Broadhead tests by 5shot

[tommy-n]

Does anyone know what score they give the 100 grain hypershock, I can not seem to find it anywhere. I am currently using the shockwaves and rocky mountain snypers and have killed deer with both of them.

I give them a zero. I tried one on a doe last year, and never found her :( . She was qurtering a little, but when the arrow hit it pivited along her side, instead of penitrating. I never found the arrow, either but I am sure I didn't get any penitration. I swithched back to thunderheads, and killed two 8 eights that total went 60 yards. My opinion is stay away from mechanicas, but especially hypershocks.

Test after test show that snypers are extremely accurate and get superior penetration. I would not hesitate to use them. I primarly hunt with rockets: the steelhead (another great penetrating head) and the sidewinders.

This site put a score on a whole list of broadheads. My personal preference is the 100 grain Thunderheads. I have been using them the last 15 years and have killed many deer with them.

sounds like your bad shot placmnet to me, not bad broadhead

I have shot and killed several with the aftershock heads found them to kill quite well there are pics in my gallery of a doe kill with he 80 grain inside and out showing the damage..........

I,ve used tekan2 and loved them any board head that cams back uses less engery ,I shot a doe that was around 165pds she was about 32 yrds my arrow hit hit both shoulders went throught went about 20 yards.
One of my comusters used the hyra shocks and loved them:dizzy:

[Shoot'em up81]

I don't want to get into an agruing match, but I put that arrow right on the money. It was a twenty yard shot, and I was shooting about 265 fps. She was quarting slightly, but with my thunderhead I would have taken her down in under 100 yards. If it was a perfectly broadside shot everything probally would have been fine.

As for your picture, I have seen pictures, thats what made me buy them.

Don't speculate on what happened, I was there and witnessed it!

your hunt not mine..........

not a big fan of hypershocks either, have a friend that got 7 inches of penetration on a doe last year at fifteen yards, not a bone touched

I didn't check out the links that other posters put in, but I have corresponded with '5Shot' ..Chris Fitch of Virginia .....his site is now a subscription site where you pay $10 (I think) to access his tests on an assortment of products in addition to his famous broadhead tests.

I think you could google up '5Shot' and find him in a hurry. He does a great job, I am a fan. Wouldn't dream of switching heads without first consulting 5Shot.

Thanks guys, I really like the snyper head and the clean cutting damage it does but don't care for the tip on it. I have had a couple of them bend all the way down into main frame part of the body, not impressed with that part. I have killed 6 or 7 with the shockwaves and have not bent one yet, just replaced the blades after every deer. I was looking for a score number on the hypershocks 100 grains like 5 shot rated rated snyper and shockwave, just can't seem to find it. The more I think about it, it's just that guys opinion and testing anyway. Last year I shot a 8 point that was in my mock scrape, he took about 5 steps and I watched him die right there:yikes: Replaced the blades on the shockwave and killed a 6 point with the same head in the same stand a week later, he never made it to the mock scrape:D my freind uses a cross bow and he will be using the 125 grain aftershocks this year, so I guess I just wait and see what damage it does for myself.
