Anyone know what type of head this is? I was thinking it may be a Hills Hornet but they have 2 holes in the ferrule like a bodkin. Thank you.

Hills Hornet is the shiny one in its pix. Stamped "HH".

These are unmarked. I believe there were 2blade and 3blade hills hornets.

The early broadheads were drilled to pin to the wood shaft. Could be a Hills Hornet 3 blade, but there were other companies involved in BH making back then.

That is a Hi-Precision. Looks like it might be the 7 1/2" degree ferrule taper. Bob

as Bob mentioned your broadhead is a Hi-Precision I think its a 1956 5 degree ferrule no H stamped on the ferrule and no glue holes bd

Thanks guys. They were mounted on some old cedars I picked up.

there are about 17 different 2 & 3 blade Hills Hornets, and 14 different Hi-Precision heads.

None of the Hill's Hornets have holes in the ferrule...Bod-Kin has holes in the ferrule. The holes in the Bod-kin was to let excess glue out. Some early two blade heads like Ace had a hole to allow for a pin.

The head pictured by 2nocks is around 1956, 5/16" 2 glue holes, 7 deg ferrule.

The glue holes were very hard to see in the photo...I had to move my screen around a bit to see them.

Although from the picture it is very difficult to if it is a 5 deg or 7 deg.

the 5 degree ferrule ???? please note the difference in the way the ferrules are formed bd

From: raghorn
Date: 23-Jul-14




bd... There is a 7deg 5/16' listed in the ABCC master list, and it is formed the same as the 5 deg. The author does not mind using his book like this?

I'll keep looking for the correct info.Nope he does not mind at all or let me say when I asked him he did not mind at all.Not always but normaly the guide will help with the correct info about a broadhead in most cases bd

Thanks BD. Seems to look most similar to the second head in from the left on the 5 deg pic. #631,000. But no "H" stamped on head.
