The rear of the razor wire is not 100% fixed. It is designed to have some give to it. However, it is fully closed at the rear.

The flew true and did the job.

FYI, if you get them do not test them by running your finger over the surface quickly, you will need some stitches to close it up.

Just may be the worst head since the Viper or the Flying Pizza Cutter. Not sure I would even subject a poor little squirrel or possum to one of those things. Seriously - You really have to hold one in your hands to see how awful they really are.

A highschool buddy of mine accidently pulled a Judo point out of his quiver and shot a cow elk with it. She went about 40 yards and fell over dead. Doesn't mean it's a good option for big game hunting. Just means he was stupid and damn lucky all at the same time.

"Successful" and "Efficient" are considereably different actions.

He hit it pefectly, double lung! The deer went almost 700 yards before it layed down and then took another 15-20 minutes to die after that..
There was a Small hole through both lungs almost as if the wires had layed down as they passed through..
TERRIBLE BROADHEAD! :twocents:
