Re: Broadhead Analysis

I had the very same circumstances a few years back with a Swhacker 100gr Crossbow(1.75"). They shot so well for me out of my faster bows I decided to use them that season. Shot doe from high in a tree and hit her spine. She fell on the shot. BH was lodged in vertebrae with Tip broken off, 1 she...

Re: Is the rut on in your neck of the woods?

I watched a good buck chasing a does last night in circles for 20 mins while sitting in my stand over a bean field without a bow(I'm tagged out) while my youngest sat 100 yds away hoping they would come to him. He must have ADHD because he couldn't make up which one to chase in circles next...lol

Ugh! It can be nasty! I hope you have a full recovery. Danny Miller was beat up for 3 weeks and just about out of it now.
Yeah amazing was off phone in less than 10 mins with him so it must be pretty bad..

I sincerely hope you recover quickly..

2021 Buck aka "Ol Man"

Shot a 6.5-7 year old on my hit list since 2016 which we've called "Sabre" for the out of proportion tine. We haven't had picks of him since 2019 when a guy began renting the adjacent farmhouse and baiting it with truckloads of corn he gets for free. He bragged about a deer he called the &...

Re: Ramcat Savage Broadhead

Have shot a few with the Hydroshocks..they work as well as any 1.5" fixed blade does yet fly as well as any mech..I can personally recall one incident when my youngest made a less than ideal shot on a doe that was only recovered because of the damage caused by the back cut blades. I think the 1...

Re: Ramcat Savage Broadhead

Shot the Savages today through paper out to 50 yds using both my 405 and 380 using the O-ring on the high speed crossbow groove. They stayed closed through the paper every time even re-using the same o-ring(an actual o-ring)and each opened on way into target with crisp cuts on way out. POI at 50yard...

Re: footage of Rage Extreme heads opening up in flight!!

I’ve tested them as well as Hypodermics shooting through paper with various Excalibur’s and shock collars. The Red collars do keep them closed in flight even out of my 405 but I’ve had several make it through the targets still encapsulated in the shock collar. IMHO they are too questionable to use.....

Re: Ramcat Savage Broadhead

Have you tested them with the heavier poundage Excal's or just compound crossbows?

Re: Ramcat Savage Broadhead

Not really interested in $50 broadheads with exposed blades for the kid.. Normally like "over the top" Rocket Steelheads, but I know they will not stay closed in flight out of a 405..been there done that...
