I have experience with a few of the heads you mentioned.

The 75 Jak- Hammer;....... This is a good sturdy head. Stays together. Blades are thick and don't bend easily but can bend. Have taken several deer with them. Good bloodtrails but did have a couple that were not complete pass thrus. Fly like my field points.



The 75 Muzzy;....... Also a good sturdy head. Have taken 5 deer with them. Complete pass thrus on all shooting 60 lbs on an old out dated 1996 Proline Mountainbow. Just wanted to mention the bow so you could see I was getting pass thrus with that outdated technoledgy. These also grouped with my field points.




The Ultimate Steel;...... Just updated my old bow with a Diamond Victory and bought these heads. No kills. They group with my field points. Cutting dia. is small 7/8". I got a good deal on a 6-pak for $20 at Gander Mountain last year. Since that time, I had two heads that had a blade fall out of them. The arrows were in my hip quiver and somehow were missing a blade when I pulled them out. If they fall out in a quiver, what will they do in game? I'm not sure about this head.



And Rocket 75 Miniblaster;.......I know this isn't the 57 grn Wolverine but I'll give my experience with the Mini Blaster. I've taken around 20 deer with these heads over several years. I did like them, except they were only good for one shot. Blades bend and break easily. They flew like field points and left good blood trails. At they end of each season I would disassemble several heads and to get the good blades just to put one good head together. I got tired of this after several years and switched to the Wasp 75 Jak-Hammers.

I am currently considering getting the Slick-Tricks. Haven't decided on Standard or Magnums.



Hope this helps

Windwalker, you're right... I should have thrown that in there: the 78-grain Miniblasters are definitely "throwaways" after using them.

i like 2 use rocky mtn. snipers.

Man you are a spead freak huh! I don't know of many people that could really give you any sound advice on what broadhead to shoot at those speeds. I don't know of any fixed position heads that would fly well at those speeds exspeacially with 4'' straight vanes.If you are dead set on using a fixed position broadhead you may want to consider a helical or at least blazer vanes,even then I would have to see it to believe it.GOOD LUCK!

My experience with Rockets is apparently like everyone else's - Completely ruined after one shot. I guess I'm only planning on shooting each one once. You'd think they'd come up with a .030+ blade design. But, if you're in the business of selling broadheads, making a more sturdy (translation: less breakable) head - that's counterproductive. From a business standpoint... If that makes sense?..?

I dunno if I've been lucky or what, but I've never had any problems stabilizing a fixed blade head. Every once in a while,(muzzy, for example)a certainhead that might change point of impact by an inch or two on me, but that's it. Maybe it's b/c I usebig feathers, which help FOC or maybe they juststeer them a little better, or maybe I'm just not really finicky about it - but I never have any problems getting broadheads to fly.

One thing to consider is that with an ultralight arrow, it's gonna put the FOC totally off the charts, and that should really help with a true flight.

Windwalker - thanks for the input - I kinda figured the Wasp might be a more sturdy option than the Rocket. By the way- I used to have a Pro Line Mountain Series bow. Slower than cold molasses. LOL Got deer with it though, so I guess it wasn't that bad. That 57 grain Rocket really has my attention. The thought of keeping my 250 grain yardage markings has me salivating.

I've been watching this thread off and on all day - waiting for someone to seriously challenge the wisdom of shooting an arrow that light. So far, no real bumps in the road . . . . . How large of an animal were you planning to hunt with the speedster setup?

Whitetails I think.



I'd be very tempted to use a heavy lincoln log 600+ gr arrow out of that puppy. Could you imagine shooting a big heavy alluminum with a big fixed blade around 260 fps. What a KE machine!


I think a 480ggr arrow would give you about 90 ft/lbs of KE. and the mid 280's on fps.


This info could be wrong btw

With a 600gr arrow that would give you about 87ft lbs of KE. That would punch thru anything.

What kind of bow are u shooting a 600gr arrow 260fps?
