Title: What kind of broad head is this?
Post by: osage outlaw on September 24, 2015, 10:32:15 pm

Somebody gave me some of their old trad archery supplies and these broad heads were in the box.  I've never seen this style glue on point before.  There is 2 split rings that you have to line up and insert a blade.  The rings hold the blades in place.  I haven't weighed them yet but they feel kind of light.  I looked on google for them but didn't find anything. The are tapered inside.  Does anyone know the name of them?

Satellite maybe.  Are those Exacto blades?

They do kind of look like exacto blades.  Maybe shaped just a little different.

When I first started bow hunting about a hundred years ago, so my memory may off.
Those look like a broadhead called a "Wasp" I think. But the ones I had were screw in instead of glue on.
Interesting

Wasp is what I would say too. Those were some of my first broadheads in the late 80s, Mine were a screw on metallic orange color 125grs.

You guys are right.  I just found them on the google.  Its a 1972 WASP ~ Injector (3-Blade) BROAD HEAD.  Thanks for the help.

My first bow kill was with one of those Wasp orange color screw in with a compound.

Looks like a great way to cut you fingers while trying to assemble them ::)... simple wins every time IMO.

Definitely a Wasp, some of the blades would come off if you shot a deer with one, at least that was my experience back in the day.

Yep, Wasp. I bought my first ones from Zayre's, kinda mini Walmart back in the day.

Me too except the store was called 3D in our little town. I'm not sure if was true but a guy once told me the orange ones were heavier and the green lighter. I've still got some green ones somewhere in my pile o' stuff.
