bghunter777 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I have shot Rockets for years originally using the miniblaster then switching to the sidewinder about 8 or 9 years ago. I have also played around with the steelhead on elk wich is an amazing little broadhead. My confidence in sidewinders is amazing I have taken 14 deer with sidewinders recovering every deer i drew blood on. 14 for 14 These heads have bailed me out of situation where I was in my stand kicking myself for the shot I had made only to hear him pile up seconds later. I have hit deer everywhere from quartering away to almost head on and everywhere in between. I have shot directly through shoulders ect. I could go on and on. This is not to advocate poor shot selection as I try and take the most ethical shots I can but real world hunting situations sometime dictate less than ideal angles There was a short time I switched to Rage simply bc everyone else was I went 2 for 4 with Rage and had penetration issues when contacting large bone. I quickly went back to Rocket Sidewinder. My question is who else uses these or any of the other Rocket line I am curious as to the prevelance of these heads in todays market.

DropTine49 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I really like the Rocket Hammerheads. I have several packs of the HammerHeads, 2 packs of Sidewinders, a pack of Swhackers, and some Carbon Express F-15's. The Rocket broadheads are an awesome product, from the old origional "Rocket Arrowheads" to the new Trophy Ridge rockets. Every deer I have ever killed with a bow have been with the Hammerheads!

dbHunterNY Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 my uncle used the miniblasters for years and then started having a bunch of bad luck with them. otherwise i would've switched to them (steelheads). i shoot rage now and haven't had troubles but i haven't had a poor shot yet and slammed right into all shoulder bone. for now rages work, so i'm not changing. when i do the heads you mentioned will be on the list to check out.
