Swhacker Broad Heads

[tjhunt2]

I have never seen a product get so much attention here on cwt than swhacker broad heads from family and friends. I agree and think they are a good product but how ironic is it that they are getting all this free publicity without being a sponsor here. Swhacker is engineered and designed right here in Az and is affiliated with numerous tv shows, personalities, and businesses but not a sponsor here on coueswhitetail.

 

Just saying.

Kind of a swhack in the face.

[Flatlander]

Swhack!!!

 

Kind of glad they aren't because if they were I would feel obligated not to tell people that I have had 2 bad experiences with them.

Just so you know Swhacker broadheads was originally Sonoran Bow hunting products. Rick Forrest was the creator and originally made broadheads and sights. Hank Parker found them and took over the company and renamed them Swhacker. The are a national product not a local company no different than the Vortex or the Rampage that Steven Ward designed. I share my success stories and pictures of animals I've taken with the Swhacker not to sell them but to let people know what works for me.

Well, that explains it. Thanks Cole for educating me on that piece of history. Wish I had known before posting.

Good to know. I too did not know that and thought they were still a local product.

But not Made in the USA

Is anything still made in the USA...

Got to say I have seen what they can do and they are lethal ...

I don't use them I use Montec G5 but my cousin uses them and I got to say it leaves a great blood trail.

I was in unit 1 camping this weekend and practicing with my new swhackers. We found the shoulder bone of a deer (probably a fawn since it was so small). I shot my shwacker in it and it broke 1 j-hook because it had electrical tape around the blades to keep them from opening but the tip and shaft are still like new. My cousin shot his rage broad head at the same bone.....the rage was destroyed and even pushed the broad head into the arrow splitting it. We were both shooting at 20 yards 80lbs. My arrows are the generic redheads from bass pro shops. My cousins were Easton arrows. This all happened just after my cousin told me that he dosent shoot swhackers because the break to easy..... I am still laughing about this experience. I'll take a pic of the broad head and post it soon.

With any broadhead of any kind I am not worried about how they perform through a shoulder blade. I don't intend to hit one. I'm sure most fixed blade heads wouldn’t hold up either.

 

With a Schwacker I worry about a small entrance and no exit wound because I hit off side bone. With a Rage I worry about blades opening during flight or on a stalk. I don’t shoot them because I have no confidence in them. But the last thing I would worry about is their material not holding up on a broadside or quartering away shot in the boiler room.

Have you seen the pictures that Elkhunter1 has posted up of his kills with the shwacker broad head? The entrance holes are huge! When I first saw some of the pictures that he was posting up I was convinced they were the exit holes.

 

Additionally, when I was shooting my targets recently I had my wing blades taped close so I could tune then with my field tips (They tuned up perfectly too). The entrance holes of the protruding wings still made an entrance hole close to the size of my Muzzy 3 Blades (this is without any expansion). I am not worried one bit about the entrance holes on these broad heads. Hopefully, I will have some pics to post up in a couple of weeks of how they actually preformed.

[GotBowAz]

Yup, I seen them, those are once awesome holes. Did you happen to notice that they we weren’t from broadside shots and that one blade stayed on the outside of the hide rather that going through the animal, at leas that’s the way it looks to me? Those holes would NOT have happened on a typical and highest average shot broadside…period. The biggest hole/slice was from a tree stand bearing nearly straight down. It opened up one side.

 

I asked for entrance hole from Schwacker on other sites, I finally got a few guys that initially wouldn’t show pic’s of entrance holes to be honest about their assessment on entry shots. No thanks on a one inch entry hole. That was average on both deer and elk for broadside or quartering away shots. Exit were massive. I just don’t count on exits wounds on Elk quartering away. Again, on my own research of these heads, and I have admitted they would be the only jack knifing type mechanical I would use, but the entry holes on average are not for me, therefore I am not comfortable shooting them.

 

Go on line and try to find entry hole advertized for Schwacker. You won’t find many if any except what you see on this site.

Here is the entry hole from my swhacker this year. There was no exit hole because my arrow center punched the opposite humerus and stopped dead. The 3.5" entry hole was more than enough for an awesome blood trail

I'm confused on why we feel "free publicity" is OK since we just found out it's a thriving national company. However if they were a small local business we feel as if you should sponsor or we won't share our experience with your product or service? Am I way off on how I interpreted this? If so please dis regard.

Speedygoss, my intent was never to make someone feel they had to be a sponsor nor would I ever suggest we ignore a small business of their product or services just because they weren't a sponsor.

 

I am so wrapped up in this site that I just can't imagine everyone with a product or service not wanting to jump on here as a sponsor. I apologize if I made it sound any other way.

 

I personally didn't mean any disrespect towards Rick Forrest or his broadhead.

 

My wife is always telling me I often say things others wouldn't understand what it is I'm trying to say. Heck, I understood it. lol Those who know me know I have a different vocabulary for words and should start my own dictionary called "Redneck Dictionary".

 

Speedygoss........thanks for sharing your interpretation. Made me rethink on what I said. I need that once in a while. Good luck on all your hunts and thanks for all your contribution in the forum here on cwt.
