Expandable broadheads

[harvey lee]

I have shot NAP Splitfire broadheads and liked them very much.The problem I ran into with these heads was once they were shot dirt would get into the slots where the blade would go back.I would have to let them sit in a tub of water to soak the dirt out.Is there a expandable that someone has used where the blades go back nice without alot of cleaning?

I think that's just the nature of the beast with expandables. I use Rocket Hammerheads for turkeys and have to clean out the blade slots after shooting them into foam targets. My deer heads are G5 Montecs so I don't have the groove cleaning issue with them. Great flight, even at 285 fps.

Thats the only problem with expandables that I have found..I wish they could find a way to make one without having to do all the extra cleaning of the blade slots.I thought someone may have developed a new one.

I shoot the Steelhead rockets in 100 grains. Never had any problems. Bear to deer.

I have shot Muzzies for years with NO problems except for when I tried the NAP expandables.I will have to try the broadheads.

Yup, I have heard this a lot (because of pass through...not missing ). Have you tried blowing them out with an air compressor? I have heard that is the only thing that really works. Good luck!

I've been using the Wasp Jakhammer for 5 years now. Once I shoot a broadhead it's done so I guess I don't have that problem.

I've had very good luck with my fixed blade Thunderheads and they're in that same price range, six for $35. What I like is that you can then buy replacement blades for them. My rule is that once a broadhead gets shot into the ground (or a deer), I put new blades in. I want as sharp a blade as possible.

eyeguy, ive also been looking at the jackhammers, i read on a review of them that they have a 2nd o-ring slot closer to the tip of the broadhead where they suggested tieing it off with spyderwire fishing line or small copper wire that way u can use them for target practice and the blades wont open, then supposedly there still sharp when ur ready to hunt, have u ever heard of or tried this? if so hows it work?
