    Looking to buy German Kinetic Broadheads for a dangerous game hunt (the original, not knock off Grizzly Stik or whatever). let me know if you have any you would be willing to part with! Thanks, Mike

    No offense but grizzly stiks are high quality broadheads. Maybe one of the best single bevel broadheads on the market in my opinion. And a single bevel will perform better on the heavy bone of large game rather than a double bevel German kinetic. But of that's what you want and it makes you happy go for it

    None taken, I am learning about all this heavy arrow big critter stuff and I had just heard quite a few times grizzly sticks aren't the same. Trouble with this stuff is people have a lot of brand loyalty so i appreciate and listen to all opinions people are willing to give

    Have owned them both. get the kinetics for sure. There is a dealer on AT looking to place an order if you do a search you will find it. He places on large order when he has enough interest and the ships them when they hit states side.
    Also check out bowsite, you can once in awhile find them for sale in the classified there.

    Not to get too off topic but for Asiatic water buff/cape buff sized game do you have an opinion on 1 1/8" vs 1 1/2" GKs as far as a penetration vs big hole balance? Or doesn't it matter as much with a heavy arrow and sharp head?

    Yes, for what's it worth I would stick to the 1 1/8 with a good weight to length ratio....in that the heavier it is the longer it gets....penetration is the ticket and the extra 3/8 cut doesn't have much meaning considering the mass of what we want to kill.

    South shore archery supply. Jerry places orders on 1st and 15th of every month. Takes a few weeks to get them in, since they come from Germany. Kinda pricey but they are quality heads. I'm thinking about ordering some of the new ones with bleeders when they are available

    sent from old school can and string

    Jerry is a good guy, no issues dealing with him.

    Man, they look exactly the same. What is the difference? When I go to the G.K. site all I see are the "Silver Flames".

    The main difference is the Kinetics are the original design, made in the original place (Germany) by the original manufacture.
    The ABS silver flames are made in China.

    There are arguments for and against both heads. my own is that for the cost difference which is negligible I would stay with the originals.

    I thought he was referring to The alaska bowhunting single bevels, because they are very high quality. But the double bevel German kinetics are better than the grizzly stik double bevel
