Matt,
When will the Radian 100 & 125 broadheads be available?

Waldo,

Sorry I've not responded sooner. I've attached a few photo's of the results from the ongoing "Field Testing" being done with our Radian...both in Namibia and USA. Also, if you note...via a gentleman using a longbow.
I do not have the Radian on the market yet due to one minor tweek I am in the process of getting done based upon what was learned doing this field testing. An out of tolerance issue from the folks producing my parts surfaced. I'm getting this resolved and have taken the opportunity to make a tweek to ensure an even better broadhead.
So...sorry no specific date until I hear from my supplier on how long it will take them to re-tool for this specific improvement.
Bottom line as you can see whether thru thick bone/skin of an alligator shot thru the head with a very low poundage bow, African critters, elk or even from a long bow on a huge 500 plus pound black bear...The Radian has not failed anyone in delivering the lethal goodies.
Thank you for your continued interst in this innovative design which does not claim to deliver performance via marketing hype....it is simply doing it thru solid engineering and as you can see...global field testing.

Is that a Radian? It looks like a Mechanical...

They are in fact...Radians. The photo shows a 125 grain Radian for reference.

I didnt know you made such a head, only the wire head. Looks mean...

I would be glad to test some out when they come available and give full data on performance.

The Radian continues to put them down quick, regardless of what launches the arrow.

I just picked up a pack. They fly like my field points and the blades are holding up great. Great heads.

RamMan

Hey was wondering what you think about the 2 blade design compared to the 3 blades of other manufaturers?

Just a note of detail on the Radian with respect to your question regarding "Three blade vs radian two blade". Good question...
If you note the tip design. I'm a big fan of a four bladed cut. Two of the four sharp cutting flutes on the tip are in line with the main cutting blades....the other two cut 90 out exactly like a four bladed broadhead. The cut on an animal as measured thru a dense vital organ such as the heart or liver shows a cut approximately 1/2 inch from that tip design. So the reality is that while most focus upon the simple glaring fact it has two blades spanning 1.5 inches....the tip was engineered to provide the opposing cut to open up the main cut wider with an opposing cut for enhanced blood loss and blood letting to reach the ground. It is engineered also to slice thru with the efficiency of a cut to the tip traditional style two blade yet is strong via the four flutes supporting the tip similar to how a steel "I" beam gets it's strength. Simply put....it's an engineered hole thru that critter with four distinct cuts in the vital organs which aren't going to close up.

Personally, I like two blade heads better than three blade heads. I don't know the science behind it or if there is even any science to back this up but I feel from the wounds I've created, two blades have less chance of the wound sealing up thus not spilling as much blood. I think of a three-blade wound like the piece of paper you use to paper tune your bow. After the shot, with pressure from the back, you can push that wound back into place potentially sealing it. Lets say it's fat or organs or whatever pushing from inside the animal. It's like pushing a paper towel through a funnel. It will only go so far unless the small end of the funnel gets bigger and because the wound is round, it isn't likely it will tear anymore. With a two-blade cut, the pressure needed to seal the wound would need to be lateral. you would have to pull the skin sideways/together like trying to zip up a duffle bag that was over filled. There is no natural event that I know of that would cause this pressure to occur on the wound. In fact, the exact opposite pressure would be applied when pressure from fat, organs, etc. were being pushed against the wound. This may cause the wound to separate even more or at least be less likely to seal itself from whatever is pushing against it. Like I said, I don't know if any actual science would back me up but it makes sense in my head. You could argue though that a three-blade head has more cutting surface therefore the potential to do more damage while inside the animal. For me, two-blades is more than enough and I want to see blood on everything that animal runs past after it hit it. And again, if anyone has any conflicting views, please chime in. I'm no expert.

Well thanks for that but I think I am going to go with the smoke Ramcats I am sure Matts heads are awesome and I wanted to try them but I can get the Ramcats locally for a little less money really would love to try the radian though
