OK I cannot remember the exact name of the broadhead but the rep who set my new bow up today showed me what looks like a 3 leaf clover with a 1/4" chisel tip in the center now the 3 circles are heavy razors on the leading edge and broken on the outside center so its like 2 half circles facing each other for each leaf. Each leaf was 1/2"dia.+- and they shot it through a 1/2" pc of cabinet grade plywood so there were 3 circles going in the front face but the entire backside was blown out like a bullet hit it. In a foam target it punched out 3 perfect 1/2" circles of foam for the entire length of penetration they looked like ear plugs so massive bleeding and tissue dammage is in order. I believe the name was Hazard broadhead or biohazard broadhead as they look just like the bio hazard symbal for hazmat. Has anyone else seen or heard of these?

Here's a link to the thread where they "introduce it" (for lack of a better word). Nasty looking head, and haven't seen much on it but figure that's due to it being so new.

alot of blade surface to push through an animal so gonna need som ke for them,,
also if i remember they have less than 1" cutting diameter so illegal in alot of states.

Diameter is much too small for me. Punching a hole in a boneless milk jug doesn't impress me. Shot placement will typically determine blood loss and that small diameter is not so forgiving. This isn't really a new design it is a similar design to older heads such as the browning serpentine. It may perform well but it will not be superior to many of the heads on the market currently. It is destined to encounter a greater challenge to its structural integrity then most by virtue of its design, IMO. I wish you guys luck with it though and hope it produces the advertised results!

On the list of design criteria it looks to me like #1 was to make a cool looking head that will appeal to hunters.
Someone on here said he got a pack a day or two ago and that they chewed apart his rhinehart block target and penetration was less than montecs.
Wow I should of done a search first. From reading all concerns about design of this new BH they should post up some very graphic CSI type R&D videos to answer all the questions/challenges posted about this style of BH. If its that great of a design they MUST of shot alot of game animals so where are the up close and personal pics and analisis of this product? We need to see actual pics/proof of the wound channels, all details of bow used, and what perameters dictated success and which details dictated failure, even the best BH's have failures at times dont they? How durable is the blade/blades, is there a practice head available?
Isn't legal in Wyoming because it is only a 7/8" cutting diameter. Looks like a refined idea of the razorring broadhead.
Blades don't look like they can be resharpened or even replaced (guessing)
Illegal due to size and design in many states
They look expensive (manufacturing process)
Design would seem to limit penetration
I don't think I will be spending any money on these heads. From what I have heard, the jury seems to be leaning towards...fail.
