Now that the cards will be here today we can start planning a 2015 MadMan BLOWOUT.  The last shipment of MadMan ferrules we had run by the outside vendor were suppose to be the 2016 model.  But, as luck would have it they ran over 1,000 ferrules in the 2015 configuration.  Darren and I will have a meeting today trying to figure out how dirty we can get so our Hunt-WA blood brothers can get a rockin' deal!

If you are looking for a solid head without spending too much change...this could be the deal!!  I'll post up the price and configurations this weekend.  Be sure to "tag" the page so you don't miss out!

Three blade grey ferrules.  The Australians bought every single 4 blade I had last month.

Just saw this thread for the first time.
Congrats to you Radsav for the expansion of your business. It's good to see you're going to these lengths to ensure a quality product.

Man!  It is tough finding a large U-Haul on short notice this time of year.  But, extras are on their way to off-site storage now.  Never thought I would cherish the day I was in meetings with attorneys.  But I missed out on hand stacking all those into the truck...Love my new attorney! :chuckle: :chuckle:

I tried to take pictures that do these new cards justice.  Just can't seem to capture the POP with my cell phone pics.  They look great!  Much better than expected, which is rare.  Only problem is that the new carbon background looks so good I'll likely have to drop another 50K on new peep cards next year. :o  Should be ready to ship any new head by Thursday this week.

DelMastro and Triple Sec will come with nine extra blades.  MadMan will come with three extra blades (4 blade will have four extra).

Yes.  MadMan 3 blade, MadMan 4 blade, MadMan X and Ultra-Con X will all be packaged in five packs.  All titanium and Triple Sec ferruled heads will be in three packs.

We are redesigning the points on the standard Ultra-Con 100 and Ultra-Con 125 so those will not be available this year.  We are also redesigning the old Contender .020" head for release next year.  Plan is that we will have all these completed by October as part of an early 2017 release.

Is there going to be a madman 125?  I tried going back through a few threads but couldn't find it but do remember talk of 125s recently.
If not, would solid blades add a litetl weight and be an option?
Or sell me on some brass inserts and teach me how to remove my none brass inserts from my carbon express Maxima hunters and then run 100s with keeping the same foc as the 125s.

There is just not enough meat on a MadMan ferrule to get to 125 grains without a huge collar.  The longer a collar is the weaker the ferrule becomes.  We tried every conceivable way and just could not make it happen without designing a new blade.  Something we are looking at for 2017 or 2018, but at this time we can not guarantee it is going to happen.

The Ultra-Con X has ended up being such an outstanding head that we are in the process of offering it in a standard arrow configuration too.  That would give a 125 grain option in the more price sensitive category.  If you wanted that immediately we can accommodate that.

AS far as getting the inserts out of a Maxima shaft...that's a delicate undertaking.  All depends on the glue used to install.  I would be uncomfortable saying you could do it without running a risk of damaging the shaft.  Bohning Blue Stick it can be done easily, beyond that...proceed at your own risk.

As far as brass inserts go, I am not sure when or if we will have those available.  Though I do know that 3 Rivers Archery does currently sell some in 50 grain weight at a rather nice price.  They are not to the quality standard as the 38 grain ones I have made in the past.  But they are more than adequate.

I expect that to be Jason Phelps followed shortly by Carpsniper2.

I seriously doubt any physical store front retailer will carry them all in-stock.  That would be 24 different skus all from one single manufacturer.  Each shop owner and/or buyer will have their favorite configuration and likely pick and choose three or four they like best.  Of course no retailer worth a darn will ignore the demands and requests of their customers.  If one or two become popular in a specific region shops will bring it in eventually.

As much as I hate to do it, we will have an online store launched around July 1.  We have a group working on it right now and have offered incentives to get it done sooner rather than later.  We felt it important to assist the shops in creating demand while the line is young and growing.  We will start taking phone and email orders within a week, I assume.  Just waiting on the advise of our attorney and accountants on how best to legally manage adding retail sales to our existing wholesale business.

I wish the industry would accept the price needed to make everything in 5 packs.  Especially since it has demanded such large packages.  Sure has changed since the days when I started and you had options of 6 or 10 on everything.  Although back then I remember getting 10 Bear Razorheads for less than $28 at the Western Auto store.  I must be getting old!
