In a recent test that I saw:

The manufacture's stated cutting diameter was found to be false (1/4 inch smaller than advertised).

The acutator pin/shaft broke when shot into a 1" thick poplar board that had been soaked in water for 4 hours to simulate bone (poplar is a very soft wood). Also, it failed to penetrate the board past the front of the ferrule.

They didn't do very well in my tests either.

The tips on those things just make no sense to me. It's like putting a washer behind the tip of the Trophy Ridge Undertaker but using a tiny little rod. I guess they tried to copy the broadhead but can't copy it too much do to patents?
