bear razorheads

while no longer available commercially, bear razorheads regularly show on places like ebay. Fred Bear came up with the design by great trial and error. He wanted the widest cutting surface that wouldn't plane in flight with the best penetration. The problem with MOST current broadheads is that they have a trocar or pointed tip while a chisel tip is really, truley the best penetrator when it comes to bone.

It may be truthfully pointed out, however, that current archery technology is pretty much overkill; if you hit the deer in the boiler room they won't go far, and trocar OR chisel point will completely penetrate a whitetai, even if it hits bone.

I'm not a big fan of mechanicals; they seem to have too many failures currently. That technology, I'm sure, will improve.

I'm also not a big fan of the smaller profile heads; the bleeding is proportional to the total slicing area.
