Who's going with the Ulmer edge next season?

[ArcherAdam]

It is aluminum, but they are work on a steel version.

Good. I don't like aluminum.

Anyone know where you can buy these?

It is my understanding the Ulmer Edge should be available around March of this year. If I get any more details I will pass them along.

Ya but a Swacker on steroids. I used the Shwacker this past year with very good results and will be looking to use the Ulmer broadhead this fall. A lot beefier imo.

I just wonder what direction they go once they deflet off bone and changes the angle of the blades on entry ?

I will be trying the NAP Killzone this year. If you havent seen these, you should check them out. I think the Ulmer head is a nice design, but I like the way the baldes lock on the Killzone and that you have a choice in tip selection. I have stayed away from mechanicals in the past, but these are definitely worth a shot. Expandables seem to be revamped this year with the Ulmer head, Nap Kill Zone, G5's new expandable and Rage's devamped head. Leaves folks with some decisions for sure. Good luck to all with whatever you shoot.

count me in. If Randy shoots it, I shoot it. amen.

I think the popularity of mechanicals in the archery community is making all the manufacturers take a good hard look at redesigning performance strength, rigidty and dependability. I also think as broadheads go across the board they are really the only type of broadhead to be improved. How much more can you do to a Muzzy, Montec, or Thunderhead???? Mechanicals in general have come such a long way since the first ones i ever used in the early 90's - the Pucketts Bloodtailer. I killed several deer with those heads but looking back now they were inferior to say the least and quite honestly I didn't really know what I was doing when I started out bowhunting. As manufacturing processes have improved along with materials, so then has the quality of the mechanical broadhead. It is kinda like carbon vs aluminum. When the first carbon shafts hit the market, there was a lot of discrepancy. the process got better, materials became more consistent and then voila~ carbon leads market share. I believe it becomes a matter of time as the mechanical head out sells the tried and trued traditional fixed blade head. Just my .02.
