Razorcaps
I have been thinking about using a cut on contact broadhead and after doing some research the Razorcaps seem like a good one. Anyone here ever heard of them or use them? Please let me know what you think.

RE: Razorcaps
I've looked at those. Check the razorcaps out http://www.razorcaps.com/home.html
As far as mechanicals go I've used the wasp for a few years and they leave a big cut (1 3/4") and are accurate. If used on a fast recurve xbow you have to use two o'rings to stop them from opening. You can practice with them by tying them up with a few wraps of dental floss. I do not know if they are the best mechanicals but they are the most conservative mechanicals. Yeah there are lots of them and there are lots of opinions and its confusing. I just picked the least radical one and use them. I have always used conservative broadheads and have never found a bad one. They always work for me. The most durable most accurate one I have used is the thunder heads. I shot one into a 45 gal drum and they through one side and half way into the other side and everything intact. Did it three times but the last time it lost all the blades and did a bit of damage to the shaft of the broadhead but the tip was still perfect. Problem is I haven't done that to anyother head! Did it just for fun.

RE: Razorcaps
Hey Dnk, Whatcha shootin for xbow and arrow? As I recall, think you got an Excal. Know Danny Miller? He helped me take the beast out of my Emax. Went to 408 gr. LII's, Excel string. Got me down to about 330 fps, much quieter, less vibes, more accurate, [didn't think possible] better string wear. He really knows his stuff. Told me "Slick Tricks" were "the best b-head in the world". I got some 100 gr. ASAP. I don't know about best in the world, but they are awesome. I saw a test somebody did w/ them on hog shoulder somewhere, but can't seem to dig it back up. You can look at them at www.slicktrick.net. I've found they do everytrhing that's claimed of them Regards

My fav so far for my compound and xbow is thunderheads and wasp jack hammers.
I've heard good things about about Dan Miller.

RE: Razorcaps
Dnk; Yeah, I'm a tinkerer too! But, when I tried the slicks, I sold the Muzzys and Wasps I had, 1 1/2 dozen at a little loss. I'm an accuracy freak. There was no comparison.
RebelHog: Don't know what choices you're down to, they will all work, just some better than others. I've had several over the years, the pick of the litter is Excals, followed by an older PSE, Had two Barnetts, real problems w/ both. Recently blew up a Quad 400 trying to get better than 3" groups @ 20 yds. Don't really know what happened, either the string jumped over the arrow or the arrow was too light, but was told by a Barnett dealer to try it. Trigger pull on the Quad was terrrible. I scan several forums, and I know that there are a ton of happy Barnett people out there, I'm not trying to diss there choices, but rather relate my ownexperiences. I really like Xbows, the worst I ever had [Whammo 80# pull] was better than none at all. I wish I had shot my buddies Excal "Vixen" before I got this monster I got now!! I can un-cock it by hand, but have to bring the Max home to shoot it into a target. No dirt here, just rocks. Have fun!!!
