I just got the single bevel 175 grain broadheads. Very easy to sharpen I have them shaving sharp in a few minutes a head. They fly good and hit right with my field points.I do get a rotation of the broadhead in my target when I pull my arrow you can feel the arrow twisting on the way out. they are expensive but do feel like they will last forever.I would not hesitate to shoot one through a car door except for the 15 dollar arrow behind it. I have not hunted with them yet but my first impressions are good we shall see in the fall.

They make different heads with different steels. Some will be easier to sharpen than others. Don't own any, but I think their S7 tool steel is different than the VPA's. That being said the VPA is more than enough for just about any critter, although it isn't as sturdy as a RAGe. ;)

The website is an insane assault on your sensibilities. The bull shit made up terms, and theories are enough to make me stay clear no matter what the heads are like.

I was wrong about the truck Payment. The scientific method heads are on sale from $299 for three to $229. You can save $70 so get youre quickly before they sell out

Or you can get the top of the line. THe new bloodflodz heads.........they are on sale so you don't have to pay the list price of $469.99 so you save $110 and only pay $359.99 for the three pack

If i was kidding I would make up a crazy number like $100 bucks for three. My imagination is not good enough to envision heads that cost. 100 to 150+ each full retail. Just check out the bishop archery website.
I told you to make a truck payment or two instead

I bought 3--315 grain ones to try on a Cape buffalo hunt. They are certainly durable. I did speak to the owner and he sent me a free one as well. I believe he is honestly trying to make the best broadheads on the market.
I bought their sharpening wheel and also talked to the guy in the video. The bottom line is that I could not get them sharp. That being said, I have a hard time sharpening many items. It could very well be me.
I decided to use Silver Flames instead.
I do not want to flame the guy.
If you would like to try them, I will send you four of them for free.
Please simply PM your address. First come first served. I hope they work for you.

I agree it is a ridiculous cost. I'm not sure how anyone could get in their mind this would sell. But, I said the same thing about $200 hunting pants, $600 hunting jackets, $40 beanie's, $90 gloves, $1200 bows, and $300 bow sights. This guy might just prove to be smarter than any of us. God Bless men.

I grabbed the last of the Zwickeys in the old packaging from the local store for under $4.00/head. New packaging they are around $5.00ea. I would confidently shoot anything with them but I have no issue with someone building or buying $100.00 heads. New stuff on the market is a good thing along with the freedom to buy and use what we want.

I paid 150 bucks for 3 175 grain heads don't think your making a car payment with that unless your paying off the pinto

I think Bishop ought to charge whatever they want, and I think buyers will make the decision to buy or not. My price limit cuts off somewhere south of a Silver Flame. At their prices, I wouldn't look for Bishop to be a big player in the broadhead market. But if bowhunting ever becomes a tax-supported pastime of the United States government...that would open up a whole new market for them.

The bishop guy is a joke. It's the same head as a vpa. He somehow talked the maker of vpa into making some for him. I don't know all the exacts but it somewhere in that ball park. Also the "owner" of bishop name got on one of my social media pages and spammed me with all his crap then tried to throw the original designer under the bus an discredit him. Stick with the vpa name brands and let that joker sink his own ship. Hopefully he has a second means of income cuz if not I feel bad for him.

If "Bishop" was a small Alaskan Island that had "offerings" each year most here would have these outrageously priced heads on back order...... well at least some of you jokers.:)
