To get a passthrough your gonna need alot of energy. But even if you don't get one your still gonna have a decent entry wound due to the fixed blades.

Definitely a devastating head but, as suggested, a sufficient amount of KE is generally required to get those to function properly. I haven't shot them myself but would be curious as to what kind of accuracy you would get out of them with that large, exposed blade area.

They field dress them istantly at the time of the shot .

What in the world do you need that for? Those mechanical blades will look like a slinky after one shot into a heavy bone, dirt, rock or anything else hard. I guess they'd work, but you'll likely not get an exit wound, unless you're shooting a heavy arrow at 295+.

Any hit in the guts/neck/vitals would be fatal, I'd reckon. Again, as with any broadhead, if you hit where you're supposed to, you'll kill it. With these, however, given the size of the six cutting surfaces, I don't think you could pass through a large deer's shoulder blade.

Inever really had any problems (other than poor shooting) with conventional broadheads (muzzy, thunderheads, etc.).Could these be a crutch for a poor shot? Yes. Would I recommend or use them? No.

I've field tested some rockets before, and spined a small buck. At 78#, the tip of the head barely penetrated the spinal column. The blades were completely annihilated. I had one blade left, and it was bent into a curly-q. I wouldn't use any Rocket expandable again, even if they were free (again).

I have some of them but never really used them on game mainly because I could not get them to group with my main broadheads. Never bothered to tune just for them. It is probably because of the length of the head and the wieght distribution. This of course was out of a compound bow. One thing to mention is that the fixed blades on these heads are EXTREMELY thin. I can't imagine what they would look like if they hit anything hard.
