So, the other night I was bored, and did this thing.
Had a Jerry Hill "Killer" broadhead that got bent. Not surprising since it involved two pigs with one shot, and a fat mesquite tree, where the second pig (about a 40 #er with the arrow through it's head) was dangling, and bouncing around like crazy on the arrow stuck in the tree.
The arrow was at a downward angle to the broadhead, so it took that pig a little while to bounce/pull off the end.
So, to the thing I did.
The ferule was pretty much toast, so I drilled out the pins connecting the blade to the ferule, straightened the blade, and built a ferule out of a NAP Spitfire expandable ferule.
The blade weighs 122 grains. the ferule weighs 50 grains after some modification, for a total broadhead weight of 172 grains.
I double pinned it, and it's solid as a rock.
Wouldn't hesitate to use it.
Would be perfect if I was still shooting 175 grain heads, but I'm shooting 225s with my new setup.
Whata Ya Think?
