Like a fishing lure, Either they catch fish, or they catch you!

Looks like a dumb idea, no way a laser will tell where you will hit at 70yards(like it says), let alone the whistle the hollow point will make at 280fps, animal will jump everytime!!

Just thought of something else, I shot arrows with four vanes.  I usually don't pay attention to how I nock an arrow and could accidently nock one of these suckers upside down resulting in a really bad miss.

Hey Guys I was posting thread to check out the hollow point broadhead not so much the laser.  Bow plant just linked a video on youtube about the hollow point. Check it out.

Yeah that sounds pretty dumb. My guess you can sight the arrow in for a certain range...Ill stick with my 6 pin sight and lots of practice.

The only use that I see for this product would be bow tuning. Verifying that your arrows and your pins are lined up and flying straight in the "x" plane. Other than that I just dont see a practical hunting use for them. I think it would be better if they had these available in field points to use at the range for sighting and tuning purposes only.

I don't have anything positive to say, so I'll try to be careful and constructive here.

A hollow point broadhead will not enhance arrow penetration, it will decrease it.  It is simple physics, you have a larger surface area  that is going to increase resistance and therefore decrease penetration.  Why do you think all the trocar tips are sharpened to a chisel point?

A laser dot is not any more accurate than a single pin sight, which in essence is what this product is providing you.  Pure sales pitch with very little truth.  However, it would not be legal here so it is a moot point.

Deeper penetrations because it is.hollow and bores out as it cuts?  :chuckle: give me a break. Are these guys serious?

Maybe the hollow goes through the broadhead and into the arrow so the hollowed out stuff has a place to go?   :dunno:    :bash:

It is a another gimmick marketed to make archery hunting easier for the dumb and lazy....a sign of more junk to come in the future!

[And some chide me for wanting to keep electronics off of bows and arrows...just wait and see where it all ends up if one exception gets made to the 'no electronics' rule!]

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.

give me a break!!   Gimmick, and waste of money.  Arrow flies in an arc so the laser is worthless...and hollow points are designed so a bullet expands and releases it's energy on the target.    Bow hunting is not about transferring shock.

Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

This broadhead penetrates deeper because the laser will burn/melt the meat and bone infront of it's path. 

I think this laser will eliminate the peep and sight up to 30 yards.

I like the idea of a laser field tip.  I'd pair it with a laser fixed to the bow.  If you shot your arrow and it hit right or left of where the arrow laser point, you could move the arrow rest in or out to correct (in a well tuned bow, the arrow should hit in line with where it is pointing).  The laser on the bow, you would want to to line up with the arrow rest and should line up with the arrow's laser at full draw a (if you torque the bow, the arrow rest laser would come off the target).  Without torque, both lasers would hit the same vertical line, and if you moved the arrow rest in or out, the laser sight picture should stay the same.  Once you had the bow tuned, you could move your sight pins in or out to line up with the laser dots.

I suspect I just described how real laser tuning is done...minus the laser in the arrow.

You could do the same thing with a sight pin, but when you moved your arrow rest in or out, you would have to adjust your sight in or out to compensate for the change.
