I bought six of these used broad heads a couple of years ago before I knew much about them and just wondering if anyone has any idea who made them and any pros and big cons. They were originally 125 gr., the cutting edge is 2.5 inches long and it is 1-3/8 inches across.

The points were like a needle. I replaced the original aluminum adapters with 125 gr. still to up the weight to closer to 225 gr. and put a small tanto edge on the point. Probably should make it slightly larger.


Sorry about the slight blur. The phone camera seemed to focus on the decking boards instead of the broad head.

Just curious.

If I'm not mistaken, those are 2-blade Delta Snuffers.

They look like Snuffers to me too. I bought some off the site here a few weeks ago that look just like these and they're Snuffers.

Yep Delta 2 blade snuffers. I did not care for the ones I tried. Mostly because I was challenged when it came sharpening them back then
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Thanks guys. It seems that a lot of people like snuffers but they may be referring to 3 blade ones.

Canyon - you are sure right about being hard to sharpen. I finally got mine shaving sharp but it was MUCH harder to do that than to sharpen any of my knives to that level of keenness.

I was concerned about there flight, being two bladed but shot several mixed groups and they group right with my field tips. Points did bend awful easy until I put the tanto point on them.

Sure looks like Jason is correct.  Look at page 76 of Wades 1972 - 2002 book.  1991 2 blade round vent 108 grain snuffer.
