Well here is my new head. I did a little research because I wanted to try a mechanical this year. I read up on broadhead reviews from magazines and on line before buying these heads. 5shot's review closed it for me and I am not dissapointed. I tried the Rockey Mountain Snypers this year. I don't think I am going to change to anything else for some time. These heads are awsome. I used them on deer, shot a doe and a buck this year, and niether ran further then 70 yards before piling up. The entrence holes were larger then the exit holes on both animals. The entries were about 2 inches wide and the exits were about 1 1/8.

On the doe I shot, the arrow was stuck in the ground about 15 inches after the pass through and the ground was covered with blood around the arrow. I have taken alot of deer and never seen so much blood at the spot of the hit. A blind man could have followed this blood trail to the deer. The head was still intact and straight and the blades are in good shape, dull, but in good shape. I use it for target practice now with great arrow flight.

The buck I shot was a slightly quartering away shot and was a good hit. The arrow entered at the last two ribs, through the near lung, cut the top of the heart off, struck the upper opposit leg joint, broke the leg joint completely in two, and stuck out the opposite side approximately 12 inches as it ran off, three legged of course. It piled up about fifty yards away. The head was still in good shape and I have been using it, same blades, again for target practice.

My setup is a Mathews Legacy @ 70lbs, 29" draw, Gold Tip 5575's, 100 grn Snypers, 70lbs KE, at 283fps. My arrows are fairly light at about 395grns. Nothing overpowering and I think average by todays standards.

I have used Muzzy 125 3 blades, Sattalite Titans, and Thunderheads in the passed and actually, believe it or not, liked the Titans the best. I thought fixed was be the best way to go, but now I am not so sure. I think mechanicals, at least the Snypers, have caught up. I have a buddy that tried a new NAP mechanical this year, not sure the name, and I helped him track a doe. I was very impressed with this heads performance also. So, my advice would be to try a bunch and pick the one you like, but don'y be nervous about trying the Snyper, it is AWSOME!
