I took them out of the package and the assembled head was very nice to look at.........the blades and machining matched up perfectly and there was no wobble, movement or visual problems I could detect. They even look very cool. I like the deep hunter green.
I grabbed the un assembled heads and again very clean work and no visual defects. The housing is solid in appearence and looks to be as strong as one could expect from a broadhead. The blades were very sharp (pleasant surprise) bleeders and main blade alike. I was pretty stoked so far so I screwed one into a Maxima and off I went.
First shot was at 40 yards because arrow flight is my #1 priority with BH's...........she flew like a dart so I was off to a good start........and it looked to be a dandy of a shot as well. As I approached sure enough it was right in the 10 ring
Now we're talkin'
I stepped back to 30 and again........up to 20........back to 30.........20, 30, 40...........didn't matter. She was just dialed in and seeing how I hadn't shot in 2 or 3 days I will be honest and say that I was shooting better then I thought I would.
As a point of interest the heads were drilling into my new Yellow Jacket with excellent penetration (based on how far I know my arrows usually go in) I know this is probably meaningless but it's all I have to offer at this time. I have little doubt that these heads should have any penetration problems.
2 possible negatives that entered my mind were that I do not know how this head will do if it smacks bone hard (I feel that way about every head though and I just prefer to not hit where I shouldn't).......sometimes things happen though and the tip of these does not appear to be a bone smasher if that's what you like in a BH. The second thing I noticed is the cutting blades are set back a decent distance from the tip. This is most likely meaningless as well but I do like getting good damage as far in as the arrow can possibly go. With these heads if there is no passthrough the damage will be about 1" short of where the arrow stops. I may be nit picking here.
I like the heads...........I like them alot actually. If I had to go hunting tomorrow I would be very comfortable with them. We will see if that changes over the next 2 months but so far so good.
The blades are replaceable and this head can be shot as a 2 blade or a 4 blade. There are no screws, clips, rings, bands, or tools. The blades snap into and out of place very easily without ever needing to touch a sharp edge.
Check them out if interested..........I think you will like them
