I can't offer any experience with the Snypers but I bought the Gator XP's and tried them out this year and am extremely imnpressed with them. I have killed 3 deer with them and all dropped within sight. On the 1st one I killed, I sliced right through the 2nd & 3rd rib, still got a complete pass through and buried 8-10" deep in the ground. Blood trails are not a problem. The only complaint I guess I have with them is it is a pain to replace the blades in them. Other than that, I am extremely pleased. Keep in mind though that I shoot over 70# of kinetic energy so penetration is not a problem.
