German Kinetic Silver Flame Broadheads

[CT.HNTR]

I see that SSAS is now selling the German Kinetic Silver Flame broadheads. I have heard that they have a great cut on contact design and are extremely sharp and provide excellent penetration.

I am wondering if anybody is currently using these broadheads and if so can you share your experiences? How do they fly? Do they group well?

GK's are an excellent broadhead and according to the GK website SSAS is an actual importer and seller of them. I say this because those sold by Alaskan Bowhunting are not the original GK's and I would recommend not ordering from them. Those that I purchased from them were of inferior quality. Usable but definitely not GK level of materials or craftsmanship.

GK's were one of the very few broadheads recommended to me by PH's in Africa for bowhunting.

Hi Drew,

Yes, I also saw the SilverFlames sold by Alaskan Bowhunting and while they are similar in design to the GK's they are clearly not the same.

I saw a demonstration a few years ago in person of the SilverFlames cutting through deer hide and when compared to trocar tips there was no comparison at all.
They cut through the deer hide like a hot knife through butter.

The blades are wide and with the high speeds of crossbows was not sure how well they would group?

One can order the real thing directly from Marcus in Germany. The originals are cheaper this way than buying the Made in China crap, Ed from ABHS sells. Ed bought the rights to market these from Marcus and then pulled a fast one getting cheap crap made in China. All the broadheads ABHS sells are Made in China knock offs - stay away.
I tried the real Silver Flames out of my 380 and they planned badly beyond 30 yards. World class broadheads but they fly much better from my longbows.
