Depending on where and what you are hunting they can be illegal. Check this out before you purchase any. BTW, sometimes they don't work so great on big game.

We use them on hogs down here in Florida so we can get a bloodtrail right away. That fatty skin on pigs likes to seal the wound with regular heads and if you don't have blood right away you lose them fast in the heavy brush. Without a direction in the first 15 yds, they disappear into the palmettos and it's like finding a needle in a haystack. The game trackers seemed to work best for us because it has an almost full size two bladed with an expandable behind it. Unbelievable blood, but you do sacrafice a little penetration. I'd rather have them run a little further with a good trail though.

A lot depends on how much Ke your setup produces. Gators and Snypers are both excellent heads provided you have enough KE to push them through. If you can give me a little more info on your setup I can help suggest some good heads. Draw weight, length, arrow weight, arrow speed etc.

i'mshooting a Mathews Q2 set at 65lbs, 28 inch draw with carbon express 400 arrows. they weigh 400 grains with 100 grain broadheads. I think i'm shooting around 275fps.

With your setup I would suggest going with the snypers. They will give you better penetration, a good size cut and should get the job done.
