Carbon Express Broadhead

[RodL]

Anyone have any thoughts on this broadhead. With the bleeder blade being in the front of the broadhead would that make a difference in penetration?

Rod: Over the years I have seen a number of broadheads that have a similar design. I see no reason why this head would have a problem with penetration.

I have some of these heads and they fly really well. I'm hoping to try one out on a big fat doe soon.

VERY sharp out of the package heads with a great price too.  I've found them to penetrate well into the target and zero problems with accuracy.  I would like to try them on a deer this fall as well.

they look nice, I might give them a try

We haw shoot these heads on our trips to South Africa whit compounds and longbow, and they have a awesome penetration. The blade is super sharp and, retains their edge very well. We have fond that the blades almost as good as a Silver flame. The only thing we did not like, is that the ferule tends to bend at the back end when hitting bone. A friend of mine built me some new ferules in stainless steal (tool grade) that I now use whit these blade's. So now I have a super strong, super sharp broad head that is 175grs.

The ferule to the right: original aluminum. In the middle: stainless stale ferule. To the left: complete modified broadhead.

Thanks for the feedback.

I saw you removed your bleeder blades. How did you do this?

I've only been able to remove the ferrule, the bleeders seem to be "glued" in. Any advice? This would make sharpening way easier.

I would definately not wish to overdraw with this head.

You have to slid them a bit back and out to the side. Mine were not difficult at all to remove. You could try to pull them back whit a pair of pliers.

Never used them but they look sick!

i have just bought some of these broadheads in an easten design same head just under a diff. name and they are also sharp out the box but they do not seem to fly real well for me and i thought that they would because of the open areas thay wouldn't plane as much but am having trouble with them .
other than that they seem to be great .

I tried that using a rag so as not to mar the blades. Oh, well, I'll just keep trying.

Anybody else experience this?

[RodL]

Opinions on using this broadhead with a 45lb bow?

[WPAtrapper]

That's what I'll be shooting it out of.

[R.Montemayor]

Actually tried these out today, and they flew pretty good. About as good as I can sling them. Will probably try to fill my tags with these this year.

Sorry forgot to mention:

i'm using them in a 40#@28". I draw 30"

[Legois]

I've those, it's sharp like hell! Will buy another pack of them.
