My first impression of the broadhead was that the design is very simplistic. While inspecting the titanium wire blades, I found that the wires are not round but are actually triangle in shape, which makes more sense as why it can cut as it does.
The titanium wire blades are easy to install and are super safe to handle. I also found that the rear of the wire blades sit in long groves that runs along the base of the shaft of the broadhead. As the broadhead goes through bone or tough cartilage, it flattens out and travels inside this grove. After passing through the bone or cartilage, the wire blades snap back into shape traveling back along these groves. This also is what keeps the wire locked in the shaft so that the wire does not come loose from the Ferrell as it passes through the deer. Another thing I noticed was the tip of the broadhead. The trocar style tip should split and penetrate bone with minimal problems and both the corners and tip are very sharp.
Of course, looks aren’t everything and it won’t be very effective unless it is able to cut and cause damage to flesh as it enters… so I got a piece of paper and put it to the test.
In the last picture down below you can see that with just a little pressure inserted while drawing it along the paper it makes an even cut to the paper.
I know that the proof won’t actually be until it goes through a deer this fall but so far I am impressed with the design and I have high expectations of these heads. I guess we’ll see this fall… unless a hog happens to step into range before then.
