excellent so far...

They were pretty sharp out of the box... I got them epoxied into the adapters... and waited 4-5 hours and flung a few through my 57# whip...(54 or so at my 27in draw..) It hit with my field tips... I only shot about 10-12 shots, but they flew well, with just a lil hiss.... I was concerned at first, but they hit accurately and the sound is minimal.. A lil less than with a snuffer...


The big test will come this fall!!!

I did notice that a lil work needs to be performed on the edge for my tastes, but it is about as sharp as I am able to get snuffers....

I will sharpen them later and let you know how it goes... There is a bunch of hype on this head, but I am very impressed so so far!!! Will follow up later after the kids head to bed and I start sharpening...

Those things look mean!  I ordered some Battleaxe heads yesterday.  I'll be interested to see how they do.

Big game heads are my choice this year, can't wait to use them.

Using my typical RADA wheelie sharpener... The got sharp, semi hair popping... But not quite what I am looking for... But these concave edge heads prove difficult...

That's why I gave up on the old tigersharks I had... This is easier IMHO as the sweep is continual, But I need to find a better method...
