... is starting to looka littlebleak. As soon as I start toto take an interesta BH, Ilearn something aboutit I don't agree with, dislike, or find bad reviews on it.
First was the Grim Reaper. Nothing wrong with this BHexcept it was a jacknife.
Second was the Trophy Ridge undertaker but I don't like the deployment method.Watching the video on their website, it looks like there's some sort of spring tension involved in the blade deployment that could suck more KE than I wanna give up.
Third was the G5 Tekan II which got some really poor reviews from a link I found. Some people reported bad blood trails and others had problems with the blades constantly deploying in the quiver. This was with the 1 5/16 cutting diameter head.
There's of course the Rage but man the ferrule design on that thing is just hideous to me. I also don't like the issue with the o-rings getting torn up. They're expensive to begin with, the replacement blades are as well, and then on top of that you gotta keep replacing o-rings? Seems like too much headache.
uhhhhh maybe I should just go back to... see below...

I have shot a 100 grain 2 1/2" 2-blade vortex for over ten years and have had more animals than I can remember fall victim to them. I never did do all the research back then, I just asked a couple buddies that had been doing this for awhile what they suggested and they both told me vortex's and they haven't failed me on any animal that I have hunted from turkey to exotic's and everything in between. Good luck on your quest.

I use the Snypers, I don't see your issue with the O rings either.
Broadheads, (ALL broadheads) are one shot and done. To practice I either tie them shot or use thin strips of tape. The ORings are the last thing to worry about.
Rob, I started to take an interest in your snypers as well. Only, the rubber band deal turned me off a bit. I don't remember since I've only been dizzying myself with google searches but, do the snypers use the o-ring like the Rages do too? And the cam system is same?

oilpatch, just took a peek at your vortex's and they're a jacknife style. I'm trying to stay away from those. Thanks for the vote of confidence though.

I already told you toease you mind and justget some slick tricks. Problem solved.
They fly as good as any mechanical, are 100% steel so they area heck of a lot stronger than any mechanical made or aluminum fizxed head, no flimsy blades,, No rubber bands or o-ringsto worry about, theycut huge ammounts of tissue (more than many mechanicals even).
What's not to like?
Do you shoot 100 grain or 125 grain heads?
