Tusker broadhead question

[V I Archer]

Thinking about trying single bevel heads this year and was looking at Tuskers.  When they say that they come unsharpened, does this mean no bevel at all, or just not hunting sharp?  How much weight will I loose putting the initial edge on the head?

They should have the bevel already, and just need to be touched up to get hunting sharp. You're not gonna take any significant weight off.

Murray, I've shot the Concordes and they come beveled but are fairly easy to sharpen. Tough, good flying heads. I got a complete pass thru on a medium black bear, breaking the off-side upper leg bone. The price is right too! Todd

Just to provide some "balance", the Tuskers I bought needed some steel taken off.  It can take some time.  If you're patient, once you put in that time, you've got a "tough as nails" super sharp broadhead.

I liken the unsharpened Tuskers to the old Grizzly heads.  You need to take some steel off with a file to set the bevel well, then they get wicked sharp and stay that way.

Good question though, as the Tuskers of days of old had no bevels at all.  They started adding bevels in the mid 2000's I think, which was also when they upped the hardness on the steel.  A corrosion resistant treatment was then added around 2009.

one heckuva tough broadhead at a working man's price tag.

When the Grizzlies had that coarse grind,I sharpened them before mounting on an adapter.After sharpening,I weighed each and used some lead shot tamped in the nose of the ferrule or cavity of the adapter to bring each to the weight I needed.You could easily lose 10 or more grains getting the bevel finished and the edge sharpened but a little tweaking can bring them to a consistent weight.

My Concoredes required quite a bit of work to get sharp(perhaps some failing on my part), but were amazing broadheads when I finally got it right.
