Shooting these today, So far quite and pretty forgiving.
I shot them with 100 grain solid version and 125 grain solid version.

I am Testing the SLR in 125 grains. Here is what i am seeing so far.
The difference in the the SLR vs the 100 grain solids is most likely going to be above my pay grade shooting ability’s. They both group the same for me at longer rangers.

I do see where these vs the standard 125 solids will be an improvement at longer distances.

These are a great head, freaky sharp and after about 25 shots or so into a blob they will still make your eyes bleed looking at them.
If your looking for a fixed blade head that your going to stretch the yardage out a bit i think these need to be on your radar .

Did you notice any sound difference between the two? Wondering if the SLR is quieter?

I didn’t however I am a poor judge of anything sound related.

Have these been tested in a strong crosswind with a Hooter Shooter? My old 125gr Shuttle T's would consistently hit 18" left of the bullseye in a strong crosswind at 80 yards. That was the first time I tried mechanical heads. The Grim Reapers hit 2" left.

I ordered 1 pak of the 100 grain slr to try my set up spits 450 grain arrows out at 295 fps 18.36% foc if these work out ill grab 1 more pak. From what im seeing so far these thing shoot beautiful out to 80-90 yards so far my buddie has these and will be testing 100-120 yards soon i have to wait till my new site comes in befor I can get out that far. New site should also be in this week grabbed a dialed pruf 3va

Hey @Bill V , mind talking a bit about how you attack sharpening the inside corner on the SLR?

I'm guessing using triangle shaped rod for those sections probably?

TLDR: I'm typing up a pretty big tuning/broadhead testing I did for me/my hunting setup. At the end of the day, the SLR proved to be the most accurate, smallest group and most forgiving (minor tune issues, wind) and I think that I want this to be my elk head this year. But, I'd like to talk about sharpening that inside corner. Maybe I'm just a novice but I know you've thought about it.

Thanks!

These are a really well built head, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Bill and his company.

Here is what i seen so far.
100gr SLR. vs 100 grain standard solids IW. If there is difference in flight it’s above my pay grade as shooter, i can’t see any less than 80 yards. I wouldn’t run out and replace my standards. If you’re buying new..pick your poison they are both awesome.

125 gr SLR vs 125gr solid standards, these seem to have slightly higher hit miss ratio for me under 80, they so have a noticeably higher POI then the standards.
I think if your stretching it they are solid option, under 50 ish… your gaining but how much, again my shooting isn’t good enough to tell.

They are really a well made in design and material offering. I really feel like guys like Bill and Dakota from Day6 been moving the needle in broadheads for a long time. Even in the mech side you had company’s following suit and producing a better products with better materials.

I love the design. From engineering/weight savings standpoint it makes a lot of sense. But, how do you sharpen it?

These look fantastic.

I've been testing/shooting broadheads a lot this summer. I'll say that wind/long range is really where these shine. I live in Wyoming and it is windy basically all the time. Last night I was shooting 70 with, and I'm guessing, 20-25mph wind blowing from 2 o'clock as i'm facing the target. SLRs were still grouping with field points.

Yes, my bow is tuned well. But my single bevels, exodus, evo, vpa 3 blades weren't grouping with field points in that wind at that range.

They are, by a considerable margin, the most forgiving fixed blade head I've shot/tested. If things are completely calm, your bow is perfectly tuned and you have no torque, many heads will shoot. Add in any of those and I had issues over the past month testing broadheads. My bow even came out of tune as strings settled in and all the other heads I was testing at 40-50 were changing POI but the SLR was very minor.

My only real issue, besides the frequent out of stock issue, is sharpening. I think that the only way to sharpen the SLR is probably going to be with the Worksharp Precision Jig and there are 12 cutting surfaces plus the 4 back surfaces on the main blade and then 4 cutting surfaces on the bleeders. In addition, I'm not sure that the inside corner will ever be great but it will probably be good enough. It is a significant tradeoff in time, assuming you intend to at least touch them up to get them razor sharp before hunting.

That's impressive they group better than Exodus. I'll have to try some of these if I ever run out of Exodus and Viper Tricks.

In the calm it is different and Exodus fly well. But, things change in windy conditions and other non-ideal situations (further ranges, slight tune issues, etc), in my testing.
