Title: How many broadheads do you have?
Post by: Mint on July 10, 2017, 09:26:00 AM
I was cleaning up my garage and found a bunch of broad heads that I used in the past and was amazed at how many I have.

I've been using the palmer extreme cut and muzzy phantom broadheads for the past five years and some odds and ends that I had in my broadhead carrier which were a woodsman or two, two snuffers, a couple of razorcaps and a few grizzlies.  

I knew I had a stash in my garage but it was buried under all kinds of crap. Finally cleaned up and found 20 160gr grizzly glue ons, 10 125gr grizzly glue ons, 6 stos glue ons, 4 zwicky deltas, 5 zwicky 4 blades, 6 razorcaps, 6 125gr phantoms, 8 200gr phantoms. 8 snuffers, 10 woodsmans and 6 two blades I don't know who makes them.

Anybody else build up a collection without trying over the years? lol

Most of us have more broadheads than we are willing to admit ( or let the wife know about). One of the joys of shooting is trying new stuff out.   Can you post a pic of those ( I don't know who) heads ?

Right now I have 60 completed arrows with broadheads, I do not know how many are in the broadhead drawer.  I gave out two dozen arrows last year with broadheads, Ribtecs, and another 2 dozen with blunts and target points.  I could do that this year again and still not put a dent in my stash, but I think everyone is already geared up for the coming year or two, so I will not be buying anymore arrow making supplies for a while. My wife uses Zwicky Eskimos, I only have 11 of those.  The reality is that if I had the arrow spines that matched them for myself the only heads that I would need would be Eskimos, but I am like a kid a candy shop, so I have a variety of three to one heads.

I have at least 300, but wouldn't be surprised if the actual number was closer to 500.  But I also just bought 13 dozen shafts to go with the other 20 or so dozen I have around.  Things aren't getting any cheaper, I'm stocking up now while I can afford to.

0 thus far!

But I am only four months into my journey. Still a long way to go before I get to this point.

I've gathered quite an assortment in drawers over the years.  I don't collect them and don't even consider using any other than my Helix.

I buy a set of 3 every now and then of a model that seems interesting. The set I have but have never used that is the most intriguing is the VPA 3-blade.  I have some of the Grizzlies that are modeled after the German Kinetics (I recall).  That would be the 2-blade I'd use if I tried something other than the Helix.

I don't know for sure but not enough! LOL

I love the VPA 3 blades, worked flawlessly last year.

I counted over 600 a few months back  when I "tried" to organize. And Iv bought more since...

Most are vintage and come with other purchases, but in my crazy mind I think I'll use them all for something hahaha
Title: Re: How many broadheads do you have?
Post by: bucknut on July 10, 2017, 10:25:00 PM
More than most and apparently a lot less than some. Prob 75-100 never counted. If I don't know how many I have I can't say I have too many.
Title: Re: How many broadheads do you have?
Post by: monterey on July 10, 2017, 10:44:00 PM
I don't have many.  Maybe 60.  Includes:

190 ribtek
145 ribtek
125 Magnus
Bear greenies
Bear stainless
Hilbres
Bodkins (large and small)
MA3s
Some Hoyt bow bullets
Some ????? Four blades

And, when I find out which grandkid made off with my Ace 145s I'm gonna get em back?

The only ones I use any more are the 190 Ribbies.

Handed out two dozen BHs last year to help out several new trad archers.

Still have a nice inventory.

I have about 300 Razorheads a bunch of Woodsmen some Snuffers,and seven
Simmons Tiger Sharks, I bought 6 and found one someone else had lost on a ranch in Texas that I was told had not been hunted that year that I was the first one in there ha . I bought 3 VPA custom heads and two are broke and one unscrewed some wheres in a Javelina and was lost. Lots of odds and ends I've collected over the years  . I gave away most of my two blades I use mainly the Woodsmen. I've always been fascinated with broadheads.

Can we go by weight-- I probably have 10 pounds....
Title: Re: How many broadheads do you have?
Post by: Joey Ward on July 11, 2017, 12:29:00 PM
Not sure.....less than 10 though.

A few 160 grain Snuffers, a couple of old Woodsmen, a couple a Zwickey Eskimos.

I don't think I have one now that's not made at least one kill. I have one Snuffer that I know has made 7 kills.  

I guess when I get down to two heads or so, I may order another half dozen. Been wanting to try those Abowyer single bevel heads anyway.     :)

Post by: Carpdaddy on July 11, 2017, 01:46:00 PM
More than I will ever use! But I doubt I will quit buying them. Bought a set of six and another set of three in the last couple months. Is there a cure?
Title: Re: How many broadheads do you have?
Post by: elkhunter45 on July 12, 2017, 12:28:00 PM
I have two dozen new Zwickey Eskimo's and a dozen mix of Magnus Classic's and Zephyr's.

I have a buddy that literally has 3/4 full drawer of old Bear Razorheads.  Drawer is probably 8" x 10" x 12" in size.  He says he NOW has all he will ever need.

Probably too many, unless we are invaded and I run out of boolettes.

This is the unknown broadhead, I bought it in the early nineties so I'm sure someone knows who made it.
