add a cuts

swamper · October 17, 2005, 09:05:00 PM

looking to find any information and hopefully purchase a package of what was called add a cuts..they were a lenght of rolled steel that went behind your broadhead and unrolled when the arrow was going into a animal

I guess I would have to ask first....what are your plans for an Add-a-Cut? Collecting or to hunt with?
I have a package but I prefer to keep it. If you need one??????
They worked about as good as a Browning Serpintine, clogged up and stopped penetration. They were not shaving sharp.

Raghorn, The Browning Serpintine you mentioned, was that the b/head that cut a figure 8 hole? I remember seeing them in 1973 I think. Anybody know where I could get one? I am starting a small b/head collection and that one is one I want if I can find one. Thanks.
