Title: Tusker broadheads
Post by: DKdc on January 12, 2012, 08:46:00 PM
Just wanted to throw this out there. I bought the 150 grain javalins and they are a quality product. They fly good, they are quiet, easy to sharpen, sturdy and are affordable. I think some broadhead prices are redicluous. I got mine online from braveheart archery.

The Tusker Concordes are wicked looking. Good strong broadhead.

I do...KME sharpened to single bevel and tanto, they come in around 145 and I use a 42 gr. screw in insert plus some lead shot to hit a 200 gr. head.

I shot 2 deer 2 yrs ago same day and they looked like they were hit with a 7mm ballistic tip inside!

I don't shoot them since my poundage at my draw length makes them too heavy arrow GPP wise.

One of my friend's shoots the Concorde. I think his bow is 65#, but he's a big man himself at 300 pounds.

I shoot the Concorde from my 55# long bow. Total arrow set up 765gr. Does nice work on a deer. Have taken several with the same head, 2 were with in 1/2 hour of each other last year and 1 early this year. Then I nailed a buck in the beginning of December Through the shoulder. That finally bent it a tad.
