Default RE: Vortex " the original" and " pass thrus"

PAbowhunter, one of my catalogs has a rocket all mechanical with a 2" plus cut. It comments that they made it for people using the " buckblaster(or hammerhead-I don' t recall) and are still looking for more.
I can look it up for ya if you like.

I think the one thing that would seperate the mini-max from the hammerhead is the mini-max 3' s blades don' t look as if they will bend out of the way as easily as the hammerhead. I' ve heard the hammerheads turn into spagetti strings after the shot due to the steel bending (as it is designed to). The thickness of the min-max' s blades do not look like they would bend easily.
I replaced the o-ring of my mini-max' s w/ a rocket rubber band and it allows them to open much easier than before, but they still stay closed at 272fps.

I' m not sure if I' m gonna use them- yet. Post like this only really make me want to give em a go!!

All I can say is that I was very impressed with the entire lineup of Vortex/mar-den heads. They are larger, but the " smaller" two inch heads penetrate as well as most 3 blade heads with cutting diameters of 1 1/2" or so. As for strength, even the larger heads proved far more durable than I would have exspected. The 100 grn Mini-max steel solid is one super tough head I feel would be very suiteable for elk with the right setup. Frank You should look at the 2 3/4" 125, now I know it' s 25 grns heavier than you want to shoot, but Man that' s one big head!![]
