Hey All....I wanted to give some credit to a great company. Bear with me....

This year I decided to investigate and experiment with the whole Ashby theory...I don't want to get into a debate on the subject, but I observed less than perfect penetration with my current set up, especially when using bows down around 50#.

I have spoke with Joe a few times at Compton, and I alwys liked him. This past year I was walking by, and he good naturedly said, "Hey Roger, why aren't you shooting my broadheads?"

It led to a short conversation, but it stuck with me, favorably. So when my penetration doubts crept in, I sent Joe an email asking for his opinion on a few things. From there, I ordered some broadheds to play with. The arrived RIGHT NOW...I think I ordered on Saturday and had them on Tuesday morning.

I then ordered some sharpening stuff..BLAM! 2 day delivery.

My arrows are flying great, the broadheads are perfectly matched to the field points, and they are SOOOOO easy to keep sharp. All I need now is a willing deer! The quality of these broadheads is superb. Pricey enough that I won't be flinging them at grouse and porcupines, but absolutely worth the money.

Thanks Joe, great work!  :thumbsup:

I have never talked to Joe but they sure make a great head!

So what's your hunting arrow set up for your 50# bow? I shoot the same weight and I am thinking of trying carbons again, been shooting XX75's for years now.

Jason...I have given up on lighter bows (for now). My Lil Favorite and JavaMan Duo Flex are both 57#. They shoot an Axis 400 shaft, cut at 28.5", and a 225 TuffHead with the 75 grain steel insert perfectly. I have played with a %!# Tanjavur and 50# Shrew with the same head, but an Axis 500 shaft, they fly great.

Thanks Roger, I may get some of the Axis 500 Trads when available and try them out.

Joe also developed another neat little product you can see at Vintage Archery.... the Bowtote.  

I don't use it on every hunt, but when I need to carry "stuff" on a hunt, it is a great way to transport my bow.  Check it out sometime.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.
