Default Can your bow split an atom???

I see where Arrowdynamic Solutions is coming out with a broadhead that is made out of "Flexible Nitinol Razor Wire blades". Supposedly it will bend or compress around obstructions and "spring" back "to cut more".

They have dubbed the name of the broadhead "The Atom".

The "wire" or blade is shaped similar to the orbit of atoms we see in illustrations and is somehow connected to a one-piece ferrule that has a cone shaped tip.

This will be interesting.....

Unfortunately no. There should be some ads coming out in the mainstream hunting mags soon I would assume. Those fortunate enough to attend the ATA will no doubt see one.

I went to their website and it wasn't even posted there yet.

It would seem to me if the "wire" flexes (anyway as much as I interpret what they describe) it would act as drag. In other words it would appear to me to create additional friction and impede penetration. Additionally it will be interesting to see how durable it is and how sharp. It seems a bit over the top to me, but then, what do I know, I never dreamed people would spend big money to buy jeans with holes already in them.

I'll keep them in mind if I ever decide to hunt atoms.

I wonder what the noise factor is on these 'Atoms' while in flight?
