Changes at RAD - Broadheads

[D-Rock425]

I sent rad a text he should hopefully chime in shortly.  I don't want to give out the wrong info.

One collar per head, sounds like you got a bonus pack. How many lines are on the collar one or two? I believe the vented blades use a two ring collar and the solid a one ring collar.

[RadSav]

There should be only one collar per MadMan ferrule.  Some of the early 5 packs had six collars since we already had the collars three to a box so we sent two boxes.

The 2015 MadMan LPS used a 12 grain collar.  It was identified by a single ring around the exterior looking like two even though it was a single collar.  The 2016 MadMan LPS uses a 15 grain collar.  This collar is identified by two exterior rings so it looks like three collars even though it is only a single one.

Only time I know that we ever sent two different collars in a package was the DelMastro LPV100.  The Low Profile DelMastro uses a titanium 6 grain collar.  We had trouble getting those in stock.  So some of the early packaging included a 2 grain and a 4 grain collar.  All other broadheads in the line should only have a single collar.  Though each different collar does have a unique marking to identify it's weight.

Hope that helps

L-R = 10 grain, 12 grain, 15 grain and 18 grain

Not all sizes were available when original photos were taken for the website.

Ok thanks got it. They are all together tight so they look like 2 seperate ones. That picture helps. Thanks all.

Probably the most anticipated release for RAD, Inc. in 2017 is the new 100% stainless RIVAL 125. This head will be available in two blade styles - HPV (High Profile Vented / DelMastro) and LPS (Low Profile Solid / VanDyke). The ferrule is a perfect marraige between the Ti-Con and the Titanium Signature profiles yet is turned from solid stainless bar.

The Rival 125 gives all the accuracy you have come to expect from the Titanium Signature heads but with a shorter profile and a BIG savings in price.

As always, there are zero tools required to assemble or replace blades in any RAD Broadhead styles.

MSRP: 39.99/3pk
 Expected Availability: March 1, 2017

New 125 grain 4 blade Ultra-Con coming in March this year!

Our #1 requested item for 2017 was a 125 grain 4 blade. This head will use the same SST blade as the Ti-Con 100. Super-Sharp, easy blade replacement, Double Scalloped point, incredible durability, 1-1/8" cut diameter!

MSRP: 39.99/5pk

This year the Ultra-Con 125 will be available in three different configurations - 4 blade, 3 blade "SC" (standard carbon) and 3 blade "X" (crossbow).

Will the RIVAL have the same cutting diameter as the Ti Signatures? I assume it will take the same blades?

[RadSav]

Will the RIVAL have the same cutting diameter as the Ti Signatures? I assume it will take the same blades?

Yes, same blades, same cutting diameter.

I am in the early stages of trying to make a new blade that will allow us to make a Rival 100 grain without losing the integrity/durability of the 125 grain.  There is a chance, if my theories become reality, that the 100 grain will have a single blade choice that splits the difference in diameter between the DelMastro and VanDyke profile.  But we have a long road ahead before that theory can be tested.

For 2017 we will be teaming up with Phelps Quality Game Calls to help promote what is Jason Phelps head - The Rival 125!  We have a new color scheme for the Rival and the new cards will show the Phelps logo.  New cards have gone through a number of changes since we first tested this head.  This has delayed the initial offering date to March 1st.  We had some sample packs made for the ATA show that show the new colors (see picture).  The cards will have a similar theme.

I am really excited about this head.  Testing has shown it to be nearly as tough as the Ti-Con, equal flight to the Titanium Signature series, and devastating on animals.  Plus, I personally believe more archers should be shooting 125 grain broadheads to help their field performance by reaching or exceeding 12% FOC.  The great look and secure blade locking of this head should help encourage the use of this 125 grain head for those who suffer with field arrow stability issues.

And the $39.99/3 pack price will be $20 less than it's titanium brothers and sisters.  That's a big difference when setting up a new dozen for your next big elk or deer hunt.

Keep following RAD and Phelps Quality Game Calls sites over the next month.  We both will be doing some sample giveaways in the following weeks as well as some Free Packages once the cards show up at the door!!!

We are excited about the new RIVAL!!!  It's obvious from the success we've had with the titanium signature the RAD heads are deadly. When I started a conversation with Bryan about getting a stainless steel ferrule and a little shorter nose using the same blades the Rival125 was born.  All of our testing has given us confidence this head will perform.

That's a gnarly looking head.

Looks great, what's the length?
