"I took my first big game animal with a bow on my 46th birthday. A beautiful 48 1/2" kudu bull that I took with my 46# Tomahawk™ "SS" named, "The African Queen." Under pressure, and on film I shot a perfect arrow. The Woodsman® broadhead completely penetrated the 1,000# kudu. I couldn't be happier with my kudu, my impressive 46# Tomahawk™ "SS", and my deadly Woodsman® Broadheads."

"Here is a picture of a Stone's Sheep I took with a longbow several years ago. As far as I know, this is the second Stone's Sheep killed with a longbow in modern times. I used a Goldtip carbon arrow with a Woodsman® Broadhead. A double lung shot on the running sheep ended its life in seconds. The Woodsman® broadhead performed exceptionally well."
Nathan Andersohn

"After getting my new 70# Tomahawk™ long bow, I decided to hook up with some old friends for a whitetail hunt in Pennsylvania. It was an exciting hunt with several shot opportunities. I finally had a good opportunity on this beautiful 12-point. I was sure he would go around the brush pile and give me a 20-yard shot. But no, he walks right through it and gives me an eight-yard shot. He was slowly walking... ...I let the arrow go and it hit true. The Woodsman® broadhead tipped Carbon Express shaft penetrated all the way through and stuck in the ground on the opposite side. After a tense tracking job, we found my trophy of a lifetime. Thank you Tomahawk Bows™ and Woodsman® Broadheads."

"On May 12th I shot this tom at 15 yards with a 710 grain Carbon Express Heritage shaft/Woodsman® broadhead combo and the bird turned three circles and fell over dead! My kind of tracking job!"

Joe blake is a prolific outdoor writer and a die-hard bowhunter. He prefers bowhunting with a longbow, and recently arrowed this nice Tom turkey with his Prairie Panther longbow and one of our deadly Woodsman® broadheads.
Congratulations Joe, and thanks for sharing your success with us!"

"I shot my best buck to date opening morning of the 2000 season here in Michigan. The shot passed through the shoulder blade and buried into the opposite leg. The Woodsman® broadhead did extensive damage. He expired quickly with as good a blood trail as I have ever seen. I attribute this to the three blade hole and great penetration. Thanks for a great product and all the intangible help your books have given me over the years."

"Your Woodsman® Broadhead made "Good Medicine" on a 57" moose for
me this season. I shot him from 35 yards, the arrow going to the fletching. He was down and out within 75 yards."

Thanks again,

"I am sending you photos of my Australian buff. With regard to your Woodsman® broadhead, it worked like a charm, penetrating beyond the nock. It cut through very thick hide, one big rib and the entire chest cavity, sticking in the other side. My arrow was right around 800 grains from 88 pound recurve limbs. Everyone suggested not using a three blade design but encouraged me to stick to a two blade head on such a big animal. Since I have been getting such good penetration with my carbon arrows, I thought why not. I think the Woodsman® three blade design may in fact be superior on such a target. It is also a very accurate head. It shoots better than my target points, probably because my brain tells me the broadheads are the ones that count."

"I shot a really nice buck on November 19. Your Woodsman® broadheads made a believer out of me. Then I used the same head to shoot a second buck last week. I just wiped the arrow clean and honed the broadhead on a diamond stone. This one went through the lungs and heart, out the other side and broke the off-side leg! I won't shoot any other brand broadheads again."

Gene Hall
Charles City, Iowa

"The Woodsman® broadheads are great. My first deer this season was not much of a test for the head. I had a good broadside shot at seven yards. Right through the heart and into the dirt on the far side. The second deer proved to be a better test. It was a fifteen yard quartering away shot. My arrow went in behind the last rib, angled forward through the stomach, liver, one lung and the heart. Then it continued on through the thickest part of the breast bone (yes, I said bone) and still stuck deep in the dirt. Awesome!! I had a massive blood trail for thirty yards. I really didn't expect it to stick in the dirt as deep as it did. The Woodsman® was carried by a 560 grain wood shaft for a total of 687 grains, shot from a 67# 21st Century bow. I love these heads. They fly great too."

"The Canadian moose I took this fall dressed 970 lbs. on DNR scales. I put a Woodsman® clean through him broadside at twelve yards, on video. My arrow went fifteen feet out the other side."

"Just wanted to drop you a line to tell you I took a nice eight point with the Woodsman® broadhead last week. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. I got a quartering away shot. The chundoo shaft and Woodsman broadhead had complete penetration and made short work of tracking. I was very impressed with the entrance and exit."

Thanks again,

"My first shot with the Woodsman® broadhead was from 31 yards at a wild hog. This 31 yarder is the longest shot I ever attempted with my longbow and, as evidenced by the perfect center chest hit, the shaft flew true. Attributable, no doubt, to the perfect weight and balance of the head. Even at this distance, the arrow passed all the way through the pig, attributable I'm sure to the narrow profile of the head and sharpness of the blades. Sharpening, by the way, was a breeze due to the perfect alignment angle of the blades for a flat file. The "test boar" only ran thirty yards before going down, due to the massive cutting of the three blade design. In short, you've got a winner with this design. Though a long time two blade fan, consider me now converted!"

"I just returned from Alberta where I took a big blonde bear with my 53# 1969 Bear Grizzly recurve at 18 steps. The Woodsman® Woodsman® broadhead hit 4" behind the right shoulder, center body, slightly quartering away. What a job that broadhead accomplished! Pass through. The bear went thirty yards before expiring. This is the first time I have used a three blade head in a traditional bow. I am sold. They are easy to sharpen and fly extremely well."

Thanks for a great product,

Got my new Woodsman® heads today. I originally thought the price was a little high, but after examination, I think they are under priced. This is the best looking and best made broadhead I've ever seen in over forty years of bowhunting. With a mill file and hard Arkansas stone, in less than five minutes I had a razor sharp shaving edge. I can honestly say I haven't seen a product that so completely went beyond my expectations."

Steve Tallant
Central Point, Oregon

 

"I filled my first Montana 2000 season tag the other evening with a doe. The Woodsman® went high through her right shoulder blade, then completely through her spine. I have hit a couple other deer like this over the years, but have never had a broadhead, even a two blade, make it all the way through both a shoulder blade and a spine. I'm very impressed."

Ed Downey
Kalispell, Montana

 

"I had to drop you a line to thank you for a great broadhead. Since I shoot traditional equipment, I've always been shy of three blade designs. The penetration thing scared me. Two blade heads have served me well, but in the back of my mind I've been waiting for a good penetrating three blade head.

Friday morning, September 22, 2000, I put one to the real test. The result, my best buck to date, an 18" wide, nine point that dressed 160 lbs. My shot was almost straight down. The arrow went through the top of the right shoulder blade, through one lung and on through the center of the sternum before exiting out the bottom of his chest? I'd say that's good penetration for a 60# recurve. Thanks for a great product."

"Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how satisfied I am with the Woodsman® broadheads. I recently harvested a nice bull elk with your broadhead on a 2219 Legacy shaft. That combination resulted in a total pass-through, a clean kill and one very happy bowhunter. Keep up the good work and fine products."

Thanks again.
Mike

 

"I used your Woodsman® broadhead on my spring 2000 Canadian bear hunt. My bear went down in only eleven yards. Even though the Woodsman® tipped cedar shaft traveled completely through the bear and buried in the mud, it was not harmed in any way. It is ready for action again.

On December 31, 1999, at 4:15 PM, as last legal shooting light faded, I arrowed a mature doe whitetail with the Woodsman®. She traveled less than twenty yards before expiring. I like to think this may well be one of the last whitetails taken in the 20th Century."

Thanks again.,
