Bladeless Broadheads?
http://www.bowhunterssuperstore.com/...oducts_id=2454
Would these be worth trying out? The concept certainly decreases surface area. and they just might fly like field points! without the need for a mechanism.
What are your thoughts?

Any body do any testing on these? kind of costly

After reading the review I would have to say pass,
Doesn't sound like you would get a very good blood trail on a iffy hit.

It's pricey, but after taking another look at it, sounds more durable from the description than at first glance, interesting to hear some reports from kills
