RE: For you Mechanical broadhead users
No thank you. That's one head I'm not sure I'd trust therefore I would not use it. It looks like he really has to force it open and a couple times in the "Now you see it, now you don't" One blade didn't open. Reminds me of Plucketts and they were bad news. I'd have to really test one myself to be sure but strictly by that video, no thank you.

RE: For you Mechanical broadhead users
Im with Rob on this one, looks like it is going to take a little to much force to open the head up. Granted I am what you might call a mech guy, I shoot rages and have had success with them all year, but I think that the rages have a better makeup to them. I also dont like how far the blades are away from the tip of the point, JMO.

Looks like they work. I only use fixed heads so this is all for you "other guys"
Edit:
I have no problem with killing an animal in a fence that is going to be eaten with a bow. My dad has a 1/2 grown calf (black angus) that is refusing to corral up and go to market. I wish he would just send me and my bow to end the trouble and afterwards we just take him to the locker. More fun than using a .22 bullet to the brain and you get to try out your archery equipment on it. This is a product testing.

Junk Broadheads are few and far between today fortunately. Definitely much better choices available

Oh yeah,... I have a tuned bow that shoots fixed broadheads like darts and you want me to change???? To something I've never heard of?????? I'll change my undies tomorrow but that's about it.[8D]
