Twig, October 29, 2008
By Chickadee from Rowley, Ma.
"I have shot this broadhead multiple times and every so often I would hear a wistling sound and the shot would be way off. I took my first shot at a deer using these at 22 yards and the arrow flew right over his back. After finding the arrow, only one blade was open, even after hitting the ground. I had another chance at a nice buck, at 14 yards. I shot. The arrow made a LOUD whistling sound and hit a twig the size of a needle and tomohawked off the deer's rear leg. No fixed broadhead would ever mess up like the rage did off of a twig. If you hunt in brushy areas DO NOT USE THIS!!! The twig hit the part that opens the broadhead and made the arrow shoot strait down. I killed a nice buck last year with a Muzzy fixed blade. I am switching back!"

Not convinced, November 15, 2008
By Anonymous Reviewer from Indiana
"I bought these because I heard so much about them. I shot a big 10 pt this year (on film coming to a buck decoy) at 25 yards and the arrow didn't penetrate much and it didn't bleed much either. I was sitting 30ft up and my arrow hit high (above the lungs) so we looked for days and did no find him. I shot at a nice 6 pt buck at 25 yards broadside and the arrow only went in just past the broadhead maybe 2" and he didn't bleed hardly at all, I know I missed the shoulder so I'm not sure whats up it also bent one of my blades too. When the buck turned to run the arrow fell out. We looked for days for that one also and lost him. I guess as long as hit perfectly and your close to the animal and the blades stay closed when shoot you could kill with it. There are better heads out there...Grim Reaper is one good example. Best of luck guys!!!"

most expensive gimmik ever, October 29, 2008
By southerndroptine from Ga
"i've shot at 4 does this year, 3 of them with the 2 blade, 1 with my brothers 3 blade, the deer shot with the 2 blade ran well over 50 yard before leaving any blood at all... i never found one of the deer after hitting it behind the shoulder at less than 20 yrds. I've been extremely disappointed with the results, the 3 blade hit the opposite shoulder and stopped, no pass thru... so much for penetration. Only positive is that it's as accurate as the field points. Needless to say i won't be taking these broadheads with me to any of my 4 trips out of state this year... hope this helps before you spend your money!!"
not all the reviews are bad but how many bad reviews do we need to realize they're not what they're cracked up to be.
