Has anyone used the Gator broad head ? Any input on it's performance?

[1BUCDWN]

Everything i've read has been positive.On BPs website on 45 reviews it gets a 4.8.Hard to beat that.

If you use the "SEARCH" funtion, you will find tons of input.

Haven`t used one but it looks as if it would get the job done.

IMO, the best head on the market.. Exact POI as field tips out to 50 yards in my testing...
I have taken 2 nice bucks with them, and neither went over 45-50 yards max after the shot..
Blind man could follow the blood trail..

I love them. I shot a doe that was quartering toward me and got full penetration length wise. This was after hitting bone. My buddy heard the crack of the bone from his stand. She ran a short distance and piled up. Fletching was only thing holding arrow in her. Look like she had been run through with a sword.

I just got three packs to try. Last few years used Rage two blade and they have been excellent.I just dont like the o ring blade can be bumped or dislodged, but the holes are massive and the blood trails are easily seen.Nothing traveled over 50 yards.Anxious to see how the Gators match up to them.

Pretty impressive damage Old Longhair!! Deer season opens Oct 1 statewide in Pennsylvania hope to have the same results.

I just got some of these in.. I'm not all that impressed with the sharpness of the blades. I know they will still cut, but I'd expect the blades to be a little sharper. Nothing a small stone and some time can't fix though!

[Sherman7057]

Mine are dull as well...gonna stone mine.great price though

I don't shoot anything else. I started using them when they were made by rocky mnt and was so happy that BPS picked them up when rocky closed up shop. They are far superior to the rage. Im thinking about buying 10 packs in case they go out of production again.

Shot a doe with one this year quartering away cut a rib on the entrance and went right through the sholder on the exit wound.Massive damage took out both lungs and the artery off the top of the heart.Deer went about 30 yards and cartwheeled over into a tree.

I shot a big doe opening week of bow season this year with a Gator.



Another nice feature of this head, that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread, is that it makes a full width cut on entry.
That equates to having two BIG holes for 'em to leak out of.

[Gator1]

2 inch cut going in and 2.5 going outwith a 58 pound compound.  Can't wait to get my Parker Tornado and try the gators with that rig.  Friend of mine has a cyclone and hit a doe with the gator and it looked like an axe went through the deer.
