I'm going to have to check these things out for sure. The flaw with the wac'ems is putting the suckers together. There's a trick to it that took me a little time to figure out without having blades fall off as you put the next one on. G5 or Wac'em if it's a 1.5" fixed head I'll be buying it.

The only concern I'd have is that the wider the blades the less steep the angle on the blades unless you make the broadhead longer. And by making it longer you're getting away from the compact head design. Stability with the high speed bows shooting over 280 fps could be an issue. In addition, you're going from a slicing movement to a chopping movement with the blade if the BH does not get longer. However, that doesn't seem to affect the mechanicals that much and some have almost no angle on the blades at all.

By the way. A belated Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah depending on religious affiliation.
