I have seen slick tricks rust after a year. This year I will use Iron Will, that being said I am not to worried about rusting but would like to see how bad the rust can get. Thanks.

Mine were 4 months old. Never been shot or carried. Contacted IW and got the run around. Shame an American company does not have better customer service. Their products seem to be top of the line though, except the corrosion part...

Metal rusts. That rust looks easily preventable. What is your gripe exactly?

Did you do anything to try and remove the rust?

That is a little suprising for sure.

No offense intended. Maybe I misunderstood your third and fourth sentences.

Ten 4 all is good. I was just disappointed in the lack of customer service, I called IW and chatted w a female. And she could have cared less.

I had rust problems with Tooth of the Arrow heads one year when it was wet. Cleaned them up and put some veg oil on them and good to go.

This one sat in the dirt for a few months, twice.



I have a buddy who lost one on a turkey, he found it a year later, little discolored, but they still get sharp just fine. It's something that effects the aesthetics of the head, but doesn't change the performance.

Here's the same head the first time it was lost for a few months.

It's currently lost again. Hopefully I find it.

I chipped a tip of my iron will broadheads twice shooting them into each other and they sent me brand new heads within a week each time. I quote mine with a wax used for coating guns and rifles, never had any rust.
