I broke on of the 2 blade blood runner practice heads. Part of the metal that hold the blades broke, when shot only a handful of times into a soft bag type target. I have lost confidence in them and have made the switch to the Smoke Ram Cats. I am very impressed thus far. Great flying heads, super sharp front and back and 100% all stainless steel.
If you would like I can PM you my address and you can just send all your Bloodrunners to me! Sure just knowing that you own them is going to wear on you until they are gone! LOL
Two words for you...... SLICK TRICK!!!! .....'nuff said!!! http://www.bowhunting.com/shopping/Products/Slick-Trick-125gr-Magnum__2447.aspx
Did you ever get a chance to take an animal(specifically a deer) with the 2 Blade Bloodrunner, before you switched ? I shoot the Rage and I swear by them, best head I've ever shot. But I'm interested in the Bloodrunner.
Not that this has anything to do with the broadhead failure, but I thought you weren't supposed to shoot broadheads into bag targets. I thought the blades (fixed or expandable) would get caught up in the fiber inside the bag.
It is better he base his opinion on a broadhead that gets destroyed on a wimpy little target as opposed to a game animal.
I actually think that a bag target is prob way more brutal on heads than an animal. i mean. they bring an arrow from 200 some feet per second to a dead stop...NOW. and thats with a field point, which is gonna penetrate like crazy... bags are gonna destroy most broadheads. Just sayin
My muzzys blow right through bag targets. What kind of bag targets are you guys using that will stop a broadhead??
I posted along time ago that the blood runner 2 balde did not even expand all the way and seemed to whistle when in flight. I use the rage 2 blade and wanted to switch because they would not stay closed in the quiver. But rage fixed them and replaced all of my old ones. I shot a doe at 32 yrds dbl lung and hole right thru her heart she did not even make it 15 yrds. It was the luckiest shot I have ever made and I am still very impressed with them. Also you can shoot broadheads at bag targets unless they say on them not to.
I don't even use the practice broadheads, I put the real ones on take a couple shots with each one and i'm dead on ready to go. NAP 2-blades are best and most lethal BH I have ever used. My biggest bow kill on the opener only went 40 yards with one of them hitting him!
I didn't have an issue with the durability at all. Matter of fact, I was impressed with that aspect. That's why I wanted to try them. I was really unimpressed with the Rage's durability. I double lunged a nice doe on Saturday morning with the Bloodrunner and the arrow buried into a rocky hillside, the blades just need sharpened and that head will be ready to go. I was expecting a bid more blood though. When I got to her, she had two huge holes in her, just didn't put down as much blood as I was expecting. We'll give em another go on my last doe tag. I really can argue with the result of my Slick Trick Mags, I just like to try new heads and carry a mixed bag in the quiver.
