I just received some of these Deadhead look a likes called the Buck Dreaded Head. I've heard of them for the past few years, but never followed up on placing an order. Service was excellent and fast. Quality seems first rate to me. Here's a couple pics of mine and also a pic comparing an original Deadhead with the Dreaded Head. The Deadhead is the one on the left with the adaptor.

Let us know if they whisle in flight. Seems to me way back when I tried the Deadheads and they whistled.

I'd have to ask someone as my hearing is pretty bad, especially for high range sounds.

I recall reading Ashby's report and the Deadhead was one of the toughest heads he tested on the African big game. Seems I remember it being as tough as the Grizzly, but didn't penetrate bone quite as well. Still, pretty impressive.

Didn't know they were out there. Nice looking head.

The whistling (if present) can usually be cured by taking a file to the inside edges of the vents.

Have you sharpened one yet. How's the temper?

Mounting them horizontal with a full helical wrap eliminated any whistling I had but I'll store away Charlie's advice for future reference.

I didn't know anyone was making a "look a like". They look good!

Seen him selling them at some shoots.  I need to become a better hunter so I can buy more broadheads.

All of their heads are crafted out of 10-95 steel. I have not sharpened one yet, but I did place one on a wooden shaft and it spun perfectly straight. The first pic shows their other models, including a copy of the razorhead. Pretty cool stuff.

Do they have a website available? If so, what is it?

Just my luck, I buy a dozen new Herters four blades and then these come out.  I am down to only four Deadheads.
