Correct me if my perception is incorrect, but it looks like this broadhead is composed of a very long, all aluminum ferrule that is slotted for almost its entire length to house the blades in the "undeployed" position. The broadhead also appears to have no hardened steel tip. If the ferrule is titanium, then I might believe that it would possibly hold up to a shoulder or similar heavy bone hit, but if it is all aluminum? I'm sure that the pro staffers or the other supporters on this thread will quickly dispel my doubts with more accounts of devastating success.
