i took both of my birds last spring with these heads they say to use their arrows but i used gold tip full lengh arrows with 5 inch feathers and they flew fine out to 20 yards.a draw back is they are big and they will not fit in a quiver so i carried them in a zip lock container until i got to where i was going. and yes the blades do break easy i broke both heads i shot. i have one left and will use it this spring but i will not buy anymore.

How do you carry them in the field?...They can't possibly be compatible with any quivers I've ever owned!

IEL.....It is like shooting a great big Judo point. It probly hurts like hell but it wont kill them. They will run off but they will live another day. Like I said it is like shooting a deer with a blunt.

I asked about these in an earlier post with not much response.
I to was curious about how good they were and if they would work well on a larger bird like a Canada goose?I think i would like to try them because of the its either dead instantly or its a miss

I think I'm going to steer away from them also. To pricey for something that breaks easy, is inconvenient, and more challenging.

thanks for the testimony. Yes they might break easy, but I think the same as someone else mentioned, either a kill or miss....... I am definitely going to use them when I get home from here. Been debating and was waiting to hear from someone who had used them other then the sight! Thanks! [8D]

I have them, haven't had a shot at a turkey yet. A whisker bisquit type rest will tear up the feather fletchings of the special arrow you need to use to shoot the gobbler guillotine head aftera couple dozen shots. I am going to site mine in, then get it refletched for the season.

Well, from what I am reading here.........I ain't impressed. They are expensive to begin with, not very durable....AND I need a "special" arrow to shoot them??????? Sounds like a ........oh what's the word..........

SCAM!! Yeah, that's it. No thanks. I'll stick with arrows I ALREADY have and shoot a big rocket or something at em. Shoot....if Keith can hit one in the head with the Hammerhead.....so can I.

The website recommends 4 to 5 inch helical, but I think you would have to get a blade and shot it with your bow to see how it flys..... then you can determine if you need to refletch. I am gonna try, they I shoot 100 grains and it is a smaller area in front........

Rick C., think I will do the same, shoot and shoot for practice and then replace the fletch before season! Got a system I use already though.

I still want to know how you carry them in the field!
