broadhead/bolt combo to stay away from..

[bob1961]

I hit something with my Slick Trick and had to throw it away . . .I don't see the logic there. The Stricknines have a replaceable tip . . .doesn't make it a better killer than the other two broadheads in the picture.

what did you hit with it that you had to throw it away....a few years ago when tricks first came out on another forum some body did a BH durability test with a bunch of heads, fixed and mach's into a cinder brick at 15 feet....i know a deer is not as tough as a cinder brick....he did the test to see which BH took the most beating and was able to be shot over and over....the slick trick was the only head able to be shot a second time over every other BH tested that gave up the ghost on the first shot....the tricks went on to the 4th shot before it went south and couldn't be shot the 5th time....nothing was changed on them either.........bob

You will never get an answer on this question because it comes down to personal taste. Some like Reebok, others like Nike. Broadheads are the same way. Try em until you have one you are confident with and go shooting. One man's perfect broadhead is only what HE thinks is perfect! Nothing else.

Now, who can help me decide wether to keep my old Remington .223 or my new Savage DBM .223?

Hehe! If you knew what a beauty this one was, you would be lucky to pry it out of my hands. I picked this thing up as an old used 1989 BDL .223. I knew I wanted a Remington varmint gun. I did not however dream I would get one that shoots like this one. All factory except the Boyds thumbhole stock and it drives everything I put into it into very small groups.

WItha little load development, I have several laods that will do .3 MOA or better and I honestly believe that I can tweak this thing to .2 or less. Just got lucky buying a used gun.

I have yet to shoot the Savage VLP but am hopefl I can make it a .5MOA gun or better witha good bedding job and some load development.

Ohh yeah, what was that about broadheads again? LOL

This could go on forever but it makes me happy. Also seems the slick trick made a bigger hole then the rage 3blade. Fixed blades got ALOT better penetration and didnt break.

Ive tried mechanicals, twice. Im sticking with fixed blades

Them barrels are much harder then the deer you guys chase

Mechanical broadheads are made to cut meat, not metal nor bone. The baldes are made to bend around the bone, keeping it's path toward the vitals, and keep cutting meat.

A rigid blade will most likely deflect when it hits dense bone. Rarely does it keep cutting.

I perfer a broadhead that is made to kill deer in the most efficient manner possible. Not barrels.

I am a new XBow owner so I have not been able to test much. Four Firebolts came with my new Vortex and purchasd another six. Out of ten bolts six are consistant shooters. Four of them fly all around. Out of the ten I have lost four inserts (one with a brand new Boltcutter) Easton has a terrible insert gluing process and thier fletch gluing in messy. All in all "Poor QC".

I traveled 1400 miles,paid $315 for out of state licence and took my first shot with my new Vortex an boltcutter at a big doe(20 yard pass through) Blood coverd bolt and fletch 15 yards of blood trail and then nothing. I had eight people tracking and did not find her. She was in the thick brush some where but no find. She was my first lost deer (ever) and my first shot with my new Vortex and I was very upset

My Brother-in-Law gave some 100 grain Vortex Pro Extremes. I had only shot 150 and had set my varizone to the 150's I was concerned that they would be bad off. I borrowed a couple of 100 field tips and shot a few times. They were a bit high and a little to right. I left the scope as it was and screwed on the Vortex.

My next four shots 15-25 yards resulted in one seven point and three does. The longest recovery was 50 yards on the Buck and the shortest was 15 yards on a big 100lb doe. All pass throughs, 16 feet elevated stands, plenty of blood to track and Venison in the freezer.

What every the combo, a 125gr Vortex Pro-Extreme will be flying out of my Extreme Vortex

i shot firebolts when first got bow with boltcuters .spun arrows ,weighed,sorted,only shot ones that hit close to same place with field points.shot more than one three shot group with field points,boltcutters around 1 inch at 50 yds.but boltcutters did not hit same place as 150gr field points.3inches off.boltcutters super acurrate. same size groups as field points.now shoot 2114 super slams 110gr brass insert,2inch blazers 1oo,125 field points,4 degree hec.most acc.iv,e shot made 1 dozen up allwithin 1 gr. of each other made a dozen gt11 same comp. were up to 6gr off super slams all shot close to same spot till bag fell overbent two.all 100gr broadheads iv,e shot on superslams hit close to same as field points i think having arrows that all shoot the same place with the right foc.before shooting broadheads makes all the diff. if i just picked up a dozen arrows screwed on broadheads i would hate to see the group.ithink most broadheads will shoot good on the right arrow.just sort firebolts screw on boltcutters.super acc.
