The doe, I had a quartering away shot and hit the big leg bone on the opposite side, so the arrow didn't really "exit". Still a nasty hole though!
So did you have a blood trail to follow?
I may switch to them as soon as I get them. Is there any need to check them for accuracy, or will they hit with field points (if they pass the old spin test).

Didn't have any kind of blood trail to follow.
I ordered 2 packs, put 4 in my quiver, had 1 extra, and took 1 and wrapped the electrical tape around it and tested it. For me anyway, out of my Equinox, they hit the same POI as my field points. These were the 125 grain. I could have went with the 100 grain and still had a good FOC, but I like a higher FOC and little more weight to my arrow, so I went with the 125.
They advertise that they hit the same as field points and for me they did.

Just like with any time that you alter anything with you bow, you'll probably need to adjust your scope. But from what I've seen, if you adjust your scope to hit with field tips, the Swhackers will hit the same POI as the field tips.

well I was trying to shoot a 125 gr G5 broadhead and the yardages were off so I went to the 150 gr and they were dead on...thats what I am concerned about

Nah, they ran............. but not far.
They both dumped a ton of blood and made it really easy to follow the trail. With a deer, you often wonder how they can keep going with all of the blood they're losing. These were no exception.

They have them in stock. I thought i saw them on the websight too, but its american. I dont order from them online for that reason. Even though stock is in TO i have no idea where they ship from.
Wish I had that good of luck with one. I shot a Doe yesterday morning, my Swhacker didn't open, Arrow covered with blood, but no blood trail at all, lost that deer. I believe if it would have opened, there would have been a blood trail and deer would have been recovered. Just saying what happened. The hit seemed good but could not find the deer.

Any guess as to what went wrong?
Brings several questions to my mind.
Where was the hit? The shot angle? Did arrow flight look good? Did you recover the arrow/broadhead?
