They look very interesting indeed. I enjoyed reading their FAQ page.

Questions? We have answers!
1. "What the heck is a modular weight system, is that a new diet plan?" - my wife
My Wife,
No, the Patent Pending Modular Weight system I (your husband) created is not a diet plan and please refer to the tab under the FAQ, this will explain it all.
2. "What is the difference between the single and double bevel broadheads?" - Your mom
Your mom,
We get this question quite often. A double bevel broadhead is ground on both sides of the blade. A single bevel broadhead is only ground on opposing sides of the blade. Our single bevel is also a right sided bevel.
The advantage of a single bevel is that the broadhead truly rotates in an "S" fashion upon striking flesh or bone. The single bevel does truly rotate in the animal and tears the stuffing out of animals. It is very impressive. Google search "Dr. Ashby Reports" and read a bit about it if you get a chance. The premise is that the offset grinds create a strong rotational effect in the animal (through tissue and breaking bone) whereas the traditional two blade is more of a "stab" wound. Single bevel is more of a "spiral" wound. A few shots into a 3D target and you will see the difference. Removing the broadhead will "twist" and normally bring out a chunk of foam. They are very hard on targets!
Double bevels are nice because they fly so well and all of the energy is used to "stab" through the animal, almost guaranteeing a pass through, regardless of bow poundage and arrow weight. Our double bevels are seriously sharp (use caution handling them) and slice through flesh very easily. On top of that, they are easier to resharpen.
At the end of the day it is a "Ford vs. Chevrolet" debate and each person must choose the broadhead that fits them best.
3. "How well do your broadheads fly? " - R. Hood, The Forest
Mr. Hood,
Our broadheads are engineered to fly straight and true out of the fastest bows and crossbows as well as traditional gear. We have a number of very happy clients shooting them out to 80 and even 100 yards. The cross bleeder blade helps stabilize the arrow in flight. You will not be disappointed in the flight of a DirtNap Gear broadhead.
4. "Does anyone use these broadheads with crossbows?" - C. Norris, Texas
C. Norris,
We have a growing number of very happy crossbow customers. We have had great reports of flight out of crossbows and numerous compliments on how the Modular Weight System (M.W.S) allowed the crossbow shooter to adjust the bolt weight to fit his setup perfectly.
5. "Which is better chocolate or powdered donuts?" -F. Albert, Detroit
Mr. Albert,
Definitely chocolate. Some of our customers prefer sprinkles but at the end of the day, that important decision is up to you.
6. "How can I apply for Pro Staff?" -J. Shockey, Canada
J. Shockey,
Pro Staff applications are reviewed in July of every year for the upcoming fall season. We suggest all Pro Staff hopefuls to purchase a pack of our broadheads to test them on your own. We then ask that you submit a review of our product so that we can see how you communicate. This system benefits both parties as we get to see how you communicate and you get to thoroughly test the product.
7. "Will you sponsor our team/show/prostaff?" -Rotten Possum Productions, Arkansas
Rotten,
Sponsorships are basically designed to see how well you can promote our brand. We look at your website, youtube/vimeo clip, facebook, twitter, instagram, etc...to see how you handle yourself and communicate with the public. We strongly believe in respect for nature and the outdoors. For us, it's not about all the trophies on your wall, it's about the experience. People with that mindset are people we want to work with. We only offer a limited amount of sponsorships a year as we are poor.
8. " You must have tons of money, can't you share just a little bit?" - B. Obama, Washington
B. Obama,
We are a family based company, meaning my wife and I.... and that is all! Every single item that leaves our hands (whether it be a decal, shirt, or broadheads), has been handled/packaged/produced by us. We have spent our own savings and income to get this company started and this is why you will eat Ramen Noodles if you are ever invited over for dinner. We have have not received hand outs, government loans, or winning lottery tickets. We are just hard working people with a dream to provide excellent products and fantastic customer service. We handle all the marketing, testing, assembling, and packaging of our products...including bandaging each others cuts from handling the broadheads...we do it all.
9. "Is your broadhead available in deep six?" - D. Diggler, Hollywood
Mr. Diggler,
We are trying to determine if our customers really want Deep Six compatibility. As of right now, there is not a strong desire but if you are interested in us producing deep six heads please contact us. If we get enough request, we might just do it.
10. "Do you ship internationally?" - J. Bond, England
Mr. Bond,
We do ship internationally, all the time. The price of shipping can vary but a good rule of thumb is $15-30 USD per shipment, depending on size and your time requirements.
11. "Is Tom that good looking in person?" - no one ever
No one ever,
Tom is a beast of a man and his glaring good looks make goats and old women nervous.
