Slash arrows??

Has anyone else seen these arrows advertised?  I saw an ad for them today while watching a hunting show.  Seems like a good idea that will work, but I personally don't think I would ever shoot one.  I have attached the link to their website.

My initial reaction is to be a little skeptical.

big time

X3 & wonder how many states will allow them

wonder if they are considered barbed

[rob-c]

looks like a weak point that could break...

Don't think they could pass thru

I agree with monkeyman to get a pass threw you would have to have a perfect shot nit catch a rib or anything and probably be pulling back 80 plus pounds.

Yeah, I would be really hesitant to shoot these.  My first concern would be how the arrow sits in my rest.  Where the heck are the actuating mechanisms going to be at full draw?  It appears like you'd have to shoot an arrow that was 2-3 inches longer than your current one.  I know these were just released earlier this fall so it will be interesting to see if anyone actually buys them and uses them.  They're pretty pricey too, $150 per 6.  I know it was mentioned above that a pass through would not likely result, but I think that is part of their design.  To allow for maximum carnage no matter where you hit the deer.  Seems like its an excuse for guys who routinely make poor shots on deer and don't recover it to finally be able to make a recovery from a bad shot.  If that makes any sense.

Oh that's just plain silly ...... lol. It brings to mind Chuck Adams' commercial about it being like throwing an axe through the animal.

OK - I will be the first to say I think its a pretty cool idea.  I shoot 80lbs and would be willing to give them a shot, but $150 for 3 hunting arrows is very pricey.  I shot rage hypos last year and they did a great job.  The only time I didn't get a ton of blood was when I had organ pieces literally falling through the wound clogging the hole.  The deer dropped quick.  That said, I probably wouldn't shell out that kind of money for arrows.

you can get broadheads larger enough that I don't think they're required.  also arrows are expensive enough without this stuff.  also how do you tune or practice with your bow without shooting them and wearing them out?  not really inclined to use them.

Use these WITH those broadheads! omg

It really makes you wonder who sells more worthless crap to try to pry your money out of your pocket ..... The archery equipment industry or the fishing lure manufacturers ..... lol.

 

But you know, these guys will make a pile of money. They're just capitalizing on those that have to have the latest and the greatest .... lol.
