I and my son have been using ST for three years and several animals with perfect results (perfect in this case, means no lost animals and great bloodtrails and all passthrus).

The thing I like most is we can shoot 300+ fps with no detriment to arrow flight. That gives us hunting confidence and we will us them exclusively for now as a I haven't seen anything better.

Oldhootowl, looking forward to purchasing when available.

I did the same thing with a motec 100 grain head and in my opinion they have to be one of the most durable heads out there, needless to say it was ruined after hitting the support rod...it bent all to hell. I also tore up a thunderhead the same way.Also needless to say that you (we) aren't supposed to hit that spot in the target[8D]. I haven't tried the slick tricks yet but I plan to this season as soon as the re-tooling is completed.

Are you shooting those robotic deer used by game wardens to catch poachers?Joking... sounds like you had some bad luck there, sorry

yeah, i was thinking that some more practice may be in order before hunting if you're hitting the support a lot.

I'd have to say that these head were the most accurate that I have ever used from a compound. They blades were thick and tough, they withstood thousands of practice shots. I never had a problem with the sharpness of the blades and after practicing with them, I could resharpen them easily. Took many deer with them. But ifthey can be made even sharper, more power to you.

FWIW,

Remember there that there are folks that form an opinion even before seeing one or using one. When they do finally use one a biased opinion has alreadybeen formed. - Shame.

I love these heads. I plan to hunt a good bit from ground blinds this year, and plan to use these as my primary head when in a blind and shooting through mesh. I will have a mixed quiver of these and the new rage slip cams.

Gary (oldhootowl), can we get you to come on here and give us an announcement when the new heads are ready to go? Or do we just need to keep checking your site?

I just went tonight and bought some at the local shop and brought them home and the blades were alittle on the dull side compaired to my Muzzys but I was able to sharpen all 6 blades in a matter of minutes and they are sharp as my Muzzys ever are. That will work for me. Ill shoot them for the first time tomorrow night.

Mine fly as good as FP's and leave anasty exit hole. It only takes mea few seconds to hone the blades on a stoneand make themvery sharp. I will agreethat the ferrule is the weak point of the head, I have salvaged blades after pulling out of tree's ,but have lost a few because of the ferrule breaking. I think any head wouldsuffer damage when shot into steel bar, or trees,LOL.
I willcontinue using ST's they are my no 1 choice in BH's.

I tried them 2yrs ago on a friends advice. At 13yds the ST just stuck into the shoulder of a large 8-point. We found the broken arrow,only 2" went in. My friend agreed the muzzy's I normally use would have gone right on through. I'm sold on Muzzy!
