    Haven't shot the Bloodrunner yet, but I have a pack here that I've been meaning to. Might not get around to it until another month or so. Season doesn't start till 10/1, I've got plenty of time left to figure broadheads out.

    I can tell you they look and feel great, and I'm a big fan of the 1.5" cutting diameter on impact. Assuming they fly ok (which I'm sure they will) I will be shooting them come October.

    Post up your review after you try them out. Have you heard much about the Epek heads? I have been following them for a while now and they were made available earlier this year, I just haven't heard too much about them yet. I have found some reviews but was really hoping someone here might have input on them.

    They remind me of the Tru fire Switchblade, I shot the switchblades last year and they flew great but I had some recovery problems with two deer, I won't blame it all on the head but I didn't find much blood on both hits and had questioable penetration on one of them. Like I said I don't think it was necessarily "all" the broadhead but my confidence in them is not high so I doubt they will get much more use in the field because of that.

    The new switchblades look better, last years tip seemed less than sharp/aerodynamic.
