Don't like it. The blades still flip over from the front. And they look pretty flimsy, too. Nor do I shoot enough weight to justify the cutting diameter.

Now, I would use them for turkey. Good head for that.

My thought on this is “why”? If you put the shot in the vitals, then you don’t need that big of a hole.

No, the reason is: because the head can form a possible "barb" when pulled out, because the blades do not slide back into the ferrule like they should. But the Rage 2-Blade is ok. It is all because some guy did some testing and flipped out, and reported it to the CO's and wrote them a letter...

BuckBlasters have been around a long time. Personally I wouldn't want to hunt Big game with them unless I had some serious KE. I doubt the expandable blades are very durable, but they wouldn't have to be.I think the Spitfire XP's are the best expandable on the market with Grim Reapers close behind.
