I am used to shooting 100 gr. Flames from my compound. In preparation for my Morrison, I ordered some of the 210 grainers.  Oh my, these things are the defintion of WICKED.   Just looking at them cross-eyed will cut ya.   :p   Tough for a clutz like me to handle with care.  Can't wait to try them out.

Why do they sharpen the back of the blade, seems as if you would get cut it not careful?

Approximately $88.00 for a 3-PK.  Or, if you would like a dozen, $352.00  plus shipping 8^).

For that price they should be guaranteed to never miss.

I believe so that in the event that you don't enjoy a  complete pass through, the head will continue to cut as it works its way back out of the animal.  I became careless when pulling one out of a broadhead target....let's just say the blood trail was most impressive.    :scared:

The sharpened trailing edge was introduced for two reasons, as I recall this from conversations with Markus in 2002:
1) make for better withdrawl from targets
2) add cutting surface for the instance the arrow will not pass through

I did hundreds of test shots in 2003 - just after Markus had hit the market. Compared with any other 2-bld head I shot SF's were by far the easiest to draw from bales, even though others had a steeper blade angle on the trailing side. This really works and is big benefit for your training options. You don't need foam targets and would be able to invest the saved money in SF's instead  ;)

I came to test point no.2 also ...

BTW: I will not comment on the 100gr SF

I just bought some 150's and must say they are impressively sharp! So sharp in fact, that they didn't feel sharp to me. I guess cause I've never felt that sharp of an edge before! I ran one down my arm and cut hair and propbably the 1st layer of epidermus off too :-(

Guess that blows the single bevel issue for me.

Easy withdrawal from the target:  Well..I guess that surely adds a hundred bucks to the dozen price 8^).

Biggie...I never worried much about single bevels myself, since me old Bear Razorheads work so well.

Hey Biggie...I'm cheap...it's true; however, for $352.00 I can fill my Silverado with gas, buy a non-resident Maryland or W.Va. license, a dozen of the best arrows out there plus a Big Mac Value Meal.    :saywhat:  

Mark...They rock??  They should also sing and play guitar 8^).      :knothead:

Did anyone mention that with an arrow inside game that trailing edge acts as an additional blade, severing capillaries/vessels, etc. as the arrow and broadhead moves around.......
