These heads fly amazing from my ravin r-10. Dead on at any range. Never had a deer go more than 50 yards with them and never have I had one fail.

I got 2 deer with this exact broadhead last year. 1 deer ran 30 feet and bled out. The second deer, a little buck was knocked over by the force of the bolt and never got up again.Both broadhead were damaged because I went into the shoulder of both, but that's just a part of the cost of hunting.I know they sell replacement blades, I'll just reorder the whole thing and know they are good.

It comes with a practice tip that weighs and flys just like the tip. So I was able to dial in the crossbow. I killed one deer with them and didn’t have to track very far. The second deer I shot it didn’t expand. I got a pass thru but had to track for awhile. Not sure why it didn’t open but I will stick to the ones that have never let me down

I gave this broadhead five stars. Love the build. Love the 3-in expandable broadhead and the 150 grain Arrowhead. The only problem I do have with this is that it was advertised that it came with an extra practice head which it did not. Not very happy about that. Now I have to buy practice heads to shoot these broadheads to see if they fly through. I'm not going to waste my blades as they're not cheap either. So if you're expecting an extra practice broadhead don't count on it. It's not going to be in the package. Also I weighed them on my scale and they are light. They are not exactly 150 grains so if anybody else buys these broadheads put them on the scale. They're not 150. They're under probably two grains or so. I will buy again and I love these broadheads. Otherwise, due to the shortweight ingredients on the broadhead and I'm using a high quality digital scale. When I was using my other 150 grain broadheads and the field tips for practice they weighed exactly 150 grains and my arrows would come out to 428 grains. Now they only come out to 422 so a little difference. Make sure you practice

I bought the 201 for my crossbow with high hopes. I could not get them to screw in. I have many different types of broadheads both fixed and mechanical. They all interchange with my compound arrows or bolts with no issues. Waiting for a reply from Swhacker before i return them. Very disappointed.

These are accurate and do a great job. I made the switch from rage to these because of the simple design. I dont know why others are saying the package says comes with replacement blades. It says replacement bands which are in the package!

**Just a quick update. 5 successful outings with these broadheads! Best broadheads I've used so far. Just be sure to discard the pre-installed bands and replace them with fresh ones! **Original review...Overall, I really like these broadheads. Unfortunately for me, they came with a bit of a learning curve. I heard a lot of good things about swhacker and decided to try some of their "crossbow broadheads". Three reasonably priced broadheads with a practice head, perfect! I put them on my arrows and went out in the field. Took a shot at a nice 8 pt. I totally missed from about 25 yards. If you shoot a crossbow you'll know that, a total miss at 25 yards is nearly impossible. So now I'm hunting down the malfunction. A few shots onto my target and I see everything is still sighted in. So it's either me, or the new Swhackers. After spending some time on their FAQ page, here is what I discovered. The oil on the blades used to keep them clean reacts with the bands that holds the blades closed. Swhacker recommended discarding the pre installed band with a new one. I also learned that if you're using a high speed crossbow (400+fps), they recommend using two bands instead of one. WTF Swhacker? Don't you think this should be mentioned in the instructions in or on the packaging??So my most likely conclusion is that the blades opened in flight causing the miss. I checked the other broadhead that came with a pre installed band and the band snapped while I was examining it. In hindsight, it's a good thing I totally missed and didn't just injure that animal.So after my experience/research/learning curve, I've been using two bands to hold the blades closed. So far, so good. Now the broadheads fly like field points and I have 100% confidence in them. Two shots since fixing the problem and both right on the money.Please Swhacker, put a little note inside the package about the bands. It will save someone a lot of frustration. Your broadheads are awesome, shouldn't your instructions be as good?

I have been bow hunting for 25 years and have never used mechanical broad heads, partially because they were not around for the first 10 years I hunted....I'm old. The second reason was because of the horror stories I have heard over the years about the failures and deflection that can come with mechanical heads. I would spend at least a week each summer of intense shooting to get my fixed blade broad heads matched and tuned to a specific arrow so they would hit Exactly where my field points hit out to 40 yards.This year I was hunting western mule deer and needed to extend my effective shooting range to 60 yards. No matter how much I tuned my fixed blade heads I could not get them to group at 60yards. they would wind plane at ranges past 40 yds.I broke down and got the Swacker because of their claim of zero deflection and field point accuracy! I chose the 100gn x 1.75" inch model becauseI only shoot a 60 lb draw weight in hopes to decrease kinetic energy loss at impact. The heads come with one practice point so I immediately shot the practice head on each and every arrow I hunt with many times. it did not take long to convince me that the accuracy of these heads is excellent at any range. I will say that they will shoot even better if you take the time to tune them to an arrow.I did harvest a great mule deer on my hunt and this head performed flawlessly the shot was 46 yards and the confidence in knowing that your broad head will hit exactly where you want it to is worth so much in the field. The arrow did not pass through but had more than adequate penetration. I am a believer in the Swacker and will be using them for many years to come.
