ened I think those are considered barbed right? which is illegal here in ohio. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

As far as I know they are not considered barbed. barbed broadheads look like the tuffarrowhead.

I just looked it up, doesn't even say anything about barbed head being illegal. My bad

They're sharp on the back edge so that if you don't get a pass through and the animal tries to pull the arrow out or it gets knocked out, it'll cut on the way out.

I really like this head (CX XT4). I have taken 17 hogs with 6 heads. I have a 3 pack that is still un opened. I primarily hog hunt but would have absolutely no issues using these on deer. In fact, these are the heads I will deer hunt with this year.

If thats the case why not serrate the back edge for more damage?

I'm not sure serrations on the backside of a broadhead would do significantly more damage than a sharpened blade. Serrations do a lot of damage on the leading edge of a broadhead because of the speed and force of the arrow traveling through the animal. However, if the arrow does not get a full pass through and is somehow pulled out, the speed and force of the arrow removal is usually so reduced (compared to the entry) as to make serrations on the trailing edge unnecessary. At that point, serrations or blade, a cut is a cut so what would be the advantage?

Just my opinion. But hey, I'm no rocket surgeon so who knows, you may be right.
