5shot and others Opinions Please
 

Guys n Gals

I came across these broad heads.



Specifications:

Blade: 1 3/4" Long by 1 1/4" wide, with a hardness of 51 Rockwell Weight: 130 Grains.

Blade thickness: 1.4 mm or 0.056 "

The Outback Supremes are now available in
145 / 130 / 110 grain versions.

The new model Supreme blades are a lot stronger, as they do not use a hole in the blade to crimp the ferrule nose into.

What do you all think of these heads?

I might get a couple of dozen of them as they are priced right and send some to 5shot to test

Looks decent..

How is the blade attached to the ferrule?

Do they make a 4 blade version?

RE: 5shot and others Opinions Please
 

From what I can find out the blades are crimped to the ferrule.

Unfortunately they are only making 2blades

RE: 5shot and others Opinions Please
 

Personally I'd like to see a sharper point. That looks like it hit a tree already:D I'd be leery of the ferrule as well...is it tapered? It looks like a flat ledge where the ferrule ends. May not make much difference but I'll take all the help in the way of friction reduction I can get!

Looks like a tough head, and I have learned over the years not to judge them before I actually try'em out:D I have had to eat "crow" more than once[:'(]

RE: 5shot and others Opinions Please
 

It wouldn't hurt to try them out.

Try the thunderheads.:D Just kidding, I was going to go with the stingers. They are one heck of a head.

Ok these heads are made in Australia and have taken Asian Buffalo, pigs, goats, feral cattle and other big game animals there.

They cost $3 Australian plus shipping each.
I am thinking of getting 1 1/2 dozen sent over.

Chris.

When they get here I will send you some but will PM you so I can get your address

RE: 5shot and others Opinions Please
 

They look a lot better now;);):D

Remember,you get what you pay for.I've never been a fan of two bladed broadheads,and that broadhead looks really "rough"and the point looks dull.Maybe it's just me,but why spend serious money on your bow and all the accessories, and then go cheap on one of the most important pieces of equipment,your broadhead?...Bob

They look much the same to me as many of the other cut on contact heads currently on the market. The proof will be in the pudding though. What kind of policy does the company have on returning them if you are not satisfied?

RE: 5shot and others Opinions Please
 

Ausie Thanks a bunch. I love testing new stuff!:)

That I dont know there is no mention on their web page but I will enquire before I spend any money;)

RE: 5shot and others Opinions Please
 

Feral Cattle!? [:-]

That could be fun.;)

RE: 5shot and others Opinions Please
 

It is specially if you make a bad shot;)
The fun is trying to get up the nearest gum tree before your butt get stomped into the ground:D

I would have to agree mostly with this statement. I'm not a fan of 2 blades except for those with marginal energy for the game they are hunting or when tackling the biggest of game on the planet. I know Russ, you have plenty of energy for hogs and deer with your BK @ appx. 70 foot pounds.

Also there are a TON of proven cut on contact heads on the market these days. Magnus Stingers, NAP Razorbacks, Steelforce,Phantoms, etc. While these Ausie broadheads may indeed prove quite stout and sharp, they may not too!

If you are experimenting or just trying to send your mates back home some income then by all means go for it :), but I'd be inclined to pick up some stingers , razorbacks,or phantoms when looking for a cut on contact head, and I would also go with the 4 blade versions for more cutting surface.

IMO of course.:)
