has anybody used the new nextra broadhead opens to 3.5 inches

Big Boar · 07-30-2011, 08:24 PM

I haven't tried them, but I do have one. They weight 125 grains and are 2 3/4 inches long from the front of the arrow. The head will have to penetrate 2 full inches before it hits the projections on the blade to make it open. They also cost about $22 a head.

I see one major problem, small entrance hole, and with that 3.5 inch diameter im guessing no exit hole. Which means bad blood trail. Granted you only need to trail them if you don't hit every vital organ in the chest cavity. I don't know if thats possible with that broadhead.

I will let you guys know because I got some coming my way and plan on taking an early doe with them and I will provide pictures of it with the damage it creates in the cavity.

Nextra - Broadhead

I dunno. Look intersting though.

How would those react to hitting a rib in the center?? Crazy design, they would make a sweet turkey head.

Its a three blade shwacker on steroids. I still say bad blood. But the tester will let us know for sure.

Here is a link to a guy that did a little testing of the nextra.

Them things look cool but it doesnt say what the entrance diameter is? But a 3-1/2" cut out the back is crazy I dont know if i am ready to try them but they are interesting

The video shows the entrance hole in plywood. It actually looks like a decent entrance hole. Its so crazy that I have to try them. Just for good measure i sent an email their way asking about the entrance hole size.
