Default RE: Smoke Broadheads..Check These Out

I'm not a mechanical fan but those do have some good features for a mechanical. The cutting diameter could be a little bit wider though. And they will not be legal in many states due to the "barbed" effect of the blades.

And $42 bucks is INSANE for a 3 pack of broadheads.
Wait until you see what Rages are for this year. They have a minimum selling price right at $40 for three.

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.
Try another 15 or more years ago with the Pucketts punch cutter. And possibly another before that.

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.
This is no different than any otehr mechanical broadhead on the market.Nearly all mechanical bades are at the rear of the head.
