Which BH would you most recommend for deer and elk? Would that be the Rival? Can I get it in a 125 grain? I'm shooting a mid-range Hoyt Turbo Hawk at around 63 lbs. Thanks neighbor.
I am a fan of the Rival 125 and took advantage of this offer

Choices are limited when we get to 125 grain choices so that would be VanDyke, DelMastro (High Profile), Rival (avail in both VanDyke and DelMastro blade styles) and the Ti-Con.VanDyke (LPS) blade style flies best in wind and penetrates better than most, DelMastro (HPV) blade leaves a bigger hole in hide and a slight advantage in blood trails. Ti-Con is a bit longer head so overall bigger size, but it ends up being a compromise between the VanDyke and DelMastro blade styles.But as to which is better? It's about like asking Dodge, Ford, Chevy and Toyota owners what the best truck is. Of course my personal favorite, the Ti-Con, is always the best choice!! Jason Phelps, Larry VanDyke, Del DelMastro...they just don't understand.
Wish I would have seen this last week Was looking at the Rival 125 but non of the local stores had any RAD products in stock. Grabbed some Wac-Em 125 instead.
I got my Rivals yesterday. They're so pretty. I love the extra blades! These won't hurt my expensive target, will they Rad?
Jason and I seem to have stumbled onto something special with that Rival head. Not only are they selling very well, but the performance has exceeded what I expected. Holes in hide have been surprisingly larger than those with the VanDyke or DelMastro. Both Justin Llanes and our Australian team are raving about the soft tissue penetration. One of our top Australians actually complained that he hadn't been able to find a kill arrow this year after pass thru. "Last glimpse I get of them is when they clear the bush 30-40 yards behind the kill shot." The hollow bone penetration is so close to the DelMastro and VanDyke is hard to determine much difference. It is not "Titanium" tough but has exceeded our durability expectations as well.It really appears to be a lower cost/extra short version of a Ti-Con - which is what I had hoped for when Jason brought up the idea. The more time we spend shooting it, the more meat we put in the freezers with it, the more impressed we get with just how well it came together.

According to your site:12 PACKHPV blade fits MadMan, Triple Sec. & Titanium Signature
We have been talking with a major customer about swapping some 2015 MadMan ferrules for the new MadMan ferrules. If this works out (should know in a day or two) we will offer those 2015 models at a ridiculous price to Hunt WA members first. So keep an eye out for that post.
Sweet! Thank you.We should have a few more special deals between now and hunting season. Not sure if anything will be as wide encompassing or good as our 4th of July special. But should have some select product specials along the way.Been good to see how many Hunt-WA folks got in and saved some money. We really do appreciate the support.
