Another one hit out of the park Jeff !!

Similar to your 2nd gen with improvements. Considering the use (abuse) I've given the 2nd gen this model should last forever.

Bears beware.  That should let the air out of one quick.

[Blaino]

Cool idea and great execution!

Wow. Pure art!!

[Tater]

Looks like it should do the job just fine.

     Nice work.

[ethan]

Good luck Jeff!  Looking forward to the stories to come!

[Biathlonman]

Just wondering now why no one else is making broadheads with the steel glued to the inside of a carbon.  Seems much simpler then all the adapters.

Thanks for sharing, your arrow has dead bear written all over it. Good luck.

Jeff,
Wish I was going to help you skin out the bear!  Good Luck!

[jonathan creason]

That looks great!  You should forge up a couple hundred of them to sale.   :D

[Guru]

This one will be easy to mount as it fits the ID of my Bemans by just sliding in.  There won't be a need for any other insert in the shaft.  I'll probably use hot melt glue the same way I glue in regular inserts.

I just forged it out this morning.  I did a trial to get fit & spin alignment before tempering.  Everything is true so no tuning or adjusting needed.

Wow.  Very cool.  I assumed (wrongly) that there would be a poor alignment at least in one direction (up, down, left, or right) between the point of the the blade and the insert portion after forging and rolling the insert portion.   Not to any great degree of course, just enough to make it not spin perfectly true.  

SO I assumed (again wrongly :-) ) that you would grind the insert a little extra and use the "slop" to allow for a spin adjustment to true it up.

Leave it to the master...I knew you had a trick, but you didn't share it :-)

Thanks.  Good luck bear hunting.

Well after shooting some more, I felt it was a bit too heavy and too hard to easily sharpen with a file.  Broadheads need to be softer than a knife for ease of sharpening.  They don't need to be scary sharp but for a millisecond!

So I re-ground the head like I would do a double bladed knife and back in the oven.

Finished...

Team Tippit head 250gr glued in and Kevlar wrap to keep shaft from splitting.

Arrow painted all white to be able to shoot in low/evening light plus easy to see against a Black Object!
