Did I get fake broadheads?

[fadetoblack188]

I ordered a set of nap broadheads doublecross from Amazon. I feel like they seem fake? Maybe I am just crazy.  I’m going to weigh them later. 

 

They are are made in China?

Looks real to me. If it's not, it's a damn good knockoff.

The knockoff heads from China will not come in packaging like that and they are generally pretty careful about not putting the knockoff name anywhere. Those are not knockoffs. The knockoffs come in plastic baggies generally.

If they were knockoffs and NAP made those in USA it would probably lie on the package.

I saw a vid by G5 and some of the Montec knockoffs are well packaged.

Given what the chinese are doing with these I might want to only buy broadheads from stores, frankly.

unless they updated the packaging this year thats not the nap package i got when i bought mine.  I bought a bunch on clearance and took the bleeders off. i think they work better with out them but got real sick of blades opening up with no retention.

Maybe he went off to China to compare by eye

[moog5050]

If he sends them to me, I will do some destructive testing to confirm.

their website says nothing about where they're made, which to me is a clear indication that they're not made in the USA, because if they were they'd be advertising the heck out of that.

nope they are the real deal .... made in China. No knockoff made in China! BWHAHAHA

Depending on the product  a knockoff from china could very well come from the same factory that the  authorized  product came from . The difference can be quality control  or nothing at all .  Its a big problem  overthere that so far only trump is talking about .

Yeah, I think it can be as much as simply running an extra shift and then reselling it themselves.

isn't said you give a place overseas your business. probably make them sign stuff saying they won't pirate your intellectual property and then as soon as you get back on a plane they're already making knockoffs.

Yep that is what they do  .

[Hunter007]

Some companies to limit that part stuff out use  2 or more factory's ship parts back here and Assemble here  , Costs more . But stops  a lot of stuff getting copied at least right away .

companies hate it, but trump is the only one who seems to care. but then part of me is like "well thats what you get for building overseas in the first place"

I agree except, 

My only exception to that is small start ups  the little guy can't get the capital to build here at first  if they are just starting out, But bigger companies they can easily if they want to .
