Default RE: Gold Tip Gladiator Broadheads.

ORIGINAL: Snood Slapper

The reason you haven't heard about them is that they are a mediocre mechanical head (at best) that flies more like a fixed blade than a expandable, so they aren't very popular.They also have a lot more blade surface, so they don't penetrate well and take about 15-20 percent more KE than other mechanicals to open consistantly. There are other much better mechanicals out there.
Yeah, I don't agree. I used them 2 years ago on a spring turkey hunt, and they not only flew like a dart, but blew right through the turkey at 30 yards. Put that bird down fast. I would have no second thoughts of using this head myself. Maybe check out.....heck with it....I'm saying it...check out 5 shots site, www.broadheadtests.com and see if maybe he doesn't have a report on them.
