Can you tell the broadhead you have seen?

thanks have a happy holiday!

If it was also capable of comparable penetration to fixed blade heads. If it gave comparable reliability, not opening in flight but opening easily when it should. I might consider using mechanicals if all those conditions were met. It's not likely that head will ever be made though.

There is still a legal technicality with most mechanicals. They could be considerred illegal in those states with laws against using barbed heads, since the back of the blades is at an angle more than 90 degrees from the ferrule when they're open. If the head hits bone and bends the ferrule, the blades could be jammed open. That would make the mechanical a barbed head. I'd hate to be the one trying to explain it to a judge.

I have nothing to show you because I saw first hand
the product demoe Live. This is truly amazing, all
the problems that exist today with all types of
broadheads were looked at and effectively answered.
They showed there is no way it can catapult or
wedge, The tip blows huge holes but uses very little
KE because of the design. As for opening the blades
they have three independent methods that allow the
blades to open, and there are two devices that hold
them closed. This is not a JOKE this broadhead is
the catsAXX !!! I can't wait to use one.
This broadhead will work for any poundage bow. The
KE loss is so minimal to get the blades to open in the
animal it is amazing. More info to come as it becomes
available. I am waiting to get some pictures to post.

Good Hunting

I use Grim Reaper broadheads. The thing is you can shoot them fixed or machanical. I use mechanical and have seen the best bloodtrail ever after a double lung with one!!

If you are talking about AfterShock Archery broadheads you are right on the money. This is the broadhead that can do what you claim. I got my hands on some in oct. and it works like no other broadhead.

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!

In my experiences, mechanicals are more forgiving granted you dont hit a shoulder blade. I consider myslef a pretty good shot and with some patience usually get an easy shot on an animal. As for overall forgiveness, shoot a fixed blade. You hit it in the chest region it should penetrate and leave good blood. But if you're confident on your shot, mecanicals devestate game leaving great blood trails. My head cuts 2.5 inches, though.

has anyone shot the buck-blaster from rocket its a fixed in front and about an inch down is a mechanical it looks wicked[>:]
