Grim Reaper reviews

I started using the same setup this year. Have yet to stick a deer, but everybody I talked to loves them

yea I shoot a hoyt nitrum turbo set at 72# so speed isn't my problem that's why I chose the 2"

yea I have a 26" draw length 350 grain arrow moving at 315fps

o its fast real fast and bowie measured me wrong I should be at 26 1/2 I have been out of bow hunting for years so I couldn't remember my draw length just got back in but im so good at 26 I left it there for the season then after the season im restringing it and going up and Eunice archery and jays archery in Eunice fixed everything bowie messed

they shoot good, but mine didn't expand on a bobcat and lost the blood trail. Deer they are fine.

Shot them for years and never lost a deer. They fly true and even bad shots bleed like hell. I don't shoot that fast either (sub 300). I couldn't give a shite less about what broadheads other people shoot, but when people ask, I always recommend reapers. I've never heard a single credible bad thing about them, and that's saying something. I have some pretty impressive photos on my phone of exit holes on animals I've shot. One particular deer looks like a 12ga slug blew out of its armpit. I'll post later if you want.

That's a controversial topic on here. Many believe that it's impossible for this to happen.

i have shot grim reapers the past 2 years. Excellent broadheads, i dont shoot the 2" though, they need alot of speed. And i dont shoot speed. i shoot the smaller ones


I know you shoot a Brute X, have you put that thing through a chrono? I know youre draw length will be short, but what's your poundage and arrow weight? Im asking because I bought my little brother the Brute X. It's an awesome bow for the money.

i have not. Im at 29" draw lenghth i believe. im shooting about 63lbs. Im shooting goldtip 5575 arrows. I love the bow, never had an issue with it. its dead on at 20, 30, and 40yrds every time i shoot it.. and thats all i need.

When i first got the bow i took it to my local shop (who is a matthews dealer) and got him to put the peep site on and paper tune it. He shot it twice and looked at it and said "what is this", and i told him... he said it was one of the smoothest bows he has shot, that he was very impressed. I dont bow hunt enough to justify spending $700 to $1000 on a bow, so i have gotten every penny out of this $350 bow

KE=77ft-lbs

You should be fine, your setup is generating way more than the recommended 65lbs energy. My bow set at 60# draw is generating 64ft-lbs and it drove the Grim Reaper 2" all the way through a doe at 20yds and stuck it in the ground. I love the Reapers but was afraid I didn't have enough energy after having to get a lower draw weight. When they say "watch em drop" they're not just whistling dixie.
