legal broadhead
« on: November 22, 2010, 10:35:42 AM »
Can anyone with experience please tell me if this is a legal broadhead for deer in WA?  This is a pic of the G5 Montec CS.  I just want to make sure my kid doesn't get a ticket based on a technical detail in the regs.  Thanks for any help.  -Gobble Doc

Legal for sure as long as it has 1 1/8 cutting dia.  which they do.  better off to get a broad head with changeable blades  :twocents:

it only has to be 7/8 not 1 1/8.  Those are legal

Thanks Everyone.  Good to know I'm OK.  What I must be reading wrong is when the regs talk about the back edge of the blade?  It seems like it reads to me that if a blade has an "arc" on the back side that angles or curves toward the point at all, i.e. away from the "feather end of the shaft" then it is not OK.  Hey, it's not the first time I've been wrong.

I think they float the line of legal but still follow what I assume the intent of the law to be. Which in my mind is that the broadhead would have a chance of working out of an animal if a bad shot was made. I would say go with it and be confident if you ever get stopped.

I checked mine (i use the same ones) and they are legal.  They fly great, and are hard as hell.  They are the most durable broadheads I have used, I dont think I'm going to switch away from them anytime soon.

My  :twocents:  is that you'll be better off learning how to sharpen your fixed blade broadheads.

I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

Took my elk this year with that exact broadhead (see "Closing the Deal").  Yes, they are legal and not barbed at the back, the back edge is more than 90 degrees from the shaft, making it legal.  I did break one however when I hit bone, one of the blades actually broke  :o  I was surprised, but will keep using them, as we've still had better luck with them over other broadheads.
