I could not find a price on the web page.

What do those things cost?

I'd say these are purpose designed.

I'd also say that if they work as designed and marketed, there will be less wounded game and more dead game. Recoveries should go up and distance travelled after the shot should go down. Blood trails should be much better too.

I like it but with my bow hunting gear, I like to wait and see. Many folks produce "new and improved" as well as "revolutionary changes" that fail to deliver. My Oneida Strike Eagle is a couple dozen years old. As are the aluminum "logs" it propels downrange. It works. (Thanks Stu for bow-next...I'm saving it til I really need it.)

Nice arrow though. It is logically appealing and kinda wicked pretty.

Depending on the type of rest used I could see those getting hung up and opening on the rest.

$120 for 3 hunting arrows plus 3 practice arrows...I'll pass. Arrow would need to be longer than norm so the inset blade would not hit the rest and 2 more blades going through lungs or heart won't make the deer any deader. Seems like a gimmick to me.

I agree, I would not be able to shoot them.

It has a drop down menu for your draw length..so the blades are past the bow...They are pricey though so I dont know about buying any yet.

I suppose there's a fine line there.

They look deadly.

Legal in MD to use, as long as the broadheads are 7/8"

I actually think it would lead to less deer recoveries. Its going to lack penetration due to its size. One hole, most likely plugged up with the arrow that cannot fall out because of the big blades.

A deer will be just as dead with the regular broadhead and arrow if hit in the correct spot.

I suspect that the shaft length has to be long enough to put the blades past the rest, i.e. one long assed arrow that weighs a ton and will have the trajectory of a log shot from a bow.. no thanks.. I'll stick with a traditional shaft and broadhead.. it's always worked fine for me.. lol

I have a mechanical that works just like the shaft insert. Shot one deer this season and it died on the spot. It was also a heart shot Stacking the broadhead and the mechanical seems a little iffy to me.
