Have used both fixed and mechanical out of compounds for years, with the recent shoulder injury going to spend more time on the ground , and at ground level believe the more blood on the ground the better

looking at the 1.75 Schwacker CB head , anyone use with good results and any cons to be aware of

Thanks

The only ones I used were the 150 gr, 3" cut. It was devestating. The thing you must understand is that the entry hole will be very small since they deploy once inside the animal. I would use the largest cut in your weight because of that.

The first year I used them I seen blood trails like you was pouring it out of buckets. Cats Meow!!! Not the same the second year.....thin blood trails, hard to find. Just the luck of the draw I guess as all were good hits IMO. Always had pass thrus. Ive moved on but wouldnt be scared to use 'em again. Good luck.

The doe I shot Tuesday was with a Blackhawk 360 shooting about 345-350ish fps and a Swhacker 1.75 at just under 20 yds. The first thing the broadhead hit going in was a rib bone. It blew through and buried in a tree 10 yds behind her. There wasn’t buckets of blood, I only got one lung, but it was an easy blood trail. She ran maybe 75 yds. You can put me down in the satisfied column.
I’ve got some 2” cuts I bought from another member. I plan to try them out with my Invader after I manage to satisfy the Blackhawk’s blood lust a little more. 😁

Robert, I thought they were good hits with the angles I had (tree stand) but after impact I dont know which way the arrows turned and what they cut. I didnt gut the deer to see...I never do. I had the deer and that is what mattered to me. About 75 yards is the fartherest I had one to run that was "swhacked".Ha!:)

Sorry to jump in but I have a question.

I've dialed in my scope with field points and have no problem getting tight groups and hitting my spot. This aft I put on the practice broadhead that came with my Shwacker kit and was missing a little low on all my shots. Does this mean I have to re zero my scope with the broads?

Thanks

My advice is to sight in with the broadheads one plans to shoot.
One owes it to the animal for a quick, clean kill.
Some practice heads for what ever reason do not hit where the
actual hunting broad heads do.

Wishing you all the best.
Take care.

Yes. They make at least 3 heads that have screws for locking the blades down. In 125 gn and 100gn. I've used electrical tape for years with Swhackers. It works well. With that being said, for a few bucks more the locking blade versions are really nice with the same great performance. These are the Levi Morgan series 100gn 2" cut.

I shot the levi morgan 2 1/2" head and it flew amazing off my fast bow.

The practice head is a perfect match for the actual broad head so that flew the same too.

Definitely a head to look into. I would say in my top 3...... did not try them on s deer yet.

perfect flight is everything followed then by cutting diamaeter.
