Default RE: Killer Broadheads

I sometimes think companies get carried away with going bigger. There are loads of good heads out there that have been causing serious damage for years. 1.25" cd- 1.75" cd heads have been around forever but thenew 2" cut broadhead well it's all the "Rage". I think there is a such thing as overkill and the archery industry is flooded with it. I have no no doubt many people love the Rage head but I was turned off by the recalls, Iknow it happens and that their QA department has addressed the issues but it is still inthe back of my head. I use the Rocket Ultimate Steels and Steelhead 100'soften and they bothhave a cdthat is either 7/8 of an inch or 1"(can't quite recall for the US) and 1 1/4(for the SH 100)but they are super sharp, tough,and accurate. Every deer I have shot with them never travelled more than 75-80 yards. So because ofexperiences like that I don't really understand the necessity to go bigger unless you take or make a lot of marginal shots.

At the end of the day a lot of this stuff is personal preference and what "you" feel confident with in the woods. If the heads you are using are killing then use em' if they are not or you are woundingmore deer than you should(which would be 0 in a perfect world), switch them ifyou want tobut know this99%(completly fabricated percentage)of the time that wounded deer wasn't caused by the broadhead, it was cause by the injun behind the bow.
