There is currently a damage hunt going on and the first thing they have been doing is checking guy's broadheads.  You are right, they are considered barbed but the LEO's have been letting guys go with just a warning for now!

so they are soying that they are illegal. I was checked this year and the Gamie said all my gear looked good.
But if they are illegal then what about the strikers the are like twins??

I am not sure on those Joe.  I know lots of guys are still using wac ems here and nobody has been givin a ticket but they are warning for now!   They take a card and slide it in that little slot on the back of the broadhead,  if it can fit in it they consider it to be barbed!  Doesnt make any sense to me but what does in this state!!!!

the broadheads shown are perfectly legal,the blades dont go past 90 degrees at the back, if they are illegal i dont know any that are legal.

Sure doesn't looked barbed to me. That broadhead should be legal.

I've been shooting wac'ems this year.  Good broadhead but I thought they might not be legal do to that notch in the end.  I got them from cabelas online.

i wouldnt change if you like them. we were told shuttle t's and slick tricks were illegal too until 65 threads later proved to be false.  ive killed a few bulls with them but have trouble with bloodtrails even on great shots im usually watching them fall over or hear them drop but finding blood is always tough even knowing his exact route.  they fly great!  i dont know what ill change too though.

It is funny that the state already said the wacem broad head was lwagle and now every one is saying they are not.
