Thinking about picking some up for a doe or 3 :p Just wondering if anyone has experience with them as Ive been more of a fixed blade shuttle T lock kinda guy.
I just switched from Swhackers to fixed head NAP thunderheads for when I hunt hog if for no other reason than they left doubt about them opening.
Why would you pick some up "for a doe?" Because they are inferior to the heads you are already shooting and it doesn't matter because "its just a doe?" The time to experiment is not an an animal. Even if it is "just a doe."
AMEN!!!! I carry 1 kind of bh because if I wont shoot a buck with it than a doe isnt getting shot with it. We owe it to the deer.
It's not about being an inferior doe as you say and it is not about shot placement or anything like that. It's simply the fact that I have never used mechanical heads while I'm sure they will get the job done with a well placed shot its not something I want to gamble with. Am I confident it would make a clean kill sure I'd hope so that's why I was asking for opinions and recommendations. Would I shoot an unproven broadhead at a p&y buck ...no. its that simple to me I don't see the issue with me taking an ethical shot on a doe with a different bh than I would a buck
If your confident enough to ethically kill a doe with that bh than why not shoot a buck. If your worried about it not killing a buck then you shouldnt use it on a doe. If you want to use a mechanical head than give the NAP bloodrunners a shot. Great head. The mechanical wont fly the same as a fixed blade so either way you would be making an unethical shot by not sighting in with that certain head when you are "gambling" on the doe.
You're talking out both sides of your mouth buddy. I don't either.....unless of course the shooter didn't have confidence in his head. I'm not trying to be a ****, I'm just hoping you understand the flaw in your logic.
I've shot different heads at different deer, but had confidence in both of them. Dan's point is if you have have a swhacker on an arrow nocked up with intentions of shooting a doe and a buck walks by and you have to switch heads due to lack of confidence in the swhacker, then why doesn't that doe get the same level of respect that the buck does? I have to agree with him, there's a flaw in your logic.
I'm switching from rage this year to try them. After watching the online comparison video of other mech heads I was very impressed.
They so that BH going thru plywood at an "extreme angle" We tried it it didn't work at all. I have never tried them on a deer either though

If I am trying a new broadhead... I will normally try it on a doe or a coyote first and use a proven broadhead to " me " when buck hunting. I will not kill a doe in a good buck area. I will kill a buck in a doe area. I would be tempted to bait a doe to fill a tag, bait coyotes but it will be a cold day in hell when I bait a buck. When I set out I plan on killing no matter which circumstance. There are many different reasons and ways I can and will go about it. It has nothing to do with respecting the animal or putting one higher up then the other. Do you get just as equally excited when killing a doe verses killing a big buck?? How about the time leading up to the shot on either ?? Be honest. These question aren't just for you Dan but everyone who agreed with him. I want to see the logic behind your logic on respect. I am kind of surprised the high road was even taken in this thread. If you answer me... I will tell you why I would use an unproven broadhead to " me " on a doe and not on a buck to show you why respect has nothing to do with it. Thanks !! Tim
