RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
ORIGINAL: DropTine249 ?  ?Thinking about switching because I can get them for $24 compared for nearly $40 for my "favorite" head. Experiences ? Pros? Cons ? |
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
no experience with the snypers, but my buddy switched to Rocky Mt Gator's this year and they've worked well for him.

RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
I've shot my last three deer using them and have been very satisfied with the results. Excellent entry hole, good blood trails. Two of three deer were easy pass throughs and the third ended up lodging in the far shoulder on a hard quartering away shot. Same thing would have happened with a fixed blade on that shot IMO. I'm shooting about 65 pounds with a 450 grain arrow.
Entry hole.  |

RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
They're basically the same head, they're made by the same company even. (i think)
The only difference is that the Snypers have a smaller cutting diameter, and they're on sale at cabelas for $25 a pack. |
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
I've shot 10 deer now with the RM Snypers all with excellent results, huge entrance holes, large exit holes, great blood trails and finished animals.
BUT, practice with them, although I have them grouping perfect with field tips plus other fixed heads, I have seen them be off slightly for a friend of mine. |
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
What's you guys (who use them) experience with pass-thrus and this head.
Also....how much KE are you pushing? Thanks. |
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
For me, the rubber bands are not an issue and the heads open up very easy. I won't be changing to the Rage heads anytime soon since I've had good success with these and they are a good bit cheaper.

I have been shooting sniper`s now for about about 4 seasons with out a daubt these are some wicked heads!

RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
I have about 8 of them laying around. Shoot good, never shot them at an animal though.

RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
I just killed my 10th and 11th deer with them this season. As long as they keep making them, I will be using them. I love em. Devastating entrance and exit wounds and incredible bloodtrails. About 5 years ago I rushed my shot a littleand shot a buck a bit forward. He shot him at 29 yards with a Mathews Q2 , 28" draw - 70 lbs. I hit him in the back part of the shoulder. The arrow blew through both shoulders and was laying about 5 yards behind him. It knocked him completely down, then he got up and went about 100 yards before dropping for good. The Snyper blew through both shoulders, and other than the blood on it, it didn't even look like it had been shot, let alone through the back part of 2 shoulders. I bought a pack of Rage's last year because the guy at the local shop saved me back a pack of Rage instead of the Snypers like I had asked. I kept them since I knew that they were actually a "glorified" Snyper. As I understand they bought the patent from Rocky Mountain for the Snyper and then made a few modifiacations and made the Rage. Thankfully I guess part of the deal was that the Snypers could still be produced and sold. Truthfully, I ( nor my buddy) really liked the Rage. I got so tired of looking down during my hunt and seeing one of the blades hanging open. It seemed that if you barely bumped the arrow or your bow on a tree or something, they would open up. I know that alot of guys on here say that it is because the blades weren' seated right, but I know that I had them right. Anyhow, I did kill a big doe with one, but I just prefer the Snypers. I hope that they keep making them for a long time!!

RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
GMMAT,
Every one but one was a pass thu. On that one, it was a real short shot from a treestand. It buried the head into the bottom of the opposite shoulder/ top of the leg bone. It snapped the leg right under where the head was buried. Also, I forgot that they are both the same company now. As long as they keep making the Snypers.... I will be happy. |
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
Jackhammer SST expandable is the best there is. OR i also like to use Rage and NAP Hellrazors depends on which one of my bows i shoot.
|
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
Do these broadheads come with a practice broadhead to shoot with so you know if they shoot any different or not?
|
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
I shot the Rocky Mountain Snypers for 3 years and loved them, I switched to rage last year and I like them as well, Both have a huge entry hole and exit hole. I will admit I like the Rocky mountain snypers a little better. The rubber band keeps the blades from openingprematurely, not to mention the Rages are about twice the cost for3 pack.I have 12 heads of each with replacement packs so I won't need any soon, But if I did knowing what I do now, I would buy Rocky Mountain Snypers. |
RE: Anyone shoot/shooting Rocky Mountain Snypers ?
If they don't come with a practice broadhead how do you guys sight them in so they are shooting right? Cause I am looking for some new broadheads, I shoot muzzy 3 blades and hate them. These look to be pretty good and you guys give them good reviews so I was wondering how you sight them in.
