I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this. I was browsing on Amazon.com and came across Toxic Broadheads from Flying Arrow Archery sold by Amazon for $8.12 (regular $44.95).....sale price. Seemed impossible to me so I called Amazon to ask the country of origin. They said it's by Flying Arrow Archery and they had no information besides that. I then contacted Jason Rager, the V.P. of flying arrow archery and sent him a snapshot of the Amazon add. His response was NO WAY! I'LL BE LOOKING INTO THIS TOMORROW! I WOULD NEVER SELL DIRECTLY TO AMAZON!
I just wanted to point this out because I think the Toxics are an awesome broadhead but someone could inadvertently buy a cheap nockoff thinking they were getting a great deal when in fact they're buying junk. I saw the add and it looks perfectly legit. I'm just suspicious by nature and always think if it sounds too good to be true it usually is. Don't get fooled.

Just because he doesn't sell direct doesn't mean a distributor or a store or shop of some sort hasn't got them listed as overstock or returned items listed as used.. But I'm a firm.believer if its to good to be true usually it is

The local shop here has the 125gr toxics for $63.00/3 pack before tax. In the U.S. they're usually between $40 - $50 for the same 3 pack. If anyone was selling them for $8.12 USD per 3 pack I would buy a case of them....if they weren't fakes.BryanGrizzlyohio wrote:Just because he doesn't sell direct doesn't mean a distributor or a store or shop of some sort hasn't got them listed as overstock or returned items listed as used..

i was looking into battle axe broadheads and found the same thing. cheap knockoffs on ebay. i contacted the antler insanity and they said they were not theirs. someone is always out to screw someone these days.
Re: Buyers Beware! Warning. o/t...sort of
not always a knock off. I found grizztricks for 9.99 a pack. Bought all they had which was 3 packs off Amazon. Sometimes good deals are just that.

Re: Buyers Beware! Warning. o/t...sort of
Hey Mike, maybe yours were legit but most people looking at the toxics on Amazon would think they were originals. They use the flying arrow archery name and have copied their packaging perfectly and are being sold by Amazon. However, Amazon's lack of information in regards to who they purchased from and the country of origin combined with the manufacturer saying NO WAY leaves me speechless.newbie wrote:not always a knock off.
