Hi everyone,

For christmas my parents gave me some hand forged heads from by the sword.
They say that the inside diameter is 5/16 while they are actually 3/8 in diameter.
and the leaf shaped head is way too big and the type 13 broadhead is made very sloppy >:(
So dont buy heads from by the sword. I am now hoping to get some handforged heads from sevenmeadows archery.

Nick:
sorry to rain on your parade but those are machined and not hand forged, whats more is that they are quite poor quality. I know this as my friend ordered from their site and you can see that the quality is low and there is no socket line. Plus you can tell both of these features just by looking at the pictures.

Sorry,
Nick L.

As soon as i opened the package i could see that they were machined. But the website says that they are all hand forged in india. I just finished up a beautiful set of arrows and no i will ruin them by having top put on those tips. Though i still have 2 nice bodkins and i might order some Hun arrowheads from sevenmeadows archery they look really good and i know i can trust those people cause the famous bowyer istvan toth works there, and i have ordered several things from them before. ONly problem is that they are 9 dollars each. Next time i am going to import from England!!

Wait are the heads you are talking about from sevenmeadows archery or the ones from by the sword. Because the ones from sevenmeadows archery look like good quality arrows.  THough they dont seem handforged.

I was talking about sevenmeadows
