The things I get talked into... I went to my proshop this afternoon with the intention on picking up replacement blades for my Wasp Boss heads. No blades. Not wanting to order blades online and pay shipping I ask him for a suggestion of an alternative head. His eyes lit up. "You should try the Rage". "For real, with my setup?", I ask. "You should have no problems." Of course, I thought I was saved as the shop was sold out of those evil Rage heads Nope, the guy behind counter produced a pack of Tekan 2 broadheads. "Try these, I think you'll be impressed".
My initial impressions: Not too sharp out the package, but I know how to touch up blades. The blades open fully when I push the head through a single sheet of paper. I think G5's estimate of 3lbs of KE to open the blades is an overestimate. Is right there with my field points. So, far, despite being a good sized mechanical, this seems to be a promising head for me. Hopefully, I'll have a field report by Friday.

I gave them a try this year because I like the tekan design and I even killed a doe with them.Shot where I wanted it to goand it did the job, but I was not impressed with the size of the hole and lack of blood..

Good luck

Try the Grim Reaper and you wont be looking for anything else.

The Tekan II is an awesome blade and work great . I cannot shoot them as they are illegal in New York State because they are a "barbed" broadhead . [:@]

Are those Tekan II's Illegal in Wisconsin, I live in NY but hunt in Wisconsin. I dont know how to search it, nothing ever comes up. Does anyone know?

These heads are what made me never use a machanical ever again. I thought they were the next best thing until I shot a doe at 10 yards with them. I shot her right through the heart and the blades didn't open not one of them. I shot her in the snow and I watched her go down, I went to get my arrow covered in blood....but..... didn't leave a blood trail in the snow!!!!!!!!! I took the heart out when I was gutting her and it looked like a 22 hole through her heart!! the blades didn't open. I sure this won't happen everytime but once was enough for me.

Tune your bow and use a fixed head that flys well, Stinger, G5, slick trick, muzzy and many more. Mechanicals just offer something else that can go wrong, in bow hunting you can't afford for things like this to go wrong, it's not fair to the animal.

that guy at your pro shop probably just help you kill a deer tekan 2's are good broadheads ive took 3deer using mine...thes are great broadheads

Fuzzy,

According to my buddy that is from Wisconsin any barbed broadhead is illegal there.

Actually, a G5 prostaffer recently posted a hunt in Wisconsin using Tekans. Either they're legal or he's breaking the law.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBVEDCTQZjs&feature=related

I have taken 4 deer with the Tekan II now. All left blood trails Ray Charles could follow and half dropped in sight. I was most impressed with them this year when I had a bad shot on a deer. Arrow entered the front shoulder smashing it to pieces. It continued through the deer breaking the leg on the other side. Deer barely made it 20 yrds. A couple touches with a stone and it the Tekan is ready to go again. (I did replace the expandable blades) I only shoot 66lbs as well.

For the person that states the Tekan didn't open on his deer. The Tekan II has a 5/8" 4 blade cutting diameter in closed position. Add 1/8" cutting diameter to each blade and it would be legal to hunt with in many places, in the closed position! It sounds more like a field point was accidently used. I am not disputing it didn't happen, anything can.

The times I have used them they have performed flawlessly.
