What broadhead do you use? I used the rage hyperdermic this year. Worked well. But, i will try Grim Reaper this year.
My shots are no more then 30 yards. Also, will be going to Black Eagle Executioners for shafts.

Ive used rage in the past, worked fine for one deer each and then the broadhead was beyond repair. Switched to grim reapers years ago, killed many deer, and have used most for multiple deer. At the price of broadheads these days, that matters to me. Couple friends use Nap Spitfires and like them also.

Fixed blades. Got tired of messing with the retainers on mechanicals

Wasp 100 gr Boss, fixed blade
Slick Trick. So far so good. Not lost a one. Actually I cant remember one going over fifty yards. I only take good shots though. I know things can still happen with a good shot but I try to give myself the best chance of recovery by sticking to broadside or slightly quartering away.

100 grain Spitfires. Fly true from my xbow and makes an easy trail to follow.

Went back to NAP Thunder heads. The blood trail on several deer we shot with slick tricks were very marginal at best for what the hits where.

This was my first season using a crossbow. Been all rifle and ML up to this point. Used Grim Reapers at the recommendation of the local sporting goods store. Killed 2 does at 40 yds, neither went more than 50 yds. Zero blood trail though, and that concerns me.

Started with rage but had trouble with them opening. Been using swacker and no problems on bear and deer.

It depends on the speed of the crossbow. If I can get a fixed blade to fly good it's a magnus black hornet. Grime reaper for mechanical. I only use fixed blades out of my compound bows.

wife uses rage broadheads in her crossbow. She has recovered every deer she shot for the last 3 season.

I will be trying these out!

Mistake to buy those, they are not finished as a good broadhead, look good in the picture is all, I know, I will not even use the ones I bought, think they went in the steel scrap box.

Rage and Sevr.
Both are excellent.

Re: X-Bow Hunters - 01/17/23 09:08 PM
I tried successfully and not so with mechanicals
I'll hunt with fixed blades from now on.
Steelforce are my favorite

Started with Rage and then went to a fixed blade and now shooting a Magnus 150 grain buzzcut with bleeder blades.

Personally I believe that mechanicals are just a gimmick to sell something "new and improved" My crossbow shoots broadheads as true as any mechanicals I have tried. It boils down to shot placement no matter what style you choose.
