Post by: pauljr on February 10, 2011, 07:05:00 PM
Was wondering who out there really likes the old greenheads.

It would depend on the year head you are asking about, as over the years the design improved. There are similar heads now that are probably stronger. That being said, there is something to be said for hunting with those heads and a vintage Bear bow. Pretty cool, and the greenies put down an awful lot of game. I like em'.

I love em and use them a lot.  I like the greenies better than the newer dark greenish/blueish ones.  Those are too hard to sharpen.  But, with some digging you can still find them.

The old Bear Razorheads are easy to sharpen, fly true and have killed many a critter.

I still have a dozen of the original yellow bear arrows with greenies on them from the 60s that my stepdad gave me about 10 years ago. They are so cool! Even in the original box.

With Bear's new interest in traditional archery again it would be great to see the original Razorhead return. I've killed a couple of critters with them and have no complaints.

I used one on a woodchuck last summer. Great penetration and hole size. A little weak in the ferral/tip but a good performer overall.   :thumbsup:

Post by: Bowwild on February 11, 2011, 07:55:00 PM
I have several that I've used over the years. Different models including the smaller 100 grain one that was a shiny green. I used them for the most part of 25 years (until 1995 or so) without the bleeder. Like others have said, they were easy to put a razor edge on -- I used vertical crock sticks.

These days I wouldn't use them because I think there are too many better made broadheads out there in terms of trueness and weight from head to head. I've had some of the Razorheads come apart upon hitting opposite shoulders. However, if they were made again, I'd give em a check-out. I think the Magnus Stinger is very close.

Used them many yrs ago and they were good ones, but a few years back I bought some new. But I forget who made them now,or if they still do, but the green were 125gr and the red were 100gr, but they were not as good as they were when Bear made them.
