Del-Ma Penetrator 3-Blade Glue-On Broadheads Review

Tough and solid

Used this head on a week long deer hunt. I shot my quiver empty into the ground each time I got out of the stand for practice. When I got back to camp I simple used a file to resharpen. I did this twice a day for a week with no damage to the heads. Ended up killing two small bucks. Good head.

Time Tested - Time Proven

Purchased MA-3's from 3 Rivers years ago. Have lost some, but can't destroy them. Have taken large and small game with them for many years. No other broad head out performs an MA-3.

Old Reliable

I purchased my first supply of MA-3 broadheads from 3 Rivers in l988. I'm still using some of them. They are possibly the most rugged broadhead on the market. Smack a rock? File the tip back. re-sharpen and continue the hunt. I have killed numerous big game and 25 years of varmints with them. A sharp MA-3's will do anything any other broadhead will do and probably survive longer.

Half Century with MA-3'S

The Archers Bible (Kittridge Bow Hut) many years ago had an add that showed a bow hunter who killed a bison with an MA-3. That was 40 years ago. Still the best broad head on the market.

48 years of shooting these

This broadhead and the two blade were the ones I first started hunting with back in the late 50's and today they still prove to be one of the toughest and easy to care for broadhead on the market. From traditional bows and from compounds, I have used them over and over to kill all of the big and small game in Colorado. There are some tricks to keeping them sharp enough to shave… read more with like using ceremic rods and a leather strop just as the old timers did with straight razors. A light oil or wax will keep them from rusting quickly. During hunting season my legs and arms go hairless by always testing them for sharpness. I have killed many elk with them and most of them died within a few seconds. My first elk was shot in the rear from a 52 pound Ben Pearson recurve and the home made wood arrow went clean through and came out it's chest and stuck in a dead tree. It never knew what hit him as it died less then 20 yards. A MA3 that has it's front end damaged can be sharpened to another point for using on small game and stump shooting. I have also welded nails to the blades for bird hunting which is another trick that works great. Try that with another broadhead! For my money, the MA3 is the best broadhead to use with wood arrows as I have made hundreds of arrows with MA3's for use from everything from fishing to flu flu's. With all of the many 'gadget' broadheads on the market today, I will wager that any animal shot will not know the difference between the good old MA3 broadheads or their expensive gadget broadhead.

Worth twice the money

I used these broadheads on a pig hunt. I was using a custom 56 pound longbow and very heavy hickory shafts. My first shot struck low and completely penetrated the left leg just below the body. I got my second shot as the pig turned away from me at 35 yards. That arrow hit just behind the last rib and penetrated to the feathers. The pig made it 8 yards before piling up. Both… read more shots told me a lot about the broadhead. The first one completely penetrated solid bone and the broadhead looks brand new, even at the point. It did not bend over at the tip at all. The second arrow didn't hit bone but the three blades caused massive damage to both lungs resulting in a quick kill. I have found a new favorite broadhead.

Not a durable head

The first time i shot this head it blew through the target and hit a really rotten decaying log. It was not a heavy piece of wood. I carved it out of the stump with my knife and to my dismay, the head had cracked almost in two. I called Three Rivers and they said they would exchange it for me. I love Three Rivers but this was a faulty product

Sleeper Head of the 21st Centrury

The MA3 lines-up perfect on adapters, or 5 degree tapers. They are tough, have a hard finish, some say almost too hard that will require a little more effort to get sharp. It holds an edge like no other, I have shot through large wild boar, and the head was still razor sharp. The flight characteristics are fantastic. It is hard to believe that people pay more for heads that… read more are not much better.
