RE: Crimson Talons
Aluminum is a soft metal to begin with. The more slots you cut into it the weaker it becomes. Six slots in an aluminum furrel signifigantly weakens the furrel. I want to know that if i make a bad shot on a shoulder or something that my broadhead will hold together and still make into the vital organs in tact. This design leaves a lot to be deisred in the strength department.
The tip is threaded on like a Muzzy but the tollerances are very poor in the broadheads I have seen. Easily bent sideways over the furrel. The tip also does not thread down the furrel very far making it even easier for it to fold over.
The blades have got to be the absolute dullest blades on any broadhead made today. The three little bleeder blades are so dull that I would think that they actually hinder penetration rather than aid in it.
The only thing they have going for theis is that they do fly very well.
There are far too many great broadheads out there that are strong, sharp and fly incredibly well. Why fool around with these gimmics.
BTW, I am not being closed minded, or afraid to try new things. I tried them when they first came out and I got some of the new ones sitting right here in front of me that are suppose to be better than the initial ones. I still don't like them.
The company markets the head well which is why it sells.
