OK.  I am about ready to try out the Eclipse Broadheads.  I have been trying as many as I can (Muzzy Phantoms, Woodsman, G5, Muzzy MX-3, etc...) and it seems the Eclipse are probably the best out there.  I've read the factory tour piece by David Peterson in "Traditional Bowhunter", the Ashby reports, the website, and several threads on tradgang.  

Since I am looking for a bh that has at least 1 1/8" diameter hole, 3 or more blades, and weighs about 150 grs, is American made, and meticulously constructed, the Eclipse fits the bill.  I considered single bevel, but am predominantly a white tale and turkey hunter, so bone is not a huge issue for me (no elk, moose, or African game).  That said I am open to opinions on that... although my biggest concern is good blood trails and big hole for a quick, clean kills.

What I am curious about is experiences other have had with this broadhead?  What were the blood trails like?  Are the bleeders worth the extra expense?  And MOST IMPORTANTLY, were they able to be precisely aligned on the screw in adaptor and HOW were you able to get that alignment?  

Thanks everyone!!
God Bless,
Erik

You can not go wrong with these broadheads...I've been using them for 10 years with fantastic success.  You will never have a problem with Blake, other than looking at him!  Absolutely top notch.

I've not killed anything with one (not for lack of trying  :help:  ) but my favorite multi-blade arrangement is the that style.  The small bleeders add a lot of cut and open wounds up but don't seem to impede penetration much if at all.

The bleeders are stainless on the Eclipse and sharp right out of the pack.  The ferrules are very true and no harder to align than any other head and easier than some.  I use either short adapters or a slighty cut down 100 grain steel adapter, the bleeder sits farther forward on the Eclipse than say a Magnus so even medium adapters will work just fine.

Hope this helps, Tim

Thanks Gents... I ordered the broadheads today.  I ended up going with the single bevel design so we'll see how that goes!
