FACTS/MTYHBUSTERS

The Smoke Broadhead was designed for larger game like white tail deer, hogs, elk, mule deer, bear, etc. Due to the extensive testing we have done, you will see below that I have specifically designed a tip for small game with thinner hides, feathers, lighter body masses, or rigid surfaces (including targets). This is currently in production and is anticipated to be available on our website soon.
With the Smoke, I set my testing standards to parallel the industry standards. The target needs hide to be on a pliable backing like the industry standard ballistic gelatin. This most closely resembles a live target in a hunting situation because of the resistance and give of the target. This allows the Smoke Broadhead to create front end load for deployment as it is pushing through the hide into the pliable ballistic gelatin and/or body mass before it deploys and enters the target. After it is deployed and enters the target, the Smoke frontal tip creates a hydrofoil which minimizes friction down the arrow shaft and allows for extreme penetration.
The reason the Smoke Broadhead will not go off in cardboard/foam types of targets is because the surface area of cardboard/foam is not hydrated and does not flex. It has a rigid surface area which disallows the puckering/pliancy of the target which is needed for the Smoke Broadhead to deploy and lock open. A rigid surface will disallow the give in the target that allows the blades to lock open. The blades will open; however, they will not reach the locking position; and therefore, will close before they have a chance to lock (especially with today’s high speed compound and cross bows). The slight amount of pliancy in the animal’s hide enables the blades to deploy and lock open.
For smaller game such as fox, turkeys, etc., I have produced the Smoke Tommy Knocker turkey tip. This is a wider and flatter tip that screws on to the end of the Smoke. This tip also will enable the Smoke Broadhead to open in foam/rigid targets.
Also in production and anticipated to be available soon is a 25 grain bushing that can be screwed behind the tip of the Smoke Broadhead. If you want to practice, simply remove the blades which weigh 25 grains and attach the bushing. When you are ready to go hunting, remove the bushing and insert the blades. This bushing also accommodates archers who prefer a 125 grain broadhead.
Larger game with heavier hide require the Smoke triangular cutting tip. You will see the difference between the Smoke and the Tommy Knocker turkeytip and the effectiveness that each has on larger and smaller game, respectively.

Sculpted chisel tip and solid
construction to maximize kinetic energy
and penetration.
Flies like a field point with nothing
protruding outside the diameter to
cause windplaning.
Opens in .050 of one inch on impact,
thus creating an entry wound.
Blades open and lock in fully deployed
position by using .030 stainless steel
springs.
Revolutionary deployment maximizes
penetration unlike front to back scissor
type heads.
No passthrough.....NO PROBLEM!
Blades are sharpened on front and rear
to cut as the arrow exits the target,
creating a “backcut”
Blades are easily reloaded.
The 3 blades weigh 25 grains; simply
remove blades and install 25 grain
bushing behind head to enable you to
target practice all year long.
When you are ready to go hunting, simply remove the bushing and re-insert the blades. (The bushing is currently in production and will be available soon.)
Cut diameter is 1 1/8" but entry wound is normally
larger due to hide pliancy.
Turkey hunters: remove cutting tip and
replace with Tommy Knocker turkey tip.
Blade thickness is .032" and is extremely strong.
3 Pack with 25 grain bushing and wrench

That is an extremely innovative design. I really like the stream lined look before the blades come out and the simplicity of movement of the blades when contact is made. The lack of movement has to be very dependable. Good review Smoke. I will definitely give these a try for Turkey next Spring. That bushing that replaces the blades will really make it great for practice.
allright

Those really look well built and reliable. I have never shot a mechanical to hunt with and have been hesitant to try it. I think I'll give these a try this fall. allright

That is quite innovative how the the blades depoly . The article says they won't deploy in regular targets . that's a real plus ! allright

Can hardly wait for the review ......

Now that is one good looking mechanical broadhead. The technological advances that are being made in the archery worl are absolutely amazing and this one is definitely right up there at the top of it's class. I think you are right Ruger Ryan. They will rival the Rage 2 Blades for sure.
