Tough question. I love our standard heads for outwest big game. I shot my two biggest bulls last year with the s125 at 64 and 82 yards, hitting right where I was aiming and found the arrows 20 yards past them. I think our new single bevel with bleeders would have done the job just as well...
Sorry, there are no plans at least for this year to make a left bevel. You will definitely want to have a right fletch to use right single bevels so that the arrow rotation is maintained in the same direction through the animal.
We have a few options in 125 grain heads. Our heads are more expensive than most but you will get excellent sharpness, edge retention and durability right out of the package. We just added a wide solid blade to our wide150 to wide250 grain heads. This was requested primarily by traditional...
Traditionally, single bevel heads don't have bleeders and we are offering that option. Personally, I've preferred our 2-blade with 3/4" bleeder over a single bevel for opening up holes and slicing more tissue. Depending on the single bevel design, they can create an S cut which opens up holes...
We’ve had a lot of request for single bevels for a couple of years now. I've often said that a double bevel gives you a better combination of sharpness, edge retention and durability. This is inherent in the geometry and I have not changed my mind on this. It took a while to get a single bevel...
You'll find a wide range of opinions on whether vane and vent noise matter. My opinion from reviewing sound amplitude vs time plots from microphones down range is that the "shish" noise from blade vents isn't noticeable at the animal until the arrow is very close, like it comes out the sides as...
I haven't seen a noticeable difference at 50 yards in my testing. Shots under 60 is where I would use these. They will shoot accurately much further, but a broadhead this size is less forgiving than our standards.
We've had a ton of requests for this head through Rockslider messages, emails, and social media making it an easy decision for us. Our
first new broadhead announcement of 2021: all Wide series heads 150 grains and heavier are now solid. Our testers, including Aron Snyder, have reported them...
Yes, VAPs have a .166 ID so the .166 HITs will work fine. Note: they are Deep Six threads so need Deep Six broadheads and field points. I know a few people using our HITs and Impact Collars with Victory VAPs.
Check out our website on Friday and you will see a buff125 option. You could put the wide 125 blade in that head if you want a wide head with no-bleeder. Personally, I would probably shoot our wide head as is with bleeders if you will be at 550 grains and 260 fps, assuming you are not taking...
Yes, I'll be updating our Impact Collar arrow compatibility chart to include the 4mm Axis Long Range along with a lot of other .204 and .165/.166 arrows soon.
I'm working on new product development for components and broadheads. I'd like to know what traditional archers are using for total weight upfront on your arrows including the insert, broadhead, and collar if used. Let me know what you are using or want to use for total weight.
Thanks!
A light-fast arrow has more negatives than positives for hunting in my opinion. Increasing arrow weight will make your bow more efficient and quieter and give you more penetration due to having more retained momentum. If your arrow is going straight at impact, FOC doesn't really enter into the...
Rosco, as others have said you would be slightly over spined, but I generally prefer that. You can shoot different weight field points around that range and see what your trajectory is like and how they group for you.
Fullfan, the Impact Collars shouldn't be able to cause a problem with...
Thanks for all the input guys. I put this in a histogram and attached it here for anyone interested. The x axis is total upfront weight and the y axis is the number of people at that weight. I was thinking that 150-175 would be most common and it is, but a lot of guys are shooting 200 grains...
