I tried them, they gave me erratic results.
I make my own arrows, they are all right hand twist.
My first try I got excellent groups out to 40 yards with 4"vanes, then the next time out I got less than satisfactory results. I switched to 2" Blazer vanes and got everything consistent, but was still not terribly happy with the groups. I screwed a Slick Trick back on to the shaft with the 2" Blazers and have never looked back at the Talons.
The Talons look very cool but were not as consistent as I had hoped.
I emailed the MNR about the Talons for the simple fact they they do not traditionally qualify for our Ontario regulations, turned out the tiny little "bleeder" blades are what allow these to be legal, for now. The MNR said they are going to change the current wording of the broadhead regulation to disqualify the Talon line (and others like it) and to save my money. Bottom line is that they are legal for now though. I was in contact with Talon throughout my multiple communication with the MNR and forwarded them a copy of the correspondence, until that time Talon was unsure of the the legal use here in Ontario, they put the things on Wall Marts shelves using my MNR correspondence and rewarded me with a small selection of their products..
So yes, I have tried them all with many combinations of shafts and vane sizes, they are OK, but do not hold a candle to the accuracy and entry/exit damage of a slick Trick.

There are better ways to increase your FOC than increasing the size on the broadhead.. I only went with 100 grain to match the rest of the tips I have laying around.
I am partial to the Gold Tip Carbon arrows with a brass insert and 2" Blazer vanes, they perform without flaw for me in any weather.

Whent out with the cross bow sunday. Got my first kills with it, man this thing is great. Used the hyper heads, first one was 15yds compleat pase threw went about 30yds, next one was a 35yd shot another compleat pase threw went about 50yds excallent blood trail on both of them. Ive been useing crimsons for 4years and after trying them with the cb i whont change a thing.
What can I say these heads are the end all be end all!! I have never had such a good blood trail and VERY fast kills ever!! I have used Slick Tricks for years and also G5s. Nothing has made as big an impact on crossbow hunting as these broad heads in the last few years!! I would say good luck with them, but then again if you hit the Boiler Room with one of these heads you will not need it!
