Just went bear hunting in Quebec last week and used a NAP Spitfire. It was a double lung shot, but after it passed through it smacked a giant root of a pine tree. When I went and got my arrow the tip was still needle sharp as before. The only thing was one blade was bent but none were broken. I was very impressed.
I shoot 100gr Solid Broadheads in both the 1/2" bleeder and 3/4" bleeder and love them! Just to believe all the Slicktrick hype, I might be testing out the magnums this year also.
Have you shot any animals with the solids? Also do you notice any difference in flight with the different size bleeders? I'm leaning towards picking up a pack but unsure on the bleeder size. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yes, I have and they perform flawlessly! All 3 deer I shot with them (2 doe and a buck) were piled up within 60 yards. The first one was a doe, and I will not lie to you it was not the best blood trail, but I am almost certain it was due to shot placement and rain. She jumped the string on me and I hit her a touch high, and that was with the 1/2" bleeders and literally right after it down poured all morning long. Was able to follow blood, but def had to work a little for it. Shot my doe and my buck last year with the 3/4" bleeder. With my doe, the arrow passed through her and she did not even know it. She just walked away to about 30 yards and bedded down to expire. My buck was a double lung shot at 15 yards and he was about 60 yards away with a good blood trail. They are very sharp heads and very durable and strong. Resharpen them and they are ready to go again and again and again. The S30v steel they use is the difference maker IMO. Holds their edge better and makes them as strong as they are. They will last you a lifetime as long as you don't lose them. The quality of them is what justifies the price to me and the fact that I can use them forever with just cleaning them up and resharpening them. I have yet to buy a pack of them at the new $99 price tag though, I bought a few packs of them years ago when they were about $80.
The 1/2" bleeders flew true with my field points with zero adjustments. The 3/4" bleeder took me a little more time to make sure my bow was in tune. 1/2" Bleeder 3/4" Bleeder
Awesome, Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably go with the 3/4 bleeders. I don't have a problem dropping the money on quality products. Thanks for the pictures as well they look great.
Two types, G5 montecs and all but true Slicktrick Mags! Leaning more towards the ST Mags, but the G5's, seems to be more of a bone splitter! Most important of all, no matter the BH! Shot Placement! Shot Placement!Shot Placement!This is the key core to any BH effectiveness!
I like the ST mag. I was also looking at the G5 striker. Haven't heard to much about them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
how about an exchange program where folks could send in last years broadheads and swap out for someone else's last years broadheads... so everyone gets to shoot them all without having a drawer full of old ones...
I've used the G5 Montec, Montec CS & NAP Kill Zones. All have done very well. The Montec's have broken ribs on deer, both in and out. They don't necessarily look super solid but they hold up and hit harder than you'd think. And they are easy to resharpen.
I gave DRT single bevel a try last year and watched my buck run off with my DRT tipped arrow sticking out of his side, never to be seen again. A single bevel will cause the head to turn as it cuts which is a good thing but it takes a long head head in relation to the width to make it work. In my opinion, the DRT is too short for a single bevel. Just my unscientific opinion based upon one one shot at one deer. A grain of salt would be prudent. If I were to try DRT again, which is unlikely, I would go with the double bevel.
The xecutioners are a great broadhead! I shot them last year. Big exit hole! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
