Don't think they are out yet. Think I read they will be available the first of June or July. I've used the 2 blade Snyper and it worked great. Looking forward to this model.

The XP3 really has me excited. I used the original Snyper last season to take two deer and couldn't have been happier with the results. The only thing about the original I didn't particularly care for was the tip. I like the trocar style tips better as they are much more durable. They now put a trocar style on the XP3. This head should be awesome.

Default RE: rocky mtn snyper xp3

the head definitely has me interested as well. i am very curious how it performs. Due to the use of their cam action blade system, the blades themselves are not aligned with the center of the ferrule/arrow shaft. i wonder what kind of stresses are placed on the blades when they open in a animal...i'm not a mech engineer (just an electrical engineer) but it does seem like there could be introduced different stresses on the blades than those in the traditional styles. Any comment?
