I have had these broadheads laying around for a while. They were with some arrows I bought.

Does anyone know what kind they are? Four blade.

I'll post another pic right after I put up the post.

Seems to be well constructed. No printing on it anywhere.

Thanks...I could not find very much info online about them.

They seem to me to be the kind of head where the blades would shear off in bone.

Were they in use very long? It looks like the came out in 1993.

1988 to 1992 They also made a three blade. The one you have is 1988. In 1992 they had a different locking nut.

Thanks for the info Bob! Seems you're the only person of the forum that knows about these!

I had looked for a while and good not find any info.

Looks like they were not made for very long. What was their reputation for effectiveness?

I collect broadheads and all I can tell you is that they all work and they all don't work. The Zapper worked as good as any in that time frame. It's a pretty solid head.

Yep, and alot of that depends on who tried them and what their opinion was. Most of those old modular heads did just fine when you put them where they were supposed to go.
