Unfortunately no. There should be some ads coming out in the mainstream hunting mags soon I would assume. Those fortunate enough to attend the ATA will no doubt see one.
I went to their website and it wasn't even posted there yet.
It would seem to me if the "wire" flexes (anyway as much as I interpret what they describe) it would act as drag. In other words it would appear to me to create additional friction and impede penetration. Additionally it will be interesting to see how durable it is and how sharp. It seems a bit over the top to me, but then, what do I know, I never dreamed people would spend big money to buy jeans with holes already in them.
Additional drag as compared to just a field point perhaps, but not additional drag as compared to a fixed blade broadhead of the same weight. Drag is created by the flat surface moving through a wet area. The more surface area, the more the drag. Drag is minimized by this design, and disturbance of the flight of the arrow based on planing is minimized as well. The final product will be a broadhead that can fly like a fieldpoint and have the same cutting with and fatality of a fixed blade. The ability of the cutting surfaces to retain their original shape while passing between bones will also be realized. Also, with the minimum amount of material required for the cutting surfaces, the majority of the weight of that broadhead will be inline with the arrowshaft, thus kinetic energy will be delivered at the point of that shaft, allowing the head to penetrate quickly, but cutting enough vital area to allow quick, humane kills. At least that's the intent. The product is not yet in production. Their website will be updated shortly with information pertaining to this new broadhead, and like their last one (Gobbler Guillotine), they will answer questions pertaining to it.
It's a new design. I have never seen anything like it. I have shot two deer with it. Two shots, two deer, two passthroughs. However, I was also skeptical before I shot it. I am not skeptical now. I do not work for this company nor do I profit from their sales.
