my VPA heads are boring. I never get to buy anything new. This is just for the EAB doe - want to see how they perform. Only carrying one of these swhackers with me.  Figured I blow through deer even very large deer and burying so deep in the dirt, why not try to put that wasted energy to use and try a wide cut...   I always was a BH junkie just have not tried anything else since I switched to VPA in 2010.

I'd say schwackers or grim reapers would be the way to go if you're dabbling with expandable heads.  NAP spitfires are a good head too.

any broadhead using an o ring is going to whistle.

Best three blade heads on the market are

Grim Reaper whitetail special pro series

Dead Ringer Freak Nasty extreme

Spitfires

I forgot about those Dead Ringers.  I've heard nothing but amazing things about them too.

The new ones use a retaining clip at the point .

you can switch that out for a solid metal collar and practice without the head opening in the target.

very well made ,

blades are spring steel , so usually if hit something hard the blades bend instead of breaking .

so still get full blade cuts .

they are extremely well sharpened  .

First Jack buys expandable broad heads, next he will change political parties and sell all of his fishing poles....... We may need to have an intervention.

but you are using xbow with them, my 60# Triax should be fine...   Right?  Seems like a lot of resistance needed with even single band to get them to open

[JHbowhunter]

I don’t know. Both fly perfect and hit same POI as field point. One solid steel no welds and tons of success, and just got it shaving sharp. The other looks like a toy.  But - will give it a shot.

Jack, if you’re going to dabble into expandable why didn’t you just buy grim reapers? No bands, no lining up collars or other bs.

it's all good.   As we all know - SHOT PLACEMENT first and foremost.  Come big buck time  - pretty sure the VPA will get the call.   Just wanna hear the SWHACK, ya know - like Hank Parker says...
