New(er) broadhead: Kudupoint

[Ryan]

A friend recently showed me this and I figured some might be interested around here. I'm not pitching them in anyway since my quiver is full of a couple other well proven broadheads but they look like a pretty tough 2-blade single bevel broadhead. Reasonably priced to boot.

Neat, thanks for posting. Do you think it's shape creates something unique?

 

[Ryan]

The blade shapes aren't new. The contour ones are similar to Simmons Shark broadheads and the others remind me of a 3-bladed glue on head I tried using back in the 80's that I'm sure had been around a while. The big difference is these are single bevel. As for any advantage, they think so or they wouldn't make them that way, but I can't say one way or another. I'll let others debate that.

The debate I found elsewhere was comparing this to a Helix broadhead. The story goes that the single bevel induces spin. I don't know enough to say one way or the other on that. But, my initial concern is with the sharpened edge on the back edge and my finger lol

I prefer a ferrule that tapers into the the blade on the front more than this. Heads sharpened on the back edge cut when working back out of the wound channel.

I will let everyone know what I think. I have a set that I have been planning on using this year. I'll take some photos of entrance and exit holes plus blood trails. They will be used on whitetail this season

The 'classic' in the picture above sure does resemble the Helix broadhead. I have shot the Helix for a few years, including two trips to Africa. Great broadhead. My PH was very impressed with how well it performed. I would expect the kudupoint would work well also.

yep, Helix are awesome broadheads
