Complete failure Less then 3 inches of penetration and the broadhead is destroyed. Lesson of course is don't hit them in the shoulder but even so I would rate this as about the poorest performance of a broadhead you could have. Just a reference.
Complete success for me There is not a broadhead out there that will go through a shoulder bone. A head like the grizz trick is design to put a big hole in tissue, not bone.
Again..........just a reference for what will happen if you miss by a couple inches with this head. Would all other heads crumble like this as well?? Maybe but all I have pics of is this one I've never shot them and never will so I certainly couldn't care less.
I agree with Germ...it just is hard to kill a deer hitting them in that spot...I have seen Rage, Muzzy and Thunderheads crumble on this shot...
They all will, Montech or Hellrazor have the best chance IMO of not total crumbling. These heads need a lot of KE just to get through tissue. All one has to do is look at the Grizz Trick and know it's not going through shoulder at all. It's design is wide and short, I agree with Atlas 100% on complete failure, hell I did not even need to see a picture to know what woulkd happen.
A Snuffer Is a solid one piece head and more then likely It will eat up them 2 heads you just posted but It don't matter much when you hit the knuckle of a whitetail, nothing will penetrate them. A friend of mine shot at a buck earlier this year shooting a 125 grain Snuffer. He squared that thing In the knuckle, broadhead looks like new yet but needed a touch up on the tip.
Arrow fell out about 20 yards after the hit..............and no he did not. We never even found a single drop of blood. Searched for him or any sign for 3 hours the next day just in case but nada. Interesting side note..........he was also using Lumenoks............another failure. Found the arrow by trailing on my brothers feedback of where the buck ran. Nock was not lit.
I tried the SS Snuffers a couple years ago because I am such a fan of Magnus heads. I just didn't get the same accuracy as the Stingers and Buzzcutts. I also don't like having to resharpen blades. I prefer to replace with new razor sharp blades and head out. Great head I'm sure though.
Well practicing earlier in the season i shot low on my target with the NAP hellrazors and it went through two layers of a wooden milk crate and the broadhead was just fine. IMO most the replaceable blade broadheads on the markets blades are not very durable and will crumble if they hit a hard object.
I got one word for ya's. Nitron. That little head by NAP that just doesn't get no love.. except by me. LOVE it! It's the toughest broadhead I know of. It's small design creates less friction.. and it slams a deer like no other... pass thru after pass thru. If you can deal with poor blood trails (but it don't matter if you get to watch them fall within sight).. but precision shot placement.. I recommend to give this little guy a chance. It's been zooming through some BIG bodied whitetail for me over the past 4 years.. I can't find a better head yet to replace it. Simply cannot.
duke how many shoulder bones or knuckle joints have that head shot through? i shot a grizz into golf ball over the summer. it just about split it in 4. the shoulder knuckle is an extremely tough spot. atlas brother's arrow could have hit and stayed entact. when the buck ran and it go crunch as the buck ran. atlas only confirmed what i knew would happen on a shoulder hit.
Dunno? Try not to shoot through them. I only gave my opinion on a head built by a superior blade manufacturer. I understand the slik-trik peeps make a great head. GREAT head. But I've heard things about the blades over the years. They are SUPER-sharp though. So.. I chimed in with a little info from NAP. Who's blades are stronger since they use some sorta special process on their blades that the medical industry uses as well. They have a whole patent for it... all I know is.. it's a better process. And makes for stronger blades. So next time Germ.. shoot a Nitron at a golf ball and tell me how you do.:D
Last year, I shot a doe at 23 yards. Complete thru on the opposite shoulder. It was dead center of the shoulder. I was using 100gr. Montecs. I think in order to pass through the shoulder blades, you need a one piece construction broadhead.
