The broadheads did start to change impact every time I shot it due to the wear and tear and looseness on the blades, springs, rings, etc. I did not get the same results with the actual broadheads.ħ. I did get repeatable accuracy from the practice tip as far as it impacting in the same place. This sucks because I really like the blades and want to use them.Ħ. They actually impacted on opposite sides of my aiming points and had very little consistency. I DID NOT in my opinion have reliable accuracy between each broadhead even when both were banded. By reading the backside of the cardboard I had a perfect 3 blade pattern everytime showing they opened perfectly even when banded.ĥ. then impacting my foam block to stop the bolt. Also I tested opening function by shooting through several layers of cardboard with a 6" gap behind it. I discovered if you band the broadhead closed with dental bands you get more consistency on that particular broadhead because it keeps the loose blades the same for every shot. I discovered that after each shot the blades were looser, the spring more compressed, the inner rings more worn and bent.Ĥ. Firing the actual broadhead will get you a different result each time due to wear and tear on the broadhead. Maybe not so much at shorter distances.ģ. So much so that I would be concerned at longer distances. Mine were hitting quite a few inches away from the practice tip. The actual broadhead.in my experience.does not even hit like the practice head. I will need to do extensive re-zeroing with my scope to sight in with the practice tip.Ģ. The practice head does not fly like a field point in the sense that you can shoot the same P.O.A. here are some things I've learned about these grim reapers.ġ. I then shot a couple of the broadheads and I had very mixed results. ( I knew this as its dead on at 34 yards) I then shot the practice tip that comes with the 3 pack of broadheads and it hit about 2-3 inches low and to the left of P.O.A. At 30 yards using the #2 reticle and the 100 grain field tip my bolt hits about 1 1/2 high from P.O.A. I used the same bolt for all testing to ensure consistency. For this testing, all shots were done at 30 yards from a caldwell lead sled and shots all felt great and rock solid into a reinhart 18-1 foam block. ![]() I am using the 100 grain razor tip 3 blade Model #1973. I'm shooting the factory 20" k20 bolts with 100 grain field tips. I'm also open to any suggestions from folks using this broadhead on getting better accuracy.
