dogdoc Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Wondering if anyone has shot the new Toxic Broadheads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I know those are some of the ugliest heads I've ever seen lol. Going to wait for somebody else to buy them and give me the scoop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 1st time I've ever heard of them Todd so googled them up. Like John said...odd looking. Reminds me of the concept from years ago of putting plastic rings on 3 blade broadheads to make them fly like field points. The questions I'd have with the design are: 1) Is there going to be a lot more resistance reducing penetration? 2) How are they going to perform breaking through bone? 3) How the heck do you sharpen those heads? Don't know anyone that's tried them though. BTW...glad to see you back Todd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Well two things in all seriousness, there no way that you're not going lose a heck of a lot of energy trying to make circular cuts a opposed to linear ones. Yes they may look great on the milk jug draining tests I saw on YouTube but I don't hunt milk jugs. Secondly there's no way anyone can convince me that a marketing guy just didn't hand a manufacturing guy a pic of the biohazard symbol and say "if you make these I can sell them" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WStreblo Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Toxic Broadheads? Petersen's Bow Hunting did a rest with a bunch of fixed broad heads in their last issue. If I had it with me I could give you the results of the Toxic broad head. Might want to check it out and see how they stacked up. I can remember seeing they didn't fair to well on the strength part of the tests... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytshooter09 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I will be waiting till after this deer season before I think about buying them there have been a lot of curved blade designs that haven't made it past two or three seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthGaHuntingandOutdoors Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'm honestly thinking about giving them a shot this year. Still thinking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 blades aren't horribly strong... decent blood trails... no practice heads yet. can't sharpen the blades due to design. that's all I got that's second hand info from some at a shop I go to. I don't have any experience other than holding them in my hand and checking them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireStation46 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I have been shooting Magnus for years. Never had to track a deer. They either drop in their tracks or go a few yards. I am not tempted to switch. Good luck with your experiment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
