WV Hunter:

No, it' s not the " Rockets." I do not yet know how they will perform in the field. The head I ended up with is the 125 gr. Cabela Lazer Pro, and now the 125 gr. Cabela Lazer Surpeme w/replaceable stainless steel tip.

When I first started using the Cabela head, I believe it was $13.99 for 6 heads, and $6.99 for 18 replacement blades. They cost more now, but still far below popular brands.

The only feature I did not like on the " Lazer Pro" was the rubber " O-ring" as a blade retainer I dumped it and use a standard aluminum retaining washer. What I really like about the " Lazer Pro," is that the heel-tab actually rides partially underneath the collar of my inserts.

I also got my brother, nephew, and close friend to switch over to the Cabela' a. I am not go into all the circumstances of use, but I will say that they have far surpassed what we thought they would/could do. I have had some name-brand heads not perform as well.

Using one incident; my nephew, using 2314' s@67 lbs., dropped two does 10 minutes apart. On the first doe, from 23 yards, the head fractured a rib going in and exiting, took out her main works, and stuck in the ground. She made it about 75 yards. On recovery, the head and blades were found intact.

On the second doe, at 23 yards, he busted her so hard, she jumped, twirled and fell right where he hit her. We determined that the head took her between 2 ribs going in, went right through her heart, cracked a rib on exiting, and stuck in a sapling. We removed the head from the tree and found the head and blades intact.

Last season, the same nephew and I made a devastating hit on deer using the same head. What the " Lazer" did on my buck was impressive, but I personally have never seen a head do what the " Lazer" did on his doe. From a ground position, and about 15 feet above, he had a shot to her left side from about 24-yards. As he released, the doe moved and angled to the right, causing the shaft to hit farther back than any of us want.

The shaft went shot through the ham of the left rear leg, slammed in behind the rib cage, went forward in a downward angle and open her up from mid belly to sternum as you would when field dressing. She dumped half of her intestines as she fled. It was no problem recovering her. The head was intact.

On second thought, why in the hell am I considering a change for lesser cost and possibly good flight without much tweak? Does not make much sense, does it? []
