Looking for BroadHead

[JoeVon]

Sounds good.  I think I'll go with the Grizz.

I bought the slick trick magnums and shot them today and they shot dead on at 30 yards. I also shot the T-locks and they were dead on also and they seemed pretty sharp to me.

The T-Locks are not legal in Washington State

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.

They're not barbed if that's what your thinking? And they're not sharp on the back edge either.

The key is they don't form a smooth line toward the feather end of the shaft. The fact that they form a 90 degree back to the shaft is what makes them illegal. That 90 is what constitutes a barb.

I guess I was mistaken....

Call Brenda Kane at 360-902-2349....she is a WDFW Judge. She is a very nice Lady and will certainly clarify it for you since you don't want to believe me.

  We go through every year

[vanhornhunter]

Wow I guess I better tell Joe at Archery world. See if he'll trade me back for some shuttle T's instead.

Okay now what the hell. Unless I fell off the boat, and unless u r referencing something other than a shuttle t lock, every damn Broadhead on the shelve has close to a 90 degree back. Muzzy, montec, slick trick. If they are not, then they are damn close. So, help explain what's up. By the way, I f****** hate the rules in this state. Soon the actual bend in a hook will be considered a barb, and we will be left to use the ancient " toggle hook". 

The key is they don't form a smooth line toward the feather end of the shaft. The fact that they form a 90 degree back to the shaft is what makes them illegal. That 90 is what constitutes a barb.

Actually that smooth unbroken line on a T lock does not angle toward the point
either. Look at a Thunderhead that line actually angles back towards the point. So I call BS.

Had to start another reply the last one was messing with me as I typed. My point is that the law is how you interpret it. Billy says 90 degrees constitutes a barb! I say Bull!  Show me that in writing from the WAC's or RCW's since the regs don't reference one for this specifically. It states may not angle towards the point, 90 degrees is neither towards the point nor away from it but most importantly it's not angled towards! Maybe the WDFW should put in a picture of what they really mean! I understand Brenda is a Judge for the WDFW ( not sure if this means she is a lawyer type judge ) but I would almost guarantee she errs to the side of caution.
