You are slowly selling me on these! They certainly look deadly and they have some good videos, if I decide to ever change up my setup Im most likely going to give one of these or other grim reapers a go.

These are cool in that the two long blades are off set...they open and compress the inner spring ring, then the smaller two blades open effortlessly without much tension.

I'm really hoping to have a chance to see what my grim reapers can do next week. I'm very skeptical of mechanicals but you have persuaded me in trying these (the 3 blades). I love how they fly exactly like my field points tho.

Those look pretty awesome!
I'm certain my 125gr razor tips will be just fine but I'm intrigued by this new design. How do they lock the blades open to shoot like a fixed?

Internal compression ring, they don't fully lock open per se so they are still legal here.

So they're just like any other grim reaper mechanical but I didn't know you can just open it before shooting and shoot it like a fixed?
Duh where have I been?

They seem a tad stiffer, they are good for all bows and crossbows. Not sure if the other ones (Razortips) can be shot in an open position.

Oh ok. And I now get why you mention legality. Didn't think of it that if they did completely lock open then they'd be designed to resist backing out (or however it's worded. ...long day and a headache right now)

those look very interesting. Did not even notice they came out with a new line. I am a adamant reaper fan and would be very interested to see/hear your results.

Should be on the way to retailers as we speak. They were released at the ATA show and the demand has been quite high so far. The Hybrid heads are another good choice.

They don't quite yet, but I am pretty sure they have some on order to the Calgary store and if you want some up here make a "store to store"'order.

Double the price of my source for standard grim reapers. Do they kill animals twice as fast?

They are a four pack most places are $50-55 for 3 of Razor Tips so that price isn't out of line. If you calculate price per head.
