I killed two hogs with the 100gr. swhacker 2" broadheads. Both shots were high right below the back bone catching the top part of the lungs. One ran around 50 yards while the other ran about 100 yards. Not much of a blood trail until the last 20 yards or so. I'm thinking because the shots were so high? Both broadheads were not damaged at all after breaking ribs, I was able to resharpen and put them back in my quiver. Going to give them another try hopefully on a deer this season.
I believe they all kill deer. Asking us which broadhead is like asking us which color car to buy. Get what ever you like
If you think they are all created even close to equal you do know much about a lot of different Broadheads as far as actual on game performance or have not killed with enough different ones.
Swackers or as they use to be known, Sonoran Broadheads have been around a lot longer than a lot of the heads on the market today and have killed a ton of animals. Rick Forrest developed these heads in Arizona and a lot of monster elk and muleys have fallen to this head. A lot of people say this head will not produce a blood trail without a pass thru because of the 1" cut upon entry, but the 1" cut is not much smaller than a tremendous amount of "so called" great heads on the market today. Slick Tricks only have a 1 1/8" cut and people spout the effectiveness of this head right and left. Not much difference in 1/8" is there! Think about it.
I have had some huge entrance holes with the Swackers before they became Swackers and have lost animals with both the Swackers and Slick Tricks. Not due to the heads, but to poor shot placement.
Most bowhunters should start blaming the shot placement and their shots rather than the broadheads for lost animals!

g5 t3 all day! have givin me a lot of confidence shooting deer and hogs! have shot 5 or 6 deer in the square shoulder and blown threw both, haven't shot anything in the guts yet with them (knock on wood) but a liver shot and he went 100 yard and piled up. I shoot a pse brute x, 25 1/2 inch draw and 70 lbs! hoped I help u with ur decison
put a ramcat through both shoulder blades of an eight point buck at twenty five yards opening evening.......wont be usin anything else unless it can out do that....
I've had great luck with schwackers but have not tried the others. My last shot with a shwacker killed two +\- 100 lb hogs with one shot at 20 yards. All the way throug one and sticking about half way out the far side of the other. The second one ran about 200 yards though.

I had the same experience on Sunday Shooting a hog. Was using the Swhacker 2' blades and had a lung shot from maybe 15-20 yards. Hog ran and crashed about 50 yards away but other than a couple small drops, it did not leave a blood trail what so ever.
I would think there would be a different outcome when shooting a thin skinned deer. Regardless the broadhead did do its job though and they fly about the same as my field tips so I'm gonna keep shooting them.
That being said, I am curious to try the Grimm Reaper Whitetail Specials. My buddy shoots them and really likes them and the blood trail they leave is insane.
T3 of those listed (shot pigs with them in the off season). But #1 slot in my quiver this year is a Grizz Trick. I've gotten as good of blood trails with it as I did the Whitetail SP Reaper.
