clrj3514 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Just got a 3-pack of these broadheads. Anybody have any experience with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgitall Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've got a buddy that swears by them. He took 3 deer with them last year. I have no personal experience. Let us know what you think;flight and durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have used them for several years, and killed several deer with them. When you do your job, they will do theirs! Most dramatic kill was the one that yielded my avatar pic. A doe stood broadside at just a few yards and I put it low and tight. She went like 8 yards and stood there looking around, blood pouring out in big gobs. She fell right there. Good blades. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Use to shoots those heads at one point in time and they did a great job. Never let me down. Dad has been shooting them for who knows how long now and has no plans of switching to a new head anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clrj3514 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Sounds good to me guys. Everything I have heard about them is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Ive been shooting them and have taken several deer with them.....absolutely no issues. Just make sure you check to make sure none of the blades are broken off after you put one thru a deer...I have had a blade break off before...it could be in the deer still and you should be carefull dressing and butchering.

jdavis Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'm not a big fan of them; I shot them for 3 seasons and took 4 or 5 deer with them. The were very accurate just like my field tips but I was having issues with penetration. The last two deer I shot were both about 15 yards away broadside and the arrow barely made it out the other side. Both deer were shot right thru the ribs; I'm pulling 70lbs and I've never had an issue with any other type of broadhead at this range. I think they lose too much of their energy when the blades open. After that I switched to the rage and so far they have been excellent. I don't have plans to switch to anything else. The most important thing is accuracy; if they are shooting good for you then you should give them a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I took a couple deer with them and had no problems. I took a buck from 43 yds and a doe from about 7; both went less than 60 yds. They leave one heck of an exit wound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layin on the smackdown Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm not a big fan of them;. The were very accurate just like my field tips but I was having issues with penetration. . blades always bent never opened sometimes when i tried them i'll stick to my nap crossfires Yep...I lost a giant 8 pointer due to mechanical failure; the blades didn't open, and i only got about 3 inches of penetration on a 18 yard shot...I also had penetration issues, and issues with the blades bending. I gave mine away the day i lost that buck and will never even consider using them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabow Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I have taken many deer with them, not one failure. Only had a penetration issue once and that was caused by my bow being out of tune and it still made it's way through. Something that I do to help the blades open easier is pinch down the nipple a little on the insert next to the blade. They leave an awesome trail to follow, not that you need to.:jaw: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
