Thinking about a new broadhead for next year, wondering if anyone has opinions on the NAP Hellrazor. Are they as hard as they claim? I shot the G5 Montechs and the end would roll over when going through bone, not impressed. Then I changed to the G5 T3's and they are the worst broadhead design I've ever used. Want to go back to a good fixed blade. Thanks, Paul
The Nap Nightmares look like a better choice. I wonder how durable the tip and blades would be on the Hellrazor punching through bone a couple times, thats one draw back to a one piece.
NAP doesn't make the Nightmare anymore so you're out of luck there. The closest thing to it is the Thunderhead Edge, which is a great fixed-blade head. The offset blade design leaves a "channel" when it passes through the animal so it creates better blood trails. http://www.bowhunting.com/shopping/Products/Thunderhead-Edge-100gr__60891.aspx I shot Hellrazors for a year and they're tough, no doubt. But I don't think you'll find a three blade cut-to-point head that won't roll or burr at least a little if it directly impacts a bone. The only way to make a head that tough would also make it virtually impossible to resharpen.
i shoot the NAP bloodrunners. i know they r mechanical but if it fails to open up u still get the fixed blade cut. if open they cut 2 1/16". and an 1 1/4" unopened i believe.
My dad shot the montec CS this year, never used one on anything, but they rusted even in the quiver from one hunt out in the rain, i wouldn't recommend them.
The carbon isn't going to stop the end from rolling over on impact but it does make them take a better edge than stainless. The way to avoid the corrosion is to coat them with a light oil or gel like Vaseline.
Thanks for the help guys. I think I'm going to try the thunderhead next season. Another question, if you coat your heads with a light oil or vaseline to stop rust would this increase the chance of infection if a deer takes a marginal hit? Just a thought
