Rotating Broadhead?????

Hey guys,

I wanted to get your thoughts on this style of broadhead in general and also the pros and cons of using it for elk.

I use the Crossfire from NAP and love them, never used the one you posted though. Check the regulations to make sure that you can use a rotating broadbead.

 

I would think an independent broadhead like this would resist arrow spin and make your arrow less accurate unless they made the friction coefficient large enough to resist it during flight but small enough to still turn inside an animal.

 

This is a good thought. I just read through the regs, but I will double check if I decide to go this way!

 

So what you are saying is that if the broadhead doesn't spin, that equals less accurate? Even if the fletching is spinning?

 

I could somewhat see this. If the broadhead isn't spinning with absolutely 100% no friction then it could conceivably counter-act the rotation of the arrow?? causing less accuracy.

For me, too many moving parts, no apparent gain to killing functionality or penetration, I say NO. I want a solid head for elk.
