They make a barbed and non-barbed version. Never used them bugbear they are pretty good.

Whether you would be ticketed or not I expect depends on how much the gamie wanted to knitpick. But technically it does not have a completely closed...smooth unbroken edge as clearly stated in the WDFW equipment rules. I believe it is a reasonable good head, but I would not risk it.

I do know some guys on the east coast that have taken a few whitetail with them. The reports I got is they were a little noisy, but none of the dead deer seemed to mind. The best test of any broadhead in my mind is how many animals you watch go down in sight. From those guys on small whitetail it sounds as though they are better than average.

If true ther might be hope! But dang if that gap isn't big when attached to a carbon arrow.

There has been an issue with the steap blade angles and no long point skipping off animals on hard quartering shots. Always a concern with super short ferrules and steap blades.

Me either but i have only seen one game warden in my long 5 year hunting career. But still not worth the risk to me. Besides i have slick tricks :chuckle:
