Title: Tusker Concorde: 155 vs 190
Post by: Snow Crow on November 10, 2015, 10:34:00 AM
Looking at the Tusker Concorde as an entry into single bevels.

Any input on differences between the 155 and 190 grain versions?  

Thanks in advance...

Have used, successfully, the 190. Other than weight, they are both configured the same. Broke the offside upper leg bone and got a pass through on a medium sized bear with that head.

The blades on the two heads are the same at .055, the weight difference is in the ferrule with the 190 grain ferrule being thicker to add the extra weight.  So pick the one that works best with your set up weight wise and you are good to go.

The beauty of the Tuskers is they are entry level priced but performance is anything but.  Great heads.

Jeffer:  Ugh, walked into that one like a mouse to peanut butter trap...

Birdbow:  Thanks!


Specifically wondering if dimensions are the same and if so where that 35 grains goes.  Also, any difference in durability.

(edit) Thanks, Tim!  Will be placing order with you soon...

I cant say anything about the difference in the heads, but i can say that i am using the 150s with adapters this year and i am thoroughly impressed.

I have the 150's Javelins and they spin and fly great. The problem with them for me is I have a KME knife sharpener and the angle of the bevel is ground too steep and I have to re-grind with my stones which is a grueling process and very hard on stones. If you use something other than a KME or the concords are ground at a different angle you may be good to go.
