broadhead

Guys

This is my first post here.  Last October, I made an osage self-bow and have committed to hunting with it.  I love shooting a bow that I crafted myself.  However, I am only half primitve.  I shoot aluminum arrows and screw in broadheads now.  I will conquer the bow and then move onto handcrafted arrows, if I can find someone to help me get started.  My problem is this... I can not find any 2 blade screw-in 175 grain broadheads.  Does anyone know of any.  Thanks.

Kyle

3 Rivers Archery has Zwickey Delta 170-gr screw-ins, and a plethora of glue-on and screw-in types. They also have adapters that allow you to use glue-on broadheads on screw-in arrows. 3riversarchery.com

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I would try the aluminum adapters that glue in to most 2 blades with a ferrule. That would give you a good choice of different broadheads. 3rivers is a paid advertiser that would carry them.

Sorry, didn't realize everyone posted at the same time. Looks unanimous though

Kyle,there are many ,"how to's",on building self arrows,on this site,and a good one in this month's issue of PA.Building self-arrows is much easier than most folks think,(every part of them).You can find many types of shoots and,or, cane,all over this country.Give it a try.It's as rewarding as bowbuilding.
