I recently purchaced some of these heads dirt cheap (a bad sign?). I have not shot them yet I was just wondering if anyone here shoots them and how they work.

For those not familliar with this head, it is a 4 blade cut on contact, the main blades are serrated and the back of the blades are curved to create spin in flight and a spiral wound chanel. They look like they should produce a devistating wound to anything they hit but I am hoping to hear some real world results before I try them.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Yes, bad sign!   They're junk!          

I know a guy who shot a doe with one with a  high-tec c-bow last weekend. High lung shot, the arrow didn't even make it all the way thru and the blades were all chipped up from just hitting ribs!

I also beleieve his lack of penetration was from those flared/twisted blades. They seemed to do nothing but impead penetration.

What Curt said.

Use them for squirrels and rabbits.  The good new is they were cheap.

Sounds like a great small game head!

Sounds like good advice, I think I will start carrying one for small game. Thanks guys!

I am not familiar with them, but they don't appear horrible from what I could search up about them.  I am leery of anything with moving parts, and serrations do not appeal to me, but if you have the ability to sharpen them I guess they are not horrible.  I don't know if any of the "spin wound channel" has any merit, but at least it is a cut-on-contact broadhead and that's a start.

I have a modest collection of about 120 different glue-on broadheads from the 30's to present.  I can show you worse designs that have been launched as big-game heads.

I prefer the KISS approach: Keep It Simple and Single-bladed.  If it has any moving part throw it out immediately.  Mouse-trap crap.

Some of the most deadly looking (like the Browning Serpentine and Red Bow Star) are the least effective and most prone to failure at the hide/bone.  You wonder if some of these guys ever went outside, let along hunted large animals.

Take heart, the worst designs make the most interesting collectables.
