Rocket Aeroheads

I recently bought a package of Sidewinder 100 grain for turkeys. And i didnt notice until after I got home(1 hour from the place) That all i had was broadheads and no "little packet" full of rubber bands and little washers for my broadheads.... Anybody have their email add? I went to their site and found just a phone number. You would think they would have an email address to.. Thanks!

Also, will the sidewinders be ok shooting thru that shoot-thru mesh for a double bull blind?

rocket doesn't make it easy to contact them. You will probably have to give them a call. As for shooting through the net, I am not sure I don't have a blind and have not tried it, but I have heard mixed results from those that have tried it.

StealthArcher, go to your local orthodontist's shop which sells/fits braces. The little rubber bands people use on their braces will work just as well; I've used them several times in a pinch. No problem whatsoever.

I have some of those extra bands from my hated braces... The only things im really needing are the washer things now.. I was going buy the steel heads with there blade style makes it perfect for the shoot-thru mesh.. But i didnt because the cutting diameter is only 1 1/8... anybody have any of those little washers laying around they would mind sending off? I guess if worst comes to worst ill call them. Thanks guys!

Unfortunately, Stealth, I don't think I've got any of those left myself. I've usually ended up shooting without 'em for the past couple seasons.

Have you looked at a local hardware store? If they had them, they probably wouldn't be more than a quarter for a few of them...

I didnt even think about going down to the ole lumberyard and checking down there.. I thought about shooting the broadheads w/o the washers but i tried that a while back with the shockwaves with an older bow, and the blades went thru my inserts and chipped my arrows a little.. Ill have to go down by the hardware store tomorrow after school and check them out.. Did you like these broadheads? Im shooting a Diamond Machete and only plan on taking turkeys with them so i figured they could atleast get the job done. I have yet to take a turkey with my bow, so i cannot wait till spring.Thanks for your help!
