Anyone use these and have tips on flight?
Ive been using fixed 4 blades, but they absolutely destroy my target. They dont have anywhere close to the same POI as practice tips. looking for something that may be closer to the same POI so I can shoot more during season.
I realize this may be an expensive venture, but It could pay off by saving me on targets |

I use nap spitfires and they fly true to my field tips and the spitfire practice tip. Have you considered these?

To each his own. I haven't looked in to the g5 havoc a whole lot but they do look intriguing. I like the idea of the rear deploying blades just not sure they function correctly 100% of the time. I've read some of the rage rear deploying blades have malfunctions. I suppose any mechanical blade has a chance to malfunction on any given shot though.

I used the grim reapers to take down a doe. Went through the other side and got stuck with about the same amount sticking out both sides. Doe broke the arrow running through corn. They open just fine and its nice having the practice tip included in a package. Only complaint I had is after a year the tips started oxidizing so maybe coat them with a light oil or something to keep them from doing that?
I've decided to shoot fixed blade because I only pull 60# ( shoulders literally dislocate if I pull more than that).

Ended up with Havocs today. No real reason over grim reapers other than my local place didnt have 2" cut 100 grain whitetails in stock

The Havocs work great. I've shot a couple deer with them and they worked flawlessly. I have one more left in my quiver now. I've been using the G5 products now for a good while and have been totally satisfied. My brother-in-law and I doubled up on does about 5 years ago. I was shooting a Tekan and he was shooting a Rage. Couldn't tell a difference in the holes. We both hit right behind the shoulder and you could nearly put your hand through the holes. I also have some T3s from G5 in my quiver. They work great as well.

I like my 100 grain Ramcats. As far as shooting same POI of my field point no difference at all. I bought some of the cheap import Ramcats. The quality is not as good as original Cats, but they fly the same and will kill just as quick I believe. 12 for like 20 bucks from China.
NAP Spitfires are hard to beat also if you are a mechanical type of guy. They to shoot the same POI as field points for me. I still have a nagging sensation for some reason about a mechanical head either opening in flight, or not opening up at all, but every Spitfire I have shot game with worked fine.... so far. Now days the sky is the limit on broad head choice and so is the price it seems.

I bought Ramcats for my son last year. He hasn't used them yet. He's just too busy with school and sports to perfect shooting his bow.

I realize this may be an expensive venture, but It could pay off by saving me on targets You could always buy an inexpensive second sight. Take off the one sighted in with broadheads and put on the one for target points when you want to practice. Just two screws and a few seconds. That is what I used to do before I knew how to properly spin-tune my arrows. |
