200gn+ Glue-on Multi blade?

[robtattoo]

Does anyone make a 200gn+ glue-on broadhead? I'm looking for either a 3 or 4 blader if possible.

The bigger the better really!

Ace make a 200 grain broadhead. Abowyer make a 210 grain and a 215 grain broadhead. And STOS is coming out sometime this year with a 240 grain broadhead. But all these are 2-bladers. I don't know of any multi-blade glue-on broadheads over the 160 grain Snuffer. There's an opportunity for some clever fellow.

the ones Ben mentioned are the only one's i can think of.

how about the 300 extream 300grs iv played around with them when Dave had them at both sweats and they look great, like a woodsman on steroids
however it is not a glue on.

what weight you after?

I've got a 300 extreme in my box now (Thanks JC!)

I'm not really sure what I'll need Andy. I'd guess about 200 would be fine. I'm after making up a few woodies for the Bear Quest in June. I'm taking a selfbow, so using carbons seems wrong!
I have a dozen shafts that spine at 80-86# & I'm shooting a 70# bow that isn't cut in at all (no shelf, shoot off the knuckle) I know I'll need a high spine with my gorilla-drawlength, but I think a 125gn point may leave me a little stiff. I'm 99% sure I could get away with a 160 Snuffer, if needs be (I could always melt a little lead into the ferrule too...) but everyone I've spoken to recommends a multiblade for bears over a 2-blade.
I was really just wondering what else was out there.

I shoot 220 grain heads on Surewood Firs for one of my set ups.  I use either woody weights or lately I've started adding 50-75 grains point weight with a new internal footing jig for wood arrows I've been testing.  Very handy and simple and looks real clean too.

I think you'd be doing fine with a 160 Snuffer at your draw on those shafts.  You could sand the shafts down or taper the rear if you needed to reduce the spine some.

iv heard of a few guys adding weight to the front of there wood shafts by drilling them out and gluing in lead, brass or tungsten.

Another thought is to get hold of Andy lovel before you leave and ask if you can use his footing jig i saw some of the arrows he did for jane and they are great, you could foot the front of the arrow with some heavy wood , purple heart or something like that.

you going to be shooting Shaun's Osage beauty?

rob-I assume you are going to be using wood shafts, in the past I have trimmed the point taper a bit and added lead to the ferrule of 160 grain Snuffers. I usually ended up at around 185-190 grains, but with patience and judicious trimming I would imagine you could get 200 gr. I'm using carbons now and use steel adapters from 75 gr. on up with whatever weight Snuffer I need to get the arrow flying true. Mike

Rob,

For a glue on multiblade I think the 160 Snuffer is as heavy as you can get, could be wrong but do not think so. Might check out the Zephyers, they are stainless but not sure on the weights.

How about adding weight with the Woody Weights?

I think that the 160 snuffer is the heaviest glue on 3 blade I've found. One thing you may notice is that when practicing with heavy arrows out of a heavy bow is that if you shoot the same arrow with a broadhead ten shots or so you may get a wobble when you spin it as you may "tweek/twist" the blades a bit. A spinning 800 gr arrow will have a "flywheel" effect" and put a lot of side tourque on a broadhead on impact. I went to abowyer 2 blades with their thicker blades on my heavy woodies to fix this problem.
