Changing up broadheads for next year
« on: November 03, 2021, 03:27:18 PM »
Going to be upgrading my broadheads next year but I can't seem to find a head that checks all the boxes for me. Here's what I'm looking for -

solid
two blade with bleeders
quality stainless like an SV30
single bevel
standard threads
1/2 -3/4 in bleeders


anyone make this?

Not sure on the quality of the steel but I think the newer Kudu's check most of those boxes. I used to run the original Kudu's (no bleeder), they flew like darts with almost zero tuning, but I had terrible blood trails. I took 4 animals with them and none went past 100 yards, just zero blood trail to follow.

Sounds like the new Iron Will single bevels would check most if not all your boxes. Not exactly a stainless steel, but good quality tool steel.

everyone in my hunting circle runs the iron wills. Although the steel they use is superior to anything out there, the corrosion and rusting is a no-go for me

ive had IWs riding in my quiver for 3 seasons now (minus the 3 that have blown through elk), no real rust or corrosion if you take 3 minutes a year to oil.  Worth it for the product.

Call me lazy without calling me lazy, ha! Trust me, we take very good care of  our stuff and oil regularly but it doesn't make much of a difference, hence the stainless check

well, to meet your requirements you will have to make the broad heads yourself.  The IWs are the only ones that will come as close to all your requirements but not meet them that I know of.

The Ashby broadheads they featured on a meateater podcast last summer really intrigue me. I'm going to check those out, I don't think they had the bleeders but everything else.

Those are real nice heads but it would be hard for me to forgo the bleeders. When I started looking for something that checked all these boxes I was surprised that something didn't just pop up right away; seems like a reasonable checklist
