Toxic here, these look wicked...

http://www.nativeoutdoors.com/toxic...=CPTK8b3Dx7kCFahDMgodtFkAoA#.UjKTTT-Jr6M

The Toxic head is just out of the box of "normal" technology that I have to give them a try-out.

Lots of good heads out there and about as many reasons for picking one.

For each of us it is accuracy first always but penetration/blood trail/head strength etc all can have different priorities to each of us.

While a good blood trail has MORE (IMHO) to do with arrow placement than what head is used, the Toxic appears that it should/may/might/will create a type of wound channel that would be all but impossible to "plug" completely compared to a slice.

NOT saying that a slice cut wont WORK, they obviously do. A simple two blade Zwickey, well sharpened, will drop anything more than adequately and penetration is unbeatable yet perhaps it's just the "I want to see for myself" attitude I have that just wont let me NOT give these a trial run.

I'd face anything on this rock with several heads I have shot but I just want to try these out.

There is ALWAYS room for "just one more head" on my list of such.
The old man in me creates a bit of "oh man.....I don't know" thinking about these heads but, I wont Knock em.....till I nock em.

Hunt safe gang!

Is that a mechanical head?

Put one of those through a cow elk with my old Proline Point Blank bow back in the mid 90's.

No sir... Standard fixed 3-blade. They are sweet though, my Old Man has killed probably 5-6 elk with them and they've done great.

magnus buzzcut 100 4 blade is what I hope to run through a deer tomorrow morning.

10-4, Thanks Tanner.

Slick Tricks, 85gr. Light carbon arrow, works like a charm.

Never tried the ST's, may give the Grizz Tricks a go someday.

Gunner

Looks nasty. Kind of reminds me of the old Browning Serpentine heads from the early '90's. Hopefully those work better, the Brownings didn't do to well from what I recall. This is what they look like.

I'm going to have trusty ole ST 125s in the quiver, but picked up some Scwhacker 125s this week to give a run for the heck of it.

One of my hunting partners has killed several hogs with those this year and their performance was very impressive.

100gr NAP Thunderheads.

The Grave Digger will be tested this year. Best of both worlds. COC and the massive wound channel of a mech head

As for the "Toxic", Id have to test it on something I really didnt care about like a yote or a pig before Id try it on big game

Couple of guys I know used the toxic this year. They said it worked well but all the blood trails were weak. Marginal shots could be a problem ...in their opinions. Others I know have been using Dead Ringer Hunting Rampage with excellent results. I used their Trauma in am xbow with awesome results on deer , turkey & black bear.

Thanks for the info. They seem to get good reviews. My first go with a really large CD expandable, hopefully they'll work fine on whitetails.

I'm going with the 100gr swackers. They have some video footage of their performance on swackers website.

I have a pack of SS Simmons heads from 10 years or so ago.

They look hell for stout. I'll have to post a pic, as I haven't ever seen them before.

See if I can swat a swamp buck here by the house

100 gr ST out of a Excaliber equinox sure put the smack down on my sons first buck


Of course this is a sample of one.........
