This is game trackers fixed 2 blade cut on contact broadhead. Overall it preformed very well. In the plywood it penetrated very good for a two blade head, going all the way through with 12 inches of arrow shaft. In the tire it went all the way through one side, again with 12” of arrow shaft. In the steel drum it darn near got all the way through both sides, Only the last ¼” of the rear blades stayed in. This is as close as any head has got to going through both sides. I found accuracy to be very good and consistent. There was a slight “hissing” sound in flight, but it was very minor. The blade sharpness was disappointing though. The heads would shave a little hair, but I had to really push hard, and not every edge on every head would do it. I don’t think they will be hard to sharpen, but it is something to consider. Now for the bad news, I was shocked to read on the package that these heads are made in china! I liked their performance, and you really can’t beat the price( they just may be the cheapest well made head on the market) but I personally want to buy American made products whenever I can. Based entirely on their performance though they are a very good value. You will have to make up your own mind on whether or not you want to use them based on where they are made. I am going to do some more checking but to my knowledge, every other broadhead manufacture makes their heads right here in the good old USA. These heads can most closely be compared with the Magnus stingers. Their performance was almost identical, while the game trackers cost about 10 dollars less per three, the Magnus heads have a lifetime guarantee, and are made in the USA.

I might be a touch patriotic or whatever, but since Gametracker moved their manufacturing overseas I don't use it. Just my choice as it is for everyone.

5 Shot,
Thanks for another great review. Sounds like a great head, but I'll put my money back into our pockets in the USA. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
tm,
nothing wrong with being patriotic. It's better to do it on our own, than to have to have something like 9-11 happen to bring out our pride in our country.

Good report as usual 5-Shot. I as well was turned off by a few of Game Tracker's products made overseas. I just don't believe the steel is as good.

Muskrat, they just may not work on american deer<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>. Couger They did well in my tests, and I am not sure about the quaility of the steel, but If I were to bet on it I would say it is a little softer than some other heads, but I can't say for sure. Like I said though I will stick with American made heads.

I sure am glad to see there are others that look to find where products are made before buying. Excellent review 5shot.
