New Broadheads

[Remington]

Ive been looking around for some new broadheads for this upcoming season and I found these http://www.spintite.com/crimsontalon.html

Does anyone have any experience with these? If not what kind of heads do you prefer?

Believe it or not, those are illegal in Colorado and likely a few other states. Fred

Allthough I have not personally shot these heads....everything I have heard about them leads me to not want to try them. While they do fly well, they seem to disintegrate when hitting "hard" materials....like FOAM!!!:eek: Apperantley they are quite flimsy. I'm with sealevel....go with a montec and you'll be very pleased!

While I have only taken one animal with my bow I like my MUZZY'S. MIKE

I will be using the 3 blade Muzzy's myself this year. Fred

I looked at them via the link that you posted and as with most on this site, I don't particularly like Crimson Talon. Pretty light weight and breakable from what I have seen and heard.

I personally use Slick Tricks and have found them to be deadly accurate (they fly like my field tips) also they are DEADLY period.......they leave a good, wet blood trail and they are extremely easy to re-sharpen.

They had some early problems with the 100 gr heads in that they were a bit to light in the ferrule. They corrected that in short order and now they are strong, accurate, and deadly.

I know that I posted a positive report - albeit from a personal point of view - about Slick Trick broadheads about 2 weeks ago and I still stand by my comments and observations concerning the heads.........................but

I was in Courtenay last week and I dropped into Peter's Sports on Duncan Ave, just off 5th St. While in there and talking to Rick Phipps I picked up a package of 100 grain Razorcaps. I had been looking at these broadheads on the internet for a while now and was delighted to find them in the store. You can see them at this site http://www.razorcaps.com/

First chance that I got I opened the package and weighed the heads. One was right on at 100 grains, one was a tad over at 103 grains, the last one was 105 grains.

I tested them for sharpness and found that they were in the category of being "very-sharp-right-out-of-the-box". While I will be touching them up before the season, I would use them right out of the box if I had no way of sharpening them first - they are that sharp.

When I screwed them onto my PSE 300's and slapped them onto the arrow tester to see how they were for straightness I was surprised at how little "tuning" they required.

Now it is off to the range on Sunday to see how they fly. I have every confidence that they will group with my field tips without any problems at all.

Good looking head - if that counts for anything. Nice cross section and they look to be very strong as well. I think that this will be my head for opening day. More on their performance later.

After reading diffrent opinions and write ups, I decided to pick up the 100 grain Montec G5's, but they sure dont come cheap. Maybe I didnt get a very good deal, I paid $50 bux for 3 broadheads. How would I go about sharpening these broadheads? I've always just assumed broadheads were ready to be shot right out of the box.
