I'm looking for input on tusker Concorde single bevel heads from folks that have put some big game down with them.
Stone,
In 2010 I killed an average sized bear with the Concorde SB out of a 54# LB, 625 gr. arrow. From a treestand and slightly quartering, got a pass through and shattered the off side upper leg bone. Find they're easy to sharpen and fly well out of my set up. Good BH, IMO, and easy on the wallet compared to others.
Best regards,
Todd
jim, i've got a bunch of double bevel 190 concordes that i've flight tested but haven't had the gumption to hunt with, yet. they're quite tuff and took a knocking about when roving into dirt mounds. they're the thickest steel of all the tuskers, really strong and a good 3:1 ratio. it didn't take long for a kme to put a shaving edge on a few of them, too. i've got mine stuck on hildebrand stika spruce shafts. i got mine from tim @ braveheart, and the price tag is almost dirt cheap.
Jim : I shot my doe last year with them , great head i would recomend them :thumbsup:
I just got some today! Hopefully i can get a deer down with one and I'll let you know!
Rob....how could you FORGET!?!?!?!...(uh....number of bevels wouldn't have mattered)

not last season, but one before I shot a doe, than an hour later, a buck with 150 Concordes (weighted to 175)that were KME single beveled.
Dang critters had a good bit of blood shot on them, both pass thrus... looked more like damage done with my 7mm ballistic tips.
I was impressed.
Last year I didn't get to use them, but went to same head with a total weight of 200 gr.

OH MAN, i'll tell ya, i looked at that pic and had NO CLUE what it was about .... took me more than a few minutes to connect the dots. this is scary ... i'm really starting to forget stuff. wow. :confused:
BUT HOLY MOLY! yer right! that was the "hatchet job breakfast bacon piggy" from the bacon strip last year!!!!! tusker concorde killed that one deader 'n' door nail and it went no more than 20 yards.
oh yeah ... that's "magua", my t/d mohawk, too!
I shot a doe this year with a Tusker concorde in 160 gr. 10 yd shot, hit too far back but penetrated liver and paunch. I saw the deer run 60 yds, slow, and turn. 1.5 hours later I walked to where last seen and the deer was curled up like a dog, dead. Deer was stiff already. I took the tusker and a few strops on a piece of leather and it was shaving sharp again. I like
James, I have a half dozen on some Dougie Fir Shafts. Left hand single bevel Tusker Concordes. I'm just dieing to try them out! Bought them KME Sharp from Tim at Braveheart. I will let you know ASAP when I have some results.

:thumbsup:
both of these fell to a 125gr SB concorde on a 125 adapter. 54# recurve. the goat was front on at 10m. the head came out the kyber pass. the boar was broadside at 15m. pass through and now the arrow lives in the swamp.

Awesome results Clint :thumbsup:
I just purchased some 190 grain single beveled Tuskers this year that had been sharpened by kme and I love them. See my post at 2011 Highlights "Back Yard Buck" for details on thier performance :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
James, is this the one? I shot 2 deer last year and one so far this year with the same arrow and BH. I only had to do a mild touch up to keep them sharp. One of the does I shot through the shoulder into the heart. It almost took her leg off.

These heads are looking to be the logical choice for me.
I want some. Good looking head.
Still haven't kill anything with mine yet

Shot this buck with a 190 concorde w/75gr insert... clean in and out... great blood trail... Still sharp enough to shoot at another deer if I needed to...
Nice Dave :thumbsup:
Shot this javi with Faith last winter using a single bevel concorde ground down to 200 grains with adapter and sharpened by Ron at KME. I don't think that the arrow has landed yet.

Shot this hof that was prob 175# with one as well. 48# bow and arrow penetrated sround 15". Waited too long to track and the yotes got it. Good blood trail, though. Still kick myself for waiting.

Don't those yote's know it's not safe to eat pork unless it's well cooked? :knothead:
Nice pictures guys. :thumbsup:
