RFA Talon Overview with Vids - Page 2 -

Booner · 12-30-2009, 12:18 AM

I shot them today and they were right with my field tips and very consistent. They are hard as diamonds so far. I am going to do my best to bust one this week Stan...hahahaha...but I think my work is going to be cut out for me!! They are like a little wrecking ball. I don't know that you can bust one. I think you would break it at the threads before you would ever do any damage to the head.

I'm liking this head a lot. I noticed that you actually get some penetration with this head. I have noticed with the G5 head there is minimal penetratin in most circumstances. They have worked out very well for me, but I do think I would like to give these a try. I would like to see them in a 100 grains though.

The only "issue" if you wanna call it that is on a miss. The G5 and judo points will usually cause the arrow to cartwheel or stand straight up. Looks like the Talon may bury in the leaves or undergrowth............. I know i know, stop missing.......

The certainly look much more durable than any other small game head. I'll have to try them out!

Wood - Right now we've got them listed at $11.95 for a two-pack and $15.95 for a three-pack, plus shipping.

Booner - Ha, if ya can break one tell me how you did it and send it to me and I'll gladly send you a replacement on the house

HuntingtonsAssassin - We will have them in 100 grains soon. Right now just trying to get this thing off the ground

Cartman308 - I thought about the arrow burying under the grass when I was designing the tip. That is one reason the end is concave, it does help some with keeping the head from burying, but it is not as effective as a judo. Of course, when you've got long thin arms on a head, they'll break. If I was shooting a lot in the tall grass, I think I would through one of the Zwickey grasshoppers on the shaft.

Stan - ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait to get them and bury them into some little critter.

Booner · 01-03-2010, 12:10 PM

Shot a frozen water bottle, old "real" tin can, and a footing block with it this am and still looks new......two busted arrows so far. Next.....hahahahaha...this is more for than a dollar on a string.

Red Feather Archery · 01-04-2010, 08:46 AM

In the mail today, Steve. Let me know when they get there.

Got the heads in the mail today. They look awsome. Will shoot them this weekend. Thanks Stan & Red Feather Archery.

Red Feather Archery · 01-07-2010, 09:59 AM

Saddleman - We're workin' on gettin' them to the Shed, my bro is in charge of most of the business side of the business, I just invent and product test

He was in Pasadena for the Rose Bowl this weekend and is now a little depressed

. I'm meeting him Saturday to go over some things so it should be soon.

In the meantime I plan on trying to get out this weekend for another Rodent Patrol hunt, this time with a video camera. Hopefully, I'll have something to post by Sunday night.

Steve - Let us know what you think after you've roughed them up a bit.

So this where sausage comes from???? I always wondered!! Lol!! I got to get some of these heads!!

Robin@AimLow · 02-04-2010, 10:44 AM

Those look like perfect medicine for all the 'dillas we chase around on our FL hog hunts!

Red Feather Archery · 02-04-2010, 08:47 PM

Hey Robin, I think they'd be the ticket for 'dillas. We don't have those around here so I'm going to need some pics when you get one.

WABOWMAN · 02-05-2010, 08:35 AM
