Swhacker broadheads
I have been reading magazines and watching hunting channels like mad and I've seen a number of ads for these. I've only seen them in use by vert bow hunters. Has anyone tried them?

Never seen them before, but, I'm interested . . .well, only in the 125 gr.
Anybody shoot these things at a deer yet?

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

It does fit my MO . . .wide and wider. However, the total cutting surface is still less than the Stricknine because of the three blades on the Stricknine. Probably close to the Slick Trick. I like the design and that hard angle penetration is hard to get even with a fixed blade. They have a lot of ferrule out in front.

Re: Swhacker broadheads
I'm the type person who will try just about anything once , so I picked up the last pack of Swhacker 100 grain 1 3/4 broadheads that our Wal-Mart had this morning. I would have much rather had the 2 inch 100-grain broadhead but as usual they were out. I will be hunting for the next 5 days and expect to be able to test one of them on an unsuspecting doe. I will post a review and pictures if or when the deer cooperate.

Re:
Scott, I am currently working on a new broadhead design I call "The Cleaver" ... that actually cuts the deer in half upon impact.sumner4991 wrote:It does fit my MO . . . wide and wider. I like it.
When I have perfected it, I will contact you about testing the prototype.

Patent search clearly shows this design has already been thought of. The inventors are shown below.

Re: Swhacker broadheads
I think the more you improve the odds of taking down the prey as quickly as possible the better. I am interested in the results of a this broadhead as I am too old to go chasing deer around and want them to drop ASAP. I got my last deer with a 100 grain Montec CS and Gold Tip Laser II with my Ibex at 20 yards - he went less than 20 yards before drop and die after a quartering away shot that punctured the diaphragm and 1 lung. He could not breathe so that was all she wrote.
The reason I am interested in the swhacker is if I get a less than perfect shot will it bring my food down where I can go get it quickly and be satisfied that it did not suffer too much
I think I will take the chance and try the swhacker this fall

Re: Swhacker broadheads
Well this thread is four years old lol so if you do a search on Swhacker you will probably get better results.

Re: Swhacker broadheads
I bought a heap when they had a special on.
I like them so far,but not used them enough in the field yet to give a recomendation, but so far so good. Knees playing up and haven't got to hunt since then.
I like more weight than the maximum 125gr they offer so I used with brass inserts.
They are very well designed, but I would like to see then come out with a steel ferule option for the extra weight and strength. For me they proved very accurate at longer distances, and no probs opening early etc from the equinox.

Search this term, Test fired a shwacker tonight
after using these i prefer a 3 blade to a two blade.Look at the spitfires or rocketheads.I bought some 2" 3 blade 100gr rocketheads to try out this year.
