Anybody shooting them? I purchased two packs and out of the six three of them are damaged after the first shot. The tip of one came off and tips on two more are about to come off. Very disappointed for $40 worth of heads. I emailed them yesterday to let them know. Interested to see their response. Just wondering if anyone else is shooting them and how they held up for you.
 
I'm not a fan of them just because they are a one and done head because you cannot resharpen it, or replace the "blades" after the shot. If you try to resharpen it, unless you're really good or lucky (which I am neither) the head will become off-balance and that was directly from the owner of toxic as I emailed him when they were released. Granted I've never used them, but a friend of mine that works for Mossy Oak in Alabama got to do a trial with them before they went to market and he wasn't impressed with them either. Blood trail wasn't that great for the placement he had and he said he could hear it "whistle".

I am referring in specific to the practice head. I shot a doe last year with a toxic and was impressed. I will admit I am a newbie though. Just trying to learn. When I find a broad head that everyone has great success and nothing bad to say I will use them. Until then I will use trial and error I guess lol.
 
I too prefer fixed blades, but I like a Broadhead that I can reuse and resharpen. I would take a serious look at heads like the G5 Striker or Slick Tricks--both are well field proven and have great flight charactistics.
 
This year I switched to the Dirtnapgear DRT broadheads.I've been into archery off and on for 35 years and I feel this is the best broadhead I have ever used.cant wait to try it out on a whitetail.they have a lifetime guarantee also.
