Thanks for the input arrowds. I appreciate your time. I'm still not confident in the arrow backing out on a non pass thru shot. Thats the main reason I stay away from many fixed blades and some mechanicals such as the rage. My thinking is they would anchor in the wound channel for a longer period of time than a folding back blade mechanical. I shoot spitfires currently and have seen on occasion, non pass thru's work their way out and fall to the ground with in the 1st few bounds of the deer. The blades would be in the closed position on the ground, indicating they folded close and the arrow slid out. I had good blood and the recovery was around 100 yards are less on all occasions. Examination of the carcasses showed blades were open as they entered, passed thru the 1st shoulder and into the ribs on the opposite side of the rib cage. I am color blind, so the more blood on the ground the better for me and I believe an open entry wound will allow more blood to exit.
I do believe the atom's design will allow higher percentages of pass thru's. Continue thinking outside of the box. I am looking forward to seeing your new products in the future. Thanks again.
