Atom broadhead on hog
 

I was shooting from a Double Bull Matrix, camo net was deployed (fancy word for "in use"). 20 yards from a series of significant rooting signs. Just before dark, here comes two hogs. The one in the pic was leading, but there was a much bigger one that stopped just shy of the shooting lane I had. I decided to take the smaller one (still close to 100 pounds or so).

The broadhead is the new Atom™ by Arrowdynamic Solutions. It uses a patented razorwire technology, nitinol materal, razor sharp leading edges and a solid titanium body. Had a complete pass through between ribs, X cut through the skin (tough skin) X cut through both lungs, severed top of heart, between ribs on opposite side, X cut on exit. Left a very good blood trail for about 60 yards before the animal expired. Broadhead showed no sign of damage, still razor sharp. I will use it again as soon as the weather permits.

Nice! How tough are they in your practice sessions? Is the wire resharpenable and/or replaceable?

thats a big pig

Since they shoot like field points, I don't practice with them, however I have shot them into a foam block and had no problems. The body cannot be destroyed (we beat it with a sledge hammer). The nitinol razor wires are extremely tough. This one passed through and stuck into the ground on the opposite side. The wires are replaceable (easily). This is a one piece broadhead (minus wires). With wires included, it's a 3 piece head (2 wires). Very simple, easy to quiver, very quiet and incredibly strong and accurate. It's being tested against bison and black buck antelope as well.

Thanks for the warning on the grafic content;).

The look like they did a good job on the pig. Congrats! Where did you find these heads and do they come in diffrent weights. I'd be looking for 125g heads. Also, Were they expensive?

RE: Atom broadhead on hog
 

They aren't in production at this time. When they go into production, you will be able to get them from Arrowdynamic Solutions, and whomever else sells them.

They will be made in the 125gr as well, the one you see is the 100gr.

I don't know what the price for a package of three will be.

I can't wait to give them a try. I didn't realize until I went looking that arrowdynamic solutions also makes the gobbler guillitine. These two heads seem to be the most inovative I've seen since menichanicals hit the market.

If you've got an in and there looking for field tester I'd be interested in checking them out and giving an honest and objective field report.

Not a very big exit hole IMO.

RE: Atom broadhead on hog
 

The exit hole is bigger than the entrance hole. This is a 100gr broadhead, small cutting diameter on this particular one.

Keep checking their website for updates. You can contact the manufacturer through that site and request to field test, but he gets dozens if not hundreds of requests for field testers.
