Rodem Slime Shop
7.5oz for $12.99-19.50 Labels are now waterproof! Yaaay! 💪🏻
I was so excited to get into this giant package from one of my favourite stores, and one I really love to support as they deserve it! This was actually a couple of orders I placed over time and Rodem contacted me to ask me if I wanted to combine them which demonstrates their incredibly attentive customer service. Usually the customer needs to contact the store for this to happen.
Included inside was powdered borax, a free gift slime for each order plus one more because it was a large order and they are generous. This exchange with Rodem got us chatting and then something very special transpired but I will post separately about that as I have to cram a lot of slime into this review and have limited space for images!
I had to brew a cup of tea, sit down and take my time going through all of these to make sure I combined all the correct things! It helps a lot that they are all pictured on the enclosed invoice but it would be helpful if they were packaged together. That having been said, separating the heavy pots of slime from the clays is a good idea when the order is this big and heavy so I can't complain!
​

• LEMON TART (DIY butter snowfizz, lemon cookie scented)

This smelled OH SO good. The lemon and the cookie notes comes through and were just delicious and very realistic smelling! Sometimes lemon scent is reminiscent of citrus scented cleaning products to my nose but not this, this was an excellent effort. but My clay lemon was a little squished but clay often can be due to being delicate and tricky to package and the issue is not uncommon with any company.
The clay was soooo very soft, moist and pleasant to squish into the base. After you take the base out the pot you are met with a little bit of “caramel” sauce on the bottom of the pie. It’s all very mouth watering. This was the perfect, massively inflatable snow fizz and I was so in love with it. It was super crunchy and had the expected abundance of ASMR fizzles. It was beautifully activated and in every way a perfect slime. Some may find snow fizz a bit pokey but this wasn’t bad at all, the inflation was very cushioning!

​

• TEA TIME (DIY clay, strawberry, blackcurrant, blackberry blended fruity scent)

The scent is fresh, fruity and yummy and the charms SO charming and well thought out! This clay was slightly stiffer and a tad dried out but the base extremely moist, silky and jiggly with tons of resistance on the pulls and I didn't end up with any lumps. It becomes extremely light, puffy, chubby and flubbery with massive pops and medium to soft clicks on the pokes which get louder as it inflates. I love Rodem’s take on this texture, it has all the awesome elements of the fluffy slimes I got from Seoul Gage but was more robust with no destabilisation issues (I found the SG ones a little dehydrated and sticky the next time I played.)

​

• BUMPER CAR (silica sand x salt, rose scented, also a choice of peach scent if you prefer)

I love rose scent and this was PERFECT! It isn’t a perfume type scent, just pure, sweet rose water like rose Turkish delight or, indeed, actual rosewater. I was utterly obsessed! This was a stunning slime with a beautiful iridescent pink topper and the most gorgeous little pink bumper car charm. It sounded absolutely incredible to crunch and combine. The little pops, sizzles and crackles were out of this world. This was so heavy in silica crystals and yet not pokey as the pieces were quite smooth and small but of course your mileage may vary. I can’t express just how much I adored this slime, one of my all time favourites!

​

• YUMMY POPCORN (styrofoam slay, caramel popcorn scented)

The fact this comes with a little paper popcorn bag containing the Styrofoam "popcorn" is the cutest touch ever! I adore Rodem, they think of everything to make the experience so incredibly fun. This smells just like freshly popped caramel popcorn with a tiny hint of sweet corn, I loved it! The two hyperrealistic popcorn charms that comes with it are hilarious!
The base was soft, jiggly, super clicky and fluffy and the Styrofoam really satisfying to crush into it. I just couldn’t get over how spectacular the scent was, it was making me hungry! This slime was a slightly looser slay texture and needed a little bit of activator to aid in handleability but not much. It had a few nice medium pops in it but very little hold, which unfortunately isn’t to my taste but many people love that. I was tied over this slime as the scent was just divine but I prefer more holdable textures. That is a reflection on my personal tastes however, not the slime which was great! If you like jiggly slays you’ll fall in love with this. I may not be a slay person but there is no way this wasn't going be a keeper, it had just too good a scent and crushing the styrofoam is great fun!

​

• CAROUSEL (DIY clay, citrus fruit and aloe blend scented)

The scent wasn't bad but just wasn't a hit for me, a personal taste thing again. The clay was a little bit smooshed and it was tricky to tell what it was but extremely, soft squishy and moist. (Incidentally it was, you guessed it, a carousel 🎠)
The base was quite loose and jiggly and called for a little bit of activator but very soft, chubby, quite matte and pleasant in the hands. This combined into a huge, soft, marshmallowy mound of slime with a lovely plush surface. Super stretchy and fun to fold for soft bubble pops and lovely soft sizzles. It was a little on the loose side for my personal tastes but slay lover will again adore this! It was a well made slime.

​

• EMMENTAL CHEESE CAKE (DIY clay/butter, savoury cheese cookie scented)

This was a very interesting, fun and unusual scent. A little sweet but notably savoury with a subtle hint of cheese. The first time I played with it I enjoyed the novelty but the second time I wasn’t sure if I loved it enough to buy again. It’s hard to describe but definitely worth trying.
The HUUUUUGE cheese clay came in a sealed package and was so soft and pleasant to squish. It became a ginormous, matte, sort of butter texture, which was both fairly holdable and yet exceedingly soft. It stuck to my play area a bit. It was quite a job to handle it on account of its size and a difficult texture to describe. It didn’t feel sticky at all on my play surface but stuck to my hands when I tried to pick it up and stretch it. When I pressed my hand into it on the surface it didn’t stick or feel sticky but if I picked it up to try and stretch it, it was very gooey and hard to shape. Activator didn’t seem to make that much of a difference. This was a texture unlike any other I’ve experienced. It’s one I’m a little lukewarm on but still enjoyed playing with for an unusual experience and worth it for the mega-sized clay cheese alone!

​

• MIXED COFFEE (super gloss thick T&G, mixed coffee and coffee ice cream blend scented)

This was a delicious, very creamy coffee ice cream/frappe coffee creme scent, very rich with subtle notes of chocolate. It was a medium thickness, super clicky, moist glossy texture with decent resistance on the stretch. Very good and elastic with tons of bubble pops and wet crackles. This was an extremely pleasant and easy to play with moist and jiggly glossy slime. The longer you play the looser it gets but not problematically so.
https://preview.redd.it/hhob7e8ndi0d1.jpg?width=4823&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eac50e47e3ae4040528d30a10444dede22dea5aa
​

• FUJI APPLE ICE CREAM (DIY cloud creme, apple scented)

A lovely, fresh, crisp apple scent. The clay apple is so cute with its velvety exterior and so perfectly made. It was amazing fun to squish. This combined to a super stretchy and ultra fuzzy cloud creme. It was extremely light and super sizzly. This was another texture which is familiar and yet very unusual on account of the extreme fuzziness. I loved it and found it pretty amazing to look at!
https://preview.redd.it/o5fah6ugei0d1.jpg?width=4905&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3941974b12b9e28570cad567ace8fb1fa46f2d9
​

• FLAT PEACH CAKE (DIY clay and coated jelly/fluffy snow, peach scented)

The base has an absolutely beautiful fresh peach scent. Another stunningly well made clay which looks so much like a peach with the way they have created the fuzzy surface and peachy-perfect colour shift. It was soft and great fun to combine into the jelly base. The resulting slime was nice and clicky with big, soft bubble pops. It really felt plush and soft-surfaced on my fingers as I stretched it and was very moist, chubby, jiggly and flubby when I set it down. This was ultra inflatable with nice soft sizzles.
https://preview.redd.it/u2372z0wei0d1.jpg?width=5691&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f60afeb65d0269a8d83619526e9b97a4c264cb49
​

• YAKULT GELATO (DIY snow creme, Yakult scented

A pleasant, mild, fruity yogurty scent. The little scoops of ice cream were so soft, moist and great to squish. This started off with lots of resistance and a nice plush feel as I pulled it. It had moist clicks and soft bubble pops. While it gave a little bit as it warmed up, it did retain a bouncy and elastic stretch with a nice little bit of resistance. This is another fun, boingy, flubby, jiggly texture, which is super inflatable and great fun to play with.

​

• MY COSY SPACE (cloud slime, sweet juicy peach/added perfume)

It’s so ironic that cloud slime is my favorite and yet I have so very few of them retained in my collection as I just can’t find ones I love that drizzle perfectly! I was very, very excited for a cloud from Rodem but also anxious as clouds are so rarely perfectly in line with the exact level of drizzle I’m looking for! I absolutely ADORE the aesthetic with the soft little rug that comes with it in the shape of Rodem’s bunny logo and the couch charm, how stinking CUTE! The slime even matches! I think this is the best charm/slime combo I have ever seen, a big standing ovation for Rodem on this incredibly whimsical and charmingly presented slime!
The scent was a relaxing and homely peachy perfume with notes of bubble bath and baby powder. The drizzle was good!! True cloud is a hard slime to make to spec and, in light of that, a lot of companies don’t really bother with it. I’m so happy Rodem did and did such a great job. It was very soft and plush with gorgeous blankety folds and I have everything crossed they make more of this texture soon. I have no idea what I’ll do with the delightful little rug other than treasure it forever! Haha!
Even just looking at these photos as I type out the review I'm smiling again! I wish this slime was my dressing gown! haha!
​

• ONIGIRI (white glue foam chip, savoury black sesame.)

Another incredibly interesting and unique savoury scent. This was definitely giving sesame seed/oil, albeit a bit more subtle than the real thing. I would say your mileage may very on this scent, it won’t be for everyone but it is certainly worth trying for a whole new experience.
This was a medium thickness, glossy texture which was very chewy and clicky. The foam pieces were quite hard and angular but crushable if you really go for it. This was a very novel floam texture which made a great change from the usual balls. This was exploding with fantastic crackles and pops, top tier sounds. I think the angular foam is even better for trapping air as this slime sounded like a tiny elephant stampeding in a bubble wrap factory! I got some big air pocket type bubbles from this one too!
https://preview.redd.it/t6eh86yigi0d1.jpg?width=5986&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5954f9b63ef8b82f6b18c833abed2b45aa816ce0
​

• FRENCH APPLE PIE (white glue/snow/fluffy, French apple pie scented)

The apple and the crust both come through in the scent, as well as a little hint of caramel (which is very typical of a French tarte tatin, well done Rodem!) The little doilies in the bottoms of the clay pots (even though the clay is wrapped) are yet another gorgeous little touch that impress me about these guys, I love their intimate attention to detail.
The clay was again super soft and pleasant to squish into the nice, clicky base. This was a lovely, chubby, stretchy slime. It was a little on the thicker side and created satisfying farty bubble pops.
C'est bon!
​

• SAKURA SAND (sand slime, sakura flower scented)

This is an absolutely beautiful scent. A slightly cotton candy leaning sweet Sakura. I love pink, I love sand slimes and I love Sakura scents so this really pleased me! Unfortunately I found it very sticky and loose so added a lot of activator until it was more resistant and was able to get it where it needed to be. Once I did it had great bubble pops and was a very sand-dense and crunchy/sizzly sounding slime, the exact sort of sand slime I like.
https://preview.redd.it/z24t4ms5hi0d1.jpg?width=5704&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38d0ba14bbeeec427f15096407d5c23c0c9f0f67
​

• STRAWBERRY MATCHA SUGAR CAKE (snow fizz, strawberry matcha scented)

A nice scent with both strawberry and Matcha coming through. This was an extremely fluffy, airy snowfizz with tons of fantastic ASMR sounds, so fizzy, sizzly and fun to inflate and tingle-inducing to deflate. It started off feeling like a light, sugary super airy scrub and got denser as I played. Another great slime.
https://preview.redd.it/2yfdnspdhi0d1.jpg?width=5788&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2498da365a7c185a377dd2a8b7bbf12c9b80e52e

​

• TANGHULU BALL (big foam ball, strawberry-ade)

This had a very subtle strawberryade scent. The giant floam balls were a total novelty to me and SO much fun! Who doesn’t love the feeling of big balls in their hands!? 🙊 The base was quite loose and wonderful for plentiful crackles and pops. I really enjoyed this!
https://preview.redd.it/37msqhrnhi0d1.jpg?width=8440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65fa12490f41bec1c7c30cea77764e8082b63382
​

• STEAMED BUN (chewy mochi texture, sweet red bean BingSu)

This was an extremely savoury scent, there is some sweetness there but it was very much umami focused and I really enjoyed it! I was getting notes of red bean with a saltiness.
This is a moist, super clicky, jiggly slime with two large sponges in it that crush like jelly cubes. This is extremely bubbly and full of juicy wet crackles and high pitched big pops. You can create absolutely gargantuan air bubbles with this texture. If you, like me, don’t typically enjoy loose jiggly slimes, there is a damn good chance that you will enjoy this as I loved it! It was just so multifaceted with what it offered. First, you have the unusual scent which is pretty intriguing and different. Then you have the two giant cubes to crush which is always nice. Then you have the joy of the crackles, pops and loud clicks. Finally, you have the enormous bubbles! You just can’t not have fun with this!
That bubble (slubble?) was bigger than me!!
​

• PLOP DUCKLING (Snow creme, lemon meringue scented)

This has a gorgeous and accurate sweet and creamy lemon meringue scent. It’s so much fun watching the little duck’s butt slowly dive into the slime when you pop him on there.
This was exactly the texture and scent I fancied finishing on and quite by chance it was! I couldn’t find Rodem’s description for this one’s texture until later so I had no idea what to expect as I had forgotten, what a joy!!! This combined into a really lovely, soft sage green. This is another light, soft, squishy, chewy and chubby inflating texture that ends up airy and puffy. I absolutely loved it! Unfortunately that is one more image than I am able to embed on Reddit so please click here to see it!
With Rodem, nothing is fully predictable and every texture brings with it a nice surprise. This is especially pleasing to experience when you place big orders. There is nothing more disappointing to me than buying a lot of slimes from a company just to discovered there is hardly any nuance between them and the experience is basically a rinse and repeat one, texturally identical and/or predictable. Rodem break the mold and throw in some very unusual elements and scents. Their themes are so well thought out and utterly charming and beautifully presented. They produce so many textures and master them, each one designed with so much love and attentiveness.
I really adore this company and feel they work hard to bring joy and excellence to the slime community. Recently one of the more commercial slime companies was caught using Rodem’s brand as a key word on their google ads to steer business away from them and onto their own website which I thought was in very poor taste. It is however testament to the fact that they knew Rodem was a company slime enthusiasts were talking about. And so we should be! It is my pleasure and honour to continue supporting this wonderful company. I'm so excited to see what they come up with next!
I loved pretty much every slime and the ones I didn’t were more so a personal taste thing than a quality control issue. There were a couple I found less handleable or with activation issues (Emmental and Sakura Sand) but that is pretty damn good going for an order this huge and the sand one was easily fixable. A well deserved 9.9/10

Picked up at a local thrift for $12 in Virginia, so no provided history or info. The claw/ball feet always draw me in. Had to re-shim one of the wobbly feet and there was some very crumbly paper wedged in there. Looked like a newsprint ad for rugs with sizes (72x99 for $10 was the only bits I could piece together).
Can I use a carnauba wax wood polish on this or will it make a mess out of it?
Last pic is of the center of the table top - veneer splitting? Glue and clamp it or will I make a mess out of that too
Thanks yall professional old stuff connoisseurs!

My pet chewed my needoh ball all the clear goo slime that’s so sticky (not even slime it’s practically glue) has been stuck on my rug and I can’t get it out!! The rug was made by my mom almost 40 years ago and I really want to get it out- any tips? It’s really cemented on there and I tried picking it up with a paper towel at first and now there’s paper bits stuck on it, I can’t even scrape it off.

We bought a family member’s home with nice honey oak (we think it’s oak?) hardwood flooring under lots of stained and gross carpet. The home is a colonial built in 1965. We have done this in other rooms and was able to sand it down and put a coat of polyurethane on and it looks great, but this room seems to have more spots than the others. The spots also aren’t in the best position, some won’t be covered by an area rug (see top right near the next room, the stains are just not in a good spot).
The spots are most likely from dogs, or young children spilling things. For at least 40 years this hardwood was never exposed and there was always carpet overtop. I love the wood, I prefer hardwood, we have pets and I just don’t want carpet.
Can we sand out the stains if we rent one of those big sanders from Home Depot or something? Then do a coat of polyurethane? There’s also lots of dirt and glue stuck to the floor and I’m not sure what to use to clean that off as well. Any tips or advice would be so greatly appreciated!!

-------------------------
Nearly three decades after its initial release, the blockbuster video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been given new life through a remake tailored for modern platforms like Netflix. While the gripping story, expansive open world, and gritty action that made San Andreas an instant classic remain at the heart of the experience, the Netflix version elevates the title with cutting-edge graphical upgrades and improved controls to match what players have come to expect from the iconic franchise.

VISUALLY STUNNING ENVIRONMENTS AND SETTING

One of the most immediately striking features of the San Andreas remake is the complete visual overhaul bringing its diverse landscapes to life like never before. From the sun-soaked streets of Los Santos to the arid expanses of desert wilderness, the world of San Andreas pops with an extraordinary level of detail, from intricately modeled urban neighborhoods down to individual blades of grass swaying gently in the countryside breeze. Advanced lighting effects cast new depth across the landscape, while boosted draw distances fill the horizon with shapely silhouettes of distant terrain. These enhancements work in tandem to fully immerse players in an earthy, lived-in depiction of 1990s-era California that still stands apart from nearly any other open world created since.

AN ICONIC AND EMOTIONALLY RESONANT STORY

While the sights and sounds of reimagined San Andreas make their own impression, the narrative glue holding the experience together also retains its dramatic weight decades later. Protagonist Carl “CJ” Johnson embarks on a deeply personal journey as he returns home to Los Santos reeling from his mother’s murder, only to find his former gang and family need him more than ever as threats encroach from all sides. It’s a powerful redemption story filled with action set pieces and poignant moments centered around themes of crime, police corruption, gang violence, revenge, betrayal, and fraternal bonds. Supporting characters like CJ’s brother Sweet, crooked cop Officer Tenpenny, and many other fan favorites received similar visual touch-ups cementing their unique identities. Though players may know the beats, CJ’s reluctant hero’s arc still grabs hold with cinematic flair and emotionally charged moments that stand out from typical video game fare.

DYNAMIC GAMEPLAY ROOTED IN PLAYER CHOICE

However, the engaging story acts as just one pillar holding up the multi-faceted experience Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas offers those diving into its sandbox gameplay. CJ himself is highly customizable based on player decisions governing his clothes, hairstyles, gang affiliations, vehicle preferences and driving abilities that collectively influence how he interacts with the world. Vehicles range widely from souped-up tuner cars to rugged military hardware like tanks, while the series’ signature flexible mission structure means no two playthroughs will play out exactly alike. These elements fold into innovative territory control mechanics where CJ can fight alongside or against the Grove Street Families and other gangs while claiming neighborhoods block-by-block via intense shootouts. Mini-games, side activities like basketball or casino gambling, collectibles hunting, and random world events further bolster the staggering amount of content packed into San Andreas’ open world.

INTUITIVE CONTROLS AND MECHANICS REFINED FOR TODAY

Tying everything together are the Android-friendly controls and targeting mechanics derived from later Grand Theft Auto releases to ensure the remake feels instantly familiar to both series veterans and newcomers alike. Whether engaged in furious firefights against enemy gangs and SWAT teams, epic high-speed pursuits from the reworked wanted system, or simply exploring the sights, the game handles smoothly with well-tuned inputs. Coupled with quality-of-life improvements lent from its sequel Grand Theft Auto V – such as visible health bars and more forgiving vehicle handling – San Andreas plays better than ever while retaining everything that established it as one of gaming’s most impactful sandboxes.
Nearly 20 years since its debut, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas reigns supreme as not only one of Rockstar Games’ most beloved achievements, but one of the medium’s most unforgettable interactive storytelling experiences period. The Netflix release expands its reach to new audiences craving a gritty, impactful crime saga backed by best-in-class open world design – updated masterfully to push hardware like never before. Those who missed CJ’s seminal trip through California gang culture would be remiss not taking a ride with this explosive remake.

Made some Nuka Cola today based on the classic designs from Fallout 3/NV. Really easy to do and only cost $15 to make.
Just need the glass coke bottles, some clear dry glue, scissors and a printer. I just used A4 plain paper and cut the labels and caps out and glued them on, but you could definitely use higher quality paper or actual label material.
For the Nuka Dark, the logos that I found only existed for the bottle rocket shaped bottles that were introduced in Fallout 4, I couldn’t find any “wrap around” labels so to make it work for the classic bottle shape, I had to use a rectangular design I found as a background, then I placed the Nuka Dark label on top of that.
For the Quantum I used a Diet Coke, emptied it and then cleaned the cap and bottle with Dettol and bleach, when it dry put 1-2 drops of blue food colouring in it and fill it with water and voila! You have a bottle of Quantum. The shops where I live only stocked in the screw top coke bottles, if you only have access to crown cap bottles, be careful opening the bottle so you don’t bend the cap too much and once the water and food colouring are in you can gently hammer the cap back on the bottle.
Once you’ve glued the cap and label on the bottle, let them dry then give them a coat or two of the same clear dry glue to give them a bit of a varnish.
A side note: The Mexican coke bottles work great so you can use them, the text on those bottles is printed on so it can be scraped off easily with a knife. Any other coke bottle other than the Mexican ones have the text baked into the glass so it cannot be removed at all so you need to make sure your labels cover all the text on the bottle.
Links below to the images I used but you can easily find more designs on google. I didn’t make any of these designs so shoutout to those who did.

Hey everybody! I released my ultimate mock draft a couple of days ago in video format, but because I love you guys, I took the time yesterday to write it all up for you guys to read, because I appreciate that people actually take the time.
.
I only had enough characters on here for the write-ups on the half of the first round + the three picks for the non-first-round teams. You can listen to the rest here and any support with the algorithm is greatly appreciated!
.
Putting this thing together was as challenging as I can ever remember at this point, because of the uncertainty starting so early. I’m not going to shock anybody with the first overall pick here, but number two appears to be a coin-flip and then from three to six, we could see a bunch of movement, which of course dictates everything that follows.
So I might still talk about some potential adjustments that may be coming based on more information coming out, but let’s have some fun here! This is going to be a predictive exercise, meaning based on what I hear, read and believe will happen, rather than what I think teams should do. For my thoughts on about the 150 top prospects, I have detailed scouting reports on all of them at my site halilsrealfootballtalk.com, and in my most recent video, I talked about some of my personal favorites.
Here, we’re going to make our way through the top-32 selections plus fits for the three teams who don’t currently own a first-round pick.
And as I already teased, I’m not going for any hot takes or shockers here first overall …
.
.
1. Chicago Bears – Caleb Williams, QB, USC
Because of all the intrigue around who will be QB2 and some wide-ranging opinions on how these six names generally discussed as first-round picks will ultimately come off the board, there actually hasn’t been a ton of talk about Caleb Williams on the field at least. To me, he’s the best quarterback prospect I’ve personally evaluated in the eight years I’ve really done work on the draft. The backyard-style of play and Houdini-like play extension stuff is truly special and why he gets a lot of the Patrick Mahomes comparisons, but what isn’t discussed enough is how clean his mechanics are, the fact he fights to stay within the pocket and how well he can operate within structure, if he has answers for what the defense is doing. Last year, the protection and receivers he was working with at USC, along with head-scratching offensive designs, have blurred the mind of some people. But I would be shocked if he didn’t at least turn into a quality starter in Chicago for a long time, with the infrastructure they’ve now built around him, and he has a chance to be called the best signal-caller in the franchise’s history by the time he signs his second contract. Hope is coming, Bears fans!
.
2. Washington Commanders – Drake Maye, QB, North Carolina
This is where things get interesting, because we’ve had three different front-runners to go second overall since Caleb became the overwhelming favorite in terms of betting odds. Right now, I believe it’s a toss-up between North Carolina’s Drake Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels, and since I have Maye graded significantly higher, that’s what breaks the tie for me. I’ve been saying that he is the most overthought prospect in this draft. In terms of size, arm talent, composure and mobility, this is what the NFL is always looking for. Yet, all of a sudden, he’s the guy people nit-pick like crazy when it comes to things like locking out his front-foot, not always having his base aligned and some of the oddly missed throws. The high-level stuff he brings in terms of layered throws down the field, the off-platform deliveries and the timely chain-moving runs easily make me look beyond those and I can live with him being a little bit too aggressive of a decision-maker. With the continued investments into the offensive line and the pass-catching crew they’ve assembled, I think he has the pieces around him to be successful. I’m just worried about what we’ll get from Kliff Kingsbury, who coincidentally was responsible for some of the issues we saw on Caleb Williams’ tape as the OC for the Trojans, which can induce more hero-ball tendencies, as we discuss these top two names. But Maye to me has been QB2 for a calendar year now.
.
3. New England Patriots – Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State
We’ve heard about the Patriots being “open for business” with this third overall pick, kicking off what could be three or four straight trades, but I actually think they stick and pick here. Unless the Giants love whoever the Commanders don’t take and move up three spots here, New England will likely be in contact with one of the three teams just outside the top-10 and that probably takes them out of the range for Notre Dame offensive tackle Joe Alt and the trio of top wide receivers. So in this scenario, I don’t think they get an offer that blows them away and take the slam-dunk player in Marvin Harrison Jr. He has nimble feet off the line, is really strong to break free from physical corners, weirdly flexible in his ankles to make precise cuts for being 6’4”, 205 pounds, tracks the ball exceptionally well and his body-control at that composition is just bonkers. He doesn’t have elite long speed and the reason some people have Malik Nabers ahead of him as the top receiver is that he doesn’t offer a lot of creativity in the open field, but he’s as complete and pro-ready a pass-catcher as we’ve seen enter the league in a decade. The Patriots haven’t built up the support system for a rookie QB yet, but this is a critical building block for if they end up picking early again next year, as they finally get a legit number one, to go with the complementary pieces they have in place.
.
4. Las Vegas Raiders (via ARZ) – Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
Alright, let’s get this party started! The Cardinals have been connected as the Marvin Harrison team pretty much since the draft order was locked in. If he’s available for them, I’d think it would take massive draft capital to move off him, but in this case he’s off the board and general manager Monti Ossenfort will be very happy to trade down. The Vikings have the highest draft capital to offer here and there could be some other teams in the mix, but I have the Raiders jumping them and taking Jayden Daniels. In this scenario, to move up nine spots, they also need to throw in the 44th overall pick and their first-rounder next year. However, I had to take the connection between Daniels and the guy who originally helped recruit him at Arizona State in now-Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce. I’m not sure if they would be this aggressive for any other QB, but I think the Heisman trophy winner lighting up the “Death Star” in Vegas should also have owner Mark Davis on board. I don’t know if this is a plug-and-play team yet, but they’ve looked at themselves differently, handing out a huge contract to Christian Wilkins in free agency and Davante Adams still there as a star receiver, who I imagine catching a bunch of the slot fades we saw Daniels air out for those LSU guys. I’m a little concerned about the development plan of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, coming over from Chicago, where he was working with a similar type of profile as more of a one-read-and-go player in Justin Fields, but this possibility isn’t talked about enough, I believe.
.
5. Minnesota Vikings (via LAC) – J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan
And we keep the train rolling, as the Chargers at number five have been the obvious trade-down candidate the entire way pretty much. Could they just stick here and take the top offensive tackle or whoever they prefer as WR2 on their board, if they don’t love any of the offers made to them? – Sure. But, they’re motivated to add more shots here and the Vikings didn’t set themselves up this way if they didn’t want to get their guy from Michigan. No team has been linked more frequently to McCarthy than Minnesota, and even though I believe that if Drake Maye is available at number three, they’ll absolutely be calling New England, this just makes way too much sense. They swap their two first-rounders (11th and 23rd overall) plus a second next year for this pick and if there’s a team set up to get the most out of J.J., it’s them. Anybody who’s taken a look at my personal big board (which you can check out at halilsrealfootballtalk.com), knows I’m significantly lower on him than consensus and I think it’s crazy that we talk about him in this range, but with how long this has been in the works seemingly, this doesn’t feel like a Will Levis-type of smokescreen. This is one of the best situations we’ve seen a rookie QB dropped into, where he has star receivers, a good offensive line, linked at the hip with a tremendous young play-caller and having Sam Darnold there, to not force him into the action right away. McCarthy’s willingness to attack the middle of the field and the ability to deliver the ball accurately on the run with his flexible arm, when they move the pocket, would fit very well.
.
6. New York Giants – Malik Nabers, WR, LSU
The top four quarterbacks are off the board and while the noise around the Giants being ready to move on from Daniel Jones seems to be getting louder, I don’t think they love either of the two still available at this point. So instead I’m going to go chalk here and give them with what would be the number one receiver in the vast majority of draft classes in Malik Nabers. There’s been some discussion around how well his personality would fit in with a big-market team, especially with how the marriage between the Mara/Tisch franchise and Odell Beckham Jr. eventually came to an end, but Nabers provides a dynamism on the offensive side of the ball that this team has been severely missing since they moved on from OBJ. They already have a bunch of designated slot receivers on the roster, which is where this guy primarily operated from in 2023, but while I prefer him off the ball, I don’t have too many questions about play-strength and I think he would be an awesome flanker. The instant acceleration pops off the screen, the way he either threaten vertically and then snap off routes or lure defenders into stopping their feet momentarily and then blows by them is rare. His focus and coordination to haul in passes even through contact at just six foot stands out and then he’s an absolute game-breaker once the ball is in his hands.
.
7. Tennessee Titans – Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame
Who have thrown their names out as another potential trade-down candidate, but I’ll take another lay-up in what otherwise is a highly challenging draft to project. Personally, I have Olu Fashanu just ahead of Alt in my offensive tackle rankings, but this is still where he stacks up for me on the big board and I’d think he’s number one for the majority of NFL teams. 6’9”, 320 pounds, with just over 34-inch arms, checked all the boxes from an athleticism standpoint at the combine and then he’s still improving, as a 21-year-old former tight-end, who has only been a full-time offensive lineman for the last three seasons with the Fighting Irish. Tennessee has let us know what they think of themselves, throwing big money at Calvin Ridley, still a solid sum for Tony Pollard, trading for and locking up L’Jarius Sneed on the defensive side of the ball – they want to see what they have in Will Levis during this rookie QB contract window. New Titans head-man Brian Callahan hands a potential future All-Pro to his dad and one of the great O-line coaches in Bill Callahan. No need to overthink this or get cute here.
.
8. Arizona Cardinals (via LV and ATL) – Rome Odunze, WR, Washington
At number eight we would typically see the Falcons making their selection, but I have the Arizona Cardinals repeat what they did a year ago, when they allowed the Texans to trade up to third overall for Will Anderson Jr. but then popped back up for the offensive tackle of their choice in Paris Johnson. This time around they secure themselves the last of the “big three” wide receivers. For the move up by 5 spots, they give up the first of their 3 third-rounders at 66th overall plus one of their fives. The reason they have to do this, is that I can’t really see Rome make it past the Bears or Jets as the next two teams up and this way they still secure themselves a legit number one, with what they currently have at the position. Odunze is incredibly smooth at 6’3”, 210 pounds, who can elude press-attempts but also has the strength to fight through contact. Looking at the Reception Perception profile from Matt Harmon, he finished between above-average-to-elite on every route he ran and then his body-control and ball-skills are just insane. The way he adjusts to passes down the field and hjow he positions himself to win through contact is illustrated very well by the fact that he had a 75% contested catch rate. While he’s not quite as physical, we’ve already seen this type of profile match very well with Kyler Murray when he was working with DeAndre Hopkins and now the other receivers they have in Arizona slot into their more natural pecking order.
.
9. Chicago Bears – Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama
This of course really throws off the Bears here and they may be scrambling a little bit, because Rome would’ve been pretty much perfect to round out their receiver room. With just four total picks in this entire draft, they certainly can’t give up any more however and if anything should be moving back. Where do I have them going is the presumptive EDGE1 based on consensus boards across the league. Once Montez Sweat arrived in Chicago at the trade deadline, this defense went from 30th overall all the way up to 5th over the final nine games in terms of EPA per play. They locked up their All-Pro corner Jaylon Johnson and brought in free agent safety Kevin Byard, but by allowing Yannick Ngakoue to walk, they’re looking for that more bendy speed-rushing profile across from Sweat. Dallas Turner tested well above the 90th percentile in the 40 and the jumps, to pair with 34.5-inch arms and a lot of jolt in those hands for that physical stature. That’s why I actually believe he could be a high-quality run defender and at this point he’s actually best converting speed-to-power as a pass-rusher. If he continues to improve his hand-combats to win at the top of the rush, with his explosion up the field and quicks to cross-face blockers or create softer edges by threatening inside, he could be a double-digit sack producer in multiple years of his rookie deal.
.
10. New York Jets – Troy Fautanu, OT/IOL, Washington
Rounding out the top ten, I really thought about closing the chapter on the premiere pass-catchers with tight-end Brock Bowers, who seems to be the clear favorite to be the pick here, but if the Jets are serious about winning this year and honest with themselves about where they could once again be vulnerable, they need to continue investing into the offensive line and I have them going with the versatile blocker from Washington. They have their choice here of OT2 and could go several different directions, but I believe Fautanu presents the most logical choice here. Looking at Gang Green’s currently slated starting five, you can win with that group if you have it for a full 17, but Tyron Smith has played a total of 30 games over the past four seasons combiined and Alijah Vera-Tucker has only logged 12 starts since his rookie year in 2021. So even if whoever they select here doesn’t start day one theoretically, you probably need him to fill in at one of those spots sooner rather than later. And that’s where I love the match with Fautanu, because while all but two of his 31 career starts came at left tackle, I feel best about his ability to take snaps at four of the five spots at least, because of the easy movement skills he presents, whether that’s sliding laterally to mirror pass-rushers or climbing up into the defensive backfield in the run game.
.
11. Los Angeles Chargers (via MIN) – J.C. Latham, OT, Alabama
This sets off our run on offensive linemen to some degree, with seven of 15 selections from pick ten onwards being from that group. The Chargers were already linked to this player early on and I wouldn’t be shocked if they took him fifth overall, but in this case they can add two more valuable selections and still get J.C. Latham. They could certainly go Brock Bowers here without a difference-making tight-end on the roster or take their top corner, but the messaging by Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz has been clear, wanting to become a “bigger, more physical team”. Well, how does a 6’6”, 340-pound All-SEC right tackle from Alabama sound? Latham packs a ton of raw force in those 11-inch hands and can unlock that lower half to dig defenders out of the lane, 35-inch arms extend his range as a pass-protector and when he puts those clamps on you, he puts you in a cage. Funnily, a couple of bad plays from their College Football Playoff game against Harbaugh’s Wolverine is what people refer to negatively with him, but he played a really good game otherwise and I think offensive Greg Roman is licking his chops at the possibility of swapping out Trey Pipkins – off a regression year – for this guy.
.
12. Jacksonville Jaguars (via DEN) – Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo
This is where I make another trade and of the ones I’ve done so far, this is not cleanest one to predict. However, there’s no player that truly sticks out to me for the Broncos in terms of a need they want to address and where value exists. They could absolutely target this player here themselves, but I think Jaguars GM Trent Baalke will be even more intrigued with this profile and be willing to trade up the top corner in this class. And the Broncos should be very interested in getting a second-round pick back (since they don’t currently own one themselves) in exchange for their fourth plus one of their two fives, as they move down five spots. Mitchell is right there in terms of the measurables you’re looking for at the position, has 4.33 speed, major ball-production, dominated at the MAC level and absolutely rocked this pre-draft process. The two days he spent at the Senior Bowl were as clean as I’ve ever seen for a corner, with how easy he could de- and re-accelerate, wants to locate and make plays on the ball and while he played a lot of off-zone coverage, he has 10-inch hands and the mirror skills to project as someone who could become very effective in press. So while they have Tyson Campbell on the final year of his rookie deal with a decision looming, Quinyon can jump into the spot of Darious Williams – who they shockingly released early on this offseason – playing off, with vision on the quarterback in that field-side role he also excelled at with the Rockets.
.
13. Atlanta Falcons (via ARZ and LV) – Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA
So the Falcons move back five spots in this scenario, because while EDGE is the clear favorite in terms of positions they want to address, they probably feel confident that they can get one of those big three names at the top here still – and with how this played out, Alabama’s Dallas Turner is the only one off the board. So the decision here came down to Florida State’s Jared Verse and the guy I actually picked for them is the reigning Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year. Who if you take away the injury concern, I believe has a very strong case to be the best defensive player in this draft at this moment. His technical advancement with all the different hand-combats in his toolbox, how he counters the approach of tackles against him and is able to build up comprehensive rush plans in those individual matchups, is about as good as you’re going to find from a college player at that position. Not the type of freakish athlete or has the length of Turner, but I don’t have any concerns with the functional movement skills. He’s not a firm edge-setter by the book in the run game, but the block-deconstruction and ability to create quick stops are on display. Latu gets to reunite with his former defensive coordinator at Washington in Jimmy Lake, who along with Raheem Morris will value his ability to peel off into coverage occasionally, on top immediately becoming their best true edge rusher.
.
14. New Orleans Saints – Olu Fashanu, OT, Penn State
You kind of know this pick is going to be an offensive tackle or that power-profile edge defender they love so much. I went with the former, because of how pressing a need it is, giving them the All-Big Ten left tackle from the Nittany Lions. The Saints’ tackle situation somewhat quietly is an absolute catastrophe. Trevor Penning unfortunately has been even more problematic in his first season of action than I thought he might be when they traded up for him in the draft two years ago, getting benched eventually, with Andrus Peat moving out to left tackle from guard – whose only remaining presence on the roster is his 13-million-dollar dead cap hit. And then, we recently got news on Ryan Ramczyk on the right side with his degenerative knee issues, which could lead to an early retirement. Fashanu is actually my number one tackle, right there with Notre Dame’s Joe Alt, and he would’ve been a top-ten pick in last year’s draft by all accounts. Fashanu is one of those names who has just been overthought during the process and while he didn’t show a whole lot of improvement in the run game, where he’s still more of a positional blocker than a road-grader, he doesn’t have many missed assignments in that regard and then he has the ability to become an elite pass-protector, thanks to his impeccable balance and quick hands, even if they are weirdly small. My high-end comparison for him is Texans Pro Bowler Laremy Tunsil.
.
15. Indianapolis Colts – Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
Corner is certainly something GM Chris Ballard could be looking to address, after they were just throwing day-three picks and UDFAs out there last year, to see who sticks. Yet, this is where the Brocks Bowers slide stops. This has been one of the more fun pairings I’ve envisioned throughout the process, between Bowers and head coach Shane Steichen. The Colts have a couple of young tight-ends they like in Jelani Woods, Kylen Granson and even Drew Ogletree, along with veteran Mo Alie-Cox still under contract. So this doesn’t jump out as a spot on the depth chart, where they don’t have anybody of note. With that being said, that designation doesn’t do Bowers justice and it’s more about the ways I can imagine him being used by a creative offensive coordinator. He can obviously stretch the seams and run away from guys on crossing routes, but he can split out as a single receiver on the backside of the formation and win on all three levels with the way he can efficiently break off routes. The hand-eye coordination and strong hands in tight areas stand out, but then it’s that extra gear after the catch and the horsepower to drag tacklers along with him that made him a man amongst boys even in the SEC. Now you add him to those two towers they have on the outside in Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce, Josh Downs as a quick-footed player in the slot and a guy in Bowers who can eat over the middle of the field, for Anthony Richardson to work with in year two, this offense could really take off.
.
16. Seattle Seahawks – Byron Murphy II, IDL, Texas
When we get to the Seahawks in these mock drafts, typically you see them go offensive line or with the edge rusher that falls to them, but I actually think they address the interior defensive line with who established himself as the top guy on NFL boards once he tested off the charts at the combine. There are still a couple of offensive tackles from what I believe is the top-six available here, but with Mike Macdonald coming over from Baltimore to take over this franchise, I believe he wants to bring them back to the glory days of the Legion of Boom and what you do on the back-end doesn’t matter as much when you feel like you’re constantly being compromised by having to put more focus on the front. Seattle has finished 26th and 29th respectively in rush EPA defensively these past two years, thanks to a combination of front dynamics, slow linebackers and a lack of consistent play from the nose-tackle spot. And I’m not saying Murphy is going to be lining up at zero-technique for them primarily and single-handedly fixing their run defense, but he actually spent more time there than his teammate T'Vondre Sweat, who has a good 60 pounds on him. This guy has an innate feel for where pressure is being applied from and you see him at times with his body contorted, knee just inches off the ground anchoring against double-teams. Then if the offense spreads them out, he can line up in the B-gap, come off the ball like a submarine under the reach of the guard or take that guy into the quarterback’s lap. Right now, he’s playing a little bit out of control, but you let him learn from Leonard Williams and Dre’Mont Jones, he could turn into a legit game-wrecker.

That brings the first round to a close, and you can read over it here again, but I did want to just briefly hit on a couple of …
.

Other players I considered:

.
Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington – I could absolutely see a team jump back into the first round to select him, secure the potential of a fith-year option, but with Penix you already have a guy that is 24 years old as a rookie and we know plenty about what he is, even though we may not be fully sure what the transition to the pros looks like, and the injury history at Indiana is of course concerning. 34 to the Patriots is very much possible or I could see the Raiders potentially trading up early in the second round, if they don’t end up making a move early, very much in the mold of what happened to Will Levis coming out of Kentucky last year, as the second pick of day two.
.
A few other receivers I was thinking about, but we’ll get to one here in a second. Just felt the need to mention Xavier Worthy from Texas, because the NFL obviously loves speed and this is officially the fastest man to ever enter the league – so I don’t expect him to hang around for very long if he doesn’t actually go in the first round.
.
Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama – My number 3 corner, worthy of going somewhere in the 20s. I was kind of going back and forth with him and Wiggins – who is just ahead in my rankings – for who the Lions would pick at 32 and with how much single-high they like to run, he would’ve also made a lot of sense for the Steelers, but recovering from the foot surgery and not having done the agility drills at his pro day, as good as I think he is at anticipating routes and disrupting receivers off the line, in this case he has to settle for early 2nd round.
.
And two longshots that I wanted to bring up here quickly:
Marshawn Kneeland, EDGE, Western Michigan – Had an excellent Senior Bowl week, followed up by some great combine testing at 6’3”, around 270 pounds. Someone with incredible play-strength and untapped potential as a player who wasn’t always put in position for major production.
Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M – In a fairly underwhelming linebacker class, he stands out in terms of athletic ability and some of the high-end plays he put on tape, as a guy that can shoot gaps & create TFLs in the run game, blitz from different angles & has the loose movement skills to make plays in coverage. N.C. State’s Payton Wilson I have just ahead of Cooper as LB1, but of course he comes with a pretty scary medical history
.
.
.
But now let’s still show some love to the …
.

Teams outside the first round:

.
33. Carolina Panthers – Ladd McConkey, WR, Georgia
This is very much in-line with what you see out there in mock drafts, with Ladd being a guy right on the fringe of late first/early second round. I think there’s enough out there by now with people being clowned for comparing him to all the other well-known white receivers we’ve watched in recent years. He can certainly win on option routes and pick away against matchups in the slot, but he played nearly 80% of snaps on the outside last season and will be lining up at Z in two-wide receiver sets. Threatens vertically off the line, great ability to alter speeds and giving defenders false indicators, solid hands, routinely makes the first man miss after the catch and a smart, invested blocker. He’s my WR6. I also strongly considered Ricky Pearsall from Florida (who I have right behind him) – another light-skinned dude who is labelled as a slot only, but brings the same kind of speed component and I think can absolutely play as a flanker. I just think Ladd projects as a little bit more of a volume guy for a team that has targets to spare, based on what they have on the roster currently.
.
42. Houston Texans – Braden Fiske, IDL, Florida State
Looking at this Texans roster, there’s not a whole lot you’re considering as actual needs in terms of starting players, but rather depth on the offensive line and secondary – which I believe they can address later. Someone who could get on the field early and make real impact for them is Fiske. They brought in Foley Fatukasi and Denico Autry in free agency, along with Mario Edwards Jr. as another guy with inside-out flexibility. However, in terms of natural three-techniques playing on the edge of the guard and creating penetration – which DeMeco Ryans and defensive coordinator Matt Burke have valued highly during their time in San Francisco – they don’t really have anybody that you’d project to play volume snaps for them currently. I believe there are some concerns about Fiske’s ability to deal with double-teams and being outreached by blockers at around 290 pounds with 31-inch arms. However, the ball get-off is right up there with Texas’ Byron Murphy for best in the class among the D-tackles, packs a nice club-rip move, capable of cross-facing guards and plays with a relentless motor. He may not even have to play a whole lot of first downs for this Houston team, but then he’ll boost that interior rush in designated passing situations.
.
54. Cleveland Browns – Junior Colson, LB, Michigan
Finally, I did want to bring a linebacker into the equation, which was one of two positions – along with safety (unless you count Iowa’s Cooper DeJean as such) – where we might not see anybody get selected until this point. The Browns are very much like the Texans in terms of a roster where the starting-22 offense and defense combined is very complete. They just have more standout players I’d argue, but quarterback obviously is a much bigger question mark for them. As we look at this Cleveland defense, which finished first or second in pretty much every meaningful metric, they’re bringing back basically everybody from that group a year ago other than Anthony Walker Jr., who’s been the guy that’s been kind of a glue piece at middle linebacker, but they haven’t been willing to commit to, signing one-year deals each of the past three seasons, and he’s signed to Miami this offseason. Now you’re looking at Jordan Hicks or Devin Bush to fill that spot. Junior Colson should be an upgrade over either one of them, because he can actually stay on the field for all three downs. Rarely gets caught out of position, excellent short-area burst to fill gaps in the run game, sturdy to deal with bigger bodies in traffic, can cover backs and tight-ends in man, plus then he’s this rugged blitzer, who can help free up lanes as the actual set-up man on pressure looks.
.
.
That wraps up this exercise for me and kind of puts a cap on the pre-draft season at least, as we’re just days away from the big show and I honestly can’t wait! Feel free to let me know how much you love or hate what I did for your team or anything else you’re interested in down in the comments!

Need to remove this dark glue from a wooden floor. It was there since before we purchased the house (and was under a rug when we inspected).
Could it contain asbestos? How do I get it checked? Any recommendations

I recently gave the Thorn Archery Crossbow Broadheads a try, and I must say, they've been a game-changer in my hunting adventures! The hidden blade technology truly impresses - it's like the broadheads disappear when in flight, only to reveal their sharp, bone-crushing secrets upon impact.
These babies are perfect for those crossbows with top speeds of 350 fps, and they've made quite the statement in the field. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found a perfect match for these bad boys, as the blades seem to have a knack for vanishing without a trace - leaving no blood trail behind. But hey, I'm still on the hunt for the perfect quarry, and I'll keep you posted on any updates!

🔗Rage Xtreme Turkey Broadhead: High-Performance Hunting Accessory

​
https://preview.redd.it/a35h46syasuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4604a3b1ba2bf4b69281660e865324643242b5c5
As a passionate turkey hunter, I've had the chance to use Rage Xtreme Turkey Broadhead in my latest hunting expedition. It has made quite an impression on me. The first thing that caught my attention was the unique design of the broadhead, with the anodized aluminum ferrule and meat hook cut-on-contact tip. It's a sight to behold and adds a level of confidence when aiming at your target.
I was also pleased with the swept-back blade angle and the Extreme series shock collar. These features allow for a precise and reliable deployment of the blades, ensuring that I'm making the most out of every shot. The 100 grain weight provides an optimal balance between accuracy and penetration, further enhancing the overall performance of the broadhead.
While I didn't experience any drawbacks during my hunting trip, I have heard from other hunters who've had issues with the broadhead bouncing off targets instead of penetrating them. This issue seems to be more common when using the broadhead at closer range, particularly with a crossbow.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience using the Rage Xtreme Turkey Broadhead, and I believe it can be a valuable tool in any turkey hunter's arsenal, provided that you are mindful of its specific characteristics and limitations.

🔗Rage X-Treme RC 2-Blade Crossbow Broadheads - 2 Pack (100 grain, Stainless Steel, Anodized Aluminum)

​
https://preview.redd.it/oo62zm5zasuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35dd3ea2addda43776b87ee6896c460a675f1484
I recently had the chance to try out the Rampage X-Treme NC Crossbow 100gr Broadheads-2 Pack and let me tell you, they definitely lived up to their name! The vast cutting diameter of 2.3 inches truly made a difference in the field, as it created devastating wound channels on game.
One feature that stood out to me was the integrated blade containment system. It ensured that the broadheads remained intact during flight, which added to the overall accuracy and performance of the product. Also, the 100 grain cut-on-contact and ravin crossbow compatibility made them a breeze to use.
However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks I experienced. The first issue was the 2-pack limitation, as it made it difficult to practice with just one broadhead. The other concern was the performance of the broadheads at a lower fps, as I had mine deployed prematurely on a deer.
Despite these minor setbacks, the Rampage X-Treme NC Crossbow 100gr Broadheads-2 Pack definitely lived up to its reputation for power, precision, and performance. If you're looking to upgrade your crossbow hunting game, these broadheads are definitely worth giving a try!

🔗Top-Performance Sik SK2 2-Inch Broadhead for Bow Hunting

​
https://preview.redd.it/k0ns18nzasuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=260415abf2be980cf6daef6c880b35ed07014e84
I've been using the SIK SK2 Broadheads in my hunting adventures, and I must say I'm impressed. The offset blades with a 2-inch cutting diameter really make a difference in the field, offering optimal performance and leaving massive wounds on my prey. I appreciate the stainless-steel construction that provides durability, ensuring these broadheads will last for a long time.
One feature that stood out to me is the plastic snap holder, which helps ensure blade and user safety. The broadheads fit virtually any arrow, quiver, and broadhead box, making them a versatile choice for any hunter. However, I've noticed that the blades have a tendency to rattle in the package, which might affect their sharpness upon arrival.
Overall, the SIK SK2 Broadheads have proven to be a reliable and accurate option for my hunting needs. While there are a few minor issues, the pros definitely outweigh the cons. I highly recommend these broadheads to any hunter looking for a high-performing and durable choice.

🔗Sik F3: Versatile and Deadly Hunting Broadhead Set

​
https://preview.redd.it/3bqpbkuzasuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84d3022dc46eae1ac405d53a789a207e378e3f06
During my adventures in the great outdoors, I've come across a variety of prey, and my trusty Sik F3 broadheads have made all the difference. As a hunter, I need a broadhead that delivers not only precise accuracy but also the ability to make a clean, quick kill.
With its razor-sharp blades constructed of stainless steel and the offset blade design, the F3 has proven to be the perfect choice for my hunting excursions. The solid knurled and threaded rear locking collar ensures that the blades remain securely in place, allowing for superior strength. The one-piece all steel ferrule, featuring a sleek hybrid tip, catches the attention of even the most agile game.
Without a doubt, the Sik F3 broadheads have exceeded my expectations and made every hunt a success.

🔗Introducing the High-Performance Assailant Broadhead: 100 Gr.

​
https://preview.redd.it/xef4k1a0bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9cf99b82a23910635e835e97ef3d919454b78aa
Ah, the Slick Trick Assailant, a broadhead that's been a constant companion in my hunting pursuits. Picture this: a crisp autumn morning, the forest still bathed in a mystical mist. My trusty compound bow rests securely in my grip, the Assailant broadhead piercing the feather of the arrow readied for flight. With the pull of the trigger, the arrow sails towards its intended target - a wild buck, standing at the edge of a clearing.
The sight is exhilarating - the Assailant's chisel tip, with its promise of maximum penetration, slicing through the air, and the mechanical blades, expanding and locking onto their quarry. The broadhead's massive cutting surface, a whopping 2 5/8", makes for a sight to behold as it plunges into the buck. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and strength, a testament to Slick Trick's commitment to delivering top-notch quality.
However, there is a downside. The mechanical blades, while effective, have an unfortunate tendency to bend after use, diminishing their reusability. It's a frustrating setback, considering the overall stellar performance of the Assailant. Nevertheless, the field-proven Alcatraz Blade Lock System provides a reliable solution, ensuring the broadhead remains locked and secure on the arrow shaft.
In conclusion, the Slick Trick Assailant is a broadhead that delivers on its promises, offering precision, accuracy, and the devastating cutting power demanded in the world of archery hunting. While there are minor drawbacks, the overall experience makes it a product I wholeheartedly recommend and look forward to using again in future hunts.

🔗Accurate Sik F4 Bird Broadhead with Laser-Welded Stainless Steel

​
https://preview.redd.it/f44a7ht0bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c46420bb48b708d1e4614be5659fb1c683f1a533
When I first decided to try the Sik F4 100 Grain Broadheads, I had my doubts. But as I started using them, I was pleasantly surprised by their performance. The first thing I noticed was their accuracy - these broadheads are incredibly precise and consistent. I was able to hit my target with ease, even at longer distances.
One of the standout features of these broadheads is their razor-honed blade angle. It definitely makes a difference, as the blades cut through the skin like butter. The 1.350 inch cutting diameter and 3.350 inch cutting surface are impressive, too. I've seen some amazing blood trails after using these, and the broadheads have held up well even after multiple shots.
However, there were a couple of downsides I encountered. For one, the broadheads did produce a whistling noise while flying through the air, which might be off-putting for some hunters. Additionally, I found that they didn't fly quite as field-point accurate as I would have liked, which meant I had to make some adjustments with my bow.
Overall, the Sik F4 Broadheads have been a great addition to my hunting gear. They've proven to be reliable, sharp, and accurate, and I'm excited to use them on more hunts in the future.

🔗Rugged and Field-Point Accurate Sik F4CB Crossbow Broadhead for Hunting

​
https://preview.redd.it/a9zobj51bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a936e094def7319bbb6e412bd4b2e5126fdd476
Sik's F4CB Crossbow Broadheads are a game-changer in my daily hunting routine. The accuracy and lethality of this crossbow broadhead are unmatched, delivering swift and accurate strikes that made me feel confident up in the stand. With its laser-welded stainless steel 4-blade design, I was truly impressed by the level of precision I achieved while sighting in, making those tough long-distance shots a breeze.
One thing that stood out to me was the incredible 27-degree razor-honed blade angle, which provided such an exceptional cutting diameter that I didn't have to worry about penetration or blood trails, making my harvesting all the more efficient. However, I did notice that some users experienced poor blood trails, which could be a minor drawback for some hunters.
I love that these broadheads produce a 1.35-inch cutting diameter and a generous 3.35-inch cutting surface, so I could be sure that my shots were delivering fatal damage. I also found it great that they shot like field points, creating smooth flight without any wobbling or planing in flight. The sport type, Hunting, made this broadhead very suitable for my needs, always coming through for me when I needed a reliable tool out in the wild.
The one downside I came across during my hunting experience was that some customers reported struggling with high performance crossbows, so it might not be the most optimal crossbow broadhead for all speeds. But, for my use, it has been a fantastic addition to my hunting gear.

🔗NAP Spitfire Edge Broadhead 100gr for Exceptional Archery Performance

​
https://preview.redd.it/7i8uvmm1bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf9da4aa372d3c953872ab182139abc198e13b5b
As I ventured into the world of archery, I stumbled upon the Nap Spitfire Edge Broadhead, a game-changer in my hunting experience. The cutting diameter of 1 3/4 inches was impressive, and the micro-grooved slimline ferrule delivered accuracy like never before. The hardened trophy tip point was a testament to its strength, as it sliced through hide, flesh, and arteries with ease. And let me tell you, those offset blades were the real stars of the show, leaving massive blood trails and gapping exit holes.
One aspect that couldn't be faulted was its precision manufacturing, which provided me with out-of-the-box field-point accuracy. However, the biggest drawback was the lack of a practice tip included in the package. I believe having one would have eased the mind of some potential buyers, like myself, who prefer not to use broadheads on their first few shots in the field. Despite this issue, the price was right for the bundle of three, and the savings compared to other brands made it all worth it.

🔗Rugged 3-Inch Cutting Diameter Broadhead for Hunting Accuracy and Performance

​
https://preview.redd.it/qlr18jy1bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89a93a645c583d406ba81dd3387bf7b5d1d485cf
The Spitfire XXX broadhead was a game changer in my hunting experience. The simplicity and ruggedness of the design made it stand out, perfect for even the toughest big game animals. I was impressed by how the blades never opened in flight, ensuring a clean shot and maximum accuracy. It was incredibly sharp, with the Trophy Tip point design offering bone-shattering toughness that bowhunters demand.
One downside I encountered was with the 3 blade design. While it worked well with internal spring clips to hold the blades closed and had no need for O-rings or rubber bands, I found that in one instance, only one blade opened after the shot. This was a minor issue, but it was still a letdown after the otherwise solid performance.
Despite this mishap, my experience with the Spitfire XXX broadhead was largely positive. It was a reliable and accurate choice for all hunting conditions, and the ultra-high speed compatibility made it a versatile option for both bows and crossbows. The massive 2-inch cutting diameter, combined with deep penetration and the blades' razor-sharp edges, meant quicker recoveries and a devastating impact on game.

🔗High-Quality Allen Broadhead for Durable Hunting

​
https://preview.redd.it/0ixeapb2bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=738a47b39324c69feef55e244536983eee201e7d
When I first heard of Tooth of The Arrow's S-Series broadheads, I was intrigued by the rave reviews I kept reading online. I decided to give them a try and incorporate them into my hunting gear. The four-blade fixed design of these broadheads felt sturdy in my hand, assuring me of their durability and sharpness.
On my first hunting trip, I opted for the 45-degree cutting angle. From the moment I shot my arrow, I could tell that my choice was spot on as the TOTA broadhead sliced through the air with remarkable precision. The 1-inch diameter cutting diameter provided an optimal balance between penetration and tissue damage, allowing me to make clean and fast kills on the deer I encountered.
One of the most impressive features of the TOTA S-Series was the chisel point design, which made penetration smooth and efficient even when entering dense bone structures. The black oxide plating added an extra layer of durability and resistance to wear and tear.
However, I must admit that the weight of the broadhead was fairly noticeable on my lightweight crossbow. This might be a factor to consider for those who prefer a more agile setup, as the added mass could slightly affect the arrow's flight.
In conclusion, the Tooth of the Arrow S-Series broadheads have proven to be a reliable and efficient option in my hunting experience. Their sturdy construction, balanced cutting diameter, and the smooth chisel point design make them a top choice for any hunter seeking high-quality broadheads. Despite the slightly noticeable weight, the benefits they offer are well worth it in my book.

🔗Affordable Cold Steel Recurve Broadheads

​
https://preview.redd.it/4h7f3ut2bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1900be276f2449b2a80d050adfb77a64d73885d
Recently, I came across the Cold Steel Cheap Shot Bone Saw Broadheads, and I decided to give them a shot in my hunting adventures. As an experienced hunter, I always look for quality products to assist me in my quest for the perfect game. These broadheads stood out to me because of their affordable price tag and promised durability.
Upon receiving the package, I was surprised by how lightweight they were. The broadheads are made of a combination of polymer and stainless steel, which not only adds to their affordability but also makes them great for beginners.
I took these Cold Steel broadheads on a few hunting trips, and I must say, they were a game-changer. The 3" overall size allowed for a more precise shot, and the plain edge provided a fantastic cutting surface. Additionally, the clam pack made it easy to store and transport them.
Although these broadheads did the job just fine, they weren't perfect. I noticed that the stainless steel construction made them more prone to rust over time, especially when exposed to harsh weather conditions. I also felt that the 125-grain weight might not be ideal for all types of game, so I would prefer a heavier option for larger animals.
In conclusion, the Cold Steel Cheap Shot Bone Saw Broadheads are a viable option for hunters looking for affordable yet functional broadheads. While they may not have the most advanced technology, they get the job done efficiently. The affordability, combined with the ease of use and storage, make them a solid choice for those just starting their hunting journey.

🔗Flying Arrow Pharmakon Blunt Point Broadhead Replacement

When I first heard about the Flying Arrow Pharmakon broadhead, I was intrigued by its patented coring technology and the promise of devastating performance. As an avid archer, I decided to give it a try in my latest hunting expedition.
The 3-blade low profile design caught my eye as it's perfect for my bow and the 7/8" cutting diameter seemed like just the right size for the kind of game I was targeting. The interchangeable blades were a game-changer, as it allowed me to switch and customize my broadhead to suit different scenarios.
However, I did encounter a few challenges along the way. The broadhead was a bit heavier than I expected, which made it difficult to fine-tune my bow. Additionally, I found the solid lock blades to be a bit tricky to change during the hunt, which caused some frustration.
In conclusion, the Flying Arrow Pharmakon broadhead is a reliable and devastating tool for any archer. While it has some minor drawbacks, its patented coring technology and interchangeable blades make it a versatile choice that's worth considering for your next hunting expedition.

Buyer's Guide

Blunt point broadheads are a popular choice for hunters due to their ability to penetrate deep while causing less tissue damage. They are ideal for big game hunting where a greater amount of blood is needed to track a wounded animal. However, choosing the right blunt point broadhead can be a daunting task with various factors to consider. This buyer's guide will provide essential information and advice on selecting the perfect blunt point broadhead for your hunting needs.
​
https://preview.redd.it/lqn6lbg6bsuc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fe3aaf03faabb24233b61b7105af9e54c00a91c

Material

Blunt point broadheads are typically made from steel or aluminum. While both materials are strong and durable, steel broadheads are more susceptible to being damaged upon impact. Aluminum broadheads are often lighter and more resistant to damage, but they may not penetrate as deeply. Consider the game you'll be hunting and choose the material based on the needs of that specific hunting scenario.

Type

There are two primary types of blunt point broadheads: fixed and removable. Fixed-blade broadheads are secured in place with a solid connection, making them more reliable during hunting scenarios. However, fixing the blades may necessitate purchasing a specialty tool or utilizing a hydraulic press. Removable-blade broadheads, on the other hand, offer convenience and customization, allowing hunters to swap out blades as needed.

Size

Blunt point broadhead sizes range from 1.25 inches to 2 inches. Larger broadheads tend to penetrate deeper but may affect accuracy, especially at longer distances. A larger broadhead also typically requires a bow with more draw weight. Consider your bow and the game you'll be hunting when selecting the optimal broadhead size.

Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics play a critical role in the accuracy and effectiveness of blunt point broadheads. Broadheads with aerodynamic fins or vane systems may provide greater accuracy by stabilizing the broadhead during its flight. However, these additions can also increase the overall weight of the broadhead, which may need to be accounted for when selecting a suitable arrows and bow combination.

Changing Your Mind

Sometimes, hunters may switch between different broadheads for various purposes. To make this process easier, consider purchasing a broadhead quiver that can accommodate multiple types of broadheads quickly. This decision will expedite the process of switching between different broadheads with ease.
Selecting the right blunt point broadhead requires taking into account several factors, including material, type, size, aerodynamics, and the ease of changing broadheads. By considering these aspects, hunters can ensure they choose a blunt point broadhead that will provide the best results in their specific hunting scenarios. Remember to always check with local hunting regulations for any restrictions on the use of blunt point broadheads, and ensure that safety is your top priority when using any hunting implement.

FAQ

1. What are blunt point broadheads designed for?

Blunt point broadheads are designed for hunting and archery enthusiasts who prefer a lower-risk shot. Unlike traditional fixed-blade broadheads with sharp tips, blunt point broadheads have rounded tips that are less likely to over-penetrate the target, making them safer for hunting in densely populated areas where there is a higher risk of hitting a non-target object or even people.

1. What materials are blunt point broadheads commonly made of?

Blunt point broadheads are typically made from materials such as high-carbon steel, stainless steel, or bronze. The material used may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific model of the broadhead being offered. These materials provide durability and accuracy, ensuring the broadhead performs well and maintains its edge during use.

1. Are blunt point broadheads as effective as traditional fixed-blade broadheads?

The effectiveness of a blunt point broadhead can be subjective, as it depends on the individual's hunting style and specific hunting application. While blunt point broadheads have a lower risk of over-penetration, they may not have the same stopping power as traditional fixed-blade broadheads. However, they can still be very effective at disabling an animal and ensuring a clean, humane kill. It's essential to choose the appropriate broadhead type and model for the specific hunting situation and personal preferences.

1. Can I use a blunt point broadhead for deer hunting?

Yes, you can use a blunt point broadhead for deer hunting in areas where there is a higher risk of over-penetration. While most blunt point broadhead models are designed for large game, they can still effectively and humanely dispatch a deer for the table. Always follow your state's hunting regulations and ensure you have the appropriate permission and safety precautions in place.

1. Are blunt point broadheads more expensive than traditional fixed-blade broadheads?

Blunt point broadheads can be somewhat more expensive than traditional fixed-blade broadheads due to the unique design and materials used in their construction. However, the difference in cost is typically minimal, and the safety benefits of using a blunt point broadhead may justify the added expense for some hunters.
