Default Atom Broadheads?

I have a friend that wanted me to post this question. He went to our local bow shop and the guy there said he really liked the Atom broadheads. He asked me if I have heard of them, and I said that I had, but didn't know much more than that. So how do they fly...do they work good? I have been trying to talk my friend into the slick tricks, but I guess he is wanting to get other opinions on these Atom broadheads before making his decision. Any thoughts would be greatly appreicated!

*Bump* for a good question...I've wondered the same. The design looks interesting, although don't know if I'd trust it in a hunting situation without many testamonials from those who had good success. No doubt they would fly true, but it just appears as if the flexible blades would bend in close to the ferrule and not cut much of a hole. Anyone with first-hand knowledge?

Well...from what I have read / heard is that the wires will bend if the broadhead comes in contact with bone, but still be able to cut tissue. If this is true, the broadhead would slip right through the bone material such as the rib cage very easily and still be able to do major damage...
