Default Which Grim Reaper to buy.....

Looking at purchasing some Grim Reapers for big game hunting this year and wondering what mechanical blades have worked for you guys. Is the Whitetail Special as good as the razor cut? Thanks.

Whitetail special is just a 2" version of the razorcut, both great heads.

Depending on what you are chasing and what kind of energy your producing kind of dictates what to shoot. If your looking for one head from turkey's to moose the whitetail special wouldn't be my choice. I shoot the 1 3/8" razor cuts and razor tips. They both work great and I use one head from deer to moose. The whitetail special cuts a huge swath and I'd be scared t try and push it through an elk or moose 40 yrds plus.

I used the razor tip 1 3/8" cut on my big fella last fall. The amount of blood was amazing. Holes in and out were bigger than 1 3/8" lol






I wouldnt use the 2" cut on anything bigger than a deer from what ive been told bybmore experienced bowhunters.

Our group has used the Wasp Jak Hammers 1 3/4 " cut for years. The Jak Hammer and the GR are very similar in design and function. We have shot tons of deer, texas hogs , a few bears, and a handful of moose with them. That big cut is deadly.
Be sure if you go with the 2" you have your bow tuned super well with a good FOC %, good speed and you should be fine with most NA game.
