Can you point me in the right direction. I can't seem to find any grizz broadheads with a cutting area of 2.5". Thank you

SlickTrick GrizzTricks. MeanV archery has them. They are a 4 blade with a 1.25'' cutting diameter.

What I am saying is, if you have 1 1/8" cutting diameter, you will have 2X that with a 4 blade head. Where with a 2 blade head, and 2" cuttin width, you only have 2" of cutting area. Just look up grizztrick

Shot placement: critical
No matter which one you use. Saying that, I won't ever go back to mechanicals. I am not proud of the shot, but I have made quartering to me shots thru the shoulder with fixed heads, thunderhead, and deer did drop within 40 yards. I know I couldn't have acheived that same performance with a spitfire or rage.

Please don't bring that garbage into this thread.

You think so? I shot spitfires for years in the 90's and aweful performance.
What do you use? Let me guess. Rockets? I know rage won't.

Blood runner caught my eye as well. I bought some the other day, gonna give them a try. Really, they cant fail. go in 1 1/8" come out 2 1/16"

No, not Rockets. I shoot Grim Reapers. When I first started shooting them I wanted to see how tough they really were. I only did the plywood test, but I shot two through some leftover 3/4" oak veneered cabinet grade plywood. They both made it through with all of their blades. They were ruined as far as their movement, but they would have killed the deer on the other side of a shoulder for sure. They are one tough head. They haven't failed me yet and provided they are assembled correctly there's no way for them to fail. I do have to admit, though... I've yet to hit a shoulder to put it to the real test and I don't intend to do so intentionally.
