Congrats on the kill Mr. Assassin. It soulds like those heads work pretty slick. (pun intended) How was the blood trail?

Stump

You can find these broadheads at www.slicktrick.net and here is a pic



Hazcon,

Yea these were the heads that 5shot shot through a steel 55 gallon drum and they penetrated both sides without damage. He then proceded to shoot the same head back through the drum 5 or 6 times (I forget) without the head or blades failing.


Range,

No sorry no pics. I am not a big picture guy. I just never have been. I am pretty ugly though and not many ugly people like cameras I will tell you this though, I could have easily put a golf ball in the entrance hole. The exit hole was similar but actually a little smaller.


Thanks everyone else.

Adams the bloodtrail was good. It was one of those walk standing straight up while you follow two blood trails (one one each side) kind of blood trails.

The is one nasty lookin bhead! How close do they fly compared to field tips for you Silent?

On the website...I saw the it says that the diameter of the 100gr is 1 1/8". That would be the cutting diameter, correct? Do most believe that 1 1/8" is enough cutting diameter for a bhead?? Right now I'm using Rocket Sidewinder 3's with a 1 1/2" cutting diameter. Is that overkill in your opinion for whitetails or just maybe on the upper end of the spectrum?

Stump,

They flew right with my field tips. I didn't have to do anything but screw them on and they grouped well out to 50. One of my shooting buddies was shooting my heads on his arrows and shooting 2" groups at 40 with them. But he is a better shot than I am. I was a little skeptical of the small cutting diameter and I have never liked 4 blade heads but they left as big a hole as the rocket sidewinders and the spitfires which both have and 1 1/2" cutting diameter. I can't say they will do this every time because I have only shot one deer with them but I will give more feedback if the opportunity is afforded me. I don't think 1 1/2 inches is over kill. I think the bigger the hole the better but I am pretty impressed with the hole and the blood trail that these little heads left. To be perfectly honest I was pretty amazed that this little head left those big ol holes. Only time will tell if this was a fluke or not but I feeling pretty confident with them. My main reason for switching was how well they fly. After all, hitting in the right spot is the most important thing but after seeing the devastation these little heads caused I am pretty impressed with their performance on the killing end also.

Well, you convinced me, I just ordered the 100gr set.

I'm currently shooting the 100gr Rocket Ultimate Steel and was not impressed with them after shooting a doe yesterday. I got the complete pass through, but one blade was missing and the blood trail was fairly scant. The buggers are just too little IMO.

1 1/8 is not a small cutting diameter, I would guess its normal. My thunderhead 100's have that. Getting that diameter with an extra blade sounds interesting, though I have never had issue with the theads, left a huge hold on the way in a 8pt in PA and busted right through the chest and into the ground, awesome bloodtrail, well for the 50 yds, then the skid marks he made crashing were easy to follow

Congrats!!

DC,

From what I have heard and seen so far I don't think you will regret it.

PS Congrats on the doe!
