Fire N the Hole
About Us
I started shooting a recurve bow when I was 8 years old. My father had brought a recurve bow and arrows he tied into a gun purchase. I keep asking to get it down and shoot it. When I was 8 he finally strung it for me. I shot that bow for hours and hours. No one taught me, I had to figure it out on my own. At 10 I was trying to figure out how to get broadheads on the pine arrows. My father realize this wasn’t just a faze which would pass……I was going to be a bowhunter. He set me up with a compound bow and arrows for my birthday and a bowhunter was born. I shot for years with no sights or release. I was a pure instinctive shooter well up into my 30”s. Bow’s and equipment became better. Bows advanced. Faster, stronger. Arrows went from pine to aluminum, to carbon. Hunting clothing made great advancements. Gore-tec waterproof membrane, to permaloft insulation, to hi tech fabric that was quiet and scent free. Saw the advent of Muzzy and mechanical broadheads. Both inventions changed broadheads forever. The trocar tip on the Muzzy broadhead can be found on most every fixed blade broadhead. Mechanical broadheads became it’s own category. Love them or hate them they are here to stay.
Over the years I have seen the advancement of ALL of the archery equipment, except broadheads. Oh sure there is the trocar tip and mechanicals, but they were not earth shattering advancements. I have shot many different brands of broadheads, and I can tell you there is not much difference in performance between the different brands. They are all 2,3 or 4 blades fixed of mechanical and the all just make a slice. You can’t tell one brand from the other on the damage done on the wound channel. They all look the same.
November 8th 2008 around 8am, a 12 point Illinois buck came down the dirt road through the pines right into the food plot i was in. He stopped 23 yards, broadside. I was using a mechanical. The shot was good (it looked good, I thought it was good). After the hit the buck went back towards the pines and disappeared. Great a double lung shot!. Got down found arrow, blood, everything looked good for 50 yards then nothing….no blood. Looked for him for several days….nothing. Opening mourning of Illinois gun season, guess who showed up. Same food plot, just 50 yards behind the stand this time. After I recovered him I rolled him over and there was the scab where I stuck him 3 weeks earlier. I took him to my brothers garage where we butcher all our deer. After taking the deer apart I learned why the broadhead “failed”. It didn’t “fail”, it did exactly what it was designed to do. Opened on the scapula and took a right turn down the shoulder blade, giving him a 7 inch flesh wound. He was almost healed. Right then I decided I was going back to fixed blades. But what to shoot.
August 2009. I saw a step down drill bit in a parts catalog I received in the mail. I took a glance at it and thought “that would make a nasty broadhead”. Left the office, took 3 steps put into the warehouse and BAMM the image of the ring broadhead popped into my mind. I turned off my equipment and raced home, went in, sat down and made a hand drawing of the broadhead. My brother is a machinist so we made some up for the up coming season. We killed a few deer with the prototypes and knew from the results we had something special. 5 years to get it into production. 2015 we started in nation wide sales on a website. Over the years we sold well wherever we were exposed. One question kept coming up on occasion. “Do you make a mechanical”?
So in 2018 I decided to make a mechanical which would kill as fast and efficiently as the ring broadhead. This is a tall order since the ring out kills every other broadhead on the market. So this is going to be a mechanical above all other mechanicals. A class by Itself. A Controlled Expansion 1 x 4 inch broadhead. When I told my brother I was going to make a 4-inch broadhead he thought I lost my mind. There has never been a 4-inch production broadhead. I made the design in 2 days 3-4 hours after work. Controlled Expansion is the name of the mechanics on the 1x4 Tomahawk. It works miracles, it's the best mechanism of any on the market. It opens when it’s supposed to, stays closed when it’s supposed to, works on any angle shot, Has the largest, strongest, most durable blades of any mechanical.
These designs have proven themselves in the field…..where it counts! Over the years, testimonies and personnel experience has shown us they are truly in a league of their own. NO other broadheads can do the damage to the vitals of an animal that Fire N The Hole can. No other fixed blade removes a hole out of an animal. No other mechanical makes a 4-inch wound channel. No other broadhead design can kill as fast as Fire N The Hole. Double Lung Shot: alive 2-3 seconds, 20-30 yards is all the farther they run after being shot with the broadhead. Liver Shot: alive 8-10 seconds, covers 60-100 yards after being shot. Gut Shot: alive 5 minutes! Cover 60-150 yards. These are the results from 1000’s animals killed with Fire N The Hole Broadheads. No other brand of broadheads can make these claims. NONE! We are different designs with faster, more lethal results. We are in a category by ourselves. Nothing else comes close.
Our Broadheads
The Fire-N-The-Hole™ Broadhead does what every other broadhead claims to do: it kills quickly and leaves a huge blood trail...it just does it faster and bigger than all the rest!
Fire-N-The-Hole™ Broadheads come in two designs: a 3-bladed ring fixed, 100-grain broadhead (also offered in 125 grain) and the 4-inch mechanical broadhead.
Our Guarantee
Fire-N-The-Hole™ Broadheads have been field tested since 2009. And, yes, it lives up to the hype. Over these years, it has assisted dedicated hunters take deer, turkey, pronghorn antelope, hogs and bear. Each broadhead was engineered with quick kills and minimal tracking in mind.
Our Fixed Blade Broadheads
-
Quick
The Model 330 broadhead, Crossbow C4, and Sidewinder are fixed ring blade broadheads providing exceptional stability, quick kill impact and astounding field point accuracy.
-
Clean
The revolutionary cutting ring design of theFire-N-The-Hole™ fixed broadheads acts as a stabilizer, allowing air to pass through the center of the ring. As the ring slices through the air, the arrow holds its course for unequivocal field point accuracy all the way to the target.
-
Lethal
TheFire-N-The-Hole cutting ring design blows a 1 inch hole through an animal, creating a huge wound channel--too large to be clotted by blood. Unlike conventional, non-ringed, fixed 3-blade broadheads,Fire-N-The-Hole™ Broadheads cut in all directions, not just on a 2-dimensional plane.
Our Mechanical Broadhead
-
Size
What does 1X4-inch mechanical mean? It means that your broadhead flies at a width of 1inch and upon penetrating your animal expands to create a 4-inch whole.
-
Cut
The blades are sharpened in one direction, like the blade of a lawnmower or scissors, sharpened on the point making the broadhead cut on contact. This gives the broadhead superb accuracy as it spins through the air closed and continues spinning through the animal at 4 inches width for unmatched penetration for such a large broadhead.
-
Opening
We have designed a broadhead that opens using angles, friction, and levers that upon striking the deer must open. The cut-on-contact blades engage the deer and cut in like knives, and the friction and angle move the blades out to the sides as it slices through and enters the vitals cavity.
The 4-inch cut is attained by removing the ferrule out that the traditional broadheads have and replacing it with the weight of the cutting blades. This gives the blades four times more material than traditional blades of other broadheads. Each blade weighs 34.5 grains, which means that 75% of the weight of the broadhead is in the blades. This turns blades into small knives, which are tough enough to cut through skin, fur, flesh, bone, vital organs, etc. At 50-thousandths thick and 200-thousandths wide, this makes the 4-inch mechanical an exceptionally durable broadhead that gets the job done.
The most common complaint of the mechanical broadhead is that it does not open. Our broadhead fully opens within the first inch of engaging the animal and will be open at 4 inches while passing through the vitals. This broadhead saves enough kinetic energy to get a pass-though, leaving you a superb trail to follow. With the amount of damage this broadhead does, you should be able to watch your animal expire.
