Do any of you get these big heads to fly well out of your compounds?

the 4 blade buzz cuts are great but anyone hunting big game here better be shooting fixed blades :rolleyes: :chuckle:
Huh? They look like fixed blades to me. I'm thinking about trying some. Impressive looking and sharp as hell.

This could be interesting if we get some responses. I shoot 180 grain Silver Flames, but out of my longbow. Would a compound guy that could throw these a lot faster need to overspine their arrows?
I wouldn't necessarily call it overspined but you would need to find the correct spine for that weight of head. Nice looking blade! Kinda reminds me of the CX XT 4 blade but I am sure a lot stronger.

I've tried 3 blades and some work well right off the bat with a little fussing,,, others,, too much trouble altogether for me. i like to keep things simple. in the end,,, it's what you get comfortable with.
good luck

I am probably going to shoot Razorcaps and Snuffers.... then see which I can get to fly the best... they both will make a nice hole!!

I am in MT, which does allow expandables, but I wouldnt shoot them anyway!

A friend of mines dad lives in Montana and he says he only shoots the Rage 2 blade for his hunting. I guess he has killed a bunch of elk with them.

These 3 blades are pretty dang easy...with a decent diamond stone I can get them sharp fast... and with a little more time they shave ok....

why can't you hunt for a couple of years ?
coach I'm a 2LT in the Army. I'm currently in SE Alabama learning to fly helicopters. So I'll wont be able to hunt this year or next year due to flight school. The fall of 2012 I will most likely be deployed to Afghanistan. I'll be hunting just not elk, more of the Taliban persuasion :chuckle: So most likely I wont be able to hunt elk until 2013. Which by then I should have about 8 or 9 points saved up. So HOPEFULLY that's enough to draw a tag. Until then I'll be living my life vicariously through all of you guys. So keep posting pics and stories PLEASE!!!!!!
In the meantime I can hunt hogs 365 days a year with no limit. And deer season runs for 3 1/2 months. The limit is a total of 3 bucks throughout the year. And I can shoot 2 does a day every day.
I plan on using hogs as a test bed to test a couple of different broadheads. I figure their thick bones and hide should be a good test bed for elk. I currently am using Slick Tricks. I also plan on testing out the Shuttle T-Loc and the Magnus Snuffer SS.

Lowedog don't worry I've for three rages in my quiver as we speak.
520 I have yet to even see a pig. It'll happen though. This tike of year is really hard to hunt pigs because of the heat. They are very inactive and very nocturnal. But I keep trying. The base game warden literally gave me grid coordinates to where there are pigs. I'm gonna set out bait and let my game camera do Tue scouting. Then go from there. Ill most definately post pics
