Q:
I'm thinking about buying either the trufire swichblade, the swhacker, or the grim reaper Hades broadhead for whitetails and hogs. Anybody shot any of these heads?

I'm not a bowhunter, but if those points are as bad as their names, they should do max damage---or it could be just marketing.
I shoot the Grim Reaper Razortips not the Hades and I really like them and have had great success with them. I like the fact that there are no rubber bands or O-rings. I'm sure the Hades will do just as good being a Grim Reaper product.
You want a fixed blade head for hogs. You need reliable penetration. Don't fall for the names and the hype. The simplest designs are usually best when it comes to putting holes in tough game.
Amen to that Shane. I tried the Grim Reapers had very poor results with blades breaking off. I used the Swacker last spring in Texas on hogs. They did what they said they would. Angled shots penetrated behind ribcage and slamed into the front shoulder. But the feral busted when the hog ran.Guest any head would have done that though. My son used the other 2 I had left this deer season. He took a doe straight on through the breast plate and it made it completely through front and bottom of ribs intact. He shoots a 50# BowTech Equalizer with a 26" draw. Thats pretty impressive out of a light bow with any broadhead. I may try them this year on deer myself
