Airborne, 5Shot is right. I think the reflections here are positive for the RM Snyper and it's the only mechanical that I (a true and true fixed blade Muzzy user) will recommend and or promote. I shot my best buck with the RM Snyper, made a poor shot placement and recovered the animal. This isn't a good example of the head, but the tracking job that took place. The head was inmaterial however I will say I was impressed with the entrance and exit holes.

5Shot's testings on these heads and many others I will bet are probably unsurpassed.

I have heard nothing but positives about this broadhead. Poor penatration might be more about what bow you are shooting than the broadhead itself.

I used this head to shoot a buck quartering-away last fall. It passed through about 2/3 of the deer's length and buried into the ground. Didn't hit any heavy bone, though. As much as I like the Snyper, it wouldn't be my first choice for breaking heavy bone. Not just the Snyper, but any cut-to-tip design, possibly an exception for Grizzlies or Bonebusters, neither of which I have ever used. Not sure my rig puts enough *ass* behind the arrow to get anything through real heavy bone.

It's been stated that it's a two-blade head, and I guess that's technically true, but the wounds it produced on the buck I shot did not look like you're typical two-blade "slice". They had a strong resemblance to wounds I have seen from Bear Razorheads and Zwickey's with bleeder blades. Not the "X" of a true four-blade head; more of an oval shape. Remember I'm basing this all on just one kill, so take it with a grain of salt.

I have shot them quite a bit myself..and though I still prefer the Steelhead 100s...I would have no lack of confidence in the Snypers if I needed to use them.
