Default New Broadhead...anyone seen these?

I saw these on another sight and ordered a pack to try. They came today and they look great for a smaller fixed blade head. Haven't shot them yet but I plan on it soon and I'll see if they're a good as they look.

Good news is I set them up on my Black Hawk Vapors with the Turbo Nocks and they spin tested clean with no alterations...first time that's happened for me.

There from a small Co. in Utah called "Wac'em Archery" The head is called the "Triton"

Negative...I bought a bunch outright when he released the new nylon ones.

I thought that's what they were when I saw them in the mail.

I think it'll be a while. He's signed on a lot of new guys and is probably backed up.

I got my heads today...talk about wow.

I've got so many heads I want to use this year but only 6,000 available antlerless tags for Manistee Co.. Oh what to do?!

All I can say is, these heads are the truest spinning head I have ever seen...and I have seen a lot...and being only 21 years old...I hope to see a lot more. I love the design of this head, it has the nose of the Montec, which I love, with replaceable blades, that are sharp as all get out.

Not to mention the little things. I've noticed that the leading edge of the blade itself is slightly recessed below the trailing edge of the point...just this little detail will increase the blade life like no other head out there. And a majority of the heads wieght is towards the back of the ferule to distribute the weight more like a fieldpoint...this right there will add to the heads predicted accuracy.

I'm sorry...I just have to comment on how true these heads spin...I mean I spun it tip down on a table...and it just kept spinning and didn't stop. Threw on a PreSeason montec and spun it and it just didn't spin as long...I think the truer head will spin longer as less energy is being dissipated...even though both heads appeared to have no wobble what so ever...the wac'em just spun longer. I'm gonna have a fricked up quiver this year...Montec, Wac'em, steelhead, Ultimate steel, and 75 grain ultimate steel for squirell arrows.

I'm hoping to have some accuracy shooting done with these by the end of this weekend...but it might be a little longer before that gets done come to think of it.

1 and 1/32 cut and 100 gr. That's the only one they make as far as I know.

Have we mentioned how true and straight they spin?

I'm sorry, I just can't get over how true they spin...man oh man, I can't wait to get my huntin' arrows built to see how accurate these things are.

Anyone shooting the G5 Line of broadheads?
I heard they have a 85 grainer coming out.
They are made in Memphis Michigan

Trout--

My dad and I just switched to the G5 line. haven't hunted with them yet but know several people who have and they only have good things to say. We are shooting the 125's to get more weight for the elk hunt, but yes, I've heard about the 85 grainers as well. I've talked with the owner/inventor several times, I really like his products, and they come right from MI to boot, can't beat that right?

When I shot the Montec's they hit right where my feild tips did, flew tremendously straight--no planing what so ever. I'm highly accurate with them out to 60 yards.

I got the new cabelas book last night and the some of the new broadheads in there look mean. I shoot a 58lb bow with a overdraw 2016 arrow 23inches long. I have shot alot of deer this way ,but what type of broadhead do you guys think I could use . Now I use the muzzy 100 and it took me over 3 hours to tone in 4 arrows. I do have speed but lack punching power. In my younger days I worked at Bear archery in GR and I keep up with things ,but now new stuff is coming so fast it's hard to keep track
