Not sure if anyone cares but those Havoc broadheads seem to only rotate for the first little bit, maybe an. 5 to 1inch? Then go straight into the target.

Single to double bevel? Seems like a stupid design.

Lusk got 30deg rotation at 12" in his test scenario.

Time will tell, lol. Younger guys from my home state, probably only 75 miles or so from me and I wanted to help them out a little.

And my other posts are just general feedback if any one is considering them. I'm sharpening one now, seems to be very easy and I'm embarrassingly bad at sharpening stuff. Using a stay sharp type C. And I'm pretty sure this sand paper is the variety pack he sells too

I'd buy that. It's not a lot, but it did rotate a little.

Hey, I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my barrage of posts over the weekend but no problem trying to get those answers about the Arsenal stuff. Happy to help when I can

Well, bear in mind Lusk recorded only 10deg at 10" from the Grizzlystick Samurai.

Sure some do better in his testing, but seems respectable.

Kind of curious, do these beveled broadheads fly better than say an Anihilator or Montec?

I've got some montecs. Haven't tried the anihilator. Do you have any kind of test in mind? The one I dinged I just screwed on an arrow with zingers I'd never shot and hit where I was aiming at 20yds. I've have been shooting those arrows, I tried a few heads in the spring and they all flew good for me, I'm confident my bow and I are on the same page. Shot the repaired one and another new one at 31 tonight and they were grouping very well

“New” system from NY Saddle Hunter.


That’s pretty slick. I’ve always wanted to try the SRT thing but the throwing paracord loops up thing makes a hard stop for me. What do you guys think of this system?

Been doing this for a few years. Either throwball or one stick to get it set.

It's useful if you know what tree(s) you plan to be in. Less work than one sticking each climb.

SRT with a little knowledge and practice is the safest way to get up a tree. Arborist use some form of rope climbing everyday. All of my properties have presets ready to climb. After scouting we have a pretty good idea of what trees we are going to get in. The other trees that are not good for SRT presets are climbed with sticks. If I'm going in blind, like I haven't physically seen the area, I'm bringing a one stick.
