Default Rocket Sidewinders and true cutting diameter

I know they advertise 1.5" cut, but I can only seem to scrounge up 1 3/8" from one blade tip to the next (which appears to be the furthest point from any given tip) when mounted on an arrow using the washers they provide with the heads.

Am I missing something here? Are they using the furthest point during deployment for their measurement?

When I compare them to my shockwaves, they' re not that much bigger and definately not .25" wider from tip to tip.

If they are only 1 3/8" wide I might as well be using Grim Reapers (I like the way they stay open once deployed) or hammerheads, maybe I' d get 1 7/8" out of they' re 2" cut lol!!

Could someone else please measure theirs and see what they come up with so I know I did' t get a midget batch?
