Ordered some broadheads

I got me a six-pack of those American Broadhead 125gr Sonics on the way. I'll let y'all know how they fly in a couple weeks. $37 USD - I thought that was a fair price.

Thats not a bad price at all for a six pack. A friend of mine picked up some paper work on those at the columbus deer and turky expo.

Yeah - I stopped at their booth too, I was glad to finally see them in person - but didn't have the extra $$ on me to buy them at the time.

The heads are very compact - not much length difference between them and the Slik Tips I got for practice. Blades are stout too.

Slicks are cool - but their website indicated they're out of 125's until April... so I got these instead. If they don't work, well - I'll send 'em to your dad for his collection!

I'm not pushing anyone to try the Sonics - but I imagine there was a time when Slicks weren't "proven" either

Zeke are the sonics replaceable blades or can they be re-sharpened

How big is the cut

Yeh I know I could visit the web site but figured I would ask someone whom has them in his hands....

They should be here by Friday. I'll sight the Mag in with 125gr field points this week and see how close the 125 Sonics hit - 1" diameter.

I'm nervous though... bolts buried to the fletchings in my buddies target - ruined a few that way - and that was with 100gr heads.

I might try building a little "buffer" with a bag stuffed full of rags and plastic Wal Mart bags... and use his target as a backstop for that.

His is one of those "Black Hole" compressed foam deals - seems like pulling it through might make it worse?!?!

The Black Hole does a good job stopping aluminum 2219's from his Horton Hears a Who - but carbons from an Emag go bit deeper and have little or no bare shaft to grab.
