Now remember that there are some 2 blade broadheads out there, but are not as effective as a Bear with the chisel tip, theirs come to a point which tend to curl after hitting bone. In my opinion and 32 years hunting experience, you can not go wrong with the bear broadhead. My field tips shoot exactly the same as my broadheads. I do not insert the bleeder blade which I found to create radical movement during arrow flight and cant the head 1 o’clock to 7 O’clock or 11 O’clock to 5 O’clock to match up to the vanes as close as possible. If you set them straight vertically you will experience fish tailing or if you position them horizontally your arrow will porpoise.

The manufacturers do attempt to put a chiseled point, but it is not enough to blow up a shoulder blade on a large animal, it is still a “Dart” point

It is all in the design of the broadhead. I wish I had a plumb bob to hit into a round of wood, but the illustration shows what I am talking about.

I have hunted with the Bear 100 grain for several years and have harvested many trophies. When I guided I always kept an extra supply for clients that after taking a shoulder blade shot and not penetrating would change out their wicked broadheads for the 2 blade Bear and have a successful hunt.

If you take the plumb bob and stick it on a round of wood and hit it as hard as you can, it will absorb into the round not splitting it. Like a nail in a 2x4, it doesn't split the wood and is only absorbed due to the shape.

Now take the wedge specifically designed to split wood and with half the force used on the plumb bob easily split the round of wood.

Broadhead Physics

Seems like broadhead manufacturers like any other manufacturer produce products to sell on emotion. A broadhead might look wicked, but be one of the most ineffective. They perform tests and produce results, but are they real outdoor tests on animals? We all know bone density is different on all animals so their results are a positive-negative. I have heard hunters talk about their broadheads blowing through shoulder blades of white tail deer, but that broadhead might not even start to penetrate a shoulder blade of an elk or moose.

Before modern man started designing new and better broadheads the Indians successfully used a basic plain design. Yes it was due to their limited resources, but they harvested game to feed the tribe. This brings us to the basics of simple to understand broadhead physics.

In the figure below you see a plumb bob used by surveyors to accurately mark a spot. Notice how rounded it is. I see several broadheads with what I call a “Dart Point”. On the right you see a wedge designed to easily split a round of wood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 




























Wolverine Boots


I had the pleasure to use a pair of Wolverine Pigskin boots this last year and I have to tell you the boots were the most comfortable boot I have worn in the field hunting. The soft gummy soles would stick to rocks in dry or rainy conditions like a mountain goat. I have never felt so at easy while skipping over rocks and boulder in stream beds as I stocked in on big game.

The only down fall to the boots is that I had to put on water seal to keep my feet dry and by doing this the pigskin became soft and the 8" tops would sag like an old sock. Maybe I put too much water seal on, but me feet were comfortable and dry.

If you are looking for a very comfortable pair of boots that your feet will smile all day while being outdoors, then you might want to invest in a pair of Wolverines. I recommend their Pigskin boots for dry conditions and if you don't put as much water seal on as I did, then they could be a great product in wet weather also.

 

Optic Belt

I have been using my Optic Belt from Del Norte for the past 2 years and have eliminated the nagging neck pain from my binoculars. The Optic Belt straps around your chest to keep your binoculars snug to your body eliminating them from swinging around while you walk. The neoprene flap covers your binoculars keeping them dry and dust free. The cover flap easily goes over your binocular and allows for quick removal. If my Optic Belt ever wears out (which I do not foresee any time soon) I will purchase another one. I even purchased one for each of my boys as Christmas presents and they do not leave home to go on outings with out them.

If you are tired of your binoculars, big or small flopping around on your chest then the Optic Belt is a must for you.
