Mechanical heads , who's best ?
 

I tried a search of the huntingnet site , but somthing is wrong and I cannot get anything . Anyway , I was hoping to shoot the Rage expandables this year . I cannot find 125 grain heads anywhere . I assume they aren't made in that weight . With that being said - Who's got the best 125gr expandable . I will not be shooting from a tree stand . Thanks .

I like the 100gr. 2--blade Rage.

If your going with 125gr. i would go with the G5 tekan II expandables. they have 100gr. and 125gr.

I took nearly 30 deer with Rocket Aeroheads, and have complete faith in them... I also hear great things about Rage's 2-blade heads these days.

I've been hearing a lot about rage also... But if I was going to shoot expandables I'd shoot Grimm Reapers...

Rage is worth switching to 100 grain!

RE: Mechanical heads , who's best ?
 

I agree and you won't be disappointed!

Greg,
Are you using the slammheads? Was just checking the website.
Also when you leaving again for your elk hunt?

Hey Tony... I took about 20 or so with the Miniblasters, and then started adding the Pathfinder tip to them. I think they finally started making that head in a production model later. The last ones I used had the same 1 3/4" cut, Pathfinder head, but had the little "L" wings on the tips of the blades to help leverage them open. I thought those would be helpful given the hole one of those Pathfinder tips might blow into the hide.

I don't think I ever had a deer make it past 50 yards out of all those kills with the Rockets, either.

I leave next Wednesday afternoon on my elk hunt... I've been getting everything out and ready and trying to make sure I don't forget anything! I've got a thread up somewhere on the first page asking for help. :)

Sounds good thanks for the response.
As for the trip one advice is to go find a hill near you put a back packon run up it once and see where you are physically. I use to live in CO and when I first moved there wow its a killer. Make sure you have some weight in that back pack also. Good luck and post them pics right away when you get back.
