Terry, this may be off subject enough, you will want to take it off.  I was squirrel hunting yesterday and found this arrowhead and it made me think of this subject.  There must be a reason the Indians used such small broadheads. 

Gordon, not sure why you think your post would me removed, that's about as Trad as it gets Sir!

Also, that looks to be a bird point. Nice find!!!

Ace Standard from 52 pound Hill Style longbow.  Entrance low in front of the leg, through chest, stuck in offside leg bone.  Never did recover the BH.

Read an article once about a museum that had some bird points with blood still on them. They had it analyzed and it turned out to be deer blood. They may not leave the hole Simmons heads do, but they appear to have gotten the same results...dinner!

Entrance with Simmons Great White head

Exit in armpit with Great White

Gordon, that's one of the coolest things I've seen here. Nice find!

Single bevel Abowyer, broke his shoulder blade. Split it about 6" and took out both lungs. He still made it around 60 yards. Tough young buck. Head did a great job coming out of a 55# Stalker recurve. 17 or so yard shot.

190 grain ribtek on a large whitetail doe.

Ace Express, 160 gains with the screw in adapter.

Bear Grizzly, 45#'s.

Easton Autumn Orange 1916. 500 gr. total arrow weight.

15 yards broadside. 40 yard recovery. LOTS of blood.

I don't think I remember another Howard Hill head on here so.....62# Hill Longbow shot through both front shoulders (no bones but lots of meat).  Dressed 120 pounds, 38 steps shot from tree.  Vintage POC arrows with File sharpened and serrated Hill heads.

Awesome buddy!  Favorite thread......

Just read through this thread again and noticed there wasn't anything posted to it in 2024...

Surely we have some contributors?

This is too funny,  I was just looking through this late last week and was going to bring it to the top again,  seeing as though opening day in my neck of the woods is right around the corner 
This is a great thread and more educational than one might think if you're keeping track and taking notes.
Bring on the broadhead holes .....  for 24 and up coming 25!
