The other concern is that giving our product to someone who has already been slamming it on a public forum without having used it or even seen it work, is not a good idea. If someone does the above, they are likely to not follow the instructions assembling or using the product properly, thereby giving us poor review due to their incompetence. Have you watched the FB videos? I have test shot this product through development and production. I have also killed deer with it. Pretty sure that I know more than anyone on this forum how it works as I invented it and backed it with my time, money and effort. You can be skeptical, but you should not make determinations about something you know absolutely nothing about. It's very simple, buy it and try it or don't. If you do and it works I hope you have the integrity to retract what you have posted. If you don't, have the integrity to say you have not tried it and know nothing about it and choose not to. I have been very busy and don't get on these forums often so please don't expect fast replies. I am not avoiding any criticism, just busy trying to provide for my family and produce an American made archery product that improves the likelihood of harvesting an animal even with a poor shot (bone impact). The comment about "at animals expense" or whatever is crazy. This product will insure a more humane harvest even with a less than perfect shot. Rather than a deer for example running off with an arrow in it's shoulder, with the Slidehammer it will penetrate the vitals even through the shoulder. I know, look at the photo of the buck I shot with it this season. It dropped in 20yds or less, arrow through both front shoulders.

I understand that you, as well as other Mfg's, don't/won't send out products at your expense for others/skeptics, to try. BUT!! When a more or less challenge is made to test your product at anothers expense of time and products to either verify or deny that your product is everything you claim and maybe more, to allow a non-associated independant tester to do this, you would allow it? Most companys call that "Product Testing". A tax write off later, for R&D. And with you being the so called inventor/promoter, you would know this.
Especially on a forum such as this, for the possible future sale of said items!!! And if a product that makes claims that it is the best of the best out there. And does everything that the others in that department either cannot or does it better because of its claims. Gives people/users a sense that they now can take a less than ideal shot for they now have this new product that will allow them to do this and then still does not harvest that animal cleanly or at all, as the product advertised, IS at the animals expense, and not crazy, just facts!!!!!!
When I see it out on the major sporting dealers shelves for a year or two, and hear peoples reports of how good it is working and has done for them with photos and videos to back it up, I MAY consider it. Till then, I will stick with what I know works for me. And as far as your buck, I also just took a buck this past Nov., field dressed at 219#, double shoulder shot at 21yds, broadhead penetrated both shoulders, mechanical at that, and dropped/died 29yds from point of impact. Double lung/heart shot. Broadhead was perfect afterwards. Just resharpened and put on new arrow.
