I love these broadheads, These actually fly like field tips,I know I use them! You can call them cute, or try to come up with lame excuse that curving or bending weakens it WRONG ,done correctly It strengthens it. Remember your pickup truck and all the bent and curved metal. I used Muzzy's, lots of setup time and inconsistant. Remember the accuracy of the Brown Bess rifle ? and look what happened to accuracy when they rifled the barrel!Putting spin on the ball or bullet.I shot a seven pointer last Saturday complete pass through and stuck in the dirt, must confess the blades had some small nicks in the blades. i think that was the sticking in the dirt part. try them I think you will like them. Don't be afraid, or have a closed mind to every new concept or Idea. oh yea I forgot to tell you deer traveled 20 yards! They work for me!!!
