Title: Vintage? Broadhead
Post by: Jingles on April 26, 2021, 07:57:43 PM: Ok first off has been 35+ years since I bow hunted and have decided to get back into it for several reasons and with the exception of using the old Martin cougar II BOW and Easton XX75 2217 arrows am trying to recycle all my other supplies and accessories.(yes I am a cheap skate) But can not remember what these broadheads are so could possibly get new blades. Wondering if any of the long time bow hunters on here might have the ability to ID this broadhead. I do know they were purchased back in the mid 80's

Yep, I think that’s right.

It worked back then and it will still get the job done today. :tup:

I've got them also and need blades. I started shooting them in 1983, and still haven't found a sharper blade than the old carbon blades. Man they put blood on the ground. How do I get blades?
