Got me sold at the carnage pics, man!!!! But steller review also!!! Thanks 
TruGlo Titanium 4-blade
4
For over a year, I had been reading glowing reports about this broadhead. TruGlo?? Seemed to me like a new Yugo had come out and was getting glowing reports. I’ve just not been impressed with TruGlo in the past.
I want a low inflight aerodynamic signature for any broadhead I shoot. Additionally, I prefer to not need bands and for launch forces to help keep it closed. Silent in flight, cut a big hole, tough blades, identical practice points or being able to use the actual broadhead for practice, affordable, ability to reuse would be just gravy - these I want. Vaguru , whom I greatly respect, told me that he was using these and intended to continue.
I ordered just 3. 2 deer down with just one of these BHs , and appx 50 shots into an 18-1. The entrance holes were large, exits were larger.
I’m down to just one arrow for all 3 xbows, one broadhead for all hunting (bear and deer). Still use Chinaderms for varmints. Essentially one crossbow for all hunting - either of my two SWATs.
The last deer was a large, beautiful 8-pt. He went down in 80 yards with a huge bloodtrail.
This is a broadhead to consider.

Nice review Steve.
Mine all spin well. I've been surprised by the number of times they can be shot (into an 18-1) and the blades are still sharp and straight. They certainly have more exposed blade in flight than many mechanical heads. Very nice that they can't predeploy, and I never had much of an issue with them "bumping open." I was also surprised that the buck I shot (hard quartering away) had 3 sliced ribs going in, two going out, plus a 1" slice to the back of the shoulder blade. The pivoting around bone idea is not something I saw when I assessed the damage, though I didn't take excellent pics like yours. I still have 5 of these heads left and may use them out of my hybrid recurve. I was just so impressed with the way Ramcats just devastated the two deer this year that I'm leaning in that direction. Lots of great broadhead choices for sure, and I will always remain a small sample size data collector.

Ramcats … dropped a couple dozen deer like a poleaxe for me. Until I had on two separate occasions the shorty version break off at the insert and never hit the deer! Swore off them at that point. Trust is hard to regain once you've lost it.
The Spitfires made in China have turned me off. Last bunch I rebuilt had the retainers not fitting right and sticking out of the ferrule. Had to track two of the last nine deer I killed after not tracking two deer in the last 8 years or so. Dropping them.
My 3" NAP-FOC experiment is coming to an end. Big as they are, a broadhead only cutting in one plane scares me a bit. I've been concerned that considering some of the angles I kill deer at, it could slice through a beast in a way that might miss cutting vital stuff because it's only cutting flat instead flat plus up/down. Plus in somewhere between 18 and 2 dozen kills I haven't seen any reduction in death runs.
My Slick Trick Standards and Magnums are reputed to get squirrelly above 400fps or so. Don't use them anymore other than for a close setup, varmint, or in case a coup-de-grace shot might be required.
I'm not in love with replacing piles of dental bands every season on all my FOCs and Spitfires.
Rage are just a media hyped less reliable and smaller version of the FOC. Ten different color "shock collars" to screw up your life? Really???...lol
I never woulda expected anything TruGlo to get TruGlo-ing reviews, but this broadhead does. There's been a good word here and a good word there that kind of stick in your mind. Probably because it's incongruous to see good words being attached to something TruGlo. If SEW and Vaguru, who are the persnickety's of equipment research, have moved to this head, that's testimonial enough for me to move to them.
Now let's see how long it takes TruGlo to #@%& up a good broadhead ...lol

Dat … Yankee American or Rebel American accent?
If it's Johnny reb … fohgettaboutit. 
All the … silver tongued seductionists ...lol They'll have you besotted with stuff you never knew you needed.Why do I feel the urge to go out and buy something after reading your posts? I need to stay off this site,I'm going broke!
My Titanium's just showed up in the mail.
LOL,I was just looking at them myself and saved to my Fav's! Probably be adding them to cart soon....All the … silver tongued seductionists ...lol They'll have you besotted with stuff you never knew you needed.

Blew through both bucks like they was a sack of air. One was 40 yds the other was close to 50 yds both shot from the ground from a blind. The first buck i watched go down the 2nd ran all 40 yds stood there a few sec then walked out of sight and dies in maybe 15 20 yds.
Heres a entrance on the 2nd buck. I still have all of my Truglo, FOC and 3" cut swhackers just incase. The new ones let me down
.
As you can see full deployment going in. If one blade hits bone there supposed to close up. But i don't think they do at crossbow speeds. Your not going to miss ribs with a hybrid lol. They do have more drag and hit lower. You can also buy the 2" 2 blade replacement blades and just replace the rear blades with those. Kinda giving you a 4 blade rage kinda
