I shot grim reaper broadheads and love them. There is a link on another thread that is very interesting. Go to youtube.com and watch grim reaper videos. They do things that are truely impressive. What about the big buck/ thicker , harder body stuff?? Anybody got any experience with this issue??

My opinion of broadheads is they are way overrated. Don't need them .Use a good field point. Just my opinion
NO THAT IS NOT MY OPINION !!!!!
My opinion is really just like most everyone on here. I will go on record as saying...I have never used a mechanical head. So I really can't give you as good assessment. I have helped track a few deer shot with a mechanical and have yet to find the first deer. Bottom line.
Use a good reptable broadhead. Thunderheads, Muzzys, Slick Tricks, Magnus, Zwickeys, Bears. there is a reason these heads are still around. THEY WORK. Keep them sharp, place them in the vitals and then take your time trailing to your next bow kill.

I have thought about this for a day or two and this is my thinking. A lot of times new archery hunters will go directly to a mechanical head. And a lot of times they will take a shot that is not a great choice. They will loose a deer and then swear up and down that a mechanical head is a piece of junk and caused them to loose their deer. A broadhead of any kind will not do its job if it is not placed correctly.
When I first started bow hunting it was always thunderheads and muzzy's for me. And I still shoot thunderheads occasionally, but have switched to rocket sidewinders. They are awesome and leave one NASTY exit hole. Have yet to loose a deer with these broadheads.
Keep 'em sharp and take a high percentage shot! JMO

save a little money don't get rage. get rocky mountain snypers two blade broadhead. That is almost the same design, and the blades stay closed (before the shot) better than the rage.

have used mechanicals when they first came out, dont like em, especially 2 blade models. have used a lot of 4 blade fixed, and dont like em either. so everytime i try something new, seems like i go right back to Thunderhead 125's.
they fly well if you know how to tune them, and penetration is bar none, IMHO.
