    I think I've got it narrowed down to these 2. Can't make up my mind. Both have had great reviews.

    I really like the looks of the Bloodrunner and the fact that if it doesn't open it still has a 1'' cut diameter.

    I was wondering the capability of this product as well. I went to the link provided and I can honestly say that I am sold. I will be sporting the blood runners this archery season!!!

    I looked really, really hard at the RamCats by Fulton Precsion Archery. I think that they would have been a great choice as well. Good Luck this season.

    Was talking broadheads with the guy at the shop today, asked about the bloodrunners, and he said the 2-blades didn't fly as good as the 3-blade ones. Haven't tried either of them, anyone noticed that?

    I got mine at Scheels in Iowa City. Check in our store (bowhunting.com). They may have the practice heads. If not, you can buy from NAP's website.

    I bought a package of the 2 blades this weekend. They are a MEAN looking head. I can't wait to try them out. The reviews are all solid.

    I think any review you read about a broadhead not flying right it is 99% of the time it is the shooters/tuners fault and not the head.

    We shot the 2 blade blood runner the only problems I have with them is the do not fully open and they seem to make a bit more noise. The largest cut we measured was only
    1 1/4". Still a great cut but over all for a mech blade try the f-15 dual blade. Serious damage. I had one blade break but the flight and cut are really sweet. I use to shoot the "Rage 2 blade" couldn't keep them closed then they re made them and will swap them out for you. But the F-15 is my personal choice for the year.

    Were you shooting the pratice head? Because the practice heads do not open they stay fixed and are 1 1/4". If you were using the "hunting heads" then I'm not sure because they should open more than 2 inches, I think 2 1/16 " to be exact. By the way the practice heads are kinda of a yellowish or dull gold color. The hunting heads are black.

    brand new right out of the package BLACK 2 blade blood runner. If you shoot them just listen close and you will hear a whistle. Also we shot them thru heavy weight paper to dbl check and they stayed the same. I believe it has to do with the springs tension. BY the way the width of the practice tip that I have is only an 1 1/16". The working heads are supposed to gain an 1" on impact. ( no pun intended there lmao) The key is shoot what you shoot best and what your bow is tuned for. I learned my lesson playing with my arrows to try to gain a little speed now I need new arrows.

    Oh, your right 1 1/16 not 1 1/4 as I indicated. Sorry, my bad. Anyways, thanks for your input.

    you might want to check your state hunting laws about that broad head i heard that they are considered to have springs and that is illegal in some states but im not 100% sure
