Unknown Broadheads

[spiner78]

Last Summer I picked up an old back quiver at a garage sale.  A couple of days ago I noticed these laying on the bottom of the quiver mixed in with some old rags.  They are dark green like Zwickeys but don't see any of the heads they offer now like them.  They measure 2 5/8" long x approx. 1 1/2" wide.  Any ideas just out of curiousity?  Thanks

Ooops, forgot the pictures.

Ben Pearson Deadheads, small version. They made one larger at 1 3/4" wide.

Neat.  Many thanks.  Not sure exactly what to do with them just yet.  I appreciate them for what they are but I collect too many things now.  If anyone is interested in having them send me an email    adlmurray@yahoo.com

Went through all the arrows that were in the same old back quiver today.  Mostly all Easton aluminum in various weights.  They look like culls but possibly just because of bad fletching.  There are three fiberglass fishing arrows, one with a large contraption for a head evidently designed for holding the fish.  One wooden arrow is interesting with what looks to me like a Bear broadhead with bleeder missing.  The wooden shaft is marked "Bear" and "Cedar - Chief.  Looks old to me since the knock is cruddy but intact.  Another wooden arrow has a broadhead marked "HILBRE'.  There are very few wooden arrows but probably close to 50-60 Easton aluminums, all camo colored.  I don't think any are a match for my HH bow but someday will check them out.  The only one that looks like it may be old would be the Bear.  If there is any significance to that one I'd appreciate knowing.  Thanks

I see now the fiberglass arrow is labeled "The Game Tracker".  I assume it's for fishing since the large head with what looks like possibly expanding barbs.

If it's a fishing arrow it will be solid fiberglass. Also, the Hilbre broadhead was probably in the top three of the "worst" broadheads ever made.

Game Tracker arrows have a spool of sting on the inside of the arrow.  The string usually exits at the knock end of the arrow. When shot, the string spools out and lays a track to wherever the arrow goes. If the arrow hits an animal and the animal runs off, the string lays a trail to where the animal can be found. Thus "Game Tracker".

Jack, good to see you still here. I check in only once in a while.
I used one of those string contraptions in an easy shot in Fla. "90's I think.
It worked off the bow handle like a fishing rig.
It broke within seconds as the deer zig zagged and died within 70 yds in the palmetto bushes.
These days an expandible head with GPS would work without string. Track him on your I Phone !
But whose going to gut the deer, LOL
