$18 for 12 on ebay. Group perfect with field points. Cant beat for that price.

 

That's a heck of a good deal

 

I’ve killed 2 deer with them. Really liked them. I’ve since swapped to Exodus but they would be my first choice if I went back to a mechanical.

 

That's good to know. Did you use the 2"?

 

They are simple and deadly. Excellent flight characteristics.
They have several models you can view on their website.

 

Yup, I shoot the Levi Morgan series, they have a slight curve in the blades and a curve cuts better than a straight blade. 28 yard shot - he didn’t even know he was hit, walked 25 yards and fell over.

 

That's impressive. That's the same kind I ended up buying. Nice buck by the way

 

I switched TO the swhacker from the Exodus last year, unfortunately I ate tag soup last season but they were first choice over G5s and Rage. Hopefully I’m able to have some success with them this year.

 

Back when I use to use mechanical heads. The shwaker was the first ones I stopped using because the blades keep snapping off on impact.

 

I have literally never had this happen and have reused heads on up to 3 kills after straightening and sharpening blades. Moved on to fix blades but never an issue with swhacker blades or ferrules.

 

The only complaints that’s not dictated from user error via shot placement

The small entry holes. But I’ve known several guys that like them

 

Good broadhead overall. The ferrule is a main weak point, being aluminum and its overall length it tends to deform and bend. Blades also bend easily, but I have never had one break. In one instance I stuffed the offside shoulder and didn’t get a pass through, because of how the blades open the blood trail was sparse, but I found the buck. I would have no qualms about using them but there are others I prefer over them.

 

Good head overall. The aluminum ferrule where the blades fold in is a weak spot. I've had the ferrules bend/collapse in this area. If they changed to a titanium ferrule the durability of the overall head would be greatly enhanced.

 

If they changed to a titanium ferrule the durability of the overall head would be greatly enhanced.

I hope they’d brand a titanium swhacker as the TiTSwhacker!

 

i like the two blade cut on contact heads they make

 

Check out lusk archery adventures on YouTube - he test every broadhead that comes out.

 

Have used them, and still have some. No complaints. My wife last year had to switch full time to a crossbow due to eye issues, and I equip her bolts with my Levi series and they are devastating on deer.

 

What’s everyone’s experience with the rubber bands? Do you just replace them every season and call it good?

 

You won't have any issues with the rubber bands or the newer rubber plug. No need to replace either until after the blades have been deployed.

 

I shot them 2 years ago and had absolutely no blood trail at all but he dropped 45 yards away. The exit hole didn’t even have blood coming out when I found him. Had it been a bad shot I probably wouldn’t have found him.

 

Same experience here.

 

In my experience they shoot fantastic, I love the idea of the design, but I am not sold on them. The first deer I shot with one went a ways because I hit her in the liver but I had blood and a good exit so I was able to find her. The second deer I shot with one I hit high lung, had no blood, which makes sense due to shot location. The issue I had was the entrance and exit holes where the same size (unopened size). I am thinking the broadhead opened but the blades broke on the ribs on exit. I never found the arrow, but it took about 15 minutes for him to go down in about 50 yards from the location of the shot. So at the end of the day it did the job. Lastly I shot a coyote with one, I shot it behind the front shoulder and I believe it hit the opposite side front leg on exit. The one blade broke off and the other was bent. Never found the coyote and didn't find much blood.

 

Dang, just practice more

 

I don't like the tiny entry hole design. Other than that they have tons of options. Materials, cut size etc. Some guys love them.

 

Smoke em if you got em! 🤘

 

I’m a swacker fan but I’m going to try beast this year also. They look like a spring loaded swacker to me so that should help with the entry and exit holes and not close if they hit bone

 

Swhackers were around for a long time before they were known as Swhackers. They were the Sonoran broadhead and were invented by Rick Forest. He killed a lot of elk with them. They were rebranded as Swhackers when they were sold to Hank Parker. I have used them since they were known as the Sonoran head. I have killed deer and feral hogs with them, mainly the two blade, two inch, 100 grain version. They work great. A titanium ferule would make the two blade the perfect broadhead.

 

Great broadhead ! Yes plenty and growing.

 

All good to know. Appreciate the tips bout the bands. These things leave a exit hole bout like a rage?

 

Same 2” exit if the rage is 2”. Checkout Catman Outdoors on YouTube. He kills dozens of deer every year with swhackers, usually reuses them.

 

Very good broadhead. Most are very good anyways. It comes down to preference.

 

I shoot them and really like them. Be aware a lot of the "too good to be true" deals on eBay and even Amazon are knock-offs. Buyer beware.

 

This ^^^
I just received some junk ones today. The packaging looked legit but the broadheads are not legit. The blades were junk stamped steel and rattled. I tried to tighten down the blade screw and it just runs through without stopping or tightening down. It was $18 for 3 heads and my fault for going cheap.

 

I shoot them and love them. I’ve shot a few other heads now and again but they just plain work. Always good blood trails…I use the original 1.75” and I don’t think I’ve ever had an arrow not completely penetrate on deer or hogs. Affordable and fly great.
