Ashby's universe - broadheads and shafts?

[Naphtali]

I've finally exhausted my broadhead-arrow inventory. That is, I think, I hope, I have just enough for this season?? So my imperative is for subsequent seasons.

I'm current with Ed Ashby's Tradgang web page of Acrobat files. When I did an AltaVista advanced search for heavy two-bladed screw-in broadheads, I found a bunch, none of with which I have first-hand experience - no one I know uses them either. I've been using 160-grain Outback Supreme broadheads. And I find Mr. Woodward is in production?? with his mythical 220-grain all-steel Supreme that seems to have the features Ashby has tested as being beneficial. This is my fallback broadhead if American-made products cannot be recommended.

But there are several more BHs in the 190-300 grain range. Some are stainless steel. Some are all steel; some are steel with aluminum ferrules.

Doing business with Outback Archery is a crap shoot, probably because Mr. Woodward makes broadheads as a sideline. For what you get, they are exceptionally favorably priced while American and German manufacturers/resellers' broadheads are substantially more expensive - some are stratospherically priced.

I need guidance regarding the quality of the American broadheads. I'm familiar with Ashby's evaluation of Silver Flames.

A couple of years ago Ashby described a reinforced or footed carbon shaft, that he furnished his data to a shaft manufacturer. Has such a nearly indestructible shaft entered production?

The Abowyers are very popular.Glue ons with steel adaptors can make a heavy head.The new Grizzlies are much improved and come in a 200 glue on.Combine that with 75,100 or 125 gr steel adaptor.Alaska Bowhunting sells the 315 gr SS Ashby head and matching field points.

I should also have mentioned,check out Tusker Concords at Braveheart.You can get a wide variety of weights by combining glue on broadheads,different weight adaptors and different weight broadheads.You can fine tune the weights with a few small,lead shot pellets,in the nose of the broadhead ferrule or cavity of the adaptor.If you are shooting wood,you could use woody weight in cojunction with a glue on.
