Post by: fountain on June 02, 2012, 07:02:00 AM
Anybody seen em?  Saw some today and they look pretty good and fly even better.

look interesting.  Judging from the pix they are considered barbed and not allowed in some states. Formerly you couldn't use barbed heads for deer and bear in Wisconsin.  I don't see that in the rules anymore so I guessed we changed our minds ?

The majority of states allow for barbed heads. I personally enjoy seeing a little more variety and the barbed heads offer some features I can appreciate.

How many designs like that hang around? Might be a reason for it. Looks like it would impede penetration.

Those heads are pretty cool. I've got some deadheads that have similarly offset blades and they fly accurately. I'd be interested in trying these for sure.

Intersting concept. I'd like to see some reviews

I just looked at the pictures of this broadhead. Honestly, the offset blades seem like a gimmick. Any theories on what that would actually accomplish?

Gimmick or not...I don't know.  I just got my pack this week and they seem very well built and good quality.   I see no reason they wont work flawlessly.  Looks like a good head and a good guy to work with that has a lot headed our direction.   Y'all get a pack and see for yourself ....

Unless I'm missing something, it appears to me the offset blades are positioned in a manner so as to actually work against the single bevel rotation.  Therefore I do not see the point.

That is the first thing that I thought when I looked at them too!  Bevels are wrong for what they are trying to accomplish.

What can they do at $80/six that Zwickeys won't at a third of the price?

I have never heard of them. I would appreciate it if someone would post some pictures of them.

I guided a hunter that shot these heads and he took a great red boar. It was a quartering away shot and he got a complete pass through while shooting an old Bear recurve.The pig went only 40 yards. Convinced me

I would really like to see a pic of a critter shot with one of these even though they are illegal in my state in other places itight be worth having a few for outa state hunts or just put on shelf and look at

Looked em up online just out of curiosity, they look pretty dang gimmicky to me. Kinda like a propeller or something. I wouldn't use em that's for sure.

Do any of em do anything Better than the next?
Some cases I think so. Does this one? Not sure.
I have talked with the maker at a few shows and he is a good dude. Just a regular guy like the rest of us. He has put some thought and effort into this head. I wanted to try it this fall but my plans got changed do to a lack of deer.
Just another option for you to choose to use. Or stay with your favs. No problem either way I think.
