mauser06, there is a reason I tried the Snypers in the first place. 5 Shot did a broadhead test review on them and he ranked them with Muzzy. After shooting Muzzy for over 15 yearss and I still do I tried the Snypers...OMG they leave an unbelievable hole and are flawless. I don't blow smoke when I preach of them.

Yes, loosing a rubber band every shot is normal. Tie them shut with dental floss or I cut 1/16" buy an inch or more long pieces of electrical tape with an exacto knife and put the tape pieces around the blades where the o rings go. That's saves the orings and you can shoot as much as you want simply change the tape.
