I have seen those in action a few times, Usually they work great, but I also saw one bounce off a toms wing once :twocents:

They did both have complete pass thru's on the gobblers, seems like you see alot of pass thru shot birds take off like they didn't know they were hit. I shot my bird with a Innerloc Falcon Claw, it's got the cutting action of a fixed blade with that small game claw behind it that puts all the energy of the arrow into the bird. Best of both worlds IMO.

Good luck whatever head is on the arrow you let fly this spring.

Bow Dad, Thanks for the tip, I am going to order some 100 gr. Innerloc's and try them this spring!
