Title: Silver flames?
Post by: WDFW-SUX on January 07, 2008, 01:12:32 PM: Anyone have any experience with them? I have seen some real positive reviews around the net and am too cheep to buy a pack on my own. Are they easy to resharpen? Are they quiet in flight? are they tuff? Do they leave huge blood trails? Are they worth the money?

I am especially interested in the 100gr ones.

Id love to see some Pics of what they look like attached to an arrow if you have any?

I am shooting Muzzy 3 blades and have always had a total pass through on deer. If I hunted elk or larger I would also go to a two blade, but probably the Muzzy also.

Post by: Slider on January 07, 2008, 03:50:50 PM: How do they fly? LIKE A DART!!!! This is a 100 Grain.They are not sharpened in the rear only beveled. When you consider spending $1200.00 on a Bow. $30.00 on the Business end of your arrow isn't expensive? Good Luck

Post by: WDFW-SUX on January 07, 2008, 04:10:09 PM: I used NAP razorbaks and Loved cut on contact sharp and lots of blood. My only complaint was sometimes tuning was an issue. Over the last three years I have been yoyoing around different brands and have not found anything that I really like. the latest head was the slick trick and I really liked a lot about them but I was not thrilled with replaceable blades. I kept having the blades wobble.

The sliver flames have the same shape as the razorbaks but appear thicker if they fly like field tips I may have a new head.

Now I just need to save some money so I can afford some.

Anyone shoot a deer or Elk with one? How much damage did they do?

Slider are they easy to resharpen??

Being a rookie archer........

Is it preferable to use a cut on contact two blade over a three blade for elk? I have heard this before from some of the shows out there, but heard that a blade like the slick trick is the way to go. I am sure it is a preference thing, but thought I would ask.

If two blades are better, then I would love to use these bad boys!
