Default RE: Smoke Broadheads..Check These Out

I don't like busting on someones product but:

The deployment method is not new. It's a nock off ofthe Piston Point BH that came out early last year and is now owned by Trophy Ridge.

I've seen the blade layout somewhere before.

The blades sit way too far back for my liking. Looks like almost 1". On a deflection off of heavy bone you may not get any blade contact at all or very little. Furthermore, there is too much drag until the blades would start to cut. Most manufacturers are going to cut on contact for a good reason.

The .95" diameter is rather small. Again, another chance for missing vitals or bad cut.

Sorry but I do not see how they are more humane for the reasons listed above.
