They probably haven't seen too much action yet since they were released only about 3 months ago.

Do you mean offset like the Badger broadhead or just single bevel? I didn't see it on their web page.

You can't see the offset blades with that picture, but the blades go from past center on the tip to past center on the other side on the back side.

I think I will stick to the rotational advantage of the single bevel and leave the offset to others.

How sharp out of the box?  Im wondering if the blade angles would make them difficult to sharpen?

Any word on theory or literature?

The overall length is 3.1", blade length is 2-5/16". Blade thickness is .055". The offset is streight so they sharpen easy. Since they are single bevel and offset, they really twist going into something.

You can get 315 grain points from ABS and iv seen 10 grain waight washers not to mention loseing some waight when sharpening
the broad head is the cheep bit when u look at the cost of every thing else u need for the hunt

The guy's that won't spend $50.00 on a 3 pack of this quality probabably aren't going to spend 5 to $10,000 going to Africa either. Which these are designed for large dangerous game.  :knothead:

You can make custom,heavyweight field points by using a 190 glue-on point,steel adapter and a little lead shot up in the ferrule.If you need heavier,add a 75 gr Woody Weight.Tuffhead also has 225 and 300 gr,glue-on field points.

I've yet to have someone explain the benefit of this offset blade thing to me. Can anyone explain the rational? Is it the same as the rotational motion in a single bevel? Any testing to back it up?
