Samurai Broadheads / Alaska Bowhunting Store

[PastorSteveHill]

Just got some new single bevel Left Wing broadheads. I had never heard of these before and went into the archery shop here and the owner did some stuff for me, free of charge. I wanted to support his store, he is a friend also.  Anyway after not charging me for about an hours worth of work, he ask me if I'd heard of or seen a broadhead from Alaskan bowhunting supply. He showed me the Samurai Broadheads.  They are single bevel and left wing (I shoot left wings) and I bought a pack from him. I also got the sharpener too..  They were very expensive but they are really a cool looking head. Almost to nice to shoot.  

 They are thick and very sharp right out the pack... I shot one head several times and it was still incredibly sharp!  I shot it a bunch more times and it was still reasonably sharp. Killing sharp for sure, but I wanted it back to really sharp.  I used the tool and within a few mins. it was as good as new!  

As for how they fly? Well I shot it from 20 yrds and the first shot was dead center 12 ring.. Every one flew good!  

I like it so far. Now if I can see what kind of blood trail it leaves...

I really like it because I shoot a longbow in the upper 40's....  Should be fun..

Anyone else used them?   These are the 150 gr. batch...

They've got a great reputation.

Wow! Thirty bucks each! Would definitely have a "deep hook" grip on my string. Oh Santa... really I can explain.

Just bought some myself.  I wanted to try a single bevel head that came sharp outa the package.  They are expensive but I think well worth it.  Call Ed at ABS and he can tell you all about the heads and what he does to get them sharp.  And like Steve....I shot one into a target a few times and hit it on a leather strop a few times and it was hair-shaving sharp again.

Congradulations Steve,
                 They are excellent broadheads. If you take care of them they will last you for years to come, more than making up for the price. I shoot the 300gr Ashby broadheads and they are like a fine knife. They sharpen easy, stay sharp and are nearly indestructable. You made a fine choice. I have six and I look forward to years of service out of them. One of them has killed 11 wild pigs and still looks like new. I used to make Zwickeys last for a couple of years these could well last forever. You won't regret it.

Well you could gut and skin them with these.

I have three of the 150 as well.  They are the best balanced head I have ever spun.  I just strop them and they shave hair.  Have yet to use them on any animal.

Pastor Hill just curious as to what tool you bought to get them sharp?

[Horne Shooter]

StripStrike talked me into buying some today.  Expensive...sure but compared to the time and money I put into this hobby, it's not so much.  If I ever have the whitetail of a lifetime in front of me at 15 yards, 25 dollars worth of broadhead will seem like a real bargain.

[Stripstrike1]

Amen Paul!

[Gerardo]

There are several options which does everyone consider suitable for deer?

[varmint101]

Looks neat and all but for nearly $30 a head I can still kill whitetail deer just fine with a Woodsman.

They sound like a great head. Good luck with'm.

Do you guys no what the cut diameter is? They are really good looking heads

[Bill Tell]

I measured mine and it is 1 and 1/8th of an inch.

[2Knives]

VERY NICE looking heads!
Kinda spendy though, I need to be a better shot before I drop that much coin on B'heads!

[longbow1]

Awesome broadheads, I shoot them exclusively now. I shoot the 175 & 200 grain models.

[MikeW]

I have 3 of the Ashby's. You have to have one in your hands to appreciate the quality of these heads.

I wish they would make it in a 150 grain glue on or a 200 grain screw in.

[Robhood23]

Wow and to think they used to actually kill deer with stone points!
