Does anyone shoot em?? Im thinking of giving them a try. On you tube under Hank Parker swhacker watch the part two video. It is on angled shots

with mechanical broadheads. Pretty interesting. I am a long time muzzy 4 blade shooter never had luck with mechanical broadheads including the rage, I lost a dandy buck this year with a rage, not that it was completely the broadheads fault but it helps me sleep at night. Just wondering

Fire,

I switched to Swhackers this year for the whitetail season and so far I'm pretty impressed. As far the entry vs exit they are no different then any other mechanical head. They should cut on the way in as they will open upon contact and slice on the way in just like a Rage (I know, lots of guys hate them!).

I haven't shot anything yet but I can assure you that they open on the way in on my Glen Del buck as both sides of the target are cut up and it was brand new this fall. With the foam you can see the length of the cut on both sides when the target is new so can I assure you that they will open. Is there a chance for not, sure, just like any other mechanical.

I will report something if I ever get an adult deer close enough! Terrible season for me. If they interest you buy a pack and decide for yourself, god knows we have all purchased our fair share of things we don't use.

As an engineer, I look at products like Swhacker and try to evaluate it from the science point of view. What I like about the design is the penetration. The blades are tucked in and rear deploy. That means nothing opens until well into the animal. If there were a criticisim, the entry hole may be small so you might not get as big of a blood trail unless you happen to get a complete pass through. I've looked at their videos and concurr that Swhacker is a very good product. That being said, I was started off with Rage broadheads and have not switched. I can't vouch from personal experience, but everything I see about them tells me they are a good broadhead.

They seem to work on high fence deer for High Fence Hank...whistle

My opinion is that Swhacker broadheads look like a terrible design. I say look like, because I have not even been tempted to look closely at them in stores, etc. I think there are a lot of good broadheads out there that I'd consider way before these. I like FBB, but there are better mechanical designs (again, IMO) if you prefer that route.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
