I saw on another forum where folks were having issues with blades falling completely out of the head after shooting into a layered foam target like a block. The idea and theory behind the heads seems great but durability sounds like an issue. Mulitple folks reported the same finding with the heads, imagine how bad they would bust if they hit bone and tissue.

I shot mine the other day and had no problems. But since hearing this I put a dot a goat tough ontop of the screws to keep them from backing out.

I discussed this problem with one of NAP's engineers yesterday. The first order of Bloodrunners NAP recieved didn't have "loc-tight" applied to the small screws. This has cause some of the screws to come un-screwed easily.

All current and future Bloodrunners won't have this problem. If you got one of those early broadheads, give NAP a call, I'm certain they will take care of you!

Hopefully they use the medium loc-tite note the red. otherwise you will never get that small screw out.

hey todd , is there any way to tell the bad batches from the good ones

WKP Todd · 09-04-2009, 06:06 AM

Not that I know of - but just double check the tightness of the bolts on them before shooting to make sure. If you need to, just call NAP and talk with them - find out what they recommend. They have been in the buisness forever, but with any new products and in manufacturing, stuff happens! They will take care of you!
