Was gonna give the toxic broadheads a try. Just wanted to know if you pass through a deer with them and they strike dirt, can they be used again?

I 're used mine just cleaned it up didn't affect the blades at all. The blood trail was amazing didn't even half to bend down to see it.
2086868
My experience is not favorable that you will get a pass thru the first shot. Brand new they are not real sharp. I will never use them again.
2086869
I would say yes as long as you don't bend the tip, the blades are very strong

The blades are very durable and replaceable. if you do happen to damage one they are pretty easy to swap out.

Well first they are called bolts. They are stronger than arrows and do not have a regular nock. I shoot 18" or 20" . Got deer with 20" bolt with small fixed broadhead last year at 40yd. very little drop and passed right through.

if you get regular broad heads for hunting go to an archery shop and have them lined up with your fletching's this way they will fly straighter off your bow, I use mechanical broad heads.

I was using them with a crossbow. They shot about 3 or 4 inches lower and 1 or 2 inches to the right of my target points. The hype sounds really good, but it is all hype. I lost 2 deer with them.The first I got pass thru and no blood trail. The second, did not get pass thru and found 2 small drops of blood in 150 yrds of tracking in the snow. Very disappointed, others may have had better luck, but I will never use them again

Hi, I used them in hope of keeping elk and deer away but they only played with the items. They did not work for that.

I used this Toxic twice on my new crossbow (a light duty 300fps 140 lb draw). The first shot killed a medium size feral hog that only got 20 yards and the second shot killed an 8 point whitetail buck. In both cases the bolt went all the way through leaving a quarter-dollar size hole and shredding the lungs. With the deer it flew another 25 yards. I wouldn't even consider using any other kind of broadhead.

i don't remember so much if they fly the same. but i do remember i got no penetration on the deer and coyote i shoot with them. both shots were under 30 yards. had to track both animals for hours. i don't use them anymore.

Hello Brian, First and foremost, make sure blowguns are a legal hunting method for squirrel in your state. Just because it is not prohibited does not make it legal--it must be specifically allowed, although it may be include-able under any allowances made for airguns. Second, you need to be a very, VERY good shot with a blowgun before you should even consider hunting with it (apologies for the capitals--but I cannot emphasize this point enough). You should be able to hit the bull's-eye of an official blowgun target with nearly every shot at the range you intend to hunt (search "United States Blowgun Association" for free official target graphic). Even if you can do this, your range should be limited to 20 yards at the very most, 10-15 yards is better. Finally, be aware that for squirrel-sized game there are NO commercially available blowgun darts--despite anything you may read elsewhere. Even a heavy wire blowgun dart like the Mini Broad Head does very little tissue damage, even if it penetrates deeply. You need to think in terms of bowhunting, not rifle hunting. Most truly experienced hunters modify a dart similar to the Bamboo Dart with a #2 Exacto blade broad head. The cutting blade will do enough tissue damage to humanely take a squirrel, but again your shot placement must be very precise in the vital area--again, just like bowhunting. Apologies if I am discouraging you, but I cannot stress enough that blowgun hunters, even more than most hunters due to their weapon limitations, must shoot responsibly and humanely. Having said all that, know that I have hunted with blowguns on two continents and that if you do wish to use a blowgun for hunting, this one is an excellent choice as long as you have the lung power to shoot a "Big Bore" and the accuracy needed to make a humane shot.

these are very accurate, with broadheads you could hunt with it. Darts hit hard! If you shoot plywood you have to pull darts out with plires.

They are in the same rage package as there are at Wall-mart, Dick's, Gander Mountain, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop, and local Archery Shops. They are identical to my other rage broadheads bought from these other retailers and shoot and work the same. I've killed deer, moose, caribou and elk with them.

Definitely as long as you have the right arrows for it and heads. I bought some arrows off amazon that weren't strong enough and when I'd shoot them they would bend severely and take a flight pattern maybe two or three feet off target. I would recommend wooden arrows for target practice and a strong aluminum arrow shaft for hunting so you can put a good and sharp head on it for piercing the animal. Allen Company sells a 31" shaft recommended for 55lbs-75lbs with the broadhead inserts already installed.

Broadheads would slice the quiver up when moving the arrows in and out of it. Use an Easton plastic arrow tube instead.

I haven't had any trouble with them at all I killed 2 deer with the same arrow and they are still in tact so except for my broadhead it's all gravy

Further more they are designed for ferrel pigs. I personally rather carry these for self defense against predators, rather than my revolver. Just in case. And during a hog hunt blew the leg off an adult male from the shoulder down. Made a massive wound about the size of a softball, and upon further investigation the blast wave created internal damage to which the internal organs were irreparably damaged. For deer I do not know as it is illegal to use in my state. I love them, but I was an avid viewer of the dukes of hazard. And Rambo 2.

I've used them sucessfully on elk here in Idaho. Like any archery shot, it depends on your shot placement. Quatering away, right behind the shoulder, and there aren't many animals you couldn't take down. .

Check Excalibur.com for warranty info. I hunted last season with mine as a first time bow hunter. Put two in the freezer. Get you a target and zero the scope at 20 yards......shot my deer at 30 yards. Arrow went exactly where I aimed and blew right thru both lungs. Both deer ran less than 30 yrds. You will love the Excalibur. Don't settle for any other brand. That's my $.02 worth.

I got my first deer with one of these broadheads and it took the deer down within twenty yards from where I shot it. Put a hole in it about the size of a 12 gauge deer slug. definitely done the job for me.
