ORIGINAL: BB9
JeffB, Great information. I am planning on going with those shafts this year and am switching from mechanical to fixed blade and heard lots of good things about the razorback. I am torn between those and the Rocky Mountain Titanium 100's which I have also heard are VERY good and fly really straight. Do you or anyone else know how much difference the spinning heads of the Razorback would have as far as accuracy or KE as a result of the shafts continuing to spin once the animal is hit?
Thanks.
BB9,
I think you couldn't do any wrong with either head. I've shot the RM Ironheads & the Ti-100 (same design, just steel vs. titanium), and they are tough, accurate and scary sharp. I sent a few to Orion's Bow a few years ago, perhpas he will see this and jump in. He liked 'em so much I believe he ended up on the RM Advisory Staff
I've found the Razorback to be very accurate, pretty stout,and easy to re-sharpen. I have not taken any game with them yet however. I believe our own 5-Shot tested the revised versions and they did quite well. I'm not sure about all that hullabaloo about spinning inside the animal..the original Razorbacks also touted the same benefit, yet Thunderheads (which did not have the rotating blade catridge) drove them to extinction in the NAP line.
I purchased them because I like the "specs" of the head, and was witness to some very impressive longer range groups using them out of a bow that supposedly has horrible nock travel and shouldn't shoot them so well. Didn't seem to matter, even at 280 some-odd FPS. The Razorbacks yielded groups just as tight as the NAP Scorpions that were being tested too.
