They focused their broadheads for the broadhead community. The thickest blade in a Mechanical. Finally a mech head that might be reusable. The crossbow guys can get away with the over the top energy loss of deployment since their bolts have high momentum. I think the crossbow guys will like that a lot more than a rage head.

 

I might go to the bother of sending some to Lusk once they're available to see if they perform from a compound.

Has anyone had hands on these or shot them? The 100 grain model has .056" thick blades and the 125 grain model has .070" thick blades, both of which are impressive specs for a mechanical. I see it says "bolt" so I'm not sure if they're designed for compound shooters or not...I imagine they would be just fine with heavy enough setups unless they have a super stiff retention system.

They look like a stout broadhead I didn't think cobra would ever make a broadhead. I wonder where they are made?

Yeah I have a good feeling about these heads but who knows. We won't know until we put them through some animals I guess!

I have handled the 100 grain version. Stout blades. Pretty sharp. Very tight blade retention. I would be worried about quick deployment out of a vertical bow. I believe the retention system is ready for the newest ultra fast crossbows coming out. To avoid early deployment. Would love to see Lusk test them though.

 

Gene:


The broadheads will not need an adjustment and will work with a vertical/compound bow. If you have any other questions please let me know.


Thank you and have a great day,

Just got this reply from Cobra this morning in answer to an email I had sent them yesterday.

Those look interesting. I to would like to see how they perform in one of lusk's tests.

 

I have a new pack of 150 grain for sale in classifieds.

 

Did you shoot them at all? I bought a pack of 100s and the retention seems super stiff.. might send to Lusk for testing

You know if you test them yourself, you will know alot more how it preforms from YOUR set up. Remember you become a lot better archer buy shooting your equipment, not watching youtube.

 

Or “by” reading posts on Archery Talk.

 

I did just shoot one at my Block since deployment was the only thing that concerned me and looks like we're good to go....might put one through a deer to see what happens.

You can shoot in your yard obviously, you can do what he does. Not meaning anything bad by it. Just ment you will get better input from you shooting them then anybody.

 

Gene94, How sharp are the blades ?

Not shaving sharp, I will definitely touch them up before hunting. It will be time well spent though because the blades are insanely thick!! Definitely can see one broadhead taking many, many animals before failing. Built like tanks!

Appreciate the reply Gene ! Good luck this fall !

 

Thanks for the info and pics! I plan on getting some of their new fixed blade heads. Both the fixed and mech look like very good heads.

 

Tagged these look awesome. I have been waiting for the 2 blade rocket steelhead to come back out. This looks even better

 

I just listed a new pack of them in 150 grain for sale in classifieds; man are they stout.

 

What was your reason for selling?

Field test!!

Nice work! Curious though as it’s hard for me to tell, is the whole thing the cut (the full blue circle) or just what is inside the green circle and the rest is blood running out?

Yup, handled the angle fine too, and put a nice big slash through the vitals. I'm impressed!

I’ve got a Sevr i hope to test out this year, it’ll be my first time using a mech, but these are really peaking my interest, especially with the thick blades on them. How was the durability on the one you used? Still good to go through another deer?

I'll post a pic. Pristine condition.

makes you wonder why this head hasn't existed for awhile.... that's impressive. i might be killing a bull with a mechanical next year, that's confidence inspiring, and they make 150gr, which i like. i will be shooting 200gr heads next year, and 150's with a 50gr screw in insert weight... i was going to shoot valkyrie blood eagles mostly, but also have a couple 150gr kudu+, and a sevr robusto.... with this head i may pack 2 blood eagles, 2 of these in 150gr, and a judo arrow (carry a spare head in a small case that i can put on my judo arrow if SHTF)

from what i see, i would have no hesitation sending one of those through a roosie

 

I really like the looks of this head. Weird that they came out with a crossbow head before a vertical bow head. To each their own.

Similar to a Sevr, but it’s over the top instead of rear deploy. And the blades don’t pivot!

I have a fairly high energy setup (30” draw, 73” Hoyt 515 grain arrow) might grab some 125s to rip through some deer. 1-3/4” cut is just about perfect IMO.

Edit: 100 and 125 grain is 1-1/2”, the 150 is 1-3/4”

 

Similar setup to mine...30" and 70# here. 575 grain arrow weight

Watching this closely. Specs look great if it's reliable in vertical bows.

 

Yep, I have a lot of tags to fill this year. I'll keep posting results of my kills.

damn!! .070" blades on the 125 and 150! i'm going to buy some of those to check out, they are a legit looking mechanical... cool design too

 

Give them a try! I don't think you'll be disappointed.
