Default Wac em broadhead, don't practice?

Was out yesterday evening doing some treestand shooting practice at 40 yards and my wacem broadhead that I shoot into a foam deer broke a blade after only 3 shots, they did seem kinda thin but I expected to get a little more life out of them than that. On a plus the sure do fly nice, right with field tips.

Fired an email off to them explaining what happened and they responded saying they would send me a pack of 4 replacement blades if I pay the shipping. I told them for 4 blades it's not worth the hassle and thanked him for his reply.

That's not the best performance out of both the blades and the company. Not sure I would use them for hunting. Thanks for the info

I'm a firm believer in slick trick broadheads. I love them so far. Haven't shot them into 3-d targets so not sure how they would hold up, but they fly pretty nice, and are so sharp it's scary. They Do some damage on the critters as well! Hope you find the ones you're looking for! Have you looked into getting some that you can also buy practice heads for? Then at least if you break one, it's not a hunting head anyways.

Wasn't much wind to speak of, was shooting in between rain showers lol. My next try will probably be slick grizz trick or qad exodus, heard really good things on both.

Things break how do we know you didn't hit a rod in the deer or something hard. so bad mouthing a company over 15$ replacement blades or whining because it's not free wow get a grip. And slick tricks work great fly great but I broke a blade hitting a tree after an exit don't see me crying to the company

How did I bad mouth the company? I shared my experience I had with them, I'm not whining, just looking for feed back, which is the point of the forum. Not sure why you needed to fill your diaper over it but I suggest you settle down.

Wac'ems are probably the best fixed head I ever shot.

I shot Wac'em for a couple of years including a couple as practice heads into foam targets hundreds of times and never had one break. I think you either hit one with another arrow or more likely drove it into the ground or a rock.

For deer the Wac'em broad heads are probably one of the best but I chase elk and thought they might have been a little small so I have gone back to montecs as I tune once and good to go for the season

Pretty fast response time on the companies part since you complained on here at 11:25 and had a response from Wac'em and time to post here again by 12:25

You need to get a little less defensive.

There are a good many people that have used those heads and they're great. What we are saying is this is likely a one off so keep trucking with them.
