    I have heard nothing but biased reviews on the toxic broadheads has any one used them during turkey season or tested them to know what they are all about?

    I got a pack of em that I think I may give a try this season. Getting warmed up with some pre-season shooting right now, but here in a couple weeks I am gonna break them out and get an idea on their flight. If they fly true I may give them a try this fall, and I will give an update if I get lucky.

    If I don't like the way they are flying I will toss em back in the case and update that result as well.

    I used them on turkey in the spring and couldn't believe the damage they cause. They are something worth checking out and if you want to see them in use check out there website

    The flight has been tested and proven to be fine and i dont think blood trail is going to be an issue. The thing i think everyone is waiting on is penetration ability (at least i am). it is a lot of blade to pass through a deer and im curious how they will do on bone. just a waiting game right now.

    I wonder if deer hide would be an issue with this head? Like a circular chunk of hide getting stuck...? Anyone advise?

    I'm using for bear hopefully soon. I'll post results right away. Saw some pics on their Facebook page and looked good, but I'm sure it'll take time for more unbiased reviewing too, I wanted to try firsthand to see for myself.

    there is a site (maybe the flying arrow site) that shows the creator used this broadhead on an elk hunt and shows the damage it did to the elk.



    found it

    First Look: Flying Arrow Toxic Broadhead - Bowhunter

    has a slideshow at the bottom, guess he used a prototype?

    I gotta say the toxic destroyed the bear. He was just barely standing quartering towards/broadside, hit lungs, maybe liver. Destroyed ribs on the way in, other side, and again entering leg and broke into that. Flew true. That was 20 yard shot. Since its my only kill I can't compare, but I'd say can't complain with what it did in any way

    Here's a few shots of what it did to him. When we found him and I flipped him over his insides fell out the exit hole. The one pic shows the entry into his leg after passing through ribs and everything. I can't say they'll always do great or better than worse than, but pretty happy I went with them for this

    He's not the biggest, but he'll taste great and for my first bowkill I'll take it.

    For only shot on animal and shooting for practice they've done what they're supposed to for me. Can't promise not a lucky fluke, can't promise they're gold, but very happy with result of it so far. Definitely curious to see more use them and how it goes for them. I'm going to try others too to see how everything goes firsthand.
