    I got em from Dr. Shane up at Clemson about 25 years ago when they were all going LITE. Just before the carbon craze came around.

    Interesting. Have you tried the screw in weights? I may have to order a pack and see how well they work.

    Those heads look to be a copy of the Simmons design.

    Kinda sorta not really. They’re a single bevel. Started out with a blade design similar to a Strickland Helix, and then went to a curved blade. Really well built heads though.

    Beman ICS hunters and Muzzy 125 3 blades. Compound and recurve.
    Tried a bunch of others with varying results. Shot 2 blades out of my longbows and recurves for several years. Great penetration and piss poor blood trails. Wide or narrow, single bevel or double didn’t matter. They never put as much blood on the ground for me as a 3 blade.

    bamboo shafts straightened with heat from a bow drill fire, quartz hand knapped chisel point broadhead held on with mastodon sinew and fletchings from California condor right wing primaries and the cock feather from a Carolina parakeet tailfeather. They shoot great from my Matthews monster

    Love the Black Eagles too. From what I could find, they make the best weight-for-spine, small diameter arrows and are very consistent.

    I can’t find a better arrow. I’ve shot fmj, axis, vaps, all the carbon express models, etc. Go one spine stiffer with a black eagle (i like rampage) and add 50gn up front. Bad medicine.

    Gold tip pro hunters. Also use GT screw in weights where needed, started out tinkering with them and 100 gr BHS and FPs to get FOC up to 15%. 395gr arrow weight. These days I just run 125gr BHs and no weights. What I've done in the past is to peruse Archerytalk and pick up used GT Pros in the classifieds when I run across any I can build to suit. Didn't take long to build up a good stock and at less than half retail cost. If you buy them when you don't need them you will never have to buy them when you do and are in a pinch.

    Bow is quiet and the arrows fly really nice.
    I just put some together just like that. 12gpi fmj, 75 grain brass insert and 125 grain head. They come out to right around 575 grains with 4 inch wrap, blazers and standard nock. Only going 255 fps but they hit hard.

    Nice.

    I just got some iron will heads (100gr) and got some of their 25gr sleeves to add some strength as well as weight.

    I've been debating on trying Iron Wills myself, they're pricey but I keep hearing great things about them. Right now I don't have any complaints with my Magnus black hornet ser razors.

    They are very pricey. I’m hoping I don’t regret them. I like the lifetime warranty and being able to resharpen the heads. Hopefully I’ll get a few years out of them.

    Personally, I think they’re WAY more broadhead than most folks need. Especially for a whitetail. If I was going on a once in a lifetime moose hunt, maybe. But between Magnus and Grizzlystick and NAP and....

    You can also get a lifetime warrantied head that you can resharpen for a hair over $10 per head with Magnus.
