RE: broadheads
Todd, I hear ya, and you have to go with what you have confidence with. I used to Grim Reapers a while back. They are still the same design, but now offer two diff heads I believe. I looked at their data, and I personally believe that its close to true, but my personal experiences with them have found them to still have shot deflection on quartering shots. I was not getting the usual pass thru's that year, but looking back, I was using a much lighter arrow then. As with any mechanical head, shooting a little heavier shaft often times, helps out by increasing a little K/E. I use a drill press to test all the ferals of my broadheads before use, and my finding back then were found that many of heads ferals which were cnc'd from aluminum did not spin test well. Especially near the tips where they were turned in a lathe for the adaptation of the screw in razor cut head. I wasnt sure if they heated up in this process, and warped or what, but that was my findings then. Like I said, this was a while ago, and they probably changed their production processes. I myself, am going to stick with the PP's for a while longer as I have 20 packaged 3 pks still hanging on the wall of my bow tuning area. I also do not care for the cheesy rubber band either, and yes they seem to dry rot easily too. I have to agree there, but I still have too much confidence to change up right now, as I know I can stick that shaft on a dime whenever needed, and in the moment of truth, thats all that matters to us as hunters.
Now, get to work, so you and your gang could put together another awesome video for us!!!!
