RE: What do you think of these???
I LIKE THE IDEA, BUT AS A HUNTER I LIKE A CLEAN KILL, THAT GUY IN THAT VIDEO COULD OF PUT SEVERAL OF THE ANIMALS OUT MUCH QUICKER THEN HE DID. HE JUST STOOD AROUND AND WATCH THEM SUFFER. I LOVE HUNTING, BUT TO BE HONEST, I WILL NEVER BUY FROM THAT GUY, DO TO THIS VIDEO. SORTA LIKE SHOOTING A DEER IN THE SPINE AND THEN SET AROUND WITHIN FEET OF IT WHILE IT SUFFERS....NOT FOR ME... JUST MY THOUGHTS

It seems like it might be a good tool for those who cannot make a quick, clean kill and need help with tracking. I'll join Washington Hunter and pass.

Glad to hear these responses. I was beginning to think I'd lost it, because I got called an Animal Rights Activist because I expressed my disgust at these things. Good to hear there are much more sensible people here. If the guy had shown video with quick kills, I'd not be so quick to judge, but if a advertiser shows videos that make it appear that animals suffer considerably, I believe any hunter that buys such a product is irresponsible.

A good blunt tip on a bunny will solve that problem as well because it will kill it on impact. You won't have to chase it until it gets tangled up and dies.
I didn't watch the whole thing, almost all of it though. I quit watching when the turkey was flailing all over the place. Just what I want to do is walk up on a injured pissed off turkey. Those suckers can be mean.
I thought this was going to a product to help track deer, not small game.
Like the rest of you I'll pass. Doesn't make the rest of us look very good either.

Yep that is not my idea of hunting - there are much more effective heads out there than this trash - why not use a bowfishing arrow - about the same difference

RE: What do you think of these???
Saw them but didn't watch the video. I thought they still had a broad head and all the "drag" thing did was make it tougher for them to get as far before they died? But from the sounds of this, they aren't very efficientlt putting the animals down. I would think if the head was good at doing its job & kills the animal in a few seconds, the 'drag' would just lessen the distance it would cover?
