I like the Brown Bears except they vary in weight by +- 10 grains on a digital reloading scale.Maybe the newer one are more consistant.

No archer is going to notice 50grs much less 10 anyways. Abowyer heads are top notch in every detail. Also I am weighing my boneheads now and they are 145,146, 148. Did you mean +- 5 grains? What you're saying is a 20 grain variance.

LOL!  I have a bunch of Brown Bears simmering for our Elk Hunt...........can't wait to get them out of the quiver! They worked on Hogs-they will work on Elk!

I bought some last year and I am sold. Not to expensive and not to cheap.

You really do get your money's worth. I'm gonna shoot some of the trade points this year to with my selfbows and will be using the Javelina's out of my Striker's.

I'm an Abowyer man for sure!

I was out at the Abowyer shop last week and watched the final hand tuning and razor sharpening of a batch of Brown Bears.  Very, very impressive and precision made broadhead.

Be careful!  They come ready to cut!  Big time.  Cool heads!  I have the brown bears.

They need to make a hunting knife to complement their heads ... I'm thinking a canadian belt knife.  That would be sweeeeet.

Bigbadjon the BBs are advertised at 175 grains and mine range from 160 to 170 in variation. Not consistant or the weight advertized...just facts. That doesn't mean I don't like them, won't use them,are not accurate,and won't order more. In fact I am thinking I will order the newer screw-in BBs for this fall.Anyone tried the srew-in models?
