I have only tested one Vortex head. A 2" model. I can say it was well made, opened quickly and was durable. If you have enough KE to push a head that large through deer I belive they will be devistating. I think you will need at least 65 ft/lbs of energy to make them work under field conditions though.

Well HighCountry...I went to bowjackson.com and put in your numbers. You are shooting 72 ft-lbs of kinetic energy.
