I may try Black Ops Shuttle Ts this year, probably put them on Arrow Dynamics Nitro Stingers or XX78s.......I also run Montecs and American Broadhead Co,s on Blackhawks or Carbon Express.....or maybe the Easton carbons I still have....maybe the Thunder heads.....that should help you narrow it down.   :chuckle:

I go back and forth, always monkeyin around, never know for sure til its time.....

Overall the Nitro Stingers and XX78s fly like darts......heavier, more forgiving......great for hunting.

Speaking of broadheads, not sure if you guys heard or not but the holding company that owns the rage broadhead brand just purchased the muzzy brand.  Should be an interesting marriage.  The holding company is trying to buy up some good quality brands across the bowhunting industry.

Just food for thought.

if they want good quality brands they screwed up by buying muzzy... IMO...
they already own block targets and a few others as well.

I was really shocked to hear it as well. Just buying out the competing companies. Muzzy may not be the best broadhead but they sell tons of them every year.

I just bit the bullet and bought some Eastons FMJ's (340) and have yet to shoot them.  I put them on the arrow inspector and they are straight as can be.  I've heard so many good things about them.  I just bought the shafts, so I can put hot pink and flourescant yellow blazer vanes on them myself.  The hidden insert is pretty cool too!

They are a good arrow. BUT they will bend and once they are bent they are junk. Make sure when you are shooting them you are shooting them at different spots on the target.

I hate following blood trails.  The only broadhead I have used where I routinely watch animals go down has been Savora.  When they became hard to get I thought about leaving bowhunting all together. :'( 

Instead I bought the company! :chuckle: 

After three years of rebuilding equipment, improving designs, and implementing quality control standards we have made them even better than before.  I thought about just keeping them all to myself, the squaw and Crazy Larry :dunno:  But, so may people have been asking for them we will probably make them available to everyone next year. Hot Pink peep sights too for some damn reason! :bash:

As far as arrows go...I like Easton ACC, FMJ and Carbon Express best.




No chit on the Savora company huh ?
I'm impressed, definetely old school

2 bladed Rage's does the trick on whitetails.  I'm sure they will work well on elk too here in WA.

Field Logic sold Feradyne Outdoors the Rage brand, but not the targets or anything else.  As far as I am aware Feradyne Outdoors has Rage, Nockturnal, Muzzy and that is it at this moment.  I've heard through the grapevine they would like to buy us. :dunno:

Your obviously more up to date than I. I just remember rage and block targets at the same booth at the ABA show in Reno 2011. I want to say IQ bowsights were with them also... but maybe not
