I was just playing around with my forge and had a slightly different idea on the line of the Ashby single bevel.  Last spring I made up some braodheads that proved to be quite strong as they are tempered a bit harder than most other heads.  They did the job on bears going 3 for 3.  I made another head a week or so ago that passed my torture test...But I was looking for something a little more dramatic    

What I did was make a single bevel grind from the mid line of the blade to the edge and then put a single bevel edge on that.  Hopefully the picture shows it better.  The head turned out to be 265 Grains that fits in a Beman ICS hunter shaft.  The head spins great and I'll add a taper at the end of the shaft.  It should really spin/torque with the LW feathers driving it.  Don't know if this is any improvement but I hope to try it on a Texas hog or javie...Doc

 

 

you are having too much fun Doc.....

Doc,
You bring an extra one and I'll help you "Field Test" them in Texas next month!!!

i did the same thing on some trade points,  i needed it to loose some weight. it worked very well i think, im not shure if it will ad anymore spin during penetration due to the already exerted force or the cutting bevel beating it to the punch.

I guess I didn't mean more spin but the bevel is certainly exagerated...maybe more torque to cut/break bone.  My Pats didn't make it to the play offs so ya gotta do something.  Plus a little mojo might help in Texas...Doc

Look forward to "test results" photos Doc.

They look good to me.

Now, I'd pay $30 each for those! Nice work Doc.

Jeff that is a VERY good idea, I think...

Can I see that straight on from the front or back?

I can't believe I am sitting here watching the Cardinals   :mad:

Looks good to me.  Your next assignment is to figure out how to make that in a glue on.  

That is one good looking head there Doc...should go great with the new knife.

Hope to see some pics of both with blood on them.

Steve, I can't get pictures to show the off set edges as the shine on the angles kinda obscures the propeller like twist to the camera.  I guess the best way I can describe it is---if you were to push it into something, the head would start to twist on it's own.  It matches the twist of LW feathers.  I'm not sure if there is any + or- thing.  But it really exaggerates that LW single bevel.  If I'm lucky enough to harvest a hog or javie, I'll definitely take some necropsy pictures...Doc

This one goes to Larry Surtees as a St Judes request project...that is if it doesn't go skipping off into the Texas sunset in a mmmiiisss    Doc

So it looks a little like an airplane wing in cross section from the center to the edge?  

I'm thinking you might need to patent that one  

Very nice work Doc I would love to see them tested in person on ya'alls hog hunt but I'll have to wait until BQ-3 to see em in action fine work Doc......bd

Doc,

Wait till you see a pic of what he is doing! So far it is looking really good.

I will try and get him to send all the donors of the heads a pic once he is done.

If you kill something with head please send him a picture of you with the animal and a short write of the hunt.

He is going to make a holder for the back to put all the photo's and write ups he gets.

Chris

Steve...Patent it    Doc

Holy cow Doc you mean like slot my Bill Sweetland forgewood yikes I'll have to think about that.bd

thats neat!

Bowdoc, I'll give you a cedar Bear arrow.  With the extra head weight, it will feel like a Sweetland!  You might be spoiled and hard pressed to go back to them Sweetland/Razorheads combos    the other Doc
