Description:
|
Appropriately named the HyperShock™ for its incredible take down power, this new mechanical broadhead has features and functions never before seen in the industry. This is great news for bowhunters - men or women - who shoot lower-poundage bow setups and have been frustrated with the standard broadheads and their lack of performance in the field. The HyperShock broadhead is for you. You can now - more than ever - confidently hunt and harvest wild game with lower poundage bows. As for the high power bowhunter, the results are nothing short of incredible!
In the reliability department, the HyperShock™ brings it to new levels. Aftershock refused to consider any design compromises due to cost. No amount of fancy marketing buzzwords are going to make great product. The HyperShock simply had to perform to specifications. The materials and processes utilized to manufacture this broadhead are state of the art. From the ultra-strong and light, fully machined billet Type 3S hard anodized 7075-T6 ferrule, to the proprietary curved edge .032” stainless blades that are hard, yet ductile to avoid breaking. The very special anodizing process yields a surface hardness of 65 R-C and is over 10 times thicker than regular anodizing. This special type 3S anodize also has much less of a coefficient of friction than its competition to aid its ability to pass through bone without grinding to a halt.
Reliability in function was of paramount importance too. The HyperShock™ has three methods of blade deployment that work independently and in concert with each other to ensure the blades open in the game and not before. Even the center of gravity of the blades was designed to keep them shut when launched from a bow and aid in deployment after penetration. Although costly to manufacture, the HyperShock™ employs curved blades rather than straight. The engineers of the broadhead could not ignore the great benefit of having the cutting edge angle more acute the farther away from the ferrule it is. The blades are huge, so they needed to conserve precious kinetic energy when open. This also required that the blades needed to be curved to slice through tissue rather than to try and chop it. The HyperShock’s ability to conserve energy now allows for lower poundage bows to be used on game that was not suitable to hunt before. The same feature allows bigger game to be harvested with average or higher power bows.

Pros:
|
Excellent penetration and blood trail
|
|
Cons:
|
o-ring design, only 2 bladed and whistling sound when shot
|
|
First time using them yeilded excellent results. Treestand shot, 15 yard quartering toward pass through. One lung and the liver. Excellent blood trail. The deer only went 30 or so yards before expiring. Nice product. Worth a look.
The only reason I decided to try them was the Woods & Waters Weekend price I paid. I probably wouldn\'t pay the normal retail price, $37.99 at Bass Pro. Over $12 a broadhead is a bit much.

I have shot just about every mechianical broadhead on the market today and nothing compares to the Hypershock 125 from AfterShock Archery. It has NEVER disappointed me in the 3 years of using them.
And their made here in Michigan... Walled Lake, MI
