BloodRunner broadhead?
« on: July 12, 2009, 09:48:41 PM »
Legal or not in this state? any one shot  this head?  Do you think they would consider this head barbed ?







The BloodRunner is an rearward-opening expandable broadhead that delivers a 1 1/2 inch cutting diameter on impact for massive bloodtrails and quick recoveries.  The BloodRunner has a 1" cutting diameter when closed for field point accuracy.  0.036" thick blades provide extreme sharpness and dependability.  The BloodRunner will be sold in packs of 3 and available in 100 grains.

looks mechanical to me, therefore illegal. "The BloodRunner is an rearward-opening expandable broadhead..."

but...it is 1 inch cut on contact without being opened, so it seems to me there is some room for debate in how the law is written..maybe.

As much as I love NAP heads, this one is suspect at best for legality in WA.  I'd consider the T85, T100, or T125 for outstanding performance.  I've taken dozens of big game animals with T100's and had nothing but flawless results.  Just my  :twocents:

Just because it is mechanical does not make it illegal

f. It is unlawful to hunt big game animals
with any arrow or bolt that does not have a
sharp broadhead, and the broadhead blade
or blades are less than seven-eighths inch
wide.
g. It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with
a broadhead blade unless the broadhead
is unbarbed and completely closed at
the back end of the blade or blades by
a smooth, unbroken surface starting at
maximum blade width forming a smooth
line toward the feather end of the shaft and
such line does not angle toward the point.


but i think what is in bold does?

Cool but illegal. I think that our state law is really a few years behind the technology here. I suspect in time they will come around . lets be thankfull that there's many great broad heads to choose from , i really like the shuttle t-lock .

I agree with coach, too many good broadheads out there to push the legality of this one. Use one that you know is legal and you'll sleep good knowing you're not riding a fine line.
Shut up and Hunt!

it's barbed and it's mechanical. i don't see where the question is...thats an illegal broadhead.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Hey guy I email the game dept about those when they first came out they wrote me back and said that they are still illegal in washington because the blade need to have a closed back (90deg angle) I will try to find the email and post it for you. By the way I did buy a pack to try they fly great but the whistle bad in the air .
