Broadhead Collector Retiring -

bhdpal · 01-14-2011, 06:51 PM

Some of you know me from my past membership in the ABCC. My name is Joe Palmere and I am from Maryland. Recently I sold my entire broadhead collection to a fellow broadhead collector, a man of integrity and an all around great guy. He is a member of BroadheadTalk and the ABCC. I don't have permisssion to mention his name but some of you know him well.

Many will ask why did you sell your collection ? It was not an easy decision. In fact it was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make in my 69 years. The reasoning was not "money" motivated. If it was I would have sold the broadheads individually or in small sets on EBAY to the highest bidder. The decision to sell was a very private and personal matter that I choose not to discuss.

The one thing I wanted most was for the entire collection to go to another broadhead collector to become part of their collection and continue the broadhead collecting tradition. I wanted the collection to go to someone who really appreciates the uniqueness, individuality, rarety and history of broadheads and their makers. But most of all I wanted the collection to go to someone who has a real love and passion for broadheads and who would enjoy the collection as much as I did by displaying it, trading, swapping and searching out those old broadheads that are still out there collecting dust in some old attic or garage. Fortunetely I found such a person, who I referred to previously and now consider him a close friend.

My Broadhead Collection consisted of Traditional Fixed Bladed Broadheads & Replacement Blade Broadheads. My Collection was originally started by me in 1950's with 14 different traditional Fixed Blade Broadheads that I dug out of trees on Archery Courses of that era or had been given by older bowhunters who became my mentors in bowhunting. Over the years my collection grew to 1,124 American Broadhead Collectors Club (ABCC) Master Listed Broadheads

My Collection consist of 458 Master Heads, 620 Multiple Duplicates (more than one trader head in addition to a Master head) Trader Heads, and 34 Single (only one duplicate trader head in addition to a Master Head) Trader Heads.

Some of the collection's oldest heads are 1927 Case Kiska, 1936 Chester Brown, 1939 Case Korrek, Case Keen 1940. There are many traditional heads from 1940-1972, including American Archery, Arrowmates, Barry Johnson, Ben Pearson. Fred Bear Big Game Bigras, Blood Trailer, Black Copperhead, Bolo, Butterfield, Cat-Claw, Chester Brown, Cobra, Crestwood, Davies, Delta Nubbins, Elburg Cheetah, Fleetwood German Kinetics, Golden Syncerous, Geroninimo, Goshawks, Herpin, Hi-Percision, Hilbre, Herters, Howard Hill, Ivanhoe, Jewell Leadford, Journeyman, M-A, Magnum, Magnus, Missile Spike, Mohawk, O A Norlund, Panther, Pioneer Game Tamers, PSE, Rib-Tek, Robin Hood, Saxon, Schissler Unknown, Shear Advantage, Simmons, Snuffers, Spiral Killers, Steinbacher, Stos, Ungus, Wasp, Weatherstone, Ropers Indian, old Bod Kins, Zwickeys, Little Shavers, etc.

The collection also includes some of the early commercial replacement blade glue-on & screw-in BHDS of the 1970's, Satellites, Savoras, Wasps, Rocky MT. etc. There are also a few Bowfishing points, BowFin, Carp Dart, Cajun Stingaree etc. There are four full length custom collector autographed arrows with broadheads in this collection and two handmade broadhead display cases,

Also included were early and contemporary publications of the American Broadhead Collectors Newsletter, Best of Broadhead Publications and a Collection of old and contemporary broadhead advertisements and identification reference material clipped from archery and bow hunting publications over my many years of collecting.

Thanks to the buyer, I am keeping my autographed Second Edition of Wade Phillips Books on Broadheads. I have highlighted all the broadheads in my collection that appear in these books. I have also highlighted the newer broadheads in this collection in my ABCC Master List. I still have a complete and fully descriptive spreadsheet type detailed inventory of each and every broadhead in my collection.

Newbies, its never too late to start collecting broadheads. Many of you younger bowhunters who want to start a collection can easily do so. You will have a tough time getting your hands on many of the early Traditional Fixed Blade Glue-On Heads, but their are still a lot of fifties and sixties broadheads around especially among the seasoned collectors and sources they will put you in contact with. Also there is no reason why you can't start a collection of the newer replacement blade, screw-in broadheads and swapping with other contemporary collectors. One of the neatest modern head that I added to my collection was the Atom Razor Ribbon. Personally, I would not use this head to hunt with but it makes a great collectors piece and probably soon to be discontinued.

A lot of Traditional Archery Dealers stock a wide assortment of present day fixed blade heads made in USA, Australia and other Countries. The German Made Silver Kinetics is one of the most well made broadheads I have seen. 3-Rivers Archery, Lancaster Archery and others are ideal sources to buy 3-6 of these broadheads and split them up between fellow collectors. Plus there are a lot of used modern broadheads just sitting in the archery tackle boxes collecting dust.
Request catalogs from these Traditional Dealers and see what they stock. Then save the ads in their catalogs as broadhead ID reference material.

Many bowhunters find out the hard way that some broadheads are not as good at bringing down game as others and retire them to the tackle box and will usually give them away just for the asking. So you newbies get involved in broadhead collecting by joining the ABCC and usinging their Broadhead ID Master list to keep track and correctly identify your broadheads. Other reference material is the many broadhead ads in hunting magazines and catalogs.

For years I tore out these ads and store them in three ring binders as pictorial reference material. Newbie Collectors buy all the Wade Phillips Broadhead Books even though you may not have many of these heads in your collection. The historical background on each broadhead and its maker is an education initself and makes for very interesting reading. I am sure there are other broadhead books that I don't know about, so get all you can and start your own broadhead reference library.

Another source for broadheads are the seasoned Collectors. I have started some newbies in collecting by giving them a few trader heads from my collection. And I know that many of my fellow collectors have done the same. Especially when you join the ABCC and attend their annual spring members meeting where many collectors display their collections and trading goes on around the clock. Newbies often walk away from this event with a lot more broadheads then they previously had.

Encourage your fellow bowhunters to start collecting in your area and I guarantee you that it will be one of the highlights of your off-season bowhunting activities.

I heard that a couple seasoned collectors are putting togethers a pictured Broadhead ID Book strickly for the modern replacement bladers and screw-ons.
When the book comes out, I will definetely buy one to add to my Wade Phillips' Books.

A few words about the American Broadhead Collectors Club and what it meant to me. I first joined the ABCC back in the 70's. I let my membership run out a couple times and my last memberahip was in 2007. Unfortunetely, due to some health problems and four major surgeries thereafter i did not rejoin the ABCC and was not involved with collecting or trading of broadheads.

The ABCC has some of the finest members of any organization. It is a true fellowship of broadhead lovers who help one another, trade broadheads and provide historical broadhead information that is not available any where else. The ABCC Newsletter & Best of Broadhead Publications are highly informative and many of the articles are entertaining. Anyone who is remotely interested in broadheads and collecting broadheads would be wise to join the ABCC and become an active member. I was proud to call myself an ABCC Member and I still have one of their early shoulder patches that I will not part with.

I will always be a broadhead collector and bowhunter in my heart. I want to personally thank the American Broadhead Collectors Club and all its Officers, Board of Directors and regular members, past and present for all the kindness, help, fellowship and my broadhead education that I experienced as a member. Every year the ABCC comes out with a new Broadhead ID Masterlist that incorporates all the new and unknown/known heads from that prior year. This is a daunting task that requires an emence amount of attention to the smallest of details that distinguish one head from another. A JOB WELL DONE!

Now I made a full recovery from my health issues, I want to devote as much time as I can bowhunting whitetail deer and Maryland's Native Sika Deer. I had to use a crossbow last season but if I can find a nice recurve bow that I can afford, I want to try to get back into Traditional, Instinctive Bowhunting. I tried out a few recurve bows at Gander Mountain's Indoor Archery Range and found that I could still shoot instinctively. But the price of their recurves was out of my reach and the 50 # was a little too heavy. I had sore back, shoulders and arms for the next week afrter shooting about 40 arrows with those recurves. Maybe I can find a used right hand Black Widow Recurve around 45#.

I hope to be an active participant on BroadheadTalk and maybe help some newbies with broadhead collecting and bowhunting in general.

Feel free to contact me and may God Bless you all.

Thank you Joe for giving this insight into your collecting and collection. You are correct about books on the more modern screw-in heads. I just finished a book about 7 months ago on all of the modern screw-in mechanical broadheads. Bob Wolter is currently working on a book of all of the other screw-in fixed blade heads and I am helping him with photos of many of the heads he does not have. This book is still probably at least six months away, but will be the final addition to documenting almost all of the heads that are on the Master List.

Glad that you are staying involved and I am very happy to hear the thoughts of a long time collector.

I am hoping to get 6 of the newsletters from the fellow who got your collection and trade him for several years of newsletters from the same era. Those six issues will give me a complete set of all of the clubs newsletters from the start of the club to the present. If I can get them I will never forget who they came from.

Hi Big Boar;

Great to hear from another collector. You are doing us all a great service with the ID Reference, Makers & Photos books on all of the modern screw-in mechanical broadheads. Kudos to Bob Wolter for taking on the reference book for the other screw-in fixed blade heads.

Please add my name to the purchasing list of these books. Reading these types of books and studying the pictures of these heads over and over again is next best thing to actually collecting broadheads.

This is a daunting task that requires a lot of time, research and self incurred expense to put all this together. But such books will only enhance collection and identification of modern day broadheads.

I remember that when the commercial replacement blade heads came out in the 70's a lot of them were glue-ons, which were unique and now they are becomming harder to find.

I am sure the person who bought my collection will help you any way he can. He's a great person.

Joe...thanks for the kind words, it is my honor to be the care taker of your collection.

Joe and I spent many hours talking, not only about his collection but the tradition of archery. We immediately hit it off and I consider Joe to be a close friend.

I'm in the process of merging Joe's collection into mine. In the process of doing so, I will take the time to put Joe's collection in one of his display cases and take pictures to share.

I didn't realize that the pic would post as a thumbnail, but if you left click on the pic, three times, it will enlarge for the best viewing of Joe's collection.

Cool....I can come back and add pics to this post. More to come

I tried to call Joe several times but got no response. Could have saved a boat load on shipping........OH WELL !

Selling a broadhead collection is much more than just a monetary windfall. For those of us who have been long time collectors and bowhunters, each broadhead becomes a prize possession. A broadheads value cannot and should not be measured in dollars and cents. A broadhead collection is often the culmination of a lifetime of the pleasure and joy provided to its owner over the years.

I wanted my collection go to someone who would appreciate each and every head as the fruition of its maker's thought process, a marvel in craftsmanship, design and aerodynamics and a thing of pure beauty that brings pleasure and joy to the eyes of the beholder.

But in the mind's of the makers, the intended purpose of a broadhead was to to dispatch a big game animal by a hunter. The hunter sends the broadhead tipped on the front of an feather guided shaft by pulling back the string that stresses the limbs of the bow, and upon its release, transferrs kinetic energy to the shaft that is stored during its flight to push the sharpened tip into the animal and bring about its demise. When the cutting end of the arrow strikes its prey and the animal expires, the broadhead has served its maker's purpose and completed its journey as a tool for hunting, providing sustenance for the hunter and his family.

The cycle of the broadhead does not begin and end with the harvesting of game. The broadhead now begins a new journey as a collectable artifact that will bring a lifetime of joy to its owners and admirers, as well as historical memorabilia to hunting with a bow and arrow.

So what does all this mean to the broadhead collector ? Each one of us will have to decide that for themselves. But one common strand among devout collectors is their true love of the broadhead and not its monetary value.

For me it was more important for the right person to be the receipent of my collection than what I sold it for and how much postage it would cost to get it to that special person. Our transaction between seller and buyer was a personal matter and not one for discussion. Again, the most important thing to me was that the "right" person got it.
