I could see red spray coming out as both deer ran off. I will be using them again this fall. I used 3 blade points out of modern equipment when penetration wasn't a concern.

i saw those and they looked awesome however kentucky regs wont let me use barbed points like that for hunting.
osage outlaw:
Have you checked the regulations lately? They used to be illegal in Indiana and some other states. Since the mechanical broadheads came out a lot of states have removed the barbed restriction. That's why Zwickey reintroduced the Cliff Zwickey point. I know they are legal in Michigan and Indiana now. I'm not sure about Kentucky.
Mafort:
hmmm i guess they changed it. i looked it up and it just says they cant be chemically treated and must be 7/8 wide.
archeryrob:
The lansky is a 22.5 angle, but I don't think they angle is that important. Its a broad head penetrating at 130FPS or faster by the time it gets to the deer and not a knife.
A long sloping blade like the Bod-Kin will cut better than the Trocar chisel points my daughter uses on her compound with a 45 degree angle of attack and they kill and bleed out just fine. Worryign abut the angle of the grind is overkill, IMO. Traditional guys have been stropping with files for a ragged serrated edge for years and it kills just fine because of the speed of the entry, but you wouldn't want to butcher with it. ;D

Clint,
Love that kind of blood trail, no doubt you found that deer...I used Zwicky Eskimo for years...Love the 2 blade and more importantly the "cut on contact tip"...The cut on contact point penetrates much easier than a chisel point...
