- Arrow length, can't cut off the front end and cutting off the back means new nock inserts, so how do you deal with people wanting different length arrows?
- Is the leading fixed blade head attached or can I take it off and use whatever head I want? If so, I could put a rage, or other mechanical on the front and effectively have a double mechanical?
Someone said illegal in their state. I'd have to check my states rules, but curious what's in the rules that makes it illegal.
Basically you've taken the advantages of a fixed blade and POSSIBLE made them do more damage for more blood, which is good.
You've taken the advantages of a mechanical and wiped them out by putting a fixed blade on the front.
Not really, They have taken a fixed head that already had plenty of cut to kill a deer no problem and added the potential for penetration problems.
Then on the other hand they have also taken a big mechanical which is already robbing peter(penetration) to pay paul(cutting surface) and added a fixed head that will only serve to increase the penetration problem that already exist.
That is my opinion anyway. They have taken an already problematic mechanical broad head and made it even worse.
I mean what is the point? If your already going to send 2" blades through a deer what purpose does it serve to send smaller blades through first except to slow your arrow down and assure your arrow will not get through the shoulder?
I assure you my little old fixed head passing through the shoulders will leave a much better blood trail than that thing will without a pass through. From an elevated position the exit wound is paramount and that thing does nothing but make a pass through less likely.
