hyper shock broadheads are hyper !@#$
Seen two deer shot by a buddy of mine with these heads . The blades didnt even open it was like he shot them with a field point. Later we looked at the broadhead and i tried to open it by sliding my fingers down and the O ring wouldnt roll back to open the blades,they just stayed closed.We have personaly banned these heads and strongly recomend nobody even try them. I could not believe how crappy these heads were . Both shots wre perfect broadside 15 yrd shots.It just reinforces my feelings on pop outs.

You stated that they didn't open. How can you be sure of this if you recovered neither animal? I used them on Javelina and they always opened though they were very poor in the penetration due to the extra-wide cut the ones I used had. This design of broadhead will always leave a "puncture" hole on impact, this is a down side in my opinion.
This is as some might say, a real problem with mechanicals. Mechanicals use energy & resistance to open up inside the animal. This being said, it is usually a full 3/4" inside before full width of the blade is established.Bill T wrote:........

With todays crossbows and most vertical bows there is more than enough KE with a well placed shot for a pass through of the arrow giving 1 good opening and one "puncture hole" opening for blood trails.

Just like the Excalibur line of crossbows, simple works, and in my opinion simple is better. Fixed blade broadheads are all I will ever use. They work. Have proven themselves for longer than I have been alive. They leave a nice big hole going in and coming out, perfect for trailing.

Hey Sandman:
I spined a doe the other day with my wasp Boss 3 blade 100 gr. and she didn't go 2 feet. Excellent holes on top and bottom front chest.
Fixed blade only for me.

The bow he used was a vert bow ,a PSE thunderbolt set at 62 pounds and it should have been more then enough to do the job even with pop outs. and no the deer were not recoverd. Ifeel that the fact that the blades dont deploy until the head is 3/4 of an inch into the body is a big flaw. Better hope to the deer gods you get a pass through or good luck finding them.
