Since no one seemed to have a review in these, I thought it was my turn. I bought a pack of the Dead Ringer Freak Nasty 100 grain broadheads to test out. Package contained 3 broadheads with O rings and 3 additional O rings. First thought was the ferrul is narrower then I my tried and true Muzzy 100 grain 4 blades. Also the Trocar tip appears smaller when side by side to the muzzy's.


Pulled out the reloading scale and verified zero. My field tips all were dead on at 100 grains. First Dead Ringer weighed 102.5 grains, second 102.3 grains and the last broadhead was 101.8 grains. Was hoping for better tolerances and closed to the 100 grain mark. These were weighed with the O rings on. O rings all weighed 1.5 grains by themselves.


Really liked the design being 7/8" in the closed position. Even if you get a broadhead that does not open, it still cuts at 7/8". The fronts are sharpened along with the blades. Sharpness appeared to be on par with the Muzzy's.


I was concerned about the flight as I have yet to get perfect field tip accuracy with any broadhead. Really like how the bow is shooting field tips after the tuneup, so was hoping I could be spot on. Spin test should no wobble. Was concerned about the flight of the arrow more so then the lethality at this point. Therefore, whether or not the broadhead opens and cuts was not my primary concern with the flight test. I am not eating my Rhinehart target. Since the O rings weighed 1.5 grains each, I removed the ring and tied 1.5 grains of dental floss in place of the O ring. Hope was to keep the blades from opening upon impact. Started right off at 30 yards and Almost Robin Hooded one of my field tips. Repeated this at 20 & 40 yards. Got about 5 rounds in before the dental floss was failing and called it quits.


Really liked how they flew and did not notice any POI changes due to the extra weight or changes from my field points. Also was impressed with the hole left in my Rhinehart target, even though the blades are closed. Muzzy 4 blades are 1" diameter. The Dead Ringers are 7/8" closed. Still would have confidence in them if they did not open as long as I do my part.


Bow season in Michigan opens 10/1/2016 and I am in need of meat. Hope to bring back a real world test and post some pictures.
