Is anyone out there familiar with the pictured broadheads? (I hope the images show up)
I would like to know who made them, when and how they are designed to open.......I dont see any way to put a rubber "o' ring on them.

Thanks for your help!

Do you think that they may be designed to be fired in the open position,and they would reverse if you had to pull it out of the animal?
Sure doesn't seem to be any advantage to firing them in the forward postion!(may even be dangerous to handle)

Yea Bob,
I was thinking of that also.....but how big of a market would there be for them. Gotta be the dumbest design I ever saw. Think I'll put them on Ebay and see what I get!
Whoops, I erased my Pictures....got to get them back on!!

Thanks for responding

I don't remember the brand name, but I do remember they made a spring addictivated one as well.

What I could find from a couple of guys I talked too they are designed to be fired in the open position. They could not remember the name. I have a couple of books coming so maybe I can find the name.

EB could tell ya what they are(name)

And if I remember correctly, the blades rotated forward for easier broadhead removal from broadhead targets.

They are the first broadheads I bought. They are Puckets elkhead and are not a mechanical. The blades are shot in the back position but puckets would tell you it did not really matter if they were forward. The reason they went forward was mainly so they were not classed as barbed head, but also for easy removal. The wedgehead model had a wedge cut out of the tip. These broadheads out of probably two dozen I own are the worst of the lot.
