It looks to me like the Wolverine is the same head as the 100 grain steelhead, minus the bigger chisel tip.

Coug - give me some time to tinker around with my muzzy's first. I've never seen those Rocky Turbos before - they're a dead ringer for the old Kolpin Twisters.

Like I said earlier, if I'm gonna go with a fixed head, I'd like it to be 75 grains or under.

Anybody feel like tinkering around online and finding other heads that come in at 75 grains or under, just post a picture of them here, with the specs.

looks about 25 grains, should do the trick with the rocket launcher you are shooting
Like i said earlier look at that rage and damage it can do. I have a thread somewhere and Rick james has a picture that is just awesome[8D]

With that kind of crazy fast speed I'd be seriously leaning towards the smallest and shortest profile you can get. My choice for the ultimate in penetration and top end field point accuracy would be the Rocket Steelhead. If it's a fixed b-head that you would like, which I still have my doubts about with that kind of insane speed, I'd take a serious look at the Slick Tricks.

I've always been a bit of a speed nut. My old bow just wouldn't do it. Even with the cables twisted to the max, 77# on a 70 limb, preloaded, as light an arrow as warranted, string as bare as possible, missing strands... You can only do so much on an old one cam...

This new equipment really just takes it to another level.

My depth perception sucks, so I need to take as much of thearc out of the arrow as I can get.

Germ - don't cross me, or I'll stick one of those suction darts to your forehead. I've got a 70,000 yard pin, so you're in range.

Oh, brother! Glad I put on my waders before checking back in with this thread. IT BE GETTIN' DEEP! That's a reason to buy a rangefinder, not a new bow. Might as well go ahead and admit it because everyone has already figured it out. You just want to shoot a fast arrow. [8D]

The new bow upgrade (after added the dough from selling my old bow) was actually less than the price of a rangefinder. LOL

EDIT: Germ - I read that thread. Great stuff there. Those pictures are the reason that the Rage is getting such strong consideration.

Here is my thread on rage broadheads

That show I watch I was flat out stunned the hole it put in that deer.

Ultimate steel wouldn't even be a consideration. Blade retention sucks.

Two fixed blade headsI would strongly consider on that set up. Wasp BOSS Bullet 75 grain and Slick Trick 85 grain. The ST being my first choice.

Both of these two heads SHOULD provide you with excelent flight at those speeds.

I think the 75 grain Muzzy would be really iffy at 350 fps or faster.

If I were going to use a mechanical it would be the 75 grian WASP.
