I use the 125 grain practice tips. They look just like the "real broadhead" which is Grim Reaper RazorTip x bow version.

As for flight. I use gold tip field tips and grim reaper practice tips on my .001 Black Eagle Executioners 20". I practice out to 50 yards using both the Grim Reaper field tip and gold tip field tips and I haven't noticed any difference in flight. My bullseyes are the size of a quarter, and can sink arrows into any bullseye on the target.

As for the real broadheads, I've paper tested them and got flawless results. And sacrificed a couple on the target and hit same spots as practice tips and field tips.

A lot of companies claim their broadheads are field tip accurate. I've never found this to be true with any other broadheads except grim reaper.

They truly are a great breadhead. One by one my hunting buddies and family have also been switching over to grim reapers because of the results I got on the target and field. And then I hear their stories of being totally amazed.

I've been shooting grim reaper for a few years, and I've never regretted using them. I once swore I'd never have a mechanical on any of my arrows. Now it's all I use... as long as it's grim reaper.

Hope this helps.

WARNING: Do not shoot Grim Reapers if you afraid of the sight of blood.

I shoot the 125 grain razortips and have had great success. great bloodtrail and have never had to trail more than 35 yards. Had two doe drop in their tracks. I would recommend thse to anyone. Shot from a Mission 320 and 360 using BEE arrows from Jerry. You won't go wrong with this setup.

I stopped by an outfitter supply store today on the way home from Columbus. As luck would have it they were going out of business and everything was on sale. I was able to pick up a package of 100 grain Grim Reaper Razortips for $25. This is what I used successfully last season on a decent 8 point. They fly great from my Tenpoint Venom.

Great deal Ed! Good for you. They currently are my preferred broadhead. They fly well out of the Storm and Sniper.

They had a two Storms for sale 30% off . Had me thinking for a bit.

 

[TX_RDXguy]

Wow! I'll bet. A Strom in the $700 range is quite the buy. Still a good bit of money but a nice buy. You might tip off the guys watching the Horton and TenPoint sections about that deal.

First off, I want to say that I have two daughters 10/12 and I had a father that unfortunately just past before last season and the time crunch limited range time but yet I was primarily responsible for making sure all of these guys were set and ready to go for the season. I personally was sick and tired of having practice points hit one place and broadheads hit another given my time to get things ready. Last year I tested everything out and they have the same POI from field points-practice head-hunting head. I keep wanting to make sure even now but I can see everyone else here has had similiar results,

I do hunt though from a ground blind and more often then not, I am no longer the shooter and my oldest (12) seems to kill the deer for me. I'm not complaining but rather proud to say so. The thing is, we have not had the big blood trails yet and have not found much blood but in two hits, she has killed both deer. One ran around 80 yards and the other around 120-150. Part of it may need to be better shot placement but the other side of it is that we don't get the low exit hole you would get from a tree stand so blood loss tended to pool in the cavity.

I don't want to hijack this thread but I do what to ask a couple questions about the heads on another thread after this one has run it's course.

Shooting from a ground blind "typically" leaves a small blood trail due to its level trajectory compared to that of the downward angle from a treestand. I took two deer last year one from a Groundblinds and one from a tree stands. Had no problem what so ever tracking the deer shot from the treestand with the massive blood trail, plus didn't go very far. The arrow shot from a tree stand will normally exit on the lower part of the deer causing blood to drain better. The deer I shot from my ground blind had me virtually on my hands and knees looking for blood. I shot it during the even and due to the lack of a lot of blood I backed out and waited about 6 hours before heading out to go find the deer. Well, in short I was almost to it when I stopped tracking as the deer went around 90 yards and piled up. During the field dressing, the autopsy revealed the Grim Reaper did its job very well.

Geez, I apologize for the terrible grammar and spelling on this last post of mine. I'm not great at multitasking as my daughter called while writing. Gads, embarrassed.... Ed

Sounds good to me! The Mod's will not give us a time outs for spelling or grammar! Now if my 5th grade Nun was a Mod there would be LOTS of time outs & banning's!!! Take care...

It doesn't get any better than Grim Reaper Broadheads. There was a time when I swore I'd never put a mechanical on any of my arrows. But when I got a high speed crossbow shooting at 406 fps, well I just couldn't get any fixed blade to group. So I began a lengthy and in-depth search of what mechanical to buy. I read review's, watched videos, scoured magazine adds, and called broadhead manufactures to ask how they tested their product, at what fps, what they shot, angle, consistency, etc... and to ask if they'd refund my purchase if their product didn't perform exactly as advertised.
My phone conversations with Grim Reaper technical support and customer service was rather impressive. So I decided to see if their product could live up to or surpass my extremely high expectations.
I'm very picky about my hunting equipment. I'm not just a man who shoots deer. I'm a avid outdoorsman who highly respects the outdoors and the game I hunt. Accuracy, consistency, dependability, and reliability, are all "a must" for me. When I take aim I don't want any doubts about how my equipment will perform. I want to hit the exact spot I'm aiming for, otherwise the product has failed one of my expectations. I like to put a "quick clean kill shot" on game I hunt, and expect the same accuracy on the range.
So now that you know a little more about how hard it is to impress me... well I was impressed with Grim Reapers XBow RazorTip 125 grain. But that was just on the target... I had yet to give the Grim Reaper a final test!!! Once again I was impressed with the damage the broadhead did to the deer. So impressed that I equipped all my crossbows with Grim Reaper Xbow RazorRip 125 grain.
I have since taken many more game animals using only the Grim Reapers. As I stated earlier "I'm a hard guy to impress", and I also swore I'd never have mechanicals on my arrows. Yet now all I own are the mechanical Grim Reapers. All my Muzzy, SlickTrick, and Razorback 5 broadheads have been retired.
In the years since I've began using the Grim Reaper I've changed a few things. I got rid of my high speed xbows and decided I didn't want anything over 350 fps. Anything higher was overkill and too much money was being spent on targets and more arrows due to lost arrows blowing through targets. So now I own 5 crossbows ranging from 300 fps to 340 fps... and I kill deer with each of them. Matter of fact last year I downed a big bodied 8 point buck with only 300 fps at 35 yards. Dropped less than 30 yards away with a heart/lung shot.
So even though I've made a few changes, one thing has stayed the same... you can count on Grim Reapers being on my arrows when you see me in my blinds or treestands.

What do the entrance wounds look like?

What do the entrance wounds look like?

The entry wound was small, but the exit wound was pretty dar darn good. Here is a picture of the buck I took with the Grim Reaper this past season, you can see the small entry wound on the shoulder. I'll be the first to admit the shot placement was awful, a lot of bone here, but the arrow went clean through and the buck died quickly. One of the three blades broke off due to the shoulder bone, but the Grim Reaper was tough and did the job.

Grim Reapers work fine for me.

I just read the September issue of Peterson's Bowhunting magazine which tested this year's new mechanical broadheads. Interesting results and I was quite surprised. Grim Reapers didn't even break the top 5 spots! Interloc Shapeshifter did the best in all tests! I can't recall ever seeing a commercial or reading an article about them! But according to their tests, all the new broadheads are good choices with Interloc being the best.

I usually don't follow these "national" rags reviews. I know that their top rated bows always makes me wonder where they get their info. My guess is it's advertising dollars. I put much more stock in fellow members on forums like this stating their personal experiences. The reviews are earned not paid for. JMHO

Nope, never heard of the Shapeshifters before.

The EXO-covers are an interesting idea, but you have to wonder, if these heads don't take off, how long will the covers be available? Was there any mention of how well they worked (or if they worked properly) without the cover?

I concur with Tim, cant help thinking money speaks with these reviews. The best reviews out there come from the members of this forum.

Well that's your choice and opinion. The test was conducted fairly and without sponsor influence. The test was done in a controlled environment without human interference and mechanical mistakes. Other hunters views are just their opinions based on their own experience and capabilities. That in itself will vary from hunter to hunter.
