Last RAD direct order from Nock Point was in 2007.  That is about the last time I was in the store.  Not sure if they sell any of our products anymore or not.  Their distributor supplier no doubt carries RAD and Savora products I just do not know what they stock of ours.

I do know that VanWinkles will have a care package going out tomorrow!  So they should have broadheads on the shelf by middle of next week.

I got some ti con 125 heads and i am impressed! The fit and finish is unreal! Blades are amazingly sharp as well. Greg at whitetail plus asked me to shoot one through the broadhead board. It went through it like butter (5/8 chip board). Pulled it from the target behind and it looked as new. Blades still feel razor sharp and still perfectly straight.
Cant wait to try these at distance and on a critter!

Glad to hear that these are hitting the stores!  Solid work my friend! :tup:

I think right now that would be Denton @ Rock Creek Archery in Enumscratch.

We do have two major nationwide distributors that are carrying almost the entire line.  So there could be retailers carrying the product that I do not know about.

It seems big by comparison to the other heads in the line, but it flies great.  I'd guess 80 to 90% of the animals I have taken over the past five years have been with that design.  10-15 years prior to that it was a head very similar just with an aluminum ferrule.  So that is by far our most time tested design.  The main reason I bought Savora in the first place was how well that product and blade style performed.  The Titanium 125 was the first real material and ferrule change after I took over the company.  MLBowhunting has been the Field Master with that head over the past two years!

Lots of guys interested over on archey-talk as well. Are replacement blades available for all the heads? Trying to figure out which 125 to choose.

Yes, all replacement blades are available.  I know Carpsniper just got a stock of all the blades we carry.  And most WA stores are only a couple days away from having them if they place an order.

The current 125 grain offerings both use the same blade.  Only difference between the two is the weight collar and the ferrule material.

We will have two other 125 grain heads available around the 4th of July.  They will use the HPV and LPS blades as they will be sold as the DelMastro HPV125 and the VanDyke LPS125.  D-Rock received some prototypes to test last week.  Maybe he will chime in and share how his shooting session went with them!

Curious, why titanium for the ferrule?

All the cool kids shoot Titanium!!   :IBCOOL:


Basic reason is that it allows us to use a one piece ferrule...No point to come loose allowing blades to be lost.

Other benefits are:
More rigid than aluminum so fewer bent ferrules.
Stronger so we can slim down points and maximize shoulder angles.
Machined properly it reduces friction with a super slick finish.
Salt water friendly so coastal archers don't worry about ferrules welding to inserts.
Del wanted a ferrule that was as tough an SOB as he is!  :chuckle:


I think once you get them assembled you will see that there is a level of quality in our titanium ferrules that an anodized aluminum ferrule just can not match.

sorry I've been super busy packing out bears and getting course ready at GFSC for this weekends 3-D shoot.  I did pull out my hunting bow and shoot a few times the other evening.  My bow hasn't been touched since December so it was slightly off for my liking but it was the bow not the heads I'm sure.  I only shot the 125's at 20 and 30yds so far I like what I see.  I'll probably try some 100yds stuff this weekend.
