Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)

They say these things will put a hole the size of a 12 gauge slug.........I can' t even imagine how much KE would be required to do it ;)

I saw a demo on these blades last week,don' t know how much energy it would take.don' t know how they work,didn' t get a close up of the ring.they look good on the demo.they used a regular head and then the razor rings,there was only about 1" difference in penetration.

Where do you buy them from?
just curios!

RE: Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)
 

I have not tested them, but from my understanding you need to shoot them from a shotgun to get enough KE to get them to pass through anything! I will let Antlereater take care of the rest. I believe he has used them on game.

RE: Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)
 

My thoughts also 5 shot, you would have to have KE through the roof to get a pass through shot with those.

If you have sucess hunting with the Razor ring, you might as well use judo points. :D

RE: Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)
 

This sounds like a job for 5shot. The question being " just how much KE is required to get the Razor ring to function correctly?"

;)

I posted under another thread about this thing that in my opinion it would need to be fired from the deck gun of a Russian whaling ship to get a pass through. If my bow were powerful enough to use this thing then I would just get some expandables with about a 2 inch cut instead. They would definately be more accurate and probably penetrate better.

Proper shot placement and a very sharp broadhead is all that is really needed, I' ve been successful with the old two edge heads and will probably never change. Good luck hunting!

There' s a thread on the Technical forum about this head. I just posted a pic on it you guys might be interested in seeing. This is not a new idea, by any stretch. Didn' t work back then either.

I find it hard to believe I would be the only one here to have tried these things. What can I say except, I must have the word " sucker" written across my forehead. [&:] But I did try them and for what its worth I' ll pass my experience (once again) on to whom ever is interested.

Perhaps I should put a disclaimer on what I am about to say so if there is a hungry attorney around I don' t become lunch. [:@] The choices that a person makes on his or her equipment is always a personal thing. What one person finds to his liking another might abhor. I have nothing against the Razor Ring company, I can only tell you the results of my findings.

Not all of the heads spun true on my arrow tester. I did break a ferrule when I shot it into my 3/4" plywood " wall of fame/shame" . I don' t know what those bones in their pictures came out of or what they used to get those holes in the bones but I can tell that with roughly 60 pounds of kinetic energy the head couldn' t punch through a small buck that was broadside at 15 yards. When I dressed out the buck I couldn' t even find a mark on the far side of the rib cage opposite the entry hole. Using the same bow and arrow combo I later shot a large buck using a three blade mechanical with a two inch cut. It was a thirty yard shot and a complete passthrough.

In all fairness I should also state that shooting just one animal with a broadhead doesn' t make me an authority on that heads performance. Funny things can and do happen in the field. I once shot a nice buck standing broadside with a two blade head with a setup generating slightly over 70 pounds of KE. It went through the meaty part of both shoulders but never hit either scapula. It wasn' t a complete passthrough but the arrow was sticking out both sides. He broke the arrow in three pieces as he ran away, with the middle piece stayed in his chest cavity. With the setup I was using and a good two blade head I would have bet I could have blown through anything.

You' re right about the concept not being anything new Arthur, a friend of mine used to use them years ago. I don' t remember him ever shooting anything with them though.

RE: Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)
 

I never did try them on a turkey. They might be great for that. [:o]

Antler Eater:

NO, you' re not the only one who has shot these BHs. Without going into a lot of detail, I' ve decided not to use them for any more of my ' Crop Damage' hunting.[:' (]

I owe it to the animals to use the best I can find.

RE: Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)
 

Shot ' em. They blow big honkin' chunks.

Even if the damn things DID penetrate well (IME, they did not). they sounded like a friggin F18A heading down to the target. Imagine the noise in having 3 Full helical full length feathers on your arrow shot at about 300 FPS

Now double that

..shudder...

RE: Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)
 

well there you go, If Len, Jeff, and Antler give them a big thumbs down that should tell you something!

RE: Razor Ring Broadheads (You gotta see this!!)
 

some company had a similar product years ago except they were plastic and they were supposed to stabilize broadhead flight , they didn' t work too well either!
