Crimson Talon broadheads
 
Does anybody shoot these broadheads, at first I thought they were a joke. But they have a web site and people are killing big game animals like elk with them. They just look like they would break all to pieses and never have a chance for a pass threw.

I shot the talons for a while. Pretty swet bh's. They do exactly what they claim, spiral wound tract, good entry hole (in a target at least, never shot deer with them). The only complaint I had with them is that the spiral wound makes it a pain to remove arrows from a target, but they did shoot quite consitent for me right out of the package.

I switched to them last year. I have written this before, but they fly great and inflict a massive amount of damage to the animal. Even a "marginal" hit results in a short track job w/ profuse bleeding. I love them and am 100% sold on them..

I love them they're the first fixed blade that ever shot dead on with my field points. The damage is unbelievable the exit wound looked more like a gun shot than a broadhead.

I liked them at first and they obviously would be a pretty devestating bh. For some strange reason
the first time I shot them I got decent groupings, but after that it was not as consistent and not
grouping with my field tips (2-3" right). I paper tuned my bow, made a slight adjustment and still
couldn't get them shooting how I wanted them. It was really wierd - maybe it had something to do
with all the spinning. My target is ripped to shreds too. [&:]

I get a lot better groups nearly matching my field points with the G5 Strikers so I switched for the
confidence. I would rather feel confident I can hit right where I aim and find the kill zone than worry
about the damage it will do.

When I first started using them they flew a little funny too. I had them on a four feather fletched arrow. When I made a three feather fletched arrow to use with them they started shooting like my other arrows and field tips. Due to them having the curved frontblades if you have too much fletching control then you will have the back and the front "fighting" each other for control and that would cause some strange flight. Anyway, that was what I found. I am using them along with a couple othersthis year. I'll see what they do.

I used the 2 blade 100 grain last season and they flew great. The only down part I experienced is the blades easily bent. I don't know if I caught a lot of bone or what, but I never even attempted to re-use the same broadhead twice. One and done with my harvests.
