    I've been a Swhacker user for about 8 years now. I started using them when I was still able to shoot a compound bow. I now shoot a crossbow due to shoulder issues. I've bow hunted for almost 50 years now and have shot about every kind of broadhead on the market. These are the most reliable mechanical head in my opinion. They have 1 pivot point that makes them open versus something like a Rage that has to pivot but also slide in a slot to open. The cutting edge of the blades, that cause the internal damage are protected until they are inside the animal, not getting nicked, dulled or bent going in through a rib cage. I have one head that i have shot 3 deer with and all I've done is take the blades out, clean the slot and sharpen the blades. The blades can be easily replaced if needed or removed for sharpening with the removal of 1 screw. When they say it shoots like a field point, they do! I do not have to adjust my scope to shoot these. I've never had a deer go more than about 40yds after putting one of these through the lungs or heart. But any head should do that. (As long as they open properly!) This is just an old guy's 2 cents worth, take it or leave it. I like the phrase KISS, keep it simple stupid.

      Not sure I am as old as you? But I switched for similar reasons, and my kids getting me back into it. Because they got me my first crossbow. Extremely thankful. Totally enjoy everything about bow season. Enjoy gun season too! But Bow holds a special place in my soul. Glad you're still out there winging it. Best to you😊

    You got this absolutely correct. I have been using the 2" 100-grain Swhacker for a couple of seasons. I was going to try to switch to Rage Hypodermic and I discovered that one of them would not stay shut even with a new collar. I went back to the Swhacker and promptly took down a seven-point buck. Now the only decision I have left is to stay with the 2" or go to 3". Keep up the great work, Rich.

    I remember when they were called Sonoran broadheads I have been a compound bow shooter my entire life and just bought my first crossbow to try a new avenue of hunting. I am amazed at all the info you divulge in your videos!!! Never understood why traditional and compound bow hunters give cross bow hunters a hard time? To me hunting is hunting! Subscribed for sure!!

    I was giving you crap about the pigs. But I have made recent decisions about getting into crossbows based off of your coherent, reasoned arguments. Not because you “use” the items you advocate. But because you give clear representations and examples. And I, having a mechanical interest and background, truly appreciate your information.

    A couple of weeks ago I bought my first crossbow. A recent minor surgery meant I should not be drawing my compound. The salesclerk (he knew less than me, which isn't much) showed me where the broadheads were hanging. I read all the packages. With no further guidance available to me, I chose the Shwuh Hackers (proper pronunciation) based SOLELY on the pretty packaging! Glad I did. You have left me feeling informed and confident with my gear. Great vdo. Keep em coming.

    I agree that finding a hybrid that will cut at least a 1” cut even if it fails to open. The Muzzy Trocar HBX have two 1” fixed blades and two folding blades that cut 2 5/8” when opened. But if they fail to open there are the two fixed blades cutting.

    I was shooting a2 inch rage 2 blade but recently switched to a g5 megsmeat 3 blade 2 inch cut and they leave big wound channels. They cut on entry but also penetrate completely. One disadvantage to mechanicals are the blades are one shot and done and cannot be resharpened after smashing into the dirt, even replace my blades are pricy. Watched your Maryland videos and there’s no denying those 3 inch SPEAR exit holes are super impressive.

    Great job Rich and you present a powerful case conselor, but I'm sure the jury is still out, because hunters are divided, and so this debate is likely to continue. And as far as Rich Wilson is concerned, the RAGE are no longer all the RAGE, it's been replace by the SWAHACKER! You're both having a great season, and I'm so envious, but next year we might switch bows and arrows too!

    I just picked up some swhacker broadheads but they were the black 150 grain 3” blades. Got a little worried because they weren’t crossbow specific but after attaching to my crossbow bolt the deployment blades will clear the arrow shaft. Also swhacker said they would work for crossbows and compound bows

      Yes, they stopped making the crossbow specific ones because they were just a duplicate product. These are the exact same size. Just a different color. If you're worried about deployment, just use two hands, they give you plenty. LOL good luck!

    I just ordered these to replace my Rage Trypans. Just like you mentioned about the back tab that sticks out the opposite side, therefore hindering the penetration. Yes, I have experienced this twice, and knowing I made a good shot, but the resulting blood trail was pitiful at best, and resulted in the loss of two arrows and broadheads. That's just over $80 blown, and no deer to show for it.

    The most notable thing about swhackers is how well they spin test. EVERY SINGLE ONE, spins true. Not a speck of wobble, and considering their fairly long overall length, that's impressive. Another nice thing about them, once you've sighted in with the practice blades, you can sharpen the blades and use them for small game. They work great for groundhogs.

    New comment. You got me hooked on the swaaaa-ackers. But I noticed when I opened up the pack, playing around a little bit, the band is kind of stuck to the shaft, if you will. I'll probably put new bands on. But I wonder if they broke down some, the rubber band itself, I mean, over time, being they were sitting in the pack for too long/or under too much heat, by sunlight or whatever. I wonder if that's why some people complain it didn't open? Just a thought. 🤷

I've shot two deer with them a doe and a big 9 point. Neither took a step. The doe was a complete pass thru and stuck in the ground on the other side on a 20 yard shot. She jumped up and fell over backwards and kicked. Was dead within 2 mins. The buck I hit high right behind the front shoulder and he dropped in his tracks. Think I clipped spine with the big cut dia. Put a second in him to finish. So no opinion on blood trails yet cuz haven't had to trail anything lol. Nothing beats their accuracy.

I also really like shooting my Hoyt so now I won’t be able to decide which one to use every time I go hunting.

    • @Deathbybunjie

      That's a really good question and I don't know the answer for sure. I know that around 400 ft per second, they work perfectly. They work really well out of my old slow crossbow too, around 260 ft per second. 500 ft per second? Whole different ball game perhaps. It will be interesting to see as people use them over the next few years.

    I do like the larger wound cavity this would create but I have a problem with any mechanical broadhead that uses a collar to keep the blades closed, I feel it is a weak point. That's basically why I have not switched to a mechanical. I am looking at the TenPoint EVO-X CenterPunch and I think I will give them a try, they don't use a collar, it uses the speed and force of the bolt to retain the blades. I will be getting a 100 grain because I am shooting it out of an Excalibur MAG AIR (305 FPS) and I want to stick with manufacturer recommendations.

      Speaking from experience, you're going to have a hard time opening mechanical broadheads with that crossbow. That is, unless you go with a heavier arrow. Bunjie shoots 305 ft per second with stock arrows, and around 260 with the arrows I use now, at 563 grains. The swackers work flawlessly on that crossbow now LOL

    I shot a buck last week with a 434gr arrow tipped with a QAD Exodus with my *gasp* compound bow. I went through the front side humerus, double lunged, center punched the heart and finally through the offside humerus. The interesting part, it left a 4-5" entry slit. No idea how it happened, it doesn't make sense, but it happened. The arrow was laying on top of the leaves 2-3ft from the shot impact site.

    I used the 3” Shwacker out of my Micro 335 last year (stock quil arrows). Worked great on my 3 does, but hit a decent buck, and watched him run off with my arrow, and never recovered him. (I think he ducked and I caught the shoulder, and the Shwacker locked up trying to penetrate the bone, as best I can guess). I switched to a 150 grain Magnus 4 blade broadheads this year, and 530 grain projectiles with Spynal Tapp arrows. I’ve shot 3 deer so far, and all have gone under 60 yards, with two complete pass throughs, and the one that didn’t poked through the far shoulder, and she dropped in sight piling up in 40 yards.

    I love these swhacker style broadheads. The only crossbow I have that does not like these is the coldsteel cheapshot, but it is not the broadhead or the crossbow, it is tthe style of the factory arrows having small fletching allowing the closed blades to affect the spin. The fix was to remove the fletching and replace it with 4" fletch, with that fix you have to be careful not to "robinhood" your arrows.

    Not related, exactly to crossbow hunting. But one rifle season, I shot two 8 pointers, few days apart, both were heart shots. One ran 75 yds. The other about 125. When I feel dressed them, there was nothing but mush for hearts. The will of the deer, is probably on matched. Or maybe every wild animal? How they could go that far without a heart, absolutely blew my mind! Something I always think about, every shot I take, now!🙆🤷

    My best broadheads were the old rocky mountain gator with the the original chisel tip in my old 315 fps xbow. Giant slits in and out with pass throughs 99% of the time. Huge blood trails but usually never needed as most dropped in sight. Gonna try the Nap Ti 2 blade heads this season because they remind me of the gators. The only thing I don’t like with the swackers is they make a small entrance hole and if it hit a shoulder in the opposite side they will bleed internally with a poor blood trail. The gator style at least puts a giant entry and exit hole. It also folds around bone for better pentration. Never had a small exit hole on dozens of buck bucks shot with them. Been using the gators since the mid 90’s till my last couple finally got wrecked after going through tons of deer.

The cut in contact blade tip version that Bass Pro sells bends and brakes just about every time I shoot a deer with them. No pass throughs either. The Gator black out SS doesn't open like they are advertised. I shot a couple of deer with them and only had 3/4" to 1" entrance and exit with poor blood trails. Tried the NAP double cross with the same poor results. Small holes and no blood trails. Found all my deer as well. Small entrance and exit holes again. I'm hoping the NAP Ti works like the old gators.

      Why not? The shrink-wrap they use to keep the blades closed is almost guaranteed to not fail. It slides up into the opening blades and slices itself open. Out of all the deer I shot with them, not one had a failure to open, and every deer was recovered, and recovered within 100 yards. Imo, it's one of the most fool-proof designed mechanicals out there.
