It surprizes me that you couldnt get the Striker to fly well.They flew like field points for me. Im going to use them on deer next season for sure.

Flight was only part of it (small part). Mine were noisy in flight as well.

I didnt notice noise but I will check now.Did you shoot them with blazers?

Comparing a COC to a bullet point head. I will never shoot a chisel (bullet point head) because its pushing and not cutting. I'm shooting a 1 1/4 cutting diameter 3 blade COC head with my recurve which is much slower then all of you guy's compounds you shoot and 90% to 95% of the time I get pass throughs. Reason being is COC. If I shot a chisel point I wouldn't have the same pass throughs all the time.

Shown is a "typical" rage exit wound.

I have had great luck with my heads and they are chisel point, they have been great on all north american game. A long time ago I considered the COC heads when I first started hunting with a bow but after making a bow hunt for a week in south texas and taking three large pigs with pretty thick sheilds, I came to the undisputed decision I was sticking with my heads. That has been 10 years ago and they have never failed to do their job. I am not one to change just b/c something new is out, so I have never thought about it again. I would consider a COC b/h if I were to go hunting in Africa and hunting a really tough skinned animal. Other than that sticking with what I know and trust....

Very true schultzy, I would only shoot a COC with a recurve or longbow.

Like you said in your other post stick with what works!!;)

As I will on the end of my trad arrow.

impressive Jeff. Do you have any of the bucks you killed with the exit wounds showing?? I can't really see that as good as I would like.

Seriously - do you guys think broadheads really matter that much?

Honestly, the King's broadhead shopping consists of a few minutes in the broadhead aisle at Gander Mountain... Just see what's on sale.... and grab a six-pack of something cheap and go check out. Whatev. Go home and see how they shoot in the block. Adjust the sights if need be. Hunt.

The King broke the bank this year and bought expensive heads (Montecs) b/c he had a gift card to burn. He admits, they were sexy. But he'd have been equally happy with a standard six-pack of Muzzy's or Thunderheads.

If the King spent as much time as some of you folksfretting about his broadheads, he'd be as bald as Germ.

One of these days, the King is gonna play a little bit of mythbusters and do some exhaustive broadhead research. He really wants to shoot a deer with these two heads, just to see what happens.

I swear, the archery gods would roll over in their graves if they saw some of the broadheads I've used to shoot deer. Let's just say I was broke as a joke when I was a kid- andwhen you're po', youuse whatever is available.

Put it this way: I once cut myself pretty bad while trying to sharpen a Kolpin Twister on a bench grinder. LMAO
