Toxic Broadheads

Postby Stateline » 10 05, 2013 •  [Post 1]

Just curious if anyone has any reviews on the toxic broadheads? I was not impressed with the look of them origionally and almost vowed to never own them. My cousin, on the other hand, gave in to curiosity and bought a pack. After being fairly impressed with its performance and penetration on 3D targets, its gimicky look began to really peak our interest. So much so, in fact, that he added one to his hunting quiver. Well, opportunity knocked quickly, and the result was phenominal. Blood trail would have been outstanding if necessary, but he died within sight. Full pass-through with the arrow burrowing deep into the dirt behind him. Seemed to good to be true, just wondered if anyone else has used them? I know they aren't legal in all states, so I'm sure I'm asking a small minority, but what has been observed so far? The blades seemed to hold up very well. To say the least I was impressed, but one shot isn't much to base an opinion on. Let me know. Thanks.

In my testing with the head, I have had no problems with flight or recovering my deer. I have had complete pass-through on my shots (through the chest cavity). The furthest a deer has gone is 49 yds from the shot. Blood trail was more than ample.

To date, I have taken 4 deer with them.

We are not allowed to photo our deer if harvested in the state program, otherwise I would have photos.

I could try to take a doe off our private property this weekend, if you would like to some pics.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't heard a negative review yet. Maybe they are going to stand the test of time. I'm impressed. Happy hunting and thanks again.
