I bought some the other day to try. When I started shooting them I noticed that they Leak forward (left) about 5 inches at 20 yards. Has anyone used these before? I would like the good and the bad or any tips on how to correct this. I will not be able to hunt until 10/30 so i have time to Make a new purchase if needed.
Thanks In Advance.

When Razorbacks first came out they were on a fixed cartridge. They spun but needed some work to make the plastic die spin freely from the burs in the die when manufactured. I used to use the 5-blade type and they preformed great. They were 142 grain fixed blades. The new ones that Nap has come out with I never tried because I read such bad reviews. I have attached a couple links to a person that tests broad heads. He is pretty well known so I believe his test is reliable. In my own opinion I would chalk the new razorbacks up as a learning experience.

I also shot the 142gr.Razorback 5's and have experienced no problems with them.They are a heavy broad head and if you are shooting arrows that are not stiff enough or shooting very low poundage,you could have problems.I shoot 70lbs,2319-xx75's and 35" arrows(long draw)............

Try group tuning them to shoot with your fieldpoints . See the link below from NAP ,the manufacturer of the razorbaks.

Thanks For all the tips. I looked at it last night and moved my Center shot 1/8 of an Inch. This seems to have corrected my problem. Now my field points and Broadheads are Hitting the same marks. Must have been that the Broadheads exaggerated the small mis-alignment. Thanks again for the tips and suggestions and I hope there are many in the freezer this morning. :piparty:
