Exactly my point!!! He stated that "O" rings will never be part of his rig set up. In the 2+ dz that I have bought and have been given by GR for several animals that I have sent them pics of, not 1 "O" ring yet!!! Well, that leaves GR's in the mix, no "O" rings!!! And $50 for a pack of 4, not 3 with one being a practice head. 3 Hunting, 1 practice.

Yeah...not sure where ppl are getting this info. Reapers do not have O rings. $50 for a 3pack is mighty spendy, too. I never paid more than $35 for mine.
As far as hog hunting goes, my first choice would be the fatal steels as I mentioned before. Solid stainless ferrule and slightly smaller cutting diameter for better penetration. Second choice would be the 1 3/8 razor tip. Just the looks of the trocar style tip screams pass-thru.
And lastly, 80 yards is definitely too far of a shot. If your shot is that long, you screwed up when you set your stand. 80 yards for target practice? Heck yeah. When I'm hunting, it's 40 yards max. No exceptions.
And lastly, my BS alarm goes off as soon as I see someone mention muzzy's grouping at 80 yards...

100% my point!!!! He said something about "O" rings in the beginning and I have shot them since they came out and have never had an "O" ring with them.
I buy my GR's here localaly at Bucheits and NAO Archery store for basically $35 a pack of 3 and don't use the proctice head. Trash can. I resharpen my practice heads and hunt with them on the same shaft they were tuned/practiced with.

I just bought some 125gr Fatal steel GR.This is the first time I am going to try Mec heads. They do look well made and NASTY looking. Going to try and shoot one thru a Deer next Saturday. NJ Archery season opens Sept13th.

I have shot reapers for a handful of years, they are a great head
if the broadhead is sharp, flys good out of your bow, it will take a deer down. don't over think a broadhead, simple ones have worked for many years.
0-rings hahahahahaha
thats funny
