Besides Fred,
Anyone shooting Phantom broadheads? Likes ,dislikes?
I bought some ! I'll be watching this thread
I've used them for years, ever since they were sold as Elk Mountain Phantoms, and I have never looked back. There are a number of 2 blade heads that are similar and they're good too.
Keep them sharp and they will do their part.
I've used them for hog hunts and done well. One thing I don't like is the blade bends easily.
I love mine as a 200 grain two blade.
I have collected and shot a bunch of 4 blade phantoms. I like them, but shooting lighter weight now makes me gravitate toward something with lower profile inserts (stinger, steelforce, etc.) or 2 blades.
Tracey and I been using them for 4 years love them leave a nice hole with a good blood trail. Sharpen easly also
I've taken two cow elk with them, one of them head on. Both had complete penetration, but not pass thru, head on cow the arrow was buried nearly to the fletching. Thats good perfomance.
However, on both of them the blades were bent severly. I quit using them outta fear. MY brain just works that way.
Been using them for years on hogs and deer. I shot a bunch of hogs and deer in the off shoulder and haven't bent one yet. I'm using the 200gr models though.
I like them alot, especially since I took out the bleeders. They come with a very precise edge that are easily honed.
I've had no complaints with them. This is the exit on a doe I shot.
