They looked good to me for the price, decent cut, look sharp. If I didn't have so many heads already I'd give them a shot.
As long as they were "made in USA" that is.

I can nearly garentee they aren't made in the USA for that price! They are probably a Game-Tracker head with Cabela's name on it.

Check out Wasp Hammers if you want a nice head at a decent price of $32.00/ per 6. For 12 bucks, I'd rather know the head is top-notch compared to a good deal! Heck, you can't even buy 4 gallon's of gas these days!

JUNK!!! I bought my son 6 of them the first year they came out...2 years ago I believe, and while they are very sharp, and they do fly good, they are a PAIN IN THE BUTT to put together and keep together. They fell apart pulling them out of the target. Nope. Not me. Never again.

They are actually made by Rocket, and use the bacon skinner blades. But from what I have heard about them (no personal experience) the bacon skinner blades is the only good thing about them.

Why use a cheap head when you have alot of money and time invested
in the rest of your equipment, after all your broadhead does the
damage to the animal. Just my opinion

jag-mag's right; I, too, learned my lesson last year about Cabelas' brand broadheads. I could tell that their Lazerstrike mechs were made by Rocket (if they weren't, I'd be suing them if I was Rocket ... ) and were quite a bit cheaper for the same head. Well, they must have cheapened the ingredients some too, because I've never had a Rocket tear up like that.

I took another nice P&Y with them last year, but thank God I centered his heart. The head literally just blew apart, and I found pieces of it all inside him when field-dressing.

I'm waiting until after June 1st when Slick Tricks are supposed to be available in 100 grain and placing an order for some of them.

Magnus Stingers. 3 for 22 bones. Lifetime warrenty. If they break, send them in and get a brand new one. No matter how they broke. Your fault or not. I need to send one of mine in, it got broke somehow, Never shot at a deer this one wasnt.

I tested them last year, and they did not do that well. Save your money in my opinion.
