Has anyone used these? They look like a pretty good head for the money and they're suppose to fly like a field point which would be great and save a lot of time having to re-tune my bow to shoot a fixed blade. Just wonder if anyone has any experience with em' and how they like em'. I'd be getting the 85gr.
 
They fly pretty well, but they aren't sturdy enough in my opinion. The tips are exposed and easy to curl. There are much better choices out there. Most broadheads will fly like a field point if your bow is tuned properly.
 
Do you think they'd be good enough for Coyotes and stuff like that? I'll probably use Grim Reaper 85grs for Deer this fall but I'd like to pick up something cheap to play around with over the summer. Needs to be 85gr though.

Not trying to be smart, but why would you want to buy new heads instead of spending a little time tuning and get your bow right? You have a ton of time to do it before season. There are more advantages to having you bow in tune than having your broadheads and field points hit the same spot.
 
I really don't have any broadheads so that's why I need to get something and if they'll fly and hit the same as my field points that'd be a huge plus.
 
A fixed blade broadhead won't fly the same as your field points if your bow isn't in tune. Period.

Those heads would do the trick on coyotes but I wouldn't want to try them on deer. That's just my opinion.
 
My bow has been tuned for field points so these should fly ok. Also, from the reviews I've read they went thru the plywood, metal drum and the tire and didn't come apart and got a pretty good rating. I'll just have to sell something to come up with the money to pick up a set then I can give em' a try.
 
Another question, again not trying to be smart, How was your bow tuned for field points? That is a new one on me unless you are meaning you walk back or paper tuned or something using field points.
 
I did an initial set-up of the D Loop and rest to get things squared then I did a walk back tune to adjust the rest left to right to get the field points hitting properly. I really still need to do a paper tune but for now, shooting instinctive, the bow is hitting pretty good and the arrows seem to be flying well so I'm not going to bother with it just yet.
 
I've killed 2 does with the 100 gr. sonic pro heads. They do have a real tendency to curl at the tips from hard impact with bone, etc. I got a pass-thru on both does. They did a good job, but the blades will probably need to be replaced after you shoot them thru an animal. I shoot slick trick 85's now and I have to replace those blades also, but they get good reviews. It seems that most heads require blade replacement now days unless you get montec's or the like. If they fly good out of your bow I wouldn't be afraid to use them.
 
I"m also thinking about the Magnus Stingers but the Sonics are a lot cheaper so if I mess one up shooting at a coyote I'd be less apt to beat myself up over it. LOL. Of course, Magnus does have a lifetime warranty so I could always send it in and get a new one. I just want to get something so I can call in and kill some of these coyotes we have around here.
