I' m a die hard steelhead user...three shots, 3 entrance holes, three exit holes, three dead deer that didn' t go 50 yards. Now I look at these Triska heads, primarily the 125 grain that has a opened diameter of 2 3/4 inches. Now I don' t care how big the entrance wound is, but if you have a broadhead that can punch a dang near 3 inch hole in the underside of a deer its going to die and die very very quickly, even if it' s only max diameter for the last half of the torso. My bow is putting out 80ft/lbs of KE. I would have very sufficient energy to get a full pass through using this head out to my max range of 30 yards. For some setups this head is just way too large. I feel that it' s the hunters responsibility to know what there equipment is capable of to make every effort to be as ethical as possible. If your bow is only putting out 65ft/lbs, then don' t use this head. It' s that simple. The problem I have is the way that these manufacturers are marketing there " latest and greates" gear. It seems to be more directed towards new archers who have really no idea what' s going on. Hell, I remember when I first started, I was clueless. I was lucky enough to have a very excellent proshop with owners that guided me through all the starting obstacles.

Now with my situation, I see this broadhead and think, " This head would really make me a better hunter because I would feel more comfortable making slightly quartering too/away shots that I have passed up several times before with my steelheads because of the fear of cartwheeling. I' m going to give these heads a try and will hopefully get a shot at a deer next fall. If accomplished I will post picks of the entrance and exit wounds and of the blood trail. Thank you for your time.
