Maybe Whackmaster will let you shoot his bow one of these days.  Then you will think twice about your commitment to Hoyt.  Speed and shootability is one heck of a combination.  Neither of which seem too high on the Hoyt priority list. :chuckle:

All kidding aside MLB has been vital to the testing of our Ti-Con lineup.  Three deer or four?  two buffalo, one watusie and that fantastic elk. Oh, and I believe along with his brother they killed at least a dozen rocks at $50 a whack :tung:  That's dang good for someone who doesn't do this type of thing for a living. :tup:



Can only imagine how good it could have been if he were shooting a Bowtech or a Bear.  Might have been able to add that Washington elk to the list :o

Looking good Radsav ... I am liking how you designed these heads ... being an OLD Savora fan back in the day I must say those Savoras have my attention ...you know how hard that is to say since I have shot Wasp for the majority of my hunting career  :chuckle: :chuckle:  I think BH45 maybe in for a change  :yike: :chuckle: :chuckle: :tup: :archery_smiley:

Those broadheads look great.  I have been shooting shuttle ts the past two years with no complaints other than once they hit bone, the feral twists and the head can't be used again; happened on both bull elk I shot the past two years with them.

Will your heads be reusable after shooting through say a scapula on an elk or after center punching a rib?

Also, did you happen to see how Martin was doing at the ATA?  I heard the podcast they did with Peterson's Bowhunting Radio and I was pretty impressed with the vision of the guy they have running the show over there now.  Any info you can add?

Again, great looking broadheads.  Any idea of the price range?

I can guarantee the Titanium models won't twist.  You'd probably break one and the insert before getting it to twist.  They will have a lifetime guarantee on the Ti ferrule!  The aluminum models are proving to be dang tough as well.

I'm a little disappointed in the price I'm having to ask.  I did not release all the heads in the works as I'm hoping to solve the cost problem this year.  We set MAP pricing at $53.99 for all Titanium heads, $39.99 for all Triple Sec heads (pictures to come) and $32.99 on all MadMan heads (Also have pictures to follow).  That is for 3 packs. 

Those prices allow a dealer to actually make some money as broadheads of late have been almost a lost leader for many small shops.  So I expect a lot of retailers to sell below those prices.  I'm not making much and I'm not real happy about the cost to consumers.  But, business is expensive these days and we cut no corners on the designs.  I am hoping to hit $29.99 or less with the heads I've yet to release without going to China for the ferrules.

I did not see Martin at the show.  Wasn't even sure if they made it or not.  I am please in the direction things are going over there.  IMO there still needs to be some more internal changes, but I expect they will grow into those decisions slowly.
