Shuttle T locs

Recommended Posts

Well I got lucky and pulled an archery bull tag in unit 1 this year and I'm going to change broadheads for the hunt. I have always shot Vortex blades but have had mixed results over the years. I am really leaning towards a fixed blade broadhradbbecause i feel as though you get better penetration with them. One of the heads I am very interested in is the Shuttle Tlocs. In 2011 I was hunting and came across a guy who had just stuck a bull. I offered help and an little while later we tracked up his first bull. He was shooting these heads and he had hit the bull a little forward, hitting him in the front shoulder but he still got a complete pass thru and the wound channel was phenomenal. Talking with him, he said he had no problems at all with arrow flight and that he didnt have to do much adjusting at all between his field tips and the broadheads. In the research i have done it seems as though they are a good solid broadhead.I was wondering if any of you guys have shot these and could you offer any feedback, good or bad. My setup is a Matthews Switchback set at 70 lbs shooting 5575's. Thanks.

I have used them for deer and javelina the past 3 years. 5 javelina and 4 deer between my son and I and we still have 6 of the original 12 unfired. We like 'em.

Shuttle T makes great broad heads. If you want another option, try out Wac ems'. They are very similar to shuttle T, and have proven to be deadly.

They fly great but come as dull as a butter knife IMHO just get the slick tricks and be done

Like HuntHarder, I too have taken a javelina or two with Shuttle T's. I switched to 100 grain Wac'Em Tritons, and now just increased to 100 grain Triton Wac'Em XL's, which provide a larger fixed blade cutting diameter of 1.25 inches. Both the standard and XL's fly exactly like each other and my field tips out to 80 yards.

I really appreciate the feedback guys! I am going to try both the Tlocs and WacEms. I tried out Steel Force and really liked the Phat Heads but they flew several inches off from my field tips. All this work getting ready for Elk season is so exhausting!! :)
