Yes, there is a law. You cannot use a broadhead where the blade does not have a straight surface along the back of the broadhead (i.e. anything that would create a "barb).

why is that? also the ones that fold open when you try to pull them out, you would think it would make for a quicker kill being stuck in there cutting everything up while the animal is running. :dunno:
