I saw the Drury's using them too. Very possibly could be the 2-blade they are using. I know my good friend is using them on turks right now and i'll report back when he gets home.

The only experience I have with them is on a coyote, and it wasn't good. Shot the coyote and hit him well. He went and layed down about 50 yards away, so I just left him, thinking I would pick him up after the morning's hunt. Well, I look over again about 20 minutes later, and there he is walking across the field. Never did find him, but the boradhead was destroyed. All of the blades were missing and the leading blade was broken off as well. Definitely not a very durable head.
I find it very hard to believe that you hit a coyote "well," (which I would intrepret as a lung and/or heart) with any broadhead and it layed down and then walked off w/o you recovering it. I would say your shot wasnt as good as you thought.
I didn't see you there, but I could be wrong. Trust me, it was a good shot. I know yotes are tough, but the broadhead failed as well. Like I said, it was completely broken apart. Sorry if this doesn't correlate with your info. It is MY experience. I shoot slick tricks currently and don't see myself switching until something better for ME comes on the market. BTW, I was using the 3 blade heads, someone had aksed earlier.
yoopermike, it is almost impossible to tell where you actually hit unless you had a video a camera or you recover him and see for yourself. An arrow goes thru an animal in a fraction of a second and many times our perception is wrong. I'm not trying to convince you to use any brand of braodhead just pointing out that you cant state exactly where you hit in the previoussituation.

I used the 3-blades version last year and loved them on deer. However I went on a hog hunt in jan and out of four arrows I had 2 of the ferules break in side of the pig. They completley snapped. I have heard that the 2-blade is supposed to be much tougher.

I never had a problem with them opening properly though.

I will only use my 3-blade rages on turkey from now on and have gone back to fixed blade broadheads for this year.
