        Has anybody had any experience with these broadheads? They look like the Ashby’s at about half the price.

            Over 75 trad guys at our club and no one uses them. I don’t see them in their current catalog.

                I would love to see some info on them too. I was looking at them the other day with great interest.

                  I wonder what the length and width are. It seems the steel force web site is not working.

                    Can you post a picture? If these are the same as the ones I’ve seen they don’t have a very desirable ferrule fade in. It’s bulbous and abrupt. I’ve tested several of the double-bevel Steel Force, but have not yet tested their single bevel version.

                        That’s the same ferrule design I tested on the double-bevel screw-in. That ferrule fade-in is more abrupt than that of the Samauri, with that second ‘step-up’ towards the ferrule’s rear. Even the ferrule fade in of the Samauri (which matches that of the SilverFlame) is more abrupt than I like. Having the very best possible ferrule fade-in isn’t important on many hits, but on some it can become a big, big factor. It’s more critical as the animals get larger or the arrow force you’re working with gets lower.

                          It is to their credit that they are listening and make a single bevel now. Hopefully they will work on the ferrule now. Then it should be one great broadhead.

                            Spot on Tom. The more options we have in good BH choices the better.

                              I have the SF Sabortooth 140 with a 75 gr threaded addaptor, and they fly great. We will see how they perform on game this year.

                              But here you go on the SF BH that your talking about.
