Any one shoot grim reapers?

[texasaggiebowhunter]

I watched a video on their broadheads called "broadhead mythbusters" and i must say that they put them through some really rough and tough stuff. A couple of tests broke the rages to pieces and only left scratches on the reapers. I must say that i have always been skeptical of mechanicals and have always relied on fixed blades. But after this, im convinced. wanted some feedback about their use in the field

when I shoot mechanicals, that's what I shoot

great broadhead

I shot a buck the second weekend in the season with one at about 21 yards. Deer was quartering away, shattered rib going in and had a complete pass, he went about 50 yards and crashed instantly

Awesome! thats what i wanted to hear!

on a side note, its great to see how many aggies are on the sight!!!

Dropped a 250 lb + hog at 20 yds with a spine shot. Luckily the broadhead opened up or I think I would have just wounded him as it was a little low of the spins and high of the vitals. Haven't shot anything else with them yet. Got a buddy that swears by them.

i have them and like them, i have not got to shoot anything with them but hopefully this weekend that will change.

i take it that i souldnt have put that side note huh?

From what I understand, if you have a lot of steel drums coming to your feeder, they are a top notch broadhead.

I've only used those junky slick tricks and rage broadheads for shooting through things like meat and bones.


I wonder why someone doesn't set up a few dead pigs and shoot them with multiple broadheads as a test?

[texasaggiebowhunter]

haha, i was waiting for someone to say that

[Fightinaggies]

Can I get a whoop?!!

[kyle1974]

I'm serious about that...

the physical properties of an empty steel drum are nothing like the relatively intact tissue of a live animal.

By falling into the marketing trap of a "test" where a certain broadhead that might be harder to break is shown to be a better performer, you could be limiting your actual performance potential. I'm not saying the grim reapers aren't a quality broadhead, I'd just really like to see an "apples to apples" test.

I don't know about the steel drums, but they have done the job on the deer my dad has shot. He shoots 60lbs and has no problems killing live animals with the reapers. With that being said, I shoot 2 blade rages and g5 strikers. I have been thinking about giving them a try.
