Has any one played with the new fixed blade from rocket. The "Ultimate Steel" . I checked 5 shots web sight and didn't see it yet. I picked some up last week to try out this season. They make some pretty big claims. Just curious. Jim

Go to the gear review forum and do a search it should be on the back pages their. Basicly the fly great, are sharp, and the blades fall out in two of my three test materials. I also lost a blade in my block target checking for accuracy! I feel rocket droped the ball on this peticular head.

TAKE YOUR KIDS HUNTING AND YOU WON'T BE HUNTING FOR YOUR KIDS

Thanks for the info on the so called "ultimate steel" heads. I found the review. (the search here leaves alot to be desired, I could not get it to bring any thing up no matter what I tried)

I think I'll go with the nail drivers you recently tested, they sound like a good head, or I'll give muzzy a try. I tried steel force and as you said in your review the heads have almost no bone penetrating ability. At only 15 yards with a 70 pound bow I got around 6 inches penetration in the shoulder.

I am curious about the rocket guarantee. Did they keep there promise? or haven't you heard from them yet? thanks Jim

I have not got around to sending them the heads, but I plan on doing it soon. I will let everyone know it turns out though.

TAKE YOUR KIDS HUNTING AND YOU WON'T BE HUNTING FOR YOUR KIDS

i think i know the blade you guys are talking about.. Small i mean real small steel 100 gr. They're about half the size of my 4 bld. 90 gr. muzzy's. My buddy has them and tho he says they get good penetration into his block. One ofthe broadheads lost 2 blades in one shot. Yep he said he shot it into the block the arrow popped out about 3 in. and 2 of the blades were gonna. Now that could be a good bad thing you know...
