Putting an edge on some new broadheads

[Junkers88]

When I bought my quiver these came with on a set of cedar shafts. Since I don't want to shoot cedar, yet, I pulled them off and figured I'd buy some adapters to fit them to my carbons. Did some looking online and they are Bear broadheads, everything says they are a convex grind on the edge and I have no idea how to sharpen them so I took a chance and ran them down an Arkansas hard stone I use to razor edge my knives. Wicked wicked sharp after only a few minutes of work. They weigh in at 112g (odd) so I'm going to order some adapters to get them to 150g like I have up front on my hunting set up. They are double beveled but from everything I've read they've taken game all over the world for decades so I figure they'll do well if I can hit my mark.

They will work just fine if you have them sharp and can put them where they need to go.

Nice picture composition, Junkers.

BTW, I'm not sure you can find them these days, but I'm pretty sure that those slots perpendicular to the main blades are to hold replaceable razor bleeder blades. My Dad's arrows had those back in the mid-'60s.

Also, I got adapters for glue-on broadheads from Tuffhead. Just epoxy them into the cavity and they have a standard 8-32 machine thread to screw into your insert. Adapters I got were 75-grain.

Those are old Bear Broadheads. They will take down any animal you want. I still have several dozen of them in my collection and have used them on many hunts.

I got some with some old arrows the other day they look very similar. I am going to have to take a closed look when I get home.

These had a few of those "bleeders" in them when they arrived but they were very dull and rusty looking. I just pulled them out and discarded them. Thanks for the info on the adapters!

The bleeders can be resharpened too, if need be.

[M.E.B.]

The bleeders were designed to be slid in the slot loose with no glue.

The theory was if you hit hard bone they would break, bend or slide out of the way so not to impend penetration.

They appear to be old wooden shafts too

Man I do like those arrows! Probably heck to find them in the grass though. LOL!

I got them to use for decorations.
