I received a original package of Bear greenies broadheads for X-mas($2.79 for 6) and was wondering how you mount them on wood arrows so you can put the insert in them . Thanks and Merry Christmas to all!

Hot melt glue to put on shaft. There is a little tool to insert the bleeder and you have to shorten your taper if you use the bleeder.

Dry mount the head and use a very sharp pencil and run a line in the bleeder slot. Remove head and saw slot with hacksaw, band saw or coping saw.... or just use a short taper.

Bear made a tool for a long time called an "Insert-a-saw", for that purpose.
Good luck finding one of those.

I've heard of guys heating up the slot cleaning tool and just pushing it through the mounted head... burning it's way through the soft cedar. I never tried that, so can't speak from experience.

I picked up a pack of these little saw blades at my local hobby shop.  They fit an exacto handle and worked perfectly for cutting the bleeder slot, allowing me to keep the full length taper.  Don't remember the mfg or model # tho.

Depending on the package, you may want to reconsider using them.
Collectors pay big bucks for original packs.
If they are in the red box, I would definitely reconsider.

If you don't want to hang on to them as a memento,, consider selling them and buying slightly used off the internet for $3.00-4.00 a piece.
