True. It depends on how much KE is shed while opening though. There is really no way to tell.
Say the KE of the head upon initial impact is 65#'s. Once the BH is fully deployed... say its 60#'s. The displacement is 5#'s, which is basically like you said, energy traveling backwards through acceleration(deceleration). Once the energy is displaced though, the effects are no more, and then its just like a regular bh with a 1.5" cut.
Now... Like HuntingBry said, if your setup is on that fine line, using this head may not be very smart. Any wide mechanical that is... That is the problem...
TFOX, you are right about the skin and bone thing too b/c until someone test how many ft/lb's it takes to open that head, we will not know how much KE can potentially be shed upon impact. MAybe alot, maybe very little...
Every setup is subjective once the arrow is in the air b/c of arrow build and the impact on whatever animal.
Point is, dont shoot it if you dont have enough(in the shooters opinion) KE/Momentum to send it thru to both sides.
