Swhacker Question
I was wondering how common the issue of the Swhacker damaging your arrow shaft is.

Confederate,
Not sure about arrow damage, but I purchased 3 packs from different retailers and the blades were very dull in all 3 packs

Re: Swhacker Question
I've read and seen pics where when the blades come back they strike below the insert so hard that they damage the arrow. They defiantly touch the arrow but I haven shot one to see if they damage it. Only shot the practice head

Re: Swhacker Question
i heard they fixed the issue this year. I use a dremel and remove a touch off the back of the blades where they would contact the shaft/insert.

Just add extra washers and it solves your problem.

This is what I've done. The washer method seems better, though.newbie wrote:i heard they fixed the issue this year. I use a dremel and remove a touch off the back of the blades where they would contact the shaft/insert.

Re: Swhacker Question
By adding an extra washer yall must mean one that is wider than the insert. I have seen that they are coming out with a 3 blade. It looks good but it's only 1 1/2 inch cut. I'm still interested in it tho. I wonder if they really fixed the issue with the 2 blades this year. Guess I can email and ask them.

I killed 3 turkeys with Swhackers. All 3 heads suffered bent blades and could not be used again. Switched to a fixed blade a never looked back.

Re: Swhacker Question
Yup bingo. My older swhackers do damage my arrow and insert. Like said supposed to be fixed for this year. They also have a new 3 blade swhacker. Looks awesome.newbie wrote:i heard they fixed the issue this year. I use a dremel and remove a touch off the back of the blades where they would contact the shaft/insert.

Re: Swhacker Question
I bought a new pack of 2" Swhackers at my local Bass Pro last week. I shot one yesterday and it dinged the insert and shaft.

Re: Swhacker Question
The new low poundage and 3 blade should deal with the shaft damage issue
