300-Xtreem Solid 1 Piece 3 Blade SS

For the hunter that wanted to try High FOC heavy heads he can now have 300 grains up front in a standard arrow with aluminum inserts. There is no need to pull the insert and change it to Brass to get the weight up, risking damaging the shaft from heating the old inserts. These heads are just like having a 200-gr Broadhead and a 100-gr-brass insert, which is a very popular combination.

Many shooters will find that their arrows if made from carbon have been overspined, and they can screw the 300 gr Xtreem on and get very good flight with little other tuning. I suggest that you first try a 300-gr-field point to see if this case fits you. If not you may be able to trim the arrows from the fletch end and stiffen it up. Properly tuned arrows is a must, but unfortunately many hunters are shooting a much stiffer than needed arrow already.{ A 300 gr point can be made with a 100 gr steel adapter and a 200 gr Ace glue on point.} Matching 300 grain points will be made available that are the same length as the 300Xtreem.

We hear of heavy headed arrows nose-diving and all sorts of other things. I have been shooting from 200 to 400 grains up front for years and the arrows do not nose dive. A heavy shaft is a heavy shaft and the trajectory is the same if the weight is evenly spread of loaded on the nose.

Normally I do not shoot into concrete or steel to test a broadhead. I have been asked to do this with the 300Xtreem to evaluate the Tanto tip and overall strength. The photo is a 300Xtreem embedded into the basement wall. After removing and inspecting the head I found it to be in remarkable shape. One blade had a small chip and the point did not curl over or deform to the eye. To check it for straightness I put it in the drill press at high speed and spun it. There was no visible wobble. And when it was lowered to a block the tip was spinning true with no run out. The Tanto tip works well to prevent tip deformation.

Watch for an update to this review when the first production 300Xtreem MIM molded Stainless Steel heads are ready for market. The production heads will be sold sharp and ready to hunt.
