RE: Mechanicals heads?

I would bet EITHER of us could probably use that head with our recurve set ups.........don't dare me! LOL:D

RE: Mechanicals heads?

RE: Mechanicals heads?

Yeah once the heads like the rage or snyper are in their fully deployed and locked position that's it. If I'm not mistaken most guys are getting larger entrance wounds than exit wounds with these...
