I talked to a Rocket tech. two days ago about the undertaker. They have not tested any out of a crossbow as of yet. I put a little flame (suggestion)under their butt to test them out a fast moving crossbow like the Exocet and Max. They agreed, and I hope to hear their results sometime soon. Their number is on their website, maybe give tham an additional call on your crossbow interest.

Rage, if you ever find any Hammerhead 108gr. 4 blade 2" by 2" cut, give them a try, two bands of course. I have never seen a hole so darn large through a deer, and they just don't go far according to the ones I nailed with those badboys. Your heavy bolt out of your Max is just the ticket.

Here is the website link for it . . .

http://www.trophyridge.com/broadheads/

Did you watch the video on it . . .that buck falls in a hurry, but, not as fast as my gut shot 6 point I hit with the Hammerhead. It looks like it takes a lot of push to lock the blades into position. I'd try one if they decide to make a 2" cut.

Right now I'm sold on 2" cut. Take a look at the Stricknines while you are on the website.

The link I posted above is the same.

Right now, I exclusively shoot the Stricknines. check out my signature :)

I feel the same way.... I ALWAYS look for 2"+ cuts. I saw a broad head the other day, it was a 2 blade mechanical with a 2 3/4" cut. (it was not the buck blaster) I'll see if I can find the link.

Appears to have too many working parts. What would happen to one if the temp drops below freezing after it may have gotten moisture inside? Does look pretty cool though but I think I will stick to the "KISS" method.

Looks like a bit of a immitation to another broadhead that's the same thing kinda...

E mailed them asking if shooting them out of a 325 fps/ 200 lb draw crossbow would be an issue.

Their reply, "I don't see them being a problem." Said nothing about having tested them, however.

I have used the rocket hammerhead ( 2inch cut ) in the past and it makes one big nasty hOle through an animal .

I did have 2 complaints with rockets way back when . The blades were not as sharp as I would have liked . Secondly the screws that retain the blades were very small making them hard to work with and easy to strip .
