Widespread Acceptance is a tough call but I would say that the Wasp heads would fit that description. I also know that by the amount of them still around today that many were made. So they were either making way too many or lots of people were buyng them.

However the first ones I ever used were the Savora's. Up until then I was a Bear Razorhead user

Hey Shep....you can come out of the head. Greg got this one correct

Question #3 Answer:

a. Wasp. Introduced in 1968, the Wasp broadhead was the first of the "modern" razor insert style broadheads.

Seems I remember horror stories from friends who had those inserts fall off at the worst time...at least until they learned how to use em.
