“I shot this deer in North Carolina on September 18th 2009 with a Crimson Talon XT broadhead. He went about 10 yards and fell. The exit wound was amazing. I will never use anything other than a Crimson Talon. Awesome.
Thanks.”

“I’d like to share my fat little buck that I took recently. I used a 100gr Crimson Croc broadhead on an Easton XX75 Whackmaster aluminum arrow fired from my Renegade NugeBow (signed by Ted Nugent and Claude Pollington) @ 55lbs. I shot him from a stand 20 feet up, 15 yards away and got both lungs and the heart. He traveled only about 35-40 yards after the shot. Thank you for a fine MARYLAND product!”

“The Tri-Van rest has been working like a charm!!!! It paid off big time opening day!”

“I shot this buck at 20 yds with a 100 grain Crimson Talon XT. The arrow went straight through him, and I was on the blood trail within 10 feet from where he stood when I shot him. Thank you guys at Mid-Atlantic for making an excellent broadhead—and helping me harvest my first whitetail with a bow.”

Lance Murdock
(New Lenox, IL)
“This is a picture of my wild pig I shot near Taft, Texas while ground hunting in Feb 2009. I shoot a Mathews Edrenaline, with Carbon Express Maxima 350 with Crimson Talon XT’s. With the same setup in September of 2008 in Ontario Canada with a small Black Bear shot at 25 yards at Bear Lake Wildernes Camp.”

Wayne Gibson
“The Crimson Cuda [mechanical] is the most accurate broadhead I have ever shot. The blades are very sharp and tough. This deer was 300 lbs and The cuda went through both shoulders and stuck in the ground. The amazing thing is it didn’t even bend or break—not one blade! This is one awsome product.”

Steven Obert
(SoCal)
“This isn’t a trophy buck by any means, but here in southern California you take what you can get. The best part about this photo is the massive hole that your broadhead (Crimson Talon XT) left in my deer. I will never buy anything else again! I just wanted to thank you for your product and look forward to taking more game in the future. (My only concern is that I will be accused of using a rifle during archery season!)”

“I was lucky enough to catch this Kansas Buck during the very early pre-rut phase in 2008. It was an 18-yard shot through very small opening. The buck went only 80 yards. Best bow harvest in 21 years of hunting. Thanks for a great broadhead.”

“I gave a friend of mine a couple of your X-System broadheads, and as you can see he had great success. The buck only went fourty yards and was done.
Check out the wound it left. He is a user for life now. Thanks again for everything.”

Steve Orr
(Pike County, IL)
“I killed this buck in Pike County Illinois in early November, 2009. He’s not real impressive with his odd antlers, he’s an 8 pointer with a measurement of 8″ at the bases. I was very impressed with the accuracy of the new X System broadhead and the damage it did on this 300 lb + buck. The broadhead passed through him like butter and left a gapping hole entrance and exit. He traveled 30 yards and expired!”

Brian Johns
“Here is a photo of “Mr. Spread” (23 2/8″ inside spread). Shot him with my Mathews zmax, radial X weave 200 arrows, tipped with Crimson Talon XT broadheads on October 6, 2009. Unfortunately In searching for him the next morning, I missed finding him by about 45 feet. I finally found him on Oct. 11th, but the coyotes got to him. [Inset] I have known of him since he passed my trail camera back in July. ”

Jerry Michrina
(Charlevoix, MI)
“I was glad I used the Crimson Talon Viper Venom and its unique cutting pattern. Had it not been for the wide open cut it left I might have not retrieved the bear. Traditionally I use a different blade very year so I can judge blades against one another. However after this year I may have a tough time using any other blade. Perhaps I can find a compromise by using some other blade from Crimson Talon.”
