I dont like them. They never seem to fly right and there expensive and they dont hold up.

So i will stick with my thunder heads. So far i have shot 4 deer with them and only bent one. and im not even sure why it bent. But the others that i shot deer with are fine.

I was going to post about these on Sat. evening after being out in the yard doing some target practice with both the bow and X-bow. Well I only ended up shooting one of the threeand it hit exactly where I wanted it to and it penetrated about another inch and a half into my McKenzie compared to other tips. Only thing was when I went to pull it out all 3 blades broke of because of how they are curved at the ends (NOT THINKING). But only after one shoot they seem to fly straight and are sweet looking. Only thing is when you go to screw them in and put pressure on the blades they seem to bend. So far the strongest blades that I have found on the market are the NAP blades.IMO....

I killed three deer with them last year, and yes the deer bled like crazy but they are essentially a one time broadhead and then you have to replace the blades at a minimum. I had one of them bend at the hosel fairly badly. They do the job if you are in to dropping $10 every shot and not concerned about reusing them. IMO there are a lot better broadheads on the market. Consistency shouldn't be an issue if your bow is tuned properly so there isn't alot of value in their claim of flying just like field tips.

I got my fiance into bow hunting this year. She wanted to shoot them. They shoot good groups, but when you pull them out there is and art to it. You have to try to twist while you pull them out like they went in.
She hasn't shot a deer yet.
Basically, they will kill a deer just like anything else. It's all a matter of preference and confidence. Get whatYOU want.
