The next two shots with the broadhead produced one ragged hole between the field point tipped shot and the first broadhead shot. The first shot with the Dead Ringer attached hit approximately 3/4-inch down and to the left of the field point tipped shot. The distance was 33 yards confirmed by a Nikon rangefinder. A shot with a field point attached was made to use as a reference and to verify point of impact. I placed a paper target pasted on a sheet of cardboard (corrugated board for you packaging people :teeth, and placed it in front of a McKenzie ShotBlocker target. A shooting bench and rifle rest was used to create a stable platform for testing. To prevent the blades from deploying, the rubber o-ring was removed and in its place dental floss was wrapped (several times) around. Adding the rubber o-ring added one more grain to the head. Two of the heads weighed 125.0 grains, and the third weighed 125.2 grains. The heads were then weighed on an electronic powder scale. There was no discernible wobble they looked perfect. A dot from a Sharpie was marked on a box and placed in front of the broadhead point as a reference. Next, each broadhead was screwed into Spynal Tapp bolt and spun tested. The other two broadheads had no issues with any of the blades and moved very easy. A pliers from the toolbox and some gentle bending fixed the problem. The other two blades easily opened and closed by rotating the head point up and then point down. When the package was opened the display broadhead had one of the blades stuck and looked slightly bent.

If, for whatever reason, the mechanical portion fails to function the broadhead still acts as a fixed head and creates a 7/8-inch wound channel.

The dead Ringer Rampage is a hybrid, meaning it starts out as a 7/8-inch 3-blade broadhead and expands to 2-inches as it enters the target/animal. I always appreciated the reviews others put on this forum, so I thought I would write one on the Dead Ringer Broadhead.
