YET ANOTHER BROADHEAD QUESTION.

[JB2010]

Has anyone tried hellrazor broadheads? I have tried the bolt cutters and even the firebolts and dont care for either. I thought about using the carbon express mayhem (I think I spelled that right) bolts and I was goint to try either the hellrazor fixed blade or the spitfire xp's (both in 125gr). Has any one tried either of the combos listed or do you see why it would or wouldnt work? I wanted to ask before I spent the money on the wrong stuff. I shoot an exomax.
I also wanted to know if the spitfire broadheads have ever opened early on anyone. I know the exomax give that arrow a big push.

Used 100g in my Exomax, now using in my Exocet 200. Never had a premature opening, harvested several deer, all pass-thru.

I'd also be interested in knowing if anyone has used hellrazors. I had narrowed down my choices to either the G5's or Hellrazors, mainly because they are COC and have practice heads. I've read lots of reviews that say the Hellrazors come out of the package a lot sharper than the G5's. Just wondering about the performance on animals. Looks like they should be able to handle anything.

I use 100 gr spitfire never had one open early & montec G5 also Snuffer 125 & razortrick 100 gr. All of them seem to kill whatever i hit with them

I will admit those Hellrazors look BADASS! I have been a fan of expandable heads for the past 20 yrs. I have shot ALOT of diff expandables all the way back to Punchcutters Gotta love a broadhead that shears off boh blades of a 2 blade broadhead on the 1st set of ribs.. If you get good POI vs fieldtips be sure to post the info.I may be interested in coming back to the Darkside if they fly well. I picked up a pack of 2 blade Rage for this year. This is the 1st year using a crossbow instead of a vert bow.

Carbon in the air is a better sight than a full quiver!

I have used the Spitfires and love them. I've never had a premature opening, however, I put a dental elastic on all my expandables. Never have an issue with opening(early or late).

The reason I decided to use the elastics . . .no one could tell me how long the spring loaded blades would last. Eventually, all the spring loaded or clip type levers will wear out. Just a matter of how many openings becore it happens.

I perfer the simple lever action like the Hammerheads and Stricknines. Put your elastics on and shoot.

i dont like the spitfires at all from my experience.. as you can see, everyone likes different things. I just couldnt stand that they dont give you a practice head and you spend 30bucks and have to use one of the hunting heads to practice with. My blades would bend after the hit and you had to put replacement blades back on and I didnt like those small allen head screws! Changing blades was a nightmare for me. Went to rage since they give you a practice head. Granted its also pretty much a 1 shot one kill bhead. Im not replacing blades since its easier for me just to buy a new pack.

G5 has that new expandable out now which looks good for the same price as the rage heads. The only downside ive seen to the rage heads is that you need to check them to make sure the blades are locked into place before the shot. Thats no big deal to me since I always check my bhead before the shot to make sure its tight and ready to go.

no matter what it will come down to what "you" like and have the best results with:) I will say that throughout my years of hunting rage have grouped and flown the best of any bhead ive shot. The wound is massive and lethal. ill give the G5's a try also since I always like trying and looking for something new and better. Its plenty of great bheads out there and all will do the job though. Im just looking for that extra 1/4th grouping difference

I'm using spitfire 100gr heads.I shot a real hunting one into my block and it flies like a field point.They didn't open after hitting my block until the 3rd shot it went completly thru and into the dirt and then it opened.I took it home and sharpened the blades and now it's ready for the real thing!

[Cossack]

Spits work well for me but I like the Slicks Tricks for durability, consistence of flight and terminal performance. With them I never have to worry about blades deploying or not.
