New heavy Broadhead Coming 6-8 months. It is being designed and built by one of my customers in Ontario. This is what I have been waiting for.. As you know my site is being worked on so I'm going to see if Gary can get the pictures on. This is a proto BH this one weight 302Gr. and is a one piece head and will be offered upto 400 gr. This head has been shot 50-100 time this evening, in dirt and a few rocks. flies perfect, quiet. Pete Ward will be doing some real tests on the head. All I get to do is hunt with it    :)   and kill dirt.

Just waiting for the Courier to arrive with the prototypes..

Kill dirt? Dirt dont digest well. Some of us are older than dirt so I guess we are safe. This sounds interesting since I am using a lot up front with my GTs. Just seems like after I get them flying good they will fly out of about anything that I have within 10-15 lbs of each other.
High on Archery.

Bob,

I have to ask.  How much stiffer of a shaft is guy going to need to shoot these heads going from 125 grins to 400?  I'm already on the upper reaches of whats available on the available market.   Sure I can find what I need.  I can't imagine trying to find spines 20 or 30lbs greater.  I know they're out there.   Obviously I'm speaking of wood here.

It does look like a great head to add onto a huge say waterbuffalo arrow, or if ya had the itch to scratch a side of elephant.

I wonder if you could make this head out of a lighter steel to get the weight down without loosing the quality of the head?

Screw on BH...The flutes are to get them down to the 300 gr. area. They will be able to get them to 400 gr. I don't know if there will ever be a glue on head or not.
The BH in the picture hit a lot of dirt and rocks tonight, It will still be hunting in 2 weeks.

I mistook the picture for a glue-on. Screw ins would be much better for me in those weights. Any idea on pricing?

I'm not sure on the price but I would think along the lines of the Montec and similar one piece stainless  broadheads. Even if they are a little more you won't have to screw with adding weight to the BH or the arrow insert to get the weight you want ( I want).

This is awesome, Bob! You turned me on to heavy BHs years ago and I've been a devotee ever since.  Typically, I use a heavy insert or heavy adapter to get the total weight up between 250-270 and sometimes that is still not quite enough weight to obtain proper tuning with some of my carbons.  A head in this weight class will save time and resolve challenges for those os us who are addicated to High FOC.

Bob,
What is the lenght to width numbers ? Looks a little less than the venerated 3:1 ratio, but who cares, looks like this thing will penetrate a bunker ! Looks like SS too, is it carbon or SS ? Any idea on Rockwell C hardness ? Most knives are around 50-60, I think Wensel Woodsmans are low 40's.

OOPS, forgot one more thing, what is the blade thickness ?

Claudia your going to like these. I've been shooting 250-350 for some time now. and the 300 is sweet.

Not quite 3:1... 2.5+- 1 1/8+-. Real close to what I'm use to and I know it works.  .040 +- blade thickness.

Bob now you need to talk them into making fieldpoints to match them in weight.

I'm sure someone will come up with the FP. A judo is going to be a problem for me, That what I do most of my practice with...

Zikes what a warhead!  I like it!

I think such a head would need a special license, or registering with NASA or something.
