What heads are you shooting?

[cnorth]

Just wondering what kind of BHs you all are shooting with your elites? Please list your speeds, arrows, toatl weight, and any comments about wether they flew the same as your field tips. I was wanting to go back to fixed blades so I was looking for some suggestions.

After reading alot of favorable comments I ordered a pack of Rage 2 blade heads. I shot them today for the first time. They fly great atop my A/C/C 3-28's out of my 61# Xtreme. Tomorrow I hope to see how well they work on an unsuspecting doe :cool: And they fly right with my field tips.

[jksnvly]

All was well until I tried the 35yd shot into extremely bright sunlight, just nicked the 'belly' of my Delta deer and hit a rock wall 35yards away. Practice head is history :o

[lonehara]

I am a dyed in the wool Thunderhead guy. I have yet to have one not spin balance. The only negative is now the thunderheads weigh about 5 gr. more than advertised. I did try some wasp boss bullets this fall and they flew about as close to a field point as any I have tried.

[lonehara]

Forgot to add. The thunderheads that I shoot are 85 gr. and 100gr. both fly great. The wasp boss bullets are 75 gr.. The wasp heads are also a very durable head. I shot one as a practice head with a bunch of different shafts to get the arrow flight I wanted. My target is a single dot on a dirt bank so you can imagine the abuse the head would get. From 275 fps to 316 fps the boss bullets flew like darts on a vast array of weights and lengths of arrow shafts.

[Michael]

Slick Tricks.... the only head that flies like field points.;););)

Just Kidding! I am going with Silver Flames very soon.

Nice try winky winky

[Maybee-R]

I shoot Wac'ems 85 grain. out of my E-500 71lbs shot 311 fps. 420 grains.
my Synergy with a 430 grain arrow shoots 297@ 69lbs.
I shot a slick trick there nice also. I always tune my set up so the broadheads shoots the same as field points. I hate to shoot grouse with a broadhead.:D

[Elite@Last]

gonna go G5 strikers 100grain this year....

[4blade]

Well I know what I'm gonna shoot. Magnus 4 blade Stingers or the Montec. They'll both fly with field points at any speed.

[Scablands]

I used the Montec 100's last year and this year. GT 5575 arrows weights 364 and 375 grain arrows 60.5 and 62.7# bows, shooting right at 290 fps.

[Oregonbowhunter]

I was shooting the Slick Tricks out of my 90# Synergy @ 307fps & getting excellent flight. I also shot 85grn. Wac-em's and they shot equally. Total arrow weight is 474 grains.

[marzomi]

08 Synergy 30" 70.8lbs with 448 gr Carbon tech Whitetail xp's 100 gr slick tricks 297fps and flies with my fp's

07 Synergy 30" 69.8lbs with 448 gr Carbon tech Whitetail xp's 100 gr slick tricks 307fps and flies with my fp's

[4blade]

08 Synergy 30" 70.8lbs with 448 gr Carbon tech Whitetail xp's 100 gr slick tricks 297fps and flies with my fp's

07 Synergy 30" 69.8lbs with 448 gr Carbon tech Whitetail xp's 100 gr slick tricks 307fps and flies with my fp's

Isn't that interesting that the 07 Synergy is faster than the 08. What cams are on the 07?

[jksnvly]

I had a Synergy, now have an Xtreme. The draw on the Synergy was harsher, so I would assume it generated more speed as a result ?

[Rocket21]

Slick tricks and shuttle T locks have flown great out of my E-500. Speed is 290 fps at 68# with 425 g arrows.

[marzomi]

Isn't that interesting that the 07 Synergy is faster than the 08. What cams are on the 07?

The 07 has the k8 cams. One caveat. The 08 has string jax which in my estimation are killing at least 7fps or so. That said the performance diff is negligible if not on par.

The 08 has a more even draw but feels as difficult at 70lbs as the 07. Just for clarity I don't want to confuse draw difficulty with how it loads. The 07 is draw is slightly more lumpy, ie uncomfortable than the 08.

Make no mistake, both feel 5-7 lbs heavier than they are. But they rip speed wise. Arrows that heavy at 300fps is impressive. We're talkin 100gr over IBO. 7gr/lb.

[marzomi]

well, actually 6.5 gr/lb if you do the math :rolleyes:

[admiral]

'07 synergy, 70lbs. 30", total arrow weight 635gr. @ 254 fps. i use any 125gr. name brand broadhead i can get on clearance after season i.e. muzzy, wasp, thunderhead, rocky mnt. etc.

[Chupacabras]

I tried the Cabelas fx3 125 grain this year. Hard to beat for the price. Complete pass through on every animal I have shot (5 deer/7 hogs)
EForce speed mods
27.5/60lbs
Beman black max shafts@28"
125 grain heads
Haven't a clue on the speed

[trophytaker75]

I have tested about all the major brands in my test slick tricks and wakems fly the best and out penetrate all others in my testing.

[AMMOBOOGER]

100 gn montecs, gold tip 5575 w/ blazers, total arrow weight 378 gn. out of my 70# E-500 shooting 312 fps. They fly just like field points. Swapped to them last year and love them.

[L-train]

Silverflames

[WVBowhunter10]

I didall of my damage with a Rage 2 Blade and I was the least bit disappointed.

[shootinfast]

I shoot 27.25 goldtip 55-70 out of my 07 synergy70 lbs total weight 367 grains with 100 grain shutttle t-locks 298 fps .Used slick tricks last season also great heads.

[Wood]

I don't have my GTO yet but I used 125 gr. Hellrazors this year with my Guardian set at 65 or 70# and they flew great with 428gr. total, Max. Hunters. I've read some bad reviews about 3 blade penetration lately so I am now going with Silver Flame 125s. Just got some sighted in with My Allegiance set at 73 lbs. shooting 485 gr. Full Metal Jackets shooting 271 ft/sec. That's 0.58 lb.-sec. momentum!

[coozhunter]

I can't believe more folks don't shoot the head I've been using for the last 5 or so years.
I've killed LOTS of stuff with it including big bulls and it just keeps amazing me every time.
I only started using them because fixed blade heads wouldn't fly at 310 plus fps.
They fly perfectly!
They cut a NASTY hole going IN AND OUT and penetrate amazingly.
Several friends who have tried them have been amazed as well including 2 more big bulls last year!
One of the bulls scored 350"
My mom's arrows would not penetrate good and she lost an elk until last year when she switched to these and blew right thru her cow.
My wife wanted to use them on her deer hunt but I had some other old heads that needed shot up so I wouldn't let her use them.:p
They have recently been copied but the copies aren't as good as the originals.


OK..................


have I kept you in suspense long enough? :D





The name of these marvelous heads is................................................ .......................

SNYPER

[hockey7]

-70, 29 Synergy, shooting 300fps, with 400 gr Carbon express, and Magnus Stingers. Awesome set-up, and right with my field points. Thanks Elite!

[Jerry/NJ]

I'll have to go look in my quivers......:)

[Dugga Boy]

I shoot blemished, nicked and rejected SilverFlames 150gr. (the good ones I need to sell) on a 550gr. Beman BlackMax 300 @285fps.

Still with a CSS Challenger equipped with Hoyt SpiralCams.
My first Elite bow is supposed to come in next week.

[Dagwood]

I cant believe Coozhunter is the only person on here that knows the secret of the Snyper. I have been using them for about 5 years and have never lost an animal with one. My last elk I killed was at 12 yards but he was facing me strait on. I didn't hesitate and got a compleate pass through. he went 20 yards and dropped. I know 3 other guys that have shot elk and got pass throughs lenghtwise and not one lost animal. They penitrate better than any fixed blade or mechanical head on the market. Trust me, you can't beat the Snyper!

[the reaper]

400 gr cx 100 gr tekkan II 355 fps

[FEDIE316]

This year I used 85g Slick Tricks and they grouped right with my field points.
Last year I used 100g Montecs and they grouped right with my field points.
I had excellent blood with both heads and the only negative I can think of is I couldn't get the Montecs as sharp as I would've liked. I have used the Snypers in the past as well and I will agree that they were great heads as well!

[Dingo]

Shooting G-5 Montecs and Strikers. Both fly with my field tips.

[Headhunter67]

I've been using Muzzy's forever. I like the 4 blade 100's or 90's but went with the 75 gr 3 blade this year for speed purposes. Contrary to what most seem to believe I've not had a problem with fixed blade BH's at speeds over 300 fps. I've shot the Slick Tricks and wasn't impressed. My current set up is as follows: 2007 Elite Synergy, 27" Maxima Hunter 350's w/75 gr Muzzy BH = 356 gr; 28 3/4" DL; at 65# I'm shooting 310 fps. This set up did a fine job on a 142" buck and a nice doe. The Spott Hog Hunter sight makes this setup exceptionally accurate. Oh, I'm using 2" Blazers.

[eagleclaw]

100 grain Nitrons... i'll let you guys know how they fly out of my GTO when i get it.

[arrows01]

100 grain 2 blade spitfire w/340 easton axis st's
450 grains total arrow weight @ 268 fps
Elk destroyer!

[TxHunter]

I have been shooting Rage 2 blades with devistating results. But they had problems...... The problem was that they were blowing too big of holes in the animals that there internal organs were coming halfway out and plugging the hole so the blood trail was limited. And yes the shot wasn't very good.

So I will probably make the switch to Rage 3 blades.

[TexasBubba]

I have Montecs, Snypers and Tekans. I just got some Shuttles to try on pigs in a few March.

[jwg1976]

I shoot 100 grain Magnus SS 2 blades - 419 grain total arrow weight - 309 fps dead on with my field points

[nebling]

100gr G5 Montecs for me!! :cheese:


5 deer down with the same pack of broadheads, I'm a happy customer!!!

[EliteShooter1]

I m surprised that i m the first one t mention a MUZZY.
I shoot muzzy 4 blade 100gr
292gr easton axis
out of my synergy(29.5/70)they were flying at 311fps
They group 2"high & 2" left compared to field points.

[NJBuckBuster]

I personally like the rage 2 blades and the G5 strikers and montecs but looking to try the Silver Flames this up comming year.. Anyone have any feedback on the Silver Flames I would love to hear it..

Last year used Beman ICS 400's with 85gr. Spitfires from a 62lb. bow and 26in draw. I average 6 deer a season and have only lost one in the last three years, this year was one. I'll be trying something new this year.

[musky_xl]

Gonna try the Bunker Busters from Trophy Ridge this spring on some black bears.


No idea about speed cause my 08 synergy xt is on its way!

[HONKER]

85gr. and 100gr. Slick Trick's for me. Shoot great out to 60yards.

[grunter]

Just a quick one, what are the Rage 3 blade heads like ???? I can get them for a reasonable sort of a price. Any one tried them out at all & what was the result.

[Mxracer532]

Slick tricks 100gns Gold tip 7595s Blazer vains! Never change a thing from my hunting set up to my 3d set up! Fly Exactly like my feild points!

The 3blade rage is an awesome head. I actually switched from 2blade to 3blade because i had a bad shot with the 2blade and the hole was actually too large that the intestines clogged the hole and I didn't get a blood trail. They are devistating though.. :duhclap:
