I have been following the development of this broadhead over on Archery Talk for a while now and it looks like it will be available around the ATA show in 2012. Randy Ulmer's brother Rusty has designed this head. It is a rear deploying 2 blade head like the Rage but has a trocar tip and is very low profile. Also, the broadheads come with set screws where you can lock the blades and practice with the head you will be hunting with. Another nice feature is there are sharp edges on both sides of the blade, so if the arrow backs out the blade will be cutting on the back side. It looks very solid and I like that you can practice with the same head you hunt with. Also it virtually the same profile as a practice tip so it should fly great.

Hmmm. I've never been a fan of mechanical heads, but I might consider giving these a try. After a bunch of reviews, of course.
 
This solves most of the issues I have with rage. Still think it would be a benefit to have no o'ring. I like the design much better than rage and hope it creates tons of competition.

Of course they would.
 
These look interesting, if I was going to use a mechanical this would probably be my choice. I don't see the Slick Tricks causing me to change anytime soon though.

Howdy, long time lurker, seldom poster.

I recently bought the Redhead brand Gator mechanical broadheads. I have always shot Muzzies but wanted to switch it up a bit. There is no O-ring on the Gators and they seem to be comparible to the Rage broadheads.

Has anyone had any experience with the Gator broadheads?
 
Just another design that helps seperate archers from the money in their wallet, and fixed broadheads have no moving parts and have been used for thousands of years with millions of kills--if its not broken, then its not worth fixing!
 
I have both fixed blade broadheads and mechanicals in my quiver . Both shoot the same out of my setups , yet have different purposes based on my preferencs .
I think these broadheads look like a viable design that is similar to the Rocky Mtn. Gators as stated earlier .
 
I agree with Radar. If u like mechs this one seems like a good design. I saw the prototype on archery talk. It had a blade tip like the old synpers. Randy ulmer had a rage come open with him at a tournament that cost him. I guess they solved that problem. I bet it will be a hit
 
The best mechanical head out in my opinion is the swhacker 2" cut! Does same damage as rage but is a much more durable head!!

Yes I have and still have a sharp one ready to use. Put a hole a little larger than a golf ball in a hog once. Wicked good results.
