Reaper entrance holes??? -

Ragin' · 07-28-2011, 07:10 AM

Does anyone have any pics of grim reaper entrance holes? I know the exits are awesome. And due to 24 years of bowhunting i have developed Mr. Arthur in my shoulder so i've had to kick the weight down on my bow. My arrow is weighing 350 and im producing right at 61lbs and im really wanting to shoot the 1-3/4 cut. Primarily whitetails, blackbuck, and axis deer. Matt at reaper says go for it. I dont doubt em but some more opinions. And some entrance hole pics would be awesome. Also before anyone suggests a Rage. NOT GONNA BASH but i had a horrible Rage failure last year as in blew both blades outta the ferrul. Fluke? Possibly. But i just have a stigma with em now that i cant shake. Thanks folks.

I'm not a rage fan either. I've heard mixed results on the entrance holes for the reaper, some say massive others say there small. If you search google images it will bring up some good pics. If you want to stay with expandable may I suggest bloodrunner 2 blade. Your entrance hole will be atleast 1 1/8 in but can be up to 2 1/16 in. Thats massive. check out the NAP wound room for pics of the entrance. Now if you want to switch to fixed blade the atom, or magnus buzzcut is the way to go. The atom requires no tuning what so ever and gaurantes a 1 in by 1 in cut.

Im primaily a fixed blade anyway. Ive shot the heads youve suggested. I actually had atoms before they hit the market. Fixed blade wise im pretty partial to Grizz Tricks. I do appreciate the info.

The entrance holes are not as big as the exit holes, but they are sufficient to get blood coming out...if you hit in the boiler room you will get good blood out of the entrance hole. Here is a pic.
