Ramcat Broadheads
By: Jason Amato
Fact: “The Ramcat Broadhead is the hardest hitting, most accurate broadhead on earth, with an industry leading 1 3/8″ cut diameter for the 100 grain. The 125 grain has a 1 1/2″ cut diameter.” Ramcat Website
Being an avid bowhunter, I’m always looking for that perfect broadhead. One that flies true and causes as much damage as possible. If you are like me, then you have probably tried out just about every head in the industry. Each year, new products hit the market and bring the hope of a perfect broadhead. In my opinion, there are four factors that all broadheads should be judged on: accuracy, cutting diameter, penetration and reliability.
Accuracy: The #1 factor in determining whether you have a successful kill or a blood trail that never ends is shot placement. You owe it to the animal and yourself to hit the vitals. If your broadhead doesn’t fly straight, good luck with that! These broadheads literally fly like my field tips.
Cutting Diameter: It is rare to find a fixed blade head with a 1 3/8″ cut diameter. In the past you would need to shoot an expandable head in order to get that kind of hole. The Ramcats have time and again impressed me with the devastating holes they leaves behind.
Penetration: I don’t care how fancy your blade looks, if it doesn’t create serious penetration then you have a serious problem! Just because you shoot a fast bow doesn’t mean that it always equates to a pass through shot. Ribs, shoulders and massive flesh stand in the way of that arrow. The further my arrow passes through my prey, the more damage is done which means greater blood lose. In all my tests, Ramcats have out penetrated the competition.
Reliability: Have you ever had a mechanical blade not open on impact? I have and it stinks! Bowhunting isn’t done in a warehouse or test lab with controlled conditions. Factors like wind, branches, prey jumping the bow string and less than perfect shot angles all add to the need for reliability. When I release that arrow, I must be confident that my broadhead will cut true into whatever gets in its way. This is the confidence I’ve grown to love when my Ramcats take flight. No moving parts on impact, just three sharp blades ready to cut.
Bottom Line: Ramcat Broadheads are deadly accurate and flat out get the job done! You get all the advantages of a fixed blade with the added benefit of backcutting if the arrow doesn’t pass through. I hunt way too hard to worry about my broadheads not performing. Thanks Ramcat!
