Default is it me or have the prices of BH"s skyrocketed

Was just looking at Bass Pro's website to see if I was going to use a different Broadhead for Turkey and the Rage are now $40 for three - looks like all of the other heads have went up as well-

RM Snypers, slightly less. And I agree Frank, it's getting ridiculous and all because of gas prices I'd bet.

funny thing Rob, Just went back on the site and was looking at the RM Gator's they have the same cutting diameter as the rage but $10 cheaper as well- I think I am going to try the gators- 29.99

Last I looked the old reliable heads such as Muzzy and Thunderheads were selling for the same price they were last season. If it ain't broke...

Well obviously more expensive = better = the deer will be dead faster. [8D]

Just business, people selling stuff for what others are willing to pay. Just seems that many are very willing to pay a lot.

I agree, the prices do seem to have gone up on most of them, but my Jak-Hammers are still under $30!!!

If consumers weren't such sheep - and didn't buy into the advertising - they would actually get what they pay for. But, it's proven year in, year out that marketing pays off - and we all foot the bill.

An enormous portion of your purchase price is directly related to their immense marketing budget. So, everytime you see an ad or a commercial for a product, be aware that you're paying for it at the checkout counter of your local sporting goods store.

You figure, a broadhead might cost $3 to make. But by the time you add-in marketing, profit for the manufacturer, profit for the middle man, and profit for the sporting goods store - you're looking at a $12 broadhead. LOL Sad, but that's the accepted practice.

This is a point that always falls on deaf ears... But... I'll continue to preach it.
