For all practical purposes though, wouldn't they give better penetration?
GENERALLY speaking, yes. Which is why I recommend them for youngsters shooting low poundage.....But I pass through 90% of my deer anyway.....can't get any better penetration than that. The way I see it, every broadhead is TECHNICALLY cut on contact. It's not like they're blunt nosed pushing their way through.....Even a trocar tip is cutting....They just aren't classified as a "traditional" COC head.....

If it's better, why not shoot it?
I could make a STRONG case for a larger cutting surface being "Better".;)

Original: rybohunter If you consider 6" into the dirt better than 5.5" then yes, probably.
Not really talking exit wounds, but entrance. If that makes any sense. Maybe not.

You lost me on that one LT. What are you referring to on the entrance?

Ability to cut, rather than poke a hole in the animal. Does that make sense Huntingbry?

LT....the huge wounds I've been showing you in my photos ARE the entrance wounds.:D

Jeff, simmons has a 2" COC called the tree shark!!! Weighs in at a nice light 190 gr. and knowing simmons it probably wieghs more than that!! Usually 5-10gr. heavier than stated.

So, you are saying that the penetration of cutting directly into the animal upon impact is advantageous to a head that punches through the hide like a chisel tip. Is that correct?

Granted this is not an actual animal I did this withbut shooting different COC heads side by side withthe short heads like the slick trick the ST style heads consistantly out penetrate COC heads by a couple of inchesin arcehry targets.

Because they don't (to my knowledge) make one as big as the one I shoot......with the same flight characteristics I demand.
Jeff, do you know what that little razor blade tip on your Rage makes it? It's a COC/expandable. Hello????
