I think that honestly has a lot to with the demand - is the fact they do wreck havoc on a deer - posting pics of the damage _ i have seen photos on several forums - and the demand skyrocketed -

I personally used them on the East Coast of NC - where I wanted the deer down quick - some nasty cutovers and the place is full of bears - Had a buddies deer being drug by a bear and also had one of mine mangled a few years back - Once I used them on the east coast tried G5 strikers - another good head but almost as pricey - I am not sure what I will try this year but have used thunderheads, muzzy, rocket sidewinders, rocky mtn gators, Rage, spitfires and a few others - I factor in the area and conditions for tracking when deciding - right now the RM Gators are looking to be my choice
