So Jeff you honestly do not think it is a legitmate fear???
Personally? No, I don't. I have a VERY small circle of friends within the hunting community that I trust, implicitly. If they were having issues....."I'd" trust their intution and experiences. To date.....I/we've experienced nothing witht his product that would incite fear in us. So....No fear.
I also think, beofre you attempt to utilize this product....you need to do a fair assessment of your equipment.
No. 1 - Are you pushing enough KE to shoot a mechanical (much less THIS one)? I am. No fear.
No. 2 - Is your bow in tune? Mine is. Again....NO fear.
No. 3 - What kind of quiver are you utilizing? The reason I say this is.....I use the Bohning that sort of allows my BH's to "hover" in the protective end. By doing this (and not allowing the BH to come into contact with the foam type quivers) there's no pressure put on the BH at all. No pressure = no unwanted "opening" of the BH in the quiver. The Bohning employs a method of stabilizing your arrows with 2 contact points....and the head sort of (again) "hovers" in the protective end of the quiver.
There are equipment issues that need to be addressed and accounted for before you choose any BH. I feel like I've done my homework on these....and I (or anyone I know WELL using these) have done so, also.
If I ever have any issues like some describe, here.....I'll re-assess my choice. I have no ties to any BH.....any bow mfr.....or any other mfr. I only use what's been tried and proven to be effective. And....if I didn't think it was 100% reliable....it wouldn't tip my arrow. If (in my opinion) someone produces a better head for MY set-up......I'll switch. Until then.....I'll continue to employ this product.
That's my .02. Good luck with your choices, this fall.
