Who hunts deer with bear razor heads and why

I do from time to time. Nostalgia and the romance of the history, I guess. If they were good enough for Fred... They've never failed me. Many blacktails killed with them.

I do. Why not? They have a proven record and have personally worked dang well for me of near half a century. Besides that, they made so many you can always find them. I have about a dozen around here now.

Regularly...because I own many and they get the job done on the whitetails I hunt.

In 1982 when I was 16 I bought a dozen 145gr super razorheads (stainless steel, blue paint). I lost two on Catalina Island, lost one in the East Tintic Range in Utah, broke one in a mule deer (shoulder blade hit, did not kill the deer but broke my broadhead!), and just last week I finally managed to kill a deer with one! I have 8 left.... hopefully will last me another 36 years.

I'm my own worst grammar police. ;) Love my Bear 'Razaheads' though.

In my opinion, no broad head is better than the Bear Razorhead. I have killed 74 deer with my Bear Recurve. First one Oct 2, 1955, and every one of them with the Bear Razorhead. Have never seen a reason to change or even try a different head. Sharpen and fly good and they do their job when they hit. Besides that, in the late 40's and early 50's, Fred Bear was my hero. Before he introduced his Razorheads, he sent me a couple heads that he was working on to test. Mr. Bear was a super fine guy and the Super Razorheads have a good name.

I am a two blade fan and use them without bleeders. They work just fine.

This was a 2216 Easton Leagcy with blue razorhead with bleeders.
53# Ferguson Safari.
I am leaving Monday for a PBS hunt at LBL in Kentucky. I will be shooting some old green razorheads that my friend gave me with my Wes Wallace recurve. . They shoot really well and easy to sharpen.

I still use the ( Greenies ) Bear Razorheads. I killed quite a few game animals with them, both big and small game. I use other broadheads also but the Bear Razorhead is one of my favorites. They are a great broadhead in my opinion. They're easy to sharpen and do the job. I have four dozen not on arrows at this time, and I have a bunch still on some Bear vintage arrows.

They fly to the same point of impact as my field points, easy to sharpen and have never failed me. I bought three cases of bleeder blades from a old archery shop for $5.00 per case (80 bleeder blades per case). So with 40 Bear Razorheads and 160 bleeder blades (gave a case to my hunting partner) I should be good for my remaining hunting days.

I used them a lot when I first started. I use z eskimos and deltas now, easily found and I like the triple laminated tip.

A greenie with no bleeder did the trick on this cow elk for me last week.

I assassinated my first deer with a 51# grayling green K-mag and a cedar shaft lead by an old yellow Razorhead .I have a dozen or so left. They are in a shadow box atop a deer hide backdrop.

Yes I do. Over the decades I've taken a lot of deer, hogs and javalina with them. I do use other heads at times but mostly Razorheads. And nostalgia has nothing to do with it, they fly great and kill efficiently.

I hunt with them with the bleeders. They're easy to get "scary" sharp. Been hunting with them ever since I started hunting with trad bows.

I don't but very easily could. They are one of the best heads ever and are still being used today. They worked well back then and will still today 70 years later. I have managed to collect 4 dozen of them and twice that many auxiliary blades. They sharpen easily and are almost the same profile as the venerable Zwickey Eskimo head that has made that name famous.

I use them. I have plenty of em. I have over 40 of the Greenies. and over 35 of the Stainless Razorheads. And sometimes I use other broadheads. You might say I'm broadhead poor. I like the Bear Razorhead, it flies good, is easy to sharpen, and get the job done.

I used them years ago when I first started bowhunting. I still have a few maybe 3 or 4 but they are in pretty sad shape,rusted and pitted up pretty good. I use them now if I had some that were usable.

I use them with the bleeder insert. They fly real nice. I glue mine on steel adapters. But I have to grind a slot in the adapter so the insert will fit. That's how I get my 200gr.points.
