I bought them, but they are not flying well for me.  Need to do some tuning before I rule the broadhead out though.

You better check them for being legal. The book says that the back of the blade must taper towards the feathers/fletches. they look very 90 degree to me in the pic
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

This if from the book it just need to be closed n the back end of the blade.

It is unlawful to hunt with a broadhead blade unless the broadhead is unbarbed and completely closed to 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.

"starting at maximum blade width forming a smooth line toward the feather. "

the secret to legal is what you found in the book and quoted. Just being closed is not enough. The back must taper towards the fletch.

I asked about this years ago when I first started archery hunting.

The idea the G/W I talked to gave me was that they don't want you using broadheads that act like the barb of a fishing hook....hence the closed in the back and forming a straight line quotation.

You can't have closed in the back, but angling back TOWARDS the tip--and that would be illegal.
I can't imagine anyone hassling you over 90° rather than an obvious taper to the fletch...but I'm no G/W...just speculating.
I left it better than I found it...did you?
I hunt animals because veggies are too easy to stalk.

those things shred awesome. wound channel out the ying yang. pretty original on their designs over there.  they are hard to practice with cuz they spiral into the target making them hard to pull out but when it comes to killing they get it done. 

my unkle is a muzzy fanatic but these things have him hooked.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I have them.  They seem to be okay, but dull quickly, are a pain to sharpen, so you have to buy repl. blades, an do not seem to take a beating well.  The tip gets bunged up pretty easy, and the blades on ming show some "chipping" even though they have only been shot into my block target for the most part, or the hay bail behind it.
I would not choose to buy them again, even though I like the concept.

Demontang here has had good luvck with them though.

I use a diamond to sharpen them and they have held up to a lot of abuse. I have broken two but I dont think any broad head would have take that abuse. I shot an elk with one and the blade was still sharp, I missed an elk and hit a old stump and that one is still sharp too. :dunno:
