I can find his website but does anyone carry them?  I thought 3 Rivers did at one time but it is not listed currently.

and I also believe you can call Larry Hanifey sp? at a&h archery direct

just click on his link in pow-wow and scroll down it gives you his home phone #

by the way his broadheads are worth the money you pay for them very strong and hold an excellent edge

The way I read the report grizzly's are right bevel and need a right wing feather to do there job better.That beening the case it looks like aboyer looks to be left bevel, which to me would need a left wing feather to do the best job.Read the report and let me know. Ken Denton

Thanks Brent, but all my arrows have right wing feathers and I have six jigs for right wing.I would like to try aboyer because they are 1 1/4" wide and I have a hard time sharping grizzlys. I don't want to buy new equipment for left wing. Anyone have any suggustions? Ken

Ken, I have a 1 in belt sander that I use to sharpen knives, tools and do some knifemaking. There is an attachment that shows what angle you are putting on your tool, ie a chisel. I have not used it for grizzlies but since it works well with knives I would see no problem.  just check the edges frequently to be sure they are not getting too hot which would reduce the rockwell hardness.

So all this time I've been shooting left wing feathers with my Grizzlies!?!  It is a wonder I've killed anything at all.  This is the first time I've heard about Grizzlies working better with right wing fletching.  I think they work just fine with a left helical fletch.

They're proud of those Abowyer heads--$38.95 for a three pack!

Mike, after looking at the Silver Flame prices, these look like a bargin.
