I use the 100gr Razortips for deer, bear, hog, and turkey. As someone above stated they do not come super sharp, but that is easily fixed. They have not failed once, and I intend to keep on using them. Positives I guess would be that they fly well, no o rings, they penetrate well, have always left a good blood trail, and have never failed (for me). Negatives would be that they do not come super sharp.

JeffB,

My brother-in-law and I both tried them last year. He shot a huge 10pt with one and hit it in the shoulder. Absolutely no penetration. Waited two hours before tracking and then looked for two days, no deer. We never found more than tiny specs of blood for about the first 100yds, and then nothing. After negative experiences with this head and Spitfires, we have both sworn off of mech. for good. That's just our experiences.

Blessings.....Pastorjim

I don't shoot them but PLEASE don't blame the BH when you make a bad shot. You hit it in the shoulder (bad shot placement) got no penetration (happens with fixed heads when you hit them there too). Look in the mirror when you make a bad shot instead at looking for excuses.

They have a good PR team and they're almost as good as a fixed broadhead. They're not close to a good cut on contact head.

I used them a couple seasons ago, then tried G5 montecs, then rage 2 blade, then magnus stingers. The 09 season my arrows will be tipped with Grim Reapers again. I had decent luck with rage, and I may even use the magnus in 09 also but I will definately be shooting GR. I never had a problem with small entrance holes they seemed fine to me, not as big as the exit but still good. When shooting them I used them as both an expandable and a fixed blade just for grins. They are good IMO.

I only hunted one season with Grim Reapers and really liked them a lot. No problems with penetration at all and they left huge holes.

I used the Rage 2 blade this year and for the most part the Rage and GR performed very similar. However, I did take a buck with the Rage and did not get a blow thru, shot was about 1" high of where I wanted it, but did not get into the shoulder or anything, so not sure what the problem was with that 1 shot.

If I were deciding between the GR and the Rage, I think I would choose the GR.
