The Toxic head is just out of the box of "normal" technology that I have to give them a try-out.
Lots of good heads out there and about as many reasons for picking one.
For each of us it is accuracy first always but penetration/blood trail/head strength etc all can have different priorities to each of us.
While a good blood trail has MORE (IMHO) to do with arrow placement than what head is used, the Toxic appears that it should/may/might/will create a type of wound channel that would be all but impossible to "plug" completely compared to a slice.
NOT saying that a slice cut wont WORK, they obviously do. A simple two blade Zwickey, well sharpened, will drop anything more than adequately and penetration is unbeatable yet perhaps it's just the "I want to see for myself" attitude I have that just wont let me NOT give these a trial run.
I'd face anything on this rock with several heads I have shot but I just want to try these out.
There is ALWAYS room for "just one more head" on my list of such. The old man in me creates a bit of "oh man.....I don't know" thinking about these heads but, I wont Knock em.....till I nock em.
Hunt safe gang!

Looks nasty. Kind of reminds me of the old Browning Serpentine heads from the early '90's. Hopefully those work better, the Brownings didn't do to well from what I recall. This is what they look like.

The Grave Digger will be tested this year. Best of both worlds. COC and the massive wound channel of a mech head

Couple of guys I know used the toxic this year. They said it worked well but all the blood trails were weak. Marginal shots could be a problem ...in their opinions. Others I know have been using Dead Ringer Hunting Rampage with excellent results. I used their Trauma in am xbow with awesome results on deer , turkey & black bear.

Thanks for the info. They seem to get good reviews. My first go with a really large CD expandable, hopefully they'll work fine on whitetails.

I have a pack of SS Simmons heads from 10 years or so ago. They look hell for stout. I'll have to post a pic, as I haven't ever seen them before. See if I can swat a swamp buck here by the house
