Check out the youtube link.
I know the laser is not legal in this state but if you go to there website you can check out there hollow point broadhead.
I have shot both and I am excited to try out the hollow point in this state. I shot the hollow point broadhead clean through my glendale buck. Amazing!!!!

without watching the video, i'm trying really hard to figure out how a perfectly linear laser in line with an arrow will benefit an archer in any way...

I agree. I fail to see the benefit of a laser beyond 15 or 20 yards. And that close, why do you need a laser?
Seems like the answer to the question nobody asked.
Keep trying fella's.

I have seen and played with these. You put it on an arrow and then sight that arrow in to a specific yardage. If the animal moves from 20-40 you will need to change arrows to the 40 yard arrow.
I assume the hollow point is the sake head without the laser? If that's the case ill pass. The heads themselves are junk IMO not straight and look like thunderheads.

Looks pretty stupid IMHO.... If it is so great, why did the guy still have sight pins on his bow?

just something to spend your extra cash. on and to much to deal with in the field, what if the deer is walking you'll have to put one arrow away and get a new one out for that yardage. not even considering it doing its job if you ever hit a animal with one, just a sick joke.

Out to 70 yards at what lb., draw length, speed, etc. I know my laser on one of my AR's is visible at 100 yards in the right light conditions. It probably would take a lot of adjusting to get it just right. Interesting concept.
Add another $15 to an already $10 dollar broadhead. You thought ammo was expensive.

So you have to have a different arrow for each yardage. Sounds stupid, plus last broadhead I shot was completly destroyed so that would probably become expensive pretty quick. Then there is the whole poaching aspect, laser broadhead

Very interesting adaptation of technology. Since it's a WA company I hope to see you do well. They certainly have the WOW factor.
Hopefully your material costs come down significantly for you so you can lower your price point. $50 per broadhead is a pretty narrow market; just ask Alaska Bowhunter Supply and Silver Flame, and they're only at $30-35 per head.

Just the beginning of adapting the technology. The next version will probably interface with a bow mounted rangefinder and auto adjust the laser for range changes. The version after that will probably interface real time with the bow and have moving vanes so you can steer the arrow from the bowsight. The version after that will probably have a thermal optic in the broadhead and doesn't need to be aimed, just steers itself to the critter.

A better idea (though not legal) would be to put the magnet on the broadhead and the laser on the bow? Wonder if you had it coming in at an angle if the intersection of the laser and your sight pins might also give you correct yardage...going to doodle on paper. And if set up right should eliminate torque.
Yes, can get a yardage doing that, but it would not correlate with the pins you would use.
Now if I had the laser emitted from the top of my bow (15 inches above arrow for my Z7 with 70 lb draw) hitting a target at 50 yards 5 inches higher than the point of impact of the arrow, you could theoretically have the point of impact within 5 inches of the laser dot all the way from 12-50 yards. Hmmm...interesting. If I mounted the laser on some sort of extension off the top of my bow (lets say 30 inches above arrow). I would be within 5 inches from 20-60 yards
