.017" in-line blades?

That's pretty thin isn't it?

17/1000s does seen thin by today's standards, but I have some old Wasp Cam-Locs and their blades were 15/1000. I took an elk with one of these several years ago. It went through a rib on the near side and stopped in the shoulder on the off side. Blades remained intact and sharp. So I think that they should be thick enough. Maybe.

I would think and hope they run these broadheads through a rigorous test.

dw,

I was wondering if you developed any more opinions on these broadheads. I saw them at my local WalMart here in SC and on the mention you made went ahead a bought me a 3-pack. I haven't had a chance to shoot them yet, and was wondering if you still like yours. The last couple of years I've used Slicktricks and have been very happy with them. But if these shoot just as good, they sure are a lot cheaper.

I picked some up a couple of days ago. Haven't shot them yet because I discovered right from the start that they are not for me. The head that I got were dead dull. I couldn't disassemble the head to get the blades out for sharpening, and couldn't find any replacement blades anyway. These will just go into the box with other rejects.

I'd sure like to try them out but the WalMart near me doesn't have any hunting gear.

broadheads

I saw those heads at walmart and almost bought some, but told myself no I already have 18 brand new sonic heads for this season. They really look good and the price is untouchable. They were in the package so I could not check blade sharpness but I know they should fly well very compact and small, should catch little wind. Makes you wonder why other broadheads cost so much more?? There must be alot of mark up there. Here is the link to the site: http://www.eastmanoutfitters.com/broadheads.shtml

Thanks for the input.

Maybe I'll get out and shoot them this weekend and then I'll tell you what I think.
