Well, from my expedience I would say no. I bought two 3 packs and expected for them to fly to the same POI as my Slick Trick 100 grain standards but at 20 yards they landed at 11:00 o'clock and 1.5" high.. At thirty yards they were off even more.. Definitely a nice head.. Easy to get out of the target because the blades swing forward when you pull it out of the target, but then you have to reset the blade and tighten the screw for each blade after each shot.

Also another thing I noticed was that I had to be careful how the blades were orientated because the blades are so big the potential is there for a blade to nick the stirrup if your stirrup is wrapped.. If I set the head where the blades line up with the fletching, the blades would barely miss my stirrup and I think it happened on one of my shots at the target backstop when the arrow took off 3 feet left and about 2 feet high. Imagine that kind of flight at an animal.

I like them and will play with them in the off season and see if I can get them to hit the same POI. From pics I've seen these heads are devastating. Another thing to consider is that the manufacturer is coming out with a new version where the blades are a bit shorter, maybe I was not the only one to be concerned with the length of the blades and my stirrup.

I may do the same this season.. makes life more simple as I do like the design of these heads.

Ramcats are the best flying fixed blades I ever shot an testing them on bare shafts for accuracy no others compared .that tells a lot about how broadheads fly an then when fletched very forgiving head for me. shot my buck this year with one an devastating results with 40 yd recovery. only thing the blade tips get bent easy an I have more cuts on my fingers from using these than any head I ever shot.

the nice thing is the 1-1/2 cut 125gr. Blades fit the 1-1/4 cut 100gr. heads. they also done great in my penetration test. a fine very sharp head if you don,t mine the blade tips getting bent easy .
