Just picked up a 3 pack of Rocket Stricknines on ebay for 6 bucks, shipping included.

I figure at that price I couldn't pass. Anybody else use the Stricknine, or the Hammerhead?

Please, no Rage posts.....

I've used the Hammerhead. Kills turkeys dead, and my second arrow into my buck wasa Hammerhead....Pretty wicked.I will say though, at a distance of 18 yards, right through the bread basket...No complete pass through. Buried up to the fletching, sticking out the other side, but still in there.

The thing I REALLY don't like about them.....when the blades sweep back they cut into my arrow....I've got 3 notches in it, rendering it useless.

Do they use rubber bands to hold the blades? Not bashing Rocket and I don't remember the model, but a buddy of mine shot through a 8 pt. this season and none of the blades opened. His model used rubber bands to keep the blades in until contact. When he retrieved his head the rubber band was still holding the blades. No vitals hit and the buck survived.

I used the Hammerheads for about 5 seasons. I loved them and killed a bunch of deer with them. Huge holes and massive bloodtrails. What I didn't like about them was they are pretty much a one shot and scrap em head. And like mobow said when I went to the FMJ arrows, as the opened up they cut thru the washer (that stops the bladesin the open position)and damaged my arrow. But they will definately open up a hole and do some damage.

I now use the R*** and love them.

They do use rubberbands to hold the blades in place. But I shot over 20 deer with them and never had that problem. There is no way this head will not open if you hit a deer with it. Those blades fly open on impact.

Cougar, yes they have a rubber band mid shaft to hold them closed. I've never heard of one like you described.

never tried them but am curious as to what people think about them
