TFOX,

You asked me a series of questions on May 10th. Sorry, but I haven;t been back to this thread to see them until now. However, I think you' ve answered them already.

Sometimes, a new product reall is a great thing. Other times, it' s just another cheap gimmick that' ll fall by the side like so many others in the past. Consider these silly things firmly in the latter.

Wouldn' t it take a tremendous amount of energy for the arrow to keep spinning once it entered the target?? How do you know it keeps spinning??


Unless the spinning is being driven by a constant force I would think any spinning would stop immediately when the head first sinks in.


So are you saying that these heads will actually be spinning like a drill bit all the way through a deer' s chest cavity?? Obviously not at the same speed but you know what I mean.


Interesting

Yes. I have shot the tallons and the deadheads and they both continue to spin after they have enterd the target. A lot of the mechanicals with the offset blades will continue to spin inside a terget as well.

Think of a boat prop being dropped in the water by itself. I will spin as it falls through the water.

JRW

I will admit that these heads seem to be failing in the toughness department.I had suspected that they might.That is why I have been trying to find out as much as possible before my hard earned money gets spent on them.


I do not feel that a person is a sucker for wanting a broadhead that is as easy to tune as a field point.


These heads have a really good idea going but they seem to need some refinement and some tougher materials.Then I think they will be awesome but they are not there yet.


How many thought that the limb savers were a gimmick in the begining and how many people have them on their bows now.They were junk in the begining but have improved there material and design and now the things are holding up great.

But the water is acting as the actual force spinning the blades..........a target or an animal will present friction and a resistive force.


I see a better analogy as a corkscrew vs a nail............much less force to push a nail through a cork then it takes to manually twist and turn the cork screw due to less area of resistence.


I am just having a tough time visualizing how it can possibly keep spinning once the head sinks in.

Atlasman, Try a Spitfire 3 blade this coming season and you' ll see what some spinning action is (with no doubt)!! It' s an awesome sight .......should be to you particularly based on your signature picture !!

TFOX,

Like I said...

They do not spin that fast. It is something like one turn in 20" or even slower than that. How wide is the deer' s body?
