D6 big nasty?

Just saw these heads on 3rivers. Anybody had a chance to use them. Interesting idea.

I can't use them. Two drawbacks for me.

First, they only come in 100 grain weight.

Second, I would have to add 1" to the length of my arrow. Since I shoot a 32" arrow, I would have to have a 33" arrow to make them work and some of the aluminum arrows I shoot, only come in a 32 1/2" length shaft (2212).

They look just like the blades for a Razorcap. If they are the same steel and you can shoot them I bet they are very lethal.

I don't like the fact that there is almost no metal in the blades.  To me that is a weak point that doesn't have to be.  A couple bouts of sharpening and there won't be a whole lot left.

I believe they are Razorcaps under a new name.  Why change a good thing.  IMO Razorcaps are an under rated b/h.
