Anyone can make a workable broadhead - Page 3 -

Nice work! What did you use as a ferrule to get the broadhead to screw in to your arrow?

Blood trail.........who is your question addressed to?

Anyone who can answer the question!

Just saw your pics and i was wondering how to use them on a carbon arrow.

I'll be swamped this week, but this weekend I can take some pics of a little jig that I made that will allow you to slot an aluminum ferrule to accept them. I've done glue ons in the past, but I'm pretty sure with some tinkering it'll work for screw-in adapters. May use steel adapters though for strength.

Blood trail;
Some of the above broadheads do have a 5deg tapered ferrulle so a broadhead adapter could be used to mount onto a carbon or aluminum arrow. There are several other broadheads pictured above that have a parellel ferrule, to fit either a 5/16" or 11/32" wood shaft. Not impossible to mount onto a carbon, but nothing is manufactured for this application. A person would have to get creative.

I've got plenty of saw blade material from the long saw blades from old timber mills. I've been wanting to try this, but cutting out the blades is my only problem. I will get some pics up tomorrow of the material that I have.

Born out of the indecision whether to bow hunt or gun hunt this head has it all. The head has a full 2 1/8” cut with razor sharp blades. Along with a weight of 384 gr. and a speed of 1900 fps. kinetic energy and penetration should not be a problem even on heavy boned animals.
With the glue-on ferrule and the traditional 2 blade design it should fare well even with the most traditional minded hunters. The extended range and knock down power of this wide, heavy head will go a long way with the diehard gun hunters when the big one comes out a bit farther than expected during the early season.
The double bevel grind and the chisel tip design is guaranteed to do its job on any animal you decide to chase.

Sorry guys just a little to much time on my hands

[QUOTE=raghorn;12241]These are some I've done.
The far left is saw blade, hand cut and shaped. The ferrule is brass tube that I've beat into the shape I want and the the blade is soldered into the ferrule.
The next is similar except the ferrule is a brass field point that I placed in a drill and ground the shoulder down. The head on the right is a modified. The blade is from an Arrowmate and the ferrule is a Sweetland that was used for the Parker Timberwolf heads.
The brown head is a three blade CatClaw. I used Catclaw blades and ferrule but three blades rather than two and they are set on the side of the ferrule like the original Catclaw. It is the about same size as a 160gr Snuffer and weighs about 200gr.

I really like the second one from the left. I've heard about using saw blades for knives also. I think you could use a field point, cut the tip off, slot it with a dremel and braze a point like that in for a screw in broadhead.

Now if I could find enough time to tinker.

Here's three different ways I mounted my "Good Head" the bottom one is a ground down screw-in field point

shep · 07-07-2010, 09:26 AM

Ron, I know you have one of them stashed somewhere with my name on it ...... one that is not quite perfect and looking for a home.

huntingbone · 07-15-2010, 09:20 AM

New to the site just wanted to say you guys are pretty talented great work

Heirloom · 07-19-2010, 08:55 PM

These are ALL really cool. I like to make differnt things, ''just for the fun of it''.
I Have some peices of Damascuss knife steel laying around, MIGHT have to try one of these out just for giggles.

GREAT workk guys!!!!!

Here are two that I modeled recently. I want to make them someday.

I am thinking a single piece and not using an aluminum ferrule.

Nice job on the design work. They both remind me of the German Kinetics BH.
