Swat x mag

Post by mchurch »

I hear lots of good things about the swat x mag. Do the back blades hit the crossbow arrow when deployed?

You have heard correct. Yesterday I built some heavy double carbon wall Aero Concept arrows for my Ontario spring bear hunt in 2 weeks featuring the SWAT X MAG on the serious end. The bears so far on cam are a bit on the heavy side dwarfing the bait barrels and the X MAG is certainly ready for duty.

On this forum last fall I displayed a photo of the X MAG buried to the insert in a hard maple tree at 40 y, upon chiseling the tree open I found none of the blades bent or broken.

I have been shooting mechanicals with interest since about 1995 and SWAT has certainly filled that niche for me as my favorite large cut mechanical thus far.

As to your question, I found a very slight (one side only) blade impact feature on one of my brass inserts out of 3 arrows recovered from game using the X MAG.

The carbon shaft was untouched and not compromised in any way.
