Russell,

After the head went through the cucumber, it hit the Morrell Yellow Jacket I was using as a backstop. The point of the head went in, whereas the blades did not. They bent backwards while one broke where it connects to the head itself. There is only a small hook holding the blades in place, and this is where the blade snapped.
But did it now slice the neck of that cucumber straight off?
I don't understand your question?
Okay don't get me wrong washington, I respect you, What I'm saying is didn't the Gobbler G. cut the head clean off before it broke? I'm saying if did then what's the problem, dead gobbler? I guess I may be mis-understanding as well.

Oh no, no, no, you're absolutely right. I'm more than happy with the way the head performed. I was a little disapointed that one broke (at $40 per three, they aren't cheap), but I'm definitely happy with them.

I'll be using them in April, for sure.

well said sir. I'm in total agreement here. $40 a head is not cheap no doubt. That sucks, but if it gets me the one bird I can get a year, then I'll go for it. I'm with you on this though.

Yeah Jeff,

$39.99 for three heads. That is why I was upset about the one I shot bending/breaking.

I just cannot bring myself to behead my game. I don't have anything against it, rather, I like to take nice quality photos of my game and I think the birds look better with their heads on![:-]

Respect!
my feelings EXACTLY!
