RE: crimson talon broadheads??
I have shot the CT Xt's a good bit.
They look deadly = curved blades with 3 bleeder blades.
But here is my short experience and why I am switching to the G5 Striker:
(1) the CT did not fly as true as the Striker. They hit to the right about 2-3 inches at 25 yards.
This could be my problem, and it wouldn't necessarily keep me from using them, but the Strikers hit
dead center (if anything a hair low).
(2) I got much better penetration on my target from the Strikers. I think the CT will do a whole
lot of damage, but I want a pass through, especially for tracking. I don't think with all that
twisting and curved blades and bleeder blades (lot more surface area and angles) that the
CT is as likely to get a pass through.
For those two reasons I am switching. But I do think the CT XT is a well made head and will do a lot
of damage, it just didn't build that confidence in me to put it in my quiver on opening day.

Those little curved blades probably cause extra friction which can and will impede penetration. You also have to fletch the arrows in the same direction so the blades and fletching aren't opposing each other.
As far as damage? They have some blades and cut, just like every other head on the market. I'll take a good sharp straight bladed head any time. Frankly I can't believe this gimmick has lasted as long as it has.

I shot a doe with the CT's, I thought they shot alright, but when they hit the ribs it toasted them (blades) leaving a very poor exit, with almost no blood. Could have been a one time thing, but I went back to Muzzy. It took me forever to find that doe!

RE: crimson talon broadheads??
the new blades are super tough and some guys i talked to said they really couldnt beileve the damage done. i think they are less likely to get through a deer but with most bows today there should be plenty of KE to get it through .
