Swat Guys

Post by LongCarbine »

Looking for help from the guys that have used the Swat broadhead . After much research I will be switching over to them . What I need help with is the
size . I shoot a 355 and a 330 with 415 grain arrows 50 yards and in . I like the size of the A4 but the A4 mini might be better for a complete pass thru.
Any input ?
Thanks Jim .

I decided to go with the A4 Mini for use with the Axe, and up to my Matrix 380. It provides a 1.5” cross cut and should do the job. If you PM Normous he can help you out. I have not killed a deer with these yet but I’m confident in them and hope to get a shot this weekend.

LC - Excellent choice on the A4 Mini used between your 330 and 355 .
I suggest the SWAT A4 and X MAG over 380 fps with 400 fps and above to be ideal for best pass thru penetration.

Google : SWAT MILSTRAP install on Youtube as it will be helpful.

I don't know if it was a fluke but I ordered two packs of the Minis, and the Milstraps, two packs. The heads come with extra straps, and mine were the Milstraps. I would order the extra bands anyway, I think these heads will last for a few deer each honestly.

The black mil strap has all weather durability and my preference.

So if my M380 and BD400 are shooting a heavy arrow at or below 380fps, the A4 Mini is the right choice? I held off on trying them this year because I wasn't sure whether the regular or mini were for me. I also have a 360TD, so I was probably going to pick the minis so I could use them on all the bows.

Of course, no deer came during bow season. They all waited for firearm and got to taste 7mm-08. My bows are all crying now.

ROB D,
If it were me I would choose the A4 or X MAG out of your 380 and 400 and take only a nice broadside shot using the 360TD under 25-30 y max using the same A4 or X MAG.
They only difference between the two is the X MAG has .002 thicker blades.
