These are the only laws I can find on the MDC web site. Some use stone

some use junk mechanical heads! These look like an old school two blade to me, looks good to me. I'd use them, and probably will.

•A longbow, compound bow or recurve bow of any draw weight; handheld string releasing devices, illuminated sights, scopes and quick point sights are allowed

Can't find a min arrow weight, draw weight, broadhead requirements nothin more? just what I put above.

They look like perfectly fine old school heads. They will perform as well as all the other Zwickey heads. But as stated, they cannot currently be used for big game in some states, Wisconsin included.

A shame.

I will buy a pack anyway just to have an example for my small collection.

Might anybody be intersted in one or two for a collection if I do this? Share the cost a little bit ?

I'll take 1 or 2 or half a pack if it's not a 3-pack. Be glad to split the cost and shipping.

1longbow, the rage and other mechanical heads are legal as long as the blades fold back when the shaft is withdrawn. IE closed or less than 90* from the shaft. if they lock in the open position they are then barbed and illegal in NY.

Harpooning? No No, see what happens here, and use that above pic as reference, You put an arrow into a deer, the head is sticking out the other side, as the deer runs through cover the barb snags on brush and pulls it free. If it is a fatal hit, you have a greater potential for more blood on the ground, if it is a non fatal hit the arrow is just pulled free and the wound heals up.
Howard Hill stated he never saw one come out the way it went in, I would believe that.

Oh, that looks great. I badly need one for my collection.

If I shoot 2 blades I go with zwickey and this looks like another winner, however I don't really care for 2 blades as for most game on this continent I don't need the extra penetration.

Dave Lay · « **Reply #31 on:** November 01, 2011, 08:00:00 PM »

if ya like the head but concerned about the "barb" simply grind it off, ya really wont lose enough width or weight to speak of..

Terry Green · « **Reply #32 on:** November 01, 2011, 08:08:00 PM »

I really like the No Mercy 4 blades....great head. Charlie Lamb and I were talking years ago if Zwickey took the width of the Eskimo and the length of the Delta and made a 4 blade ....it would be a GREAT all around head...and dang if they didn't come out with it without any input from us.

This head is unique to say the least.....I'll buy some cause I'm a long time Zwickey fan.

jsweka · « **Reply #33 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:19:00 PM »

Nice looking head, but it would be illegal in PA either. Given the "no barb" regulations a lot of states have, it makes me somewhat wonder why Zwickey would market it since many of their potential buyers wouldn't purchase it due to their states' regs.

ChuckC · « **Reply #34 on:** November 01, 2011, 09:27:00 PM »

I believe, based upon info just gotten, that they may be a bit pricey too. Hmmm

Nice pictures Ryan! We might have to put you to work!

Terry I have never shot a 4 blade zwickey because I was concerned about the way the bleeder blades are formed. Do they tend to bend easily?

I have never had a problem with them. But, like all steel the proper amount of force will bend it.

I tried the Eskimos with bleeders years ago and found the bleeders just make them harder to sharpen.
