    These broadheads are wicked! They fly great, silent in flight (which really surprised me) and cut a nasty hole in that target and orange! I think they will be a definite possibility for me this fall, i wont be too worried about penetration with my 80+ft/lb of Kinetic energy setup, i think they may work quite nicely!

    I just watched a video about these heads on another forum. They were shooting them through milk jugs. They seem to leave a good wound channel, but as stated before, I'm thinkin these heads will take a lot of KE on a live animal.

    I just saw these this weekend. If I'm mistaken please correct me. This company are the guys who started TrophyRidge I'm told. They are finished with there no compete clause and they just came out with these.
    My opinion I believe they are way too expensive. $45.( At townhall archery. )
    And the one he showed me "I believe "did not have the quality of a $45 price tag.
    Maybe I'm wrong?

    I just happen to find a pack in a pro shop near by that carries them and they weren't that expensive $39.99, maybe they were just trying to sell them, I don't know. As for field tip accuracy, I could see that, but from looking at them they look like they are illegal in OH, since we have a 2bl min w/ a 3/4" min cut dia. Would I try them, no I'll stick to montecs,muzzys, and rocky mtns.

    I looked in the shopping section here at bowhunting.com and they are also $39 which is the same price as the Killzones and Rage broadheads so they are priced equally.

    These are, makes them legal in most states.
    These heads maybe 7/8 but don't let it fool you, cutting diameter is trumped by the amount of cutting surface and tear heads have more then any other I can think of.
    These should be a killer head for thin skinned moderate size game.

    Fairly sure Wyoming is the only state that they are not legal in...

    I shot the toxic tonight. Took a chunk out of my Rinehart target. Shot 6 inches to the right from 20 yards-twice. Not sure about this broadhead. Shooting PSE Vendetta with Easton Axis 400s.

    Wow...that hole it put in the turkey is impressive. There is no way a hole like that won't leave a massive blood trail.

    I am with bootlegtater, these may just be my next bh. I saw the video of the turkey kill...wow. Probably a little too early to say, but if these bh's perform that well on bigger game, they might just be the most innovative product of the last decade. I am impressed to say the least.

    What kind of kinetic energy are you guys thinking these will need for a full pass through without hitting any major bones?
