I currently use the 125 grain broadhead, been using it for 3 years now, have taken 3 deer without failure(aside from the one that I hit and wasn't able to recover off posted property ) I made the switch to them after wounding a doe in 05 with mechanicals, and on fastarrows recommendation. These broadheads will go through some pretty tough stuff , took my buck in 06 through the head(unintentionally) using this same broadhead. I have tested the penetration of this broadhead on several hard surfaces and have been pleased with the results. One test was performed on a 2x4 at 40 yds, the arrow went completely through. A second test was performed on a 1/8 thick steel plate at 40 yds, again the arrow went completely through The broadhead comes in 3 sizes 85, 100 and 125 grain. I prefer the 125 grain head as it puts my KE closer to 45 and my total weight to 409 grains. If your looking for a reliable, accurate broadhead then this is the broadhead for you. They are $23.99 for a 3 pack, but IMHO that is well worth the price.

Haven't shot it in the new 'X' Force yet. Still getting used to the harder draw with the mew MF cams that the 'X' Force has for 08.
Probably in the next few months after it warms up I'll start shooting broadheads with my new bow.
I don't think I'll have a problem with them as I have switched to Blazer vanes for this year.

the blazer rock used them last year. don't know if its just people talking but keep a eye on your strings, some were saying they stretch a lot. just read it on archery talk, some other owners were saying this. plan on new strings for my guardian this year they don't hold up real well either.

I won't have that problem, as I did my usual switch of the factory string before I even set it up.
Had my archery pro install a Winners Choice string and cable the day it arrived. I have had bad experiences with factory string in the past, so I make it a habit of replacing the string upon getting the bow.

I really like them only negative thing I have ever heard was from a friend on another site. While Elk hunting with them the first year. He shot a Elk at 20 yards and hit the far shoulder blade. Bending the point back alittle. Still blowing throught the shoulder blade!! Now the head was unusable ever again but man thats nice.
