I finally recieved my new Cabela's archery catalog yesterday and saw some interesting new broadheads. In the mechanical line: Rockey Mountain Snyper XP3 & Rockets Recon XP. Fixed blade: The Atom & Tight Point Shuttle T-Lock. I was hoping to get some opinions from the member on how these might preform. I would also like to hear if 5 Shot has had a chance to test them yet. The theory of sharp wires instead of blades... this might be debated for a long time.

I have not shot any of the mentioned broad heads but I'm also interested in the Atom. I like the idea of the design and will likely give them a try this fall. There was a post in the bow hunting forum about the atom but it was a review done by the manufacturers friend.

I have shot the snypers. good broad head. Though I prefer the rocky mountain gator xps 100grn. better. They fly like no other that I've shot. Also, have the best rating for expandables at broadheadtests.com

5 shot

I have not tested any of them yet, but I do plan on getting to them asap.

Did you see the price of the atom...44.99 for 2 thats right 2. They should butcher the deer into steaks for that price.

It seems like a wire that is supposed to bend would actually push the arrow of course or deflect it slightly when in contact with heavy bone. Action = Reaction. I have used the Snyper mechanical before, but I wonder about a three blade offset mechanical. I cannot figure out how the recon is supposed to work yet, but I am still doing the research. The tight point shuttle is interesting design on a fixedblade, but those upward turned blades ... wouldn't that add some additional friction to broadhead when entering? New designs, lots of opinions.
