Let me tell a little story
I've been shooting 100 grain Muzzys from my bow since I first
Got it at sixteen. I'm 23 almost so that's seven years of shooting.
I can hit vitals ( about a ten inch circle)every time out to eighty yards with the Muzzys
Within 50 yards I typically can shoot the heart.
I couldn't tell you how many shots I've put through that old pse nova but it's a lot
My girlfriend got me a present, god bless her she thought she was doing a good thing.
Come to find out she had spent 50 bucks on three grim reaper broadheads, if I remember correctly one was a practice broadhead that did not expand?
She has no clue how us fixed blade guys are lol anyway I put them on my Arrows to make her happy
They were 100 grains so the drop from 20 to thirty should be the same as the 100 grain Muzzys.
In theory with the same weight broadhead you shouldn't have to adjust your pins just your entire sight.
So I moved my sight so that the grim reapers were hitting dead in bullseyes at 20 yards every time. Which they do very well. However try shooting much past that and you'll find out they definitely do not have "field point accuracy"
Groups out at forty yards were ridiculous, I'd say ten inch groups.
And fifty it was probably foot groups.
I have a 4x4 foot styrofoam block as a target and I wouldn't shoot the grim reapers out at sixty yards out of fear of losing my arrows.
I put back on my Muzzys and will never even glance at another mechanical.
All In all the things felt flimsy and poorly made, and they don't fly good at all
O rings are never going to be a part of my bow or my hunting
I have a few nice things to say, at 20 they flew very nicely so if your hunting a bait station and know your shot will be twenty or less you could use them (but you'd be just as happy with walmart cheapos at those yardages)
Ok one kind of alright thing to say about them....
Point is you aren't going to be shooting 5 inch groups at 80 yards like I do with muzzy
You said something about O rings. Did you have problems with the O rings on those reapers?
So far, out to 50yds, I shoot ethical distances with my weapons, I have yet to get any groups outside 8" with all 6 arrows.
Flimsy? So shooting through 55gal steel drums would not be a comparision for the durability of a broadhead? They shoot just fine through steel drums and stick in the opposite side with no damage to the ferrule or point. Just some of the blades need replacing or shaprening. And blowing through the gristle plates on a hog in and out. Wash off, resharpen and good to go!!! Brian Quacka AKA PigMan, can attest to this!!
