    That is cutting it pretty close.

[WDFW-SUX]

Its just comical we are the only state that can't use shuttle-T's, wackems slick tricks etc

[mossback91]

I think the slicktrick is just over 90 degrees...........

[boneaddict]

What 91.5 or so. 

[WDFW-SUX]

BS your just stealing from the rest of us law abiding hunters

Who needs a crappy expensive Slick Trick when you can get 6 Wasp Bullets for 28 bucks on Bowhunters Superstore. They will fly better and are tougher!

I have been using the crimson talon xt for a few years now. the original had blades that weren't legal but the xt has a different blade. flies very  well and opens an unbelievable hole.

I've been using Thunderhead 125 grain.  For me they shoot about the same as my practic tips.  You should try to tune your broadheads to your vains.  Meaning get them lined up so your vains and broadhead blades are in line if you are looking down the arrow shaft, if you use a 3 blade broadhead.

Wac'em Tritons are legal in WA, their more than 90 degrees, I was stopped by a WDFW officer last year during early Deer season and he checked my and my buddies equipment, my buddy had shuttle T's and I had Tritons, he made my buddy put his arrows in the truck, and I just watched in amazement, my buddy was pissed to say the least, he just bought 3 packs of shuttle T's.

Thank you for your recent e-mail to WDFW.  Your e-mail has been forwarded to me for a response.

 

The broadhead in the picture below is not lawful for hunting if the rear of the blade is perpendicular to the shaft.   From the picture you provided the angle appears to be 90-degrees. 

 

As you already know, the current archery equipment restrictions require the back of the blade to form a smooth, unbroken surface toward the feather end of the shaft.  Since a 90-degree line cannot also angle toward the feather end of the shaft, this blade is not lawful for hunting in our state.

Subject: legal broadhead for WA state?


i am emailing to check legality of a broadhead for bowhunting big game in WA state, the head in question is a Trophy Taker Shuttle T-lock, pic provided.

the rule in question is the back of the blade must be smooth unbroken line toward the feather end of the shaft, and not toward the  point. this head has a 90 degree angle from the arrow shaft to the back of the blade. it does not angle either way. can you give me a difinitive answer as to if these are legal or not?

thank you,

DUDE! you cant just post a picture of a Shuttle online like that! what if my mom or someone caught me looking at it? Id be so embarrassed!

Maybe we should hunt down the guy that wrote the description for the regs and get clarification!! It almost looks like they left it a gray area on purpose. Look at all the broadheads guys are using and tell me they don't fall into the same category as the ST. Oh, and that Triton definitely looks barbed to me!

[WDFW-SUX]

You guys are poachers.. and im turning you in

Wac'em Tritons are legal in WA, their more than 90 degrees, I was stopped by a WDFW officer last year during early Deer season and he checked my and my buddies equipment, my buddy had shuttle T's and I had Tritons, he made my buddy put his arrows in the truck, and I just watched in amazement, my buddy was pissed to say the least, he just bought 3 packs of shuttle T's.

reading this says they are illegal... not completely closed at the back end with a smooth unbroken line. to me it looks like it angles back toward the point.

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.

THESE BROADSHEAD LAWS ARE *censored*!!!!!!!!! AND YES, I KNOW I AM YELLING!!!!

Slick Trick and Shuttle Tee's are illegal!!!..... Mine aren't!!!.................
