Anyone have any experience with Radical Core Decompression broad heads? They look and sound intriguing. Then again so many advertisements do. LOL

Two words for ya......Slick Trick

The design "looks" like it would fly, but I don't think it will pull me away from the Slick Trick line.

I could see one of those covered blades hooking a rib or a shoulder blade and pulling off of course pretty easy.

My simple answer NO.

Real answer yes but not that brand and exact design. A guy from either Mass or RI designed one very similar back sometime around 1985ish. I tested it on a few different materials for penatration and it was a no go. From my experiance just to much resistance. Think of it like creating a plug is the best way I can explain it.

I'm not a fan of them. They look wild (which is neat I guess) but I can't imagine they get any penetration.

I would imagine terrible penetration base upon its design

Reminds me of the serpentine broad head.

I saw some of those at a local shop the other day.......intersting, but it looks like there is extra blade area to get the same wound channel. I doubt they would penetrate like a similar 4 blade - I kind of put them in the gimick catagory, sure they would work with a high power setup but won't be on the business end of my traditional setups.
