Who can name them? Ever shoot them? What do you guys think about them?

either the Hunter's Head or Hunter's edge. Depends. Original design by Howard Hill protege John Schulz.
I've got a half dozen that came off of John's personal arrows. These heads are definitely going on through.
Yup, Charlie is correct. Have a few in my tackle box too. Great broadhead.

Think I just saw them in Monty Browning's book.
Ditto on Charlie. I have a few of both.
I am hunting with them this year, I have a set of cedars and a half dozen on some Microflites.
I wish I could get my hands on some of those! I have one lone one hanging from my back quiver as bling.....
I have half dozen Schulz Hunter Heads that I use along with Zwickey and Deadheads. Great flying heads, easy to sharpen and do the job.
I have shot a few deer with them, problem is, most of the time the arrow does a disappearing act after it flies through the deer. I am not real sure where they go.
Here is the old card that used to come with these broadheads. Looking at offering these for sale again. Glue-on to start. With an edge (not sharp though) and coined edge (no bevel, so more work to get sharp, BUT save on cost).
Thoughts?

I like the look...what weights do you think they would come in?
Most likely the 145 grain and 125 grain glue-on models to start.
That's a nice offering, I still have a few.
Charlie, the Hunters Head came out after Howard died. Howard had ask John Lee to design a head and the H H was the results. John turned it over to John Schulz to market after Howards death. It was manufactured by Kurtz Brothers out of Connecticut.
I shot a buck once with a 90# longbow, heavy Sweetland forgewood shaft tipped with a Hunters Head. It went through him like he was a cardboard silhouette :eek: :scared:
I would suggest that if you were to market the Hunter's Heads to make them in the 145 grain with the original steel, the Ariel 125s were a bit bendy. The difference between a slight double beveled edge and no edge is not that much less work to sharpen if the no edge is to be sharpened to a single bevel as long as the metal is not glass hard. Most of my Hills were no edge and are now singe bevels. The metal on the original Schulz heads files very easy, but they hold a filed edge quite well.
Ron... many thanks for clearing that up for me. Always interested in the straight scoop!
As far as reintroducing them I'd go with the suggestion to make them 145 or 150. Maybe a skosh more. Just a touch wider wouldn't hurt anything.
I would buy them but need to be 150 or more, I think my Hunters Heads are 160
Hah. I'm sitting in a motel room in Fairbanks with Monty right now. He doesn't do computers much and got quite a kick out of this thread. He said he has never bent one...
I bent a 125 pretty good going through a deer and into gravel. I just weighed mine before I put them on arrows they were all between 146 and 149 grains. That difference could account for glue that was left after I mounted them on different arrows earlier.
The Wensel Woodsman is really their attempt at a 3 blade version of this head.
Now you have me interested!
Bring them back please. What Charlie said. Steel BH adapters can easily push them over 200gr

Yep, the Hunters head was a great head, the Ariel was not as good, different steel I guess. Still have 6 of the hunters on some sweetland arrows. If you bring them back 150-160 gr. would be the ticket.
I would be interested!
