Simmons, Centaurs legal?
« on: July 01, 2013, 07:35:00 PM »
Colorado regs state "Each cutting edge must be in the same plane for entire length of cutting surface" Does the shape of these broadheads make them illegal here?  I plan on calling game and fish but thought maybe someone here has already gotten the answer.

I am gonna guess that the plane that they are talking about is another story ( look up Browning serpentine).

The blade is on the same plane, it's just not a straight line along that plane.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

The points on an arc are coplanar by definition. If not, then it is a helix, in which the points do not lie in a common plane.

Yes they are in plane, a flat plane can project through the entire cutting surface. Colorado regs refer to broadheads like the crimson talon which has blades that has the tips curled over to the side.

Well so far I have talked to two different people in the division...one said legal one said not legal.   :dunno:   . They told me the best thing to do would be to contact the officer in the area I will be hunting in since he would be the one issuing the citation to see his thoughts on it. Kind of makes a guy wonder.

Leave it to the Californian and to stir the pot. :-)
Beachy...I'm going to hunt with your ole buddy Joe this fall. I need some tips from you so I can change my luck on the elk. I'm sure hunting with Joe was the biggest key so I got that covered.  :)  
I'm still waiting for you to come out to the Midwest and do some little deer hunting.

In over 50 years of hunting and fishing in CO I have been checked four times and none of it was too se if I was using the right equipment.
