Wasp New Z-Force -

richa3md · 07-28-2011, 05:02 PM

Any thoughts on the design of effectiveness, I know they are new but I am just wondering if anyone has even seen them.

I like the design and have some on order from a dealer, but they are on backorder.

Thats funny because I was on there last night and they were there. I wonder why they took it down.

I've been interested in those since I first saw them in Bowhunter magazine. They look like they have a much better penetrating tip than a G5 T3. The tip on the Zforce reminds me of the old Steeelhead 100. Plus Wasp has always built tough-as-nails broadheads, they just don't advertise as much as the other similar BH's.

They were bought out this year and have new ownership, the original owner past away. I think we will see more of them in time there new webpage is a total revamp comared to the older one. They do have some of the best BHs out there!!!!

Not the time to buy they have a manufacturing problem, not sure when it will be cured

RAZORHEAD · 11-15-2011, 09:40 AM

I still have not seen the Z back up on there website yet?

Not a good sign...

Has anyone else seen anything?

I hope they fix the problem. 2 shots with them and both sheared blades. One was a low miss on a javelina and lost one blade, the second - a medium sized hog, shot through the ribs with this result:

Blades shearing off on even the lightest of hits on hard surfaces is not good. This has also been my experience with them, 6 broadheads tested, 18 blades shearing off. Not good at all. The area where the blades broke are where they join the little ball bearing, plus the retainer clips could posssibly be reinforced a bit.

I think these broadheads could be excellent on slower speed / lighter weight arrows however with 700 grain Dangerous Game FMJ shafts and a 80# bow, they are definitly not recommended IMHO.

You know, I think these are really nice mechanical broadheads and Wasp only need to do a bit more testing with them, upgrade some of their components and they should be pretty good.

Here is an update on Wasp service to its customers. I received an e-mail from Wasp and they graciously offered to either replace and or exchange the broadheads I had broken. I will be receiving broadheads in exchange.

Good for you Wasp, standing by your products. Thumbs Up !!
