Title: Trying some new heads this year.
Post by: Opportunist on August 07, 2008, 02:47:23 AM: I just purchased these from Bass pro shops. It's a Steelforce mini Titanium 100 grain head with bleeders. They were the only place I could find the titanium heads. Cabelas carries the Phat heads that are stainless. I've been using the bigger Steelforce heads for the last couple of years based on the advice of a good friend of mine Steve who's had great success with the heads. He used this head last year and was very impressed with it's performance on the bull he killed. Should be a good one, I'm a big fan of cut to the tip heads for elk.

I'll let you all know how they fly and kill!

It is
unlawful to hunt with a broadhead blade
unless the broadhead is unbarbed and
completely closed to the back end of the
blade or blades by a smooth, unbroken
surface starting at maximum blade width
forming a smooth line toward the feather

That sounds like it is only talking about the back edge of the blade, not the cutting edge. If that's the case, these would be legal.

Post by: Opportunist on August 08, 2008, 06:22:41 AM: There legal, there is nothing barbed about them, that rule refers to the back edge of the blade. They have a 1" cutting diameter. I also like the fact that the main blade is .55 thick titanium and has a steel ferrule.
