Inverter 3 balde "TRI-VERTER"

Recommended Posts

I like the old two blade steel head very much but i use two layers of clear tape and not the rubber o ring they make too much noise and have to slow down the arrow.I think you will have to make a head without the o ring for it to be a real big seller.

I would have to diagree . the o-ring will not effect your arrow speed enought that you would be able to tell. if that was the case your arrow with broadheads would never hit the same as your feild tips. also most of the noise you hear from your arrow is the fletching. also its hard to make a mechanical head without the o-ring due to patents .

I switched bows this year to a Hoyt CRX 35. It shoots like butter - so smooth, so quiet, and way faster than they advertise.

 

So I started messing around with broadheads the other day to see how they shot out of this bow compared to my field points. I shot Muzzy, G5 Montecs and Strikers, Slick Tricks, Magnus Buzz Cuts, some Rage practice heads and others.

 

Ward's was kind enough to send me out a couple of Inverters to try - all I can say is WOW! At first I thought that the design was too similar to a fixed blade to add the moving parts of a mechanical. My take on broadheads is, if you can shoot a fixed head - you should. There are no moving parts, fixed heads are generally stronger, etc. Let's face it, most of the time guys shoot mechs is because they have tuning issues that make fixed blades fly differently than field points.

 

My opinion of mechanical heads has really changed over the past couple of years. Everyone has their favorites, and I'm no different in that. I've heard really good things about the G5 Tekan II, the Rage, the G5 T3. I wouldn't any longer be concerned about taking a mech head into a real huntign situation.

 

Back to Wards' Inverters. Of all the heads I shot, these were some of the smoothest flying heads I tested. I wasn't sure at first, before shooting them, if I would really try them on a hunt, because, well, I'm super picky and don't like experimenting when an actual hunt is on the line.

 

I'll be hunting archery antelope in NM this August, AZ Unit 1 bull in September (hopefully) and December AZ Coues in 24A , and I'll have these heads on my arrows. I loved the way they fly, I love the fact that even if somehow they don't deploy, you've still got a solid fixed-type head, and when they work as they appear to, you've got the advantages of a large-cut mechanical.

 

It's hard to express how effective this design is, because at first look it might appear to be the worst of both worlds. It seems almost like a fixed blade design that might negate the need for using a mech in the first place, and add on the the shortcoming of a mechanical, which is reliable deployment.

 

In my actual testing, it performs just the opposite. It flies like a field point, but because of it's design, if it somehow failed to deploy, still has the cutting diameter of many fixed heads. If it deploys correctly, which every shot I've taken with it, it has, the cutting diameter increases tremendously.

 

Bottom line - I'm not a mech shooter, but I would feel comfortable taking these heads on any hunt. My quiver will have 3 Muzzy 100 graing for 50 yards or less, and a combo of Triverter and Rage for longer shots.
