        Is anyone making good single blade glue-on broadheads in 200+ grains?

        Thanks

            I bought 11 brand new Grizzly El Grande 200’s from a fellow Tradbowmen and they averaged 210.5 grains each.

            So yes… Grizzly is making them.

            Also Abowyer makes the 210 gr. Large Bonehead and the 215 gr. Abowyer Whitetail.

            The Abowyer heads are extremely sharp and easy to keep sharp IF the blade hasn’t already chipped. They are quite easy to chip.

            The Grizzlys don’t chip that I have ever seen.

                Fletcher Rick — do you know the steel hardness of that Ace head? STOS is an excellent head and was planning long ago to come out with a whole new line of 200+ glue-ons. Wonder what happened there.

                I too wish the market offered more heavier single-blade broadheads in glue-on. I am currently shooting the new El Grandes but admit to ongoing frustration re getting and keeping them sharp. Regarding a few of the heads mentioned above, I would personally not sacrifice Ashby’s “high mechanical advantage” for more weight. That is, I would not shoot a really wide head, which design has been shown to more than cancel any penetration gain from the extra weight. So, we’re not just needing more heavy single-blade heads, but more long, narrow, straight-edged, heavy heads. Whether single or double bevel is another choice. My 2scents, dave
