Crimson Talon XT broadheads
The world’s most accurate and most lethal broadhead incorporates Spin-Tite Airfoil Technology which spin-stabilizes arrows from the front. Three rigid airfoils on the blades achieve high-speed spin keeping the arrow flying true. These airfoils also make the arrow screw through the target, much like a drywall screw, producing the Spiral Wound Channel. Massive hemorrhaging and unmistakable blood trails result.
On Target- You have all heard the saying “The proof is in the pudding”. Well let me just say “The proof is in the blood” and lots of it. I have been hunting turkeys with a bow for a couple of years now and have stuck a few but never have I heard or seen a gobbler bleed like mine did this year. At 30 yards I placed a Talon right into the longbeards beauty shop and as of now he is out of business.
I have yet to try them on any big game but intend to do so come fall. After shooting them numerous times into my broadhead target I found that they fly pretty true and smooth and the bonus broadhead helps the last minute decision making when trying to decide what broadhead to go with.
Off Target- Last I checked I would not be able to hunt with a Crimson Talon in Colorado. Because of some game laws I won’t go into Colorado prohibits the use of a broadhead this lethal. (This leaves me scratching my head) If you have any updated information on this ordeal fill free to let us know.
Also, I found that at further distances I was losing my tight grouping. I am not 100% on this but what I found was if my vanes were not running with the spiral channel of the broadhead they would drift a touch outside. So if you stay under 100 yards you should be good.

Are these better than Muzzy or G5’s?
I shot the Talon’s last year in ‘06. I shot a nice buck that was quartering away and busted through it like one of those knifes you see on the infomercials. lol
It performed really well. I haven’t tried the XT’s but I’m sure they work just as well.

I’m not going to call out and say one brand is better than another. That’s not what I do. Any broadhead placed in the vital region will do the job.
Try them out and see what you think.
The Critic
Neat site. Can you do a review on some guns?
I use the same broadheads as my husband uses. Not sure on the brand.
“If” you hit the vital….so the question to you “Mr Critic” is which broadhead gets you there? (flies the best)….
in your unbiased humble opinion of course
Retractables fly the best for me but I’m not a fan of them. I’ll stick with the fixed blades for now. As for a brand, I’ll have to say that I have not tried them all so I couldn’t give a good answer. lol
