I'm sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I myself have a set of Eskimo and 2 sets of the Delta's. Great products. My heart felt condolences to his family.

Sorry to hear about his passing. Yes, it seems we have lost more than a few lately. I had a few dozen of his BH‘s over the years. I liked the Delta the most. A tough BH and not all that difficult to get hunting sharp.

That must have been a popular Broadhead! Thanks for sharing the story.

Condolences to his family and friends.
After Hugh Rich passed away Jack Zwickey contacted me concerning the Black Diamond broadheads. Seems that Cliff Zwickey, Jack's father and inventor of the Black Diamond, sold all the heads he made and didn't keep any. They became popular quickly and he had trouble keeping up with demand. I didn't find any. Hugh told me you placed an order for Black Diamonds and then you waited. And waited. And waited. Eventually they would show up and sold out rapidly. Then you would start the process again.
I had some good correspondence with Jack, by mail and phone, on several occasions. He was a gentleman.

He was an amazing inventor. He built VG broadheads, maybe one of the all time greats still used today..
