Carbon Express F-15 Broadheads
« on: October 01, 2009, 10:13:02 PM »
Anyone using the Carbon Express F-15 broadheads?  I have had a couple crack on the main blade target shooting, and at $40 for a three pack it seems a little ridiculous >:(  This is my first year archery hunting so I am open to suggestions from the experts on a replacement if this becomes an ongoing problem.

Keith shot his Bull with them,  not impressed with lack of blood trail or penetration.   Bull only went 35 yards but that was shot placement.... I will stick with my snuffers and or montecs.

There is always something new that we all want to try.  Me, I'm not switching broadheads next year.  Unless.......................

so you want a GOOD LONG BLOOD trail? what the hell...most blood trail start after 20-30 yards ...then you say shot placement well the arrow and broadhead hit where it was pointed..so the heads not good ...wow OK?
there are a lot of good BH out now days and the F-15 is one of them I dont shoot them I use Slick Tricks but I would shoot them cuz how they fly I have seen Dustin shoot them out to 130 yards in a 6" dot. ....the BH shot where it was aimed the bull died in 35 yards and you dont like them ...COOL...thats a first for me ....most the time its the BH hit to the right and I lost the bull...but OK

Just my opinon.  By the way I would not complain about it dropping in 35 yards, and they did fly great.  However,  after examining the cuts made by all 3 of them.... and yes he hit it 3 times all in the boiler room,  yet not one was a passthrough,  and minimal cutting compared to what I have seen slick tricks and snuffers do.  Could have been just on this animal,  but in my opinion I will not switch to them.  Good enough?  Didn't mean to get you fired up there....  :dunno:  ;)  Just was offering what I saw in regards to them.  :o  By the way he shot one in practice in camp,  hit a root and it broke,  way too easily in my opinion.   :yike:

We had a Customer come in and SHE shot her Moose with them and had a passthrough with only 50lbs?
the bull only went 30yards....We are lucky cuz we have alot of great Broadheads to pick from now days.

NW Im not fired up ...I dont care what you shoot its just I have never had someone say they fly great, hit where I aim and killed a bull went down in 35 yards and then say I didnt like them? Thats what we all want.

This is the Blood trail from the deer I shot last year ...The blood trail didnt start for over 50 yards I was ready to go back and wait 5-6 hours on this buck?
