This looks odd. Too many moving parts for me.

Aside from the moving parts...in Indiana I think you must have at least 1" cutting surface exsposed on mechanical broadheads. This is to protect against them not opening.

Interesting concept, I agree there are a lot more moving parts, but if the quality is good I could see it working very well. The only issue I could see with it is the entrance wound would be smal and not produce a lot of blood.

5shot, you ever tested these?

Not sure that I would ever use one. Agreed with too many moving parts.
