Title: Steelforce Broadheads.
Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on March 25, 2009, 02:32:51 PM: Anybody on here used the the Steelforce heads? Particularly the "Phat Head" or the "Titanium Bullet".

I am in the process of figuring out which heads to use for this season. I am leaning towards the Titanium 145 grain head.

just wondering why such a heavy broadhead.

When you are pulling over 80 lbs draw it's difficult to find a legal setup. Shooting that heavy tip would get me legal by about 10-15 grains.

In response to Hoytss I spoke with Joe at Rainier today and he said the same, They don't fly so good.

My quest for a heavy tip that will fly continues. I might have to go with a 125 gr. I guess.

He'll have the weight you need with the performance to back it up. Don't let the price scare you away, though. These are for those who only want the best.

just a thought

Broadheads look pretty sick. I guess with new technology in bows(speed) it makes sense that companies will start to manufacture heavier broadheads.

Post by: RyanD on March 26, 2009, 02:28:50 PM: I have never shot the steelforce so I am not qualified to say much about them but I have shot Magnus Stingers for years and they are awesome. Plus they have a no questions asked lifetime warranty.

If your looking to be right at legal weight it could be something to check out, without adding too much weight to the front of your arrow.

Post by: MLBowhunting on March 30, 2009, 02:36:35 PM: yes i have used the steel force heads before and they did the job out of my recurve. I shot a cow elk with that head but the head is very weak and they break very easy. Now i use tight points just my :twocents:
