Toxic Broad heads

We used them on a hog hunt and I had trouble with penetration and the fat from the hogs sealed up the holes. I switched and shot a couple with a rage 2 blade and " they bled like a stuck pig"

Would work good on deer but would be hesitant on anything thick skinned or with alot of fat or hair like a bear or a moose.

Think I would ...
Figure out if there were spine or form issues with target heads first.
Paper tune, bearshaft check, walk back tune, group.
Shoot for a while.

Then I would try broadheads.

Just helps cut the varibles down before you get to BHs.

One arrow will hit dead center then one low right the one on for elevation but right for line. I switched to my field tips and all three arrows were touching in the grouping. Might try out 2 blade rage.

I have experience with both. I wouldn't use toxics past 25 metres - as you say, they just don't group well. You can't go wrong with the 2 blade rages ... desvasting. Both have excellent blood trails.

I've shot 2 bears with toxic and 1 doe. Penetration was poor (1/3 to 1/2 the arrow on a nice boar and the doe (hit high from a treestand). The doe went 20 15 metres, the bear went 150 (both with excellent blood trails). The smaller bear I shot was a pass through and went 10 metres before rolling over .... blood everywere. In the end, 3 dead animals with the toxic broad heads.

I've hever been dissapointed with any shot with a rage 2 blade.

We sold a pile of toxic heads last year, by far the most negative response to a broadhead I have ever had, poor bloodtrails was the most often comment. They really drain the milk jugs in their ad but I wont carry their head this year.
When I mentioned this to them they suggested my customers were poor shots.

toxic broadheads are junk I bought a set last year before the season couldnt sight in worth a crap bought some G5 montecs and they shot great but bad penatration and little to no blood trail it was a good thing the only deer i shot with them was in the snow so fairly easy to track just bought some new ramcats and they shoot great and I have heard nothing but good reviews on the penatration and blood trail just waiting for the right bear to pop out so i can see how they work.

Yup I think they are going tyo be like the "Rage" debate...either you will love them or hate them...however its looking a lot like the majority concensious is hate them...too bad the theory was good...

I will admit that blood trail on your elk last fall was pretty devastating! If I was to ever switch from a fixed broadhead Grim reapers would be a at the top from all the testing I have seen!!
