RE: Rocket Broadhead success with pics
 

First, Nice buck!!!!

As for the rockets. There is a compatibility problem with Gold Tip arrows and Rocket steelhead 100's. The threads are set pretty deep in Gold Tip inserts and the threaded shank is pretty short on the Rocket 100's. Put them together and you run into the probem you mentioned. Rocket Steelhead 100's will work fine with any other arrow type and Gold Tips are compatible with every other head out there. As you have seen shooting them without the metal washer will ruin your arrow as it acts as a stop for the back of the blades.

That said Rocket Steelheads are still my favorite expandable head. I have found that they penetrate as well as fixed heads. They absolutely blow through whitetails.

Nice deer,

I think with the rocket's they made the ferral of the broadhead stronger, but when they beefed that up they added weight, so to get it back to 100 grains they took off some threads. Mine didn't thread in very far either. Seems they were always loose.

I get the same results with a NAP shockwave, which screws in all the way.

gold tip arrows are NOT the only arrow that has happened to. i use the carbon express 3D selects and i shot a doe at aoubt 15yds i had the wahser on too, the blades cut right back into my furrel.
i'm back to my muzzy's. i not going to ruin an arrow everytime i kill a deer.
