Default RE: Rocket Steelheads?

ORIGINAL: txjourneyman

Wally World is having thier annual clearance. Rocket Steelheads are $11 for a 3 pack. I shoot 100gr. What do you think of these heads? I have always used fixed blades but I'm thinking about these for turkeys.
Took 2 deer this season with rocket steelhead 100 grain. Shot a doe at 20 yards, she did not know what hit her. She just stood there after the shot and i thought i had missed. Then she started to walk off and then finally once she realized what happened, she started to run off but she didnt even make it 15 yards and she was done. Double lung pass thru.

Took a real nice 8 pointer at 25 yards a week later. Did not have the greatest angle, actually hit just above the front leg, the steelhead penetrated bone almost 3/4ths of the way up the arrow. The buck took off and fell over dead 40 yards from my tree. No tracking involved in either of these cases.

Only downside i could find is the blood trail was minimal up until the point of where the deer actually went down. But when you consider that neither one made it 50 yards, not too big of a deal since it takes a while for the blood to start pouring out good to begin with. For 11 bucks, i would pick up a set. Im thinking of trying the Rage next year myself, but i will have my steeleheads around too. They fly exactly like the field tips too.
