To Shawn,

That is the best damn apology I have ever heard in my life!!! You had several legitimate reasons for delay. Heck, I don't even shoot grizzly's, but your explanation was spot on!!!!!

Hi all,
I don't recall if this is my first post here or not (been an avid reader for some time and finally joined this past year), but I too have been a huge fan of Grizzly broadheads, ever since reading Dr Ashby's reports. Anyway, like many here, I was starting to think the few Grizzly and even fewer El Grande heads I had were all I would ever get. I finally found mention of Zipper Bows acquisition of these fine broadheads recently on another site and contacted Bill to see if this was true. Even though he's probably busier than a one-armed paper hanger, he took the time to reply back with answers to questions I posed. Since it's now January and he freely gave me this info I presume I won't be spoiling anything by passing on what I learned from him. So, here's what he passed on to me.

Q: I've been trying to find Grizzly El Grande broadheads for quite some time and just read on a trad site that you recently bought the company. If so, and I do hope so, I would like to know when Grizzly and Grizzly El Grande broadheads will be available again, if you can provide that info.
A: We will have 200 grain Kodiak (formerly called El Grande) broadheads by the beginning of Feb. We will have both left and right bevel.

Q: Besides the 200 grain Kodiak are you going to
produce any other weight Kodiak broadheads, such as the 160 grain that was in the El Grande line-up? Also, will the "regular" Grizzly heads be
in your line-up of broadheads? And lastly, do you have a price structure for these broadheads?
A: We will also have the regular Grizzly's. The weight on some of them have changed because of the improved grind. The 160 grain Kodiak was dropped because I was told there was not a lot of interest in it. IF that does not turn out to be the case I will gladly bring it back. Regular Grizzly's are $32.95/ 6 pack, the Kodiak's are $34.95/6 pack.

So, there you have it guys. I can't wait to get my hands on these new Grizzly and Kodiak heads. Many thanks to Bill for getting them going again.

"The 160 grain Kodiak was dropped" .. sure hope them bring it back .. that's the heads I've used for years. The 200 is just to heavy for my set up. :(

We will have broadheads at Kalamazoo.

I'm hoping the 160 grain Kodiak makes it back too as that BH, with a 45 grain aluminum screw-on adapter, works out great - perfect spine match and arrow flight - with my 29" Gold Tip Velocity XT-300 shafts. That combo gives me right at 500 grain weight total with almost 21% FOC. I think I could even push the envelope a little and use 75 grain steel adapters and not be much past optimal spine match.
