New broadheads

Postby Tex4426 » Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:39 am

I have been using trophy ridge meet seakers and so has my dad...we have shot 3 deer together and recovered 0...out of those 3 only 1 should not have been recover cuz it was a low shot that didnt get any vitals...my dad previously used rage but had countless problem with blades deploying in flight due to malfunctioning rubber bands...good heads but i dont trust them...i just bought some bloodrunner 3 blade broadheads...these things are wicked...they due way more damage to my target than the meet seakers...havnt went hunting since i got them but if the hole is anywhere near the size as the one on my target then there will be massive amounts of blood spilled...not to mention ive shot 1 head 20 times into a target and it still sliced my finger open(ouch)...anybody have any experience with these heads...im excited about seeing what they can do on deer hide/flesh

I shoot the blood runner 2 blades and i have shot a yote with one only thing i have got with it so far, but as far as I can tell these things are amazing. They will go though bone and all (a previous problem with the rages) plus even if for some rare reason they dont open they still are like a cut on contact blade. So in the end its all a personal choice but I am very happy with my blood runners. They have all the perks of a cut on contact broadhead but are also great as a mechanical as well.

good luck this season

Tex I was an extreme skeptic of the rage myself (because I had the same problem once after fully trusting them) but what changed my mind is I went out and bought the smallest rubber bands I could find and I put them on the top of the rage above the blade part (the top of the blades that are dull but the rubber band holds them shut every time). It works great. Sense I tried it I have never had the blade open up on me in flight and honestly have never seen damage and a blood trail like the rage produces (shot 7 deer using this method last year and haven't had one run over 50 yards and all with a HUGE blood trail). Just a suggestion from one bow hunter to another and I think it may be worth a try. I'd love to know if you try it and how it works for ya. Good luck this season!
