Default Rocket steelhead 100

I just broke 3 brand new one's out of their pak. screwed them into my 22" 2216's and at 30 yds. bench and sandbagged, shot 2" group. Just switched fom field pts. to B'Heads. So they are as good as the Slicks out of the pak.[8D]Used my Exocet 200 fer test too really make them speed along!

Been shooting the steelheads 100gr heads for years out of my compound as well as the Pheonix. Forme they really do fly like darts and I have never had a failure of any sort.
My only complaint would be that I like to shoot ALOT of broadheads prior to the season andthey give you about 10 O-Rings/Bands which is not enough. You would think they could spare a few more. I tried to contact them but the web sitecontact link does not work and the 800 # also is having problems.
Our old but seldom seen Pal JayGail said I could buy a bag of them but I have had no luck. I also heard super glue would work for practice
Just for fun Smoke try a couple without bands. They still seem to fly great.
I think they got a B+ on that site that is reviewing broadheads.

John, can't you just tie them up with dental floss like the Wasp Jackhammers?

i use thin florist's wire to tie the jackhammers closed....works great. btw you can get bunches of o rings at a hardware store or auto parts store. just for your info.

Just a few minutes of snooping on Google and I found a place where you can buy a box of 5000 of those rubber bands - pardon, make that "oral latex elastics" - that come with Steelheads for less than $25. If you're an all out fashion plate, for a dollar more you can get 'em in neon colors.[8D]
