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.

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.

If a head doesn't work on elk...I won't build it. So it really comes down to personal preference. 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. :chuckle:

Been good to see how many Hunt-WA folks got in and saved some money. We really do appreciate the support.

I am a fan of the Rival 125 and took advantage of this offer :tup:
Those should even be better in 2018. Found a slight screw placement issue mid-season that made one out of every 20 or so not spin right without backing a screw out and putting it back in while loaded. Be dang hard pressed to find one not spin perfect right now. Also, the recent batch of blades are much higher quality and ground with an even finer hone wheel than we had last year. Should be even sharper than they were before!

I ordered some of the Rival 125s last week. Should be here today or tomorrow, I imagine. Thanks Bryan.

Was looking at the Rival 125 but non of the local stores had any RAD products in stock. Grabbed some Wac-Em 125 instead.

Wish I would have seen this last week :bash:return those dumb ol Wac-Em's and hit Bryan up for those rivals. They are worth the effort :tup:

I got my Rivals yesterday. They're so pretty. I love the extra blades! These won't hurt my expensive target, will they Rad?
They should mess it up really good! :chuckle: Keep practice blades sharp. It's surprising how much more life you get out of a target when you cut into it instead of tearing in and out. And then the big key is ALWAYS shooting into it at right angles.

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.
Do you have replacement blades for the rival 100 HPV? According to your site:
12 PACK
HPV blade fits MadMan, Triple Sec. & Titanium Signature

i think the website just needs updating because I shot Rival all last year and again this year and they take the regular HPV

Replacement blades are a snap to change but lock in so tight, they feel like a one piece.

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.
I'll keep my eyes open for this deal!

Wife and I have killed several deer and a couple elk with TiCon, Madman, VanDyke, and Rival heads. All easy to install and extremely sharp.
