I have been shooting the same broadheads for years and have been out of touch with the newest and latest. Thought about upgrading and ran across 3, single bevel broadheads for $125, say what!
Does anyone drop that kind of money for this type of broadhead? My old Zwicky Deltas and original Woodsmans look better all the time.

Old news Eric. Some have the wherewithal and can drop that kind of change. I'm not one of them..thank goodness. My broadheads this year were gifted by a gentleman here on the LW. They were part of his dad's inventory left over from the 60's. I wouldn't sell those particular heads for that money...they have too much meaning to me. Money is no object nowadays, or so it seems. I hope they are saving for their old age though. ))

I can afford $125/3 pack broadheads and am here to tell you it will never happen. The word "best" is a matter for opinion and perception only, it can't be quantified. The heads I'm using this year are $20/3pk and have a perfect track record for me and thousands of others over more decades than I've been alive......."there's one born every minute". More like every ten seconds these days.

Those high prices aren't aimed at the people that won't spend that much on an item. Some people like to say that they spent this much on this or that. Many of us think that it is stupid to spend that much on something, but those that have the money or the inclination to spend like that are certainly welcome to spend their own money however they like. I would rather see someone who has that kind of money to waste give something to someone who needs it, but that's just me. A $40+ BH won't kill an animal any deader than a ~$10 BH. ;~)

Most of your compound shooters have arrows that are 10 dollars apiece and broadheads that are at least another ten dollars. That's 20 bucks a arrow and that's probally figuring cheap. I'm using 50 year old Bear greenies that were free. I figure I have about $4 dollars a arrow total cost, it would be more if I had to buy broadheads.

Hey Camodave, I was tooling west on 43 outside of Grand Prairie last June and a couple of those kids you were talking about from the oil fields pasted me in a new Shelby Mustang 500 just covered with dirt and mud.

You guys need to understand that these broadheads are heat seeking, game carrying, self sharpening and have cup holders. Yeah, even if I hit the lotto there are just some things I will not buy. $44 for a six pack of Woodsman broadheads. In my opinion that's a deal. The 3 pack for almost the same price is a bit steep for me. I bought the pack 2 years ago and have the same ones in my quiver and have taken 4 deer with them. Just run them through the file and stone and back into the quiver they go. My arrows are a bit costly but they pay for themselves in the long run. Heavy Hunters. I was at a shoot in March and took a shot at a steel target, missed the opening and my arrow bounced off it as it the shot was on a rewind. Seriously! It was hilarious. It bounced right off with the only damage was a popped out nock. I think with that with a price like $125 for broadheads I'm more likely to miss, fearing of a lost hunting arrow the tendency to peek will be prevailant in order to see where my arrow will rest. Imagine missing and losing an almost $50 arrow? I'd clear the forest ground as if it had been nuked looking for my arrow.

I've got enough old broadheads that I hope to not have to buy any for quite awhile. Most of mine were either given to me or acquired through trades. I'm using older grizzlies for deer, I have some bear greenies for a chance coyote, and I have some ribteks for beavers. Good heads all.

Will, I am a retired welder. To purchase a one ton truck then rig it out with a welding machine, oxygen/acetylene cutting rig etc.. to work pipelines, then maintain and put fuel in it is a monumental expense. On top of that if you are not staying in a hotel constantly, you are dragging around a travel trailer and trying to figure out where there is an RV park near where you are working, and you are constantly moving. At work you are laying in the dirt under the pipe to weld the bottom half with red hot sparks constantly, slowly burning up your clothes and you. When the weather is too adverse (like when it's raining)you're not working. Factor all this in and those wages are nothing to "laugh out loud" about, trust me.

Very true Shade. I spend money on things I shouldn't and glad I can! I have a good buisness and can afford things most of the time. I use Stos's, Bears,Zwickeys, Ace but have expesive heads also but none over 90.00. I took some Bear hunting with me and maybe I should have used them? I used the bears for the bear.
People make things and then know that others will buy them. The ones paying this kinda money is because they want them usally not because they are the best they just want to try them.
Someone who doesn't know the differance I would think is more likley not to get them because they can't afford them.
Even if they could afford them theres others who won't spend the money on them anyways.
Maybe your going on a special hunt and you want reconition with this head or this or that arrow? Just a thought?
So many things out there and variables and whats not right to most that are sickning.
Why begrudge someone else with what they want to buy because you don't or won't or cann't.
BTW has this BH even been named? Interested to hear about the name and read up on them if for nothing more than a laugh.
There are some who gross 10.00 per minute. Who knows.LOL

Witherstick do you ever take the wife, kids, maybe their spouses out for dinner and drop $500 or $1000 on a real nice dinner? Ever buy the wife something special just because? Buy yourself a really nice tie or pair of shoes? Is that stupid to buy nice things with earned money? If you haven't then you real don't make the jack you claim. Stating that buying nice things is stupid means you don't make the cash or its not your jack to spend. I've got some Toughheads (not sure what they cost) but mostly shoot Mangus. Its just what I like but that's me. Calling folks stupid that buy what they want and can afford? That's dumb. These are same guys that make snide comments about the lady in the Mercedes or the couple that live in the 5 million dollar house on the lake. Are you that guy?

Hey Shade I'm just tired of the haters on here and trust me I can back my words. If guys don't want to buy the stuff great but to get on the internet and bitch about it is useless. What are they looking for, affirmation from like souls? Geez, type some stories about the hunt you had and your success like they do on the Big game forum. Oh that's right, most of the guys on here don't hunt much beyond their back door so guess what and when someone does post a kill the guys that bitch the most don't comment. Leatherwall has a combative post ever other title. Pathetic negative jerks live here. The mods should tighten the screws like Trad Gang. This used to be a good place for archery insight but its not now. I spend more time on the big game forum where they really hunt. Even if it is with a compound.

Well, I admit I am a cheapskate, My osage bow cost me about a buck and a half for string material, I cut my own trees for staves. I have been making cane arrows lately that cost me nothing except for the money spent on points. I collect wild turkey feathers from my friends and cane from some land I hunt, more freebies.
If broadheads don't come 6 in a pack for less than $30 they are too expensive for me, not because I can't afford them, which I can, I don't waste money on frivolous things.

There are a bunch of great broadheads for a third of that price. I remember when I bought my new black widow all the comments I heard from guys at shoots about how expensive they are. Like I said, different strokes for different folks.

Have your daughter own a show horse, that $125 for broadheads will look like child's play!

Whoa! You're right about the horse. I had three daughters. At least the broadhead doesn't have to eat and have vet calls during the off season. Of course, one of my daughters is a veterinarian now. 3Rivers has the "Grizzlystik Ashby". Don't know about others right now. Skeet

Killinstuff... Truthfully i do have to agree with you. There is a lot of bashing on here at times. Possibly i'm guilty as charged.
Sometimes we can be a little to opinionated. I've been known to work the latest and greatest crowd over pretty hard.
But my best hunting companions are compound shooters. All top notch hunters. I have always felt the character of the man makes the person, not his equip.
The problem with internet is you only see the print, not the man typing it. And sometimes we are to quick to type before we think.

There are cars that sell for over $100,000. Why would anyone spend that much money for a car when you could get a used Yugo for less!

$800 for a custom bow?!?
$150 for a leather quiver?!?
$200 for a knife?!?
Guilty as charged to all of the above, with no regrets whatsoever.

Even if I could, and I can, there is no way I would spend that kind of cash for a single bevel broadhead - EVER.

David, in that case I can send you 3 double bevel heads for the same 3/$125.00 super special bargain price. If you aren't completely satisfied I'll give you a full refund minus $49.99 in re-stocking fees. Jim

Mike, in my reply, it is an attempt at humor but in the real world some on-line businesses charge a "re-stocking" fee when you return an item. It usually is enough to cover the actual mailing cost and a bit more.

Oh. Killinstuff, not too far from me maybe. I am near the Indiana Dunes State Park. As far as buying expensive broadheads, people do it because "they can". Not a thing wrong with that. It provides jobs for other people to make money. Skeet

Sure I know where you are and spent some time there. I had some cell tower around there, one on the north side of 94 at the weigh station and down 94, that cell tower that is just 40 feet off the highway on the south side? That was mine. You'll spot them easy next time you have drive 94.

Spot them is right. I live 3/4 mi south of the scales. I hunt here. And would you believe my buddy (Jim) and I drive by the cell tower on the north of 94 to get the property he hunts. Skeet

Back when the Silver flames came out, I heard the same kinda talk about over priced etc.. Well I got some for my wife and I can tell you that these heads made a huge difference for her. Deer and pigs couldn't hold an arrow when they carried these heads, whereas before using them, she never got a pass through. It is what it is.
Those heads were nearly $100. for three and worth every penny in her world. Me?...Dont need them myself, so I wouldn't spend that for my set up.

I love these $ threads. I wonder if any of you that refuse to spend more than $0.50 on a broadhead have bought more than one or two bows? If so, you have splurged on something that you enjoy that is completely unneccessary.
Gas used to be $0.15/gallon, bet some of you remember that too, huh.
The way I look at it, anything I can steal away from my wife's starbucks and haircut fund is money well spent haha. Not that I don't love giving her nice things, just saying I could think of worse things to spend $125 on...

These heads are designed to package with their arrow components for killing the African Dangerous Seven with archery tackle. I cannot afford 50k to shoot a bull elephant with a stickbow, but for the guys that can and do, these particular broadheads, along with the companies arrow components, always tend to fall at the top of the short list recommended by the professionals. As example, I know of one elephant and one hippo killed with an Eclipse, but this forged head has been used to kill all of the Dangerous Seven, and records show this head was used to kill 20 elephant, 100+ Cape buffalo, and 40+ Asiatic water buffalo in the last couple hunting seasons alone. So, it may currently be the singular most popular proven choice for that task.
Taking that out of context to call the above hunters stupid and to proclaim a budget stamped broadhead as a better choice is a bit silly to me. Keep it in context. A bolt action 30-06 shooting green box core-lokt would probably be a more appropriate choice for killing deer than would be a high end PH 470 NE double. But, if the task at hand was for a PH to execute a frontal brain shot on a bull elephant, the high end 470 NE double becomes a more appropriate choice. You can certainly kill deer with authority using the 470 NE, though it would be over the top and rather eccentric. But, using the green box core-lokt on elephant would be rather unwise. Same applies with the broadheads in this discussion. Of all the expenses involved in killing a bull elephant with a stick bow, $39 for a forged dangerous game broadhead is probably a minimal expense, especially when you consider that it is an important part of the equation that cuts through and kills the beast.
Best :)
