RE: shockwaves
I have never had a prblem with the shockwave broadhead. I have been shooting them for 4 years at deer and turkey, and I have always had a good blood trail and quick clean kills. This year I think I am going to try the Scorpion XP's, which is the same broadhead with a cut on impact head. I would say look into them, they will probably offer a little better penetration.

texasaggie.....did you have the small metal ring around the base of the broadhead. They should not hit the shaft of the arrow when they open up. I have used them for a number of years with flawless performance. I have had pass thru's at 55 yds.

RE: shockwaves
Sure did. I put the metal ring on then as i would shoot the blades would cut through the ring. Once the ring has been damaged by the blades it was forced on the threaded shaft and I couldnt remove it without prying it off. I think if that ring was stronger I would not have the problems that I was having.

I used rocket sidewinders last year with excellent results. I got complete pass thru on a 325lb bear.I think the sidewinders would be just fine. Most of the guys I hunted with used spitfires with good results.
