RamCat Broadheads By: Smoke Broad Heads www.smokebroadheads.com I was attending a outdoor trade show and was handed a set of broadheads. Not real big on writing about broadheads because of all the technicalities I was not looking to do anything. I came home and they sat around for a few weeks and finally out of boredom I got them out set up a couple of arrows that I had already tuned in with fieldtips. I proceeded to head out and shot both arrows with the RamCats on the end of the shaft. I was completely surprised to see that they hit right where my fieldtips hit. I thought no way can this work so I moved back 10 more yards to 30 yards and shot. Again right where my field tips hit. So I thought these are worth writing about. This is not to say no other broadheads I have used are worth writing about and use on occasion. I began reading more on these and learned about the patented deep lobes in the cutting tip. Which are designed to create a airfoil that drafts wind over the blades and does not allow wind-planing, making for more accurate shots. Once in the animal, the lobes create a hydrofoil forcing body mass outward removing friction down the arrow resulting in deeper penetration. The offset blade designed RamCat broadheads come available in a 100 and a 125 grain weight. The 100 grain allows for a 1 3/8” cutting diameter and the 125 grain creates a 1 1/2” diameter cut. Blades are replaceable and come sharpened on both the front and backsides of the blade. If there is no pass through the blades with cut their way back out.

Last year me and one of my sons went with the Ramcat BH. We are really impressed. We took one head and shot quartering shots through a piece of 5/8 wafer board from 20 and 30 yards and it went right through with out a problem. We shot them out to 40 yards and they fly really close to your field tips. I shot an elk at 32 yards. I hit a little further back then I wanted to and hit the liver and cut one of the lungs and the arrow stopped on the far side of the rib cage. ( I was a little excited ) The elk ran 30 to 40 yards stopped and walked 50 more yards were it stood and died. I think when it ran the back cutting blades just tore him up. I also shot a small whitetail at 22 yards complete pass thru and he went 60 yards or so and died. I'm really sold on these heads. Now two of my sons and myself are using them this year. The only negative side is you have to watch your quiver and make sure they fit in ok. The 100 grain heads have a 1 3/8 cutting diameter. So the blades stick out a little.
