Grim Reaper splitting bones in 2013

January 10, 2013 ATA SHOW Louisville, KY

Grim Reaper® rewrote the book on how a mechanical broadhead should perform. They have designed the only broadhead licensed to carry the Mathews® name and with their legendary cut-on-contact Razortip blade Grim Reapers provide bone crushing ability.

Since 2000, they have combined the accuracy and durability of Trocrazor tip that  promises to wreak havoc on bone while flying like a field tip.

The Grim Reaper unique mechanical 3 blade is a swing open type mechanical, but with a few distinct features. First the tip has 3 small blades inserted on the three flat sides on the Razortip™. The 2nd unique feature is the blade retention system. The head uses springs and a collar to hold the blades closed without the use of O-rings, rubber bands, or clips. The collar pushes the springs forward. Which, in turn, put pressure on the rear of the blades. Grim Reaper’s LockNotch™ blade retention system keeps the blades closed until the head impacts something to force them open making them the fastest opening blades on the market. Another unique feature Grim Reaper has created is their expander cup. Almost every broadhead will convert to a larger cutting diameter with their expander cup, which adds another ¼” to the respective selection.
