Razor Caps / Broadhead for Elk

[Knight]

Has anyone tried Razor Cap broadheads? Have you noticed a change between the old style razor caps and the NAP ones since they were bought by NAP? Any overall positives or negatives?

I am looking at using them for elk next year and want a fixed broadhead that is strong and penetrates well. I have already ruled out Thunderheads. Any info you have would be great. Thanks!

How many blades? 2? 3? 4?

It's a three blade...It's a modern update to the woodsman. 3:1 length to width ratio made of very durable steel.

I'm really looking at them hard for elk next september as well. Them, the new snuffers, and the montecs. The montecs are proven, but I will purchase a pack of the others to test their acuracy.

Sorry for my lack of coffee, but I know how many blades the Razorcap has...I was asking Knight if he was looking for 2 blade, 3 blade, or 4 blade BH's.

I am looking for three blade. I currently use titanium gators(2 blade) which work awesome on deer by the way.

However, I want a cut on contact three blade for the elk.

I don't want a serrated blade either. I want to be able to sharpen the blades.

I don't know if a 4 blade would have too much surface area that it may impede penetration. Plus I just have not seen too many that I have been impressed with.

Gvdocholiday, have you bought the razorcaps yet? I bought a pack yesterday and I am gonna try them out on the yellowjacket target this weekend.

My brother tried Razorcaps this year. They appear to be a well built head, but they definitely did not fly the same or group as well as his field points. Impact point and consistency were not the same. That being said, it could have partly been his inserts. He is shooting Vapor Blackhawks and some of the inserts were either installed poorly or were not manufactured straight.

He shot two deer with Razorcaps. Both were pass throughs and the head was usable (after sharpening) after each shot.

He tried my Montecs and they grouped much better.....

Why not use the TNT's on elk as well? Those broadheads were designed for Moose...Elk is a puppy compared to moose! I'm currently using the TNT titanium gators myself. Great head. The concave cut to tip point on the TNT is much better than a blade to tip...that's the design flaw of say the xp gator or the snypers. You're milling away material, which makes it easier to bend at the most crucial part of the head.

I agree with you on the titanium gators, I think they would be perfect. They should do the job on an elk with no problem.

The only problem I have is that the place where I am going has had numerous problems with people using expandables. They have "outlawed" them at their ranch.

I used a titanium gator on a huge (in my terms) 7 point last weekend. I had an awesome exit and entry hole, great blood. Never found the arrow or broadhead back( grrrrrrrrr, there goes aprroxiamtely $35 including the arrow, broadhead, and fletching). Found the deer after about 100yds, but no arrow.
