Smile Death Blow Cam Locks

Those of you who you these how do you find the performance . I looked at these the other day & I see it seems they are just a smaller version of the modified cam lock which I use as well as lightning locks .

Well keep in mind that Marty maybe a little biased.
I used them this year and so far I have no complaints nor has anyone I've talked to that uses them.

I’ve taken over 100 coyotes using them this year, and have no complaints at all.

I hate deathblows with magnum springs myself. I used them heavily one winter mistakenly thinking they were a decent lock with ny system. I was wrong. The coyotes took too long to expire as evidenced by much brush destruction at the set, many entangled animals (otherwise un-necessarily), much time spent repairing locations for reset.

I dislike it when coyotes entangle when often there is no need for them to, as in having coyotes all spun up on brush when they should have been blasted dead.

The teeth are prone to damage, the heart of the lock.



Trigger7 mm you said you are using them with compression springs. Did you really mean that? A compression spring is the wire coily style spring as an Amberg style spring. Stinger springs and Magnum Stingers are torsion springs.

It is always pertinent to define terms in a discussion. We are happy with exactly what? One guy is happy because his coyote is caught and held even if entangled and significant swelling, regardless of location damage while the next guy is only happy when the coyote is laying flat out dead from a carotid artery occulusion death even if it is caught low neck.
