QAD Exodus Broadheads?

[troyspinetar]

Anyone try these? I am looking for my first set of broadheads, reviews look good. Is it wise to pick up a couple different ones and see which shoot well with your particular bow?
Thanks.

I'm not sure to many people will be using them since they're not legal in Washington.

I have heard guys saying the "Full Blade" version is legal according to phone calls to the WDFW.  But I would want it in writing before I believed it.  Still one heck of a barb on there even with the full blade model.

i'd want that in writing too.  They look okay I guess just not sure if I'd shoot them.

I have been shooting the full model since the first of the year. They are doing very well for me. My local game warden has said they are legal. He would be the one giving the ticket so I will trust him

I would only carry them in my quiver If like Carp said......I know the local warden, he knows me, already gave me the go ahead, that kind of thing. However, statewide....that is one heck of an open gap. I would think that your AVERAGE warden would write you up and then keep looking for what else he can write up.

I would say that someone should email the department, but i remember when someone asked about the shuttle t and the responses wdfw gave.  i know theyre legal in idaho. So i would presume wa would allow as well but have not confirmed.

Here's a pic of it

d.   It is unlawful to hunt big game
animals with a broadhead blade unless
the broadhead is unbarbed and completely
closed at the back end of the
blade or blades by a smooth, unbroken
surface starting at maximum blade width
and forming a smooth line toward the
feather end of the shaft, and such line
does not angle toward the point


So....I only post this to show that local wardens are not always "right" by the book but are I suppose making judgement decisions. The pic clearly shows that the broadhead is very much not "completely closed" at the back.

[BULLBLASTER]

By the letter of the law the wac em would be illegal as well. The wac em is widely seen as legal.
my view is that the open rear portion of the blade will be substantially filled up with the arrow shaft amd thus in essence closing the barb. 

[h20hunter]

Excellent point regarding the shaft of the arrow...

Carp....do you have a pic of the head mounted?

[troyspinetar]

Yep these sure look like they are not fully closed...

[D-Rock425]

I like the idea of it but I question the durability of the blades.

[RadSav]

They do not make one for every arrow shaft diameter.  So what might not be seen as a major gap with a 22/64" diameter arrow might seem excessive with a 16/64" micro diameter arrow.  Major difference between it and the Wack'em.  Though I would assume if you ever went to court after being given a ticket from some "By the written Law" leo you would lose your case.

It is one of the archery regulations in this state that is actually based on a sound principle.
