Thank you for the compliment we really appreciate it.

We hope to have them offered in our Pipeline Brand in an aluminum ferule and stamped stainless steel blade at a lower price-point at some point in the future.

The Helix is a great component based head.

Thank you for your comment about the concave heads. Our American Made Patent Pending Dicing Drill is very different from Strickland's Helix as their heads are stamped stainless and component based heads. Our patent pending design would have to be copied almost exactly to achieve the same spin-rates...and there is a crossover point where with all due respect to Doc Ashby, one of our heroes...Tim Strickland found something better, by luck, experience, wisdom, it doesn't matter how, but in certain situations the concave blade planes and 40 degree bevel outperform 3:1 mechanical advantage logic.

However, you are wrong about the copying. Perhaps someone out there tried to copy their head, but that guy is not us. Our head does not fly, or spin the same.

Our head is about half as long as Tim's head, our tanto tip is different, our head is drastically different, other than it is concave. However, it is trying to tap into bidirectional mechanical advantage that Tim and Shirley Strickland hit a home run with in the Helix. We are not affiliated with them at all but for the money that Helix head beat just about every head out there and most of the others were solid non-component heads. For those that are cheapskates you could just buy the Kudu and say it is the same as the Helix, and even though the Kudu is a great head in it's own right, our testing showed it is nothing like the Helix at all. Maybe pick up a Kudu Point, but if you don't own a Helix, then you are really missing out on something special and we are not even really into component based heads, welded, brazed, disposable blade heads etc. The Helix is a winner.

We feel like if the Helix is a Ford Musting GT and our head is a GT 40 and it better be for the price. Ours is not a component based head and our Patent Pending Dicing Drills footprint, tip, and blade angles are much different than the Helix. Our Drills are only 1.9 inches long and we cut up hundreds of prototypes to try to improve the spinning that the Helix does and after a lot of hard work we finally said, enough is enough because at some point we hit diminishing returns.

Many single bevels do not do what the are supposed to do with edge integrity, and spin rates. They just don't and in so many single bevel designs, it would be better to turn them into double bevels. Somehow the archery industry is still at the pragmatic point where a lot of people out there think a single bevel is great. However, the single bevel craze and even older trad heads just don't spin and edge chatter if you look at them funny. The Helix is not like that at all. It is only made out of stamped stainless, but it spins amazingly well with all of the benefits of a gaping mechanical head cutting diameter and without loosing momentum like a mechanical head. The Helix also has great edge integrity that rivals even some tool steel single bevels with different bevel angles.

That little Helix head "beat the snot" out of some heads weighing much, much more time and time again. Go over to Strickland's and pick up some packs, as they are hard to beat and if you want to try out ours then we feel like we cranked things up a bit, but that is not what the last three years of blood, sweat and tears has been about. It is not about selling our heads it is about no holds barred making the best head we could after running thousands of heads through the ringer.

We don't want to miss represent Tim or Shirley and are not affiliated with them at all other than their customers, but that is the objective truth about their Helix. A couple years ago in everything from Bison bone to ballistic gel, one head seemed to have significantly more bidirectional mechanical advantage than any other head. It was the Helix!

Our head is about half the size of the Helix, and with different blade angles, tip and dimensions...and while we feel we improved bidirectional mechanical advantage they are two very different price-points and two different categories of broadheads. Buy the Helix first and if you fall in love with it and want to try out one of our heads then great.

Try theirs out first though. If you become one with the Helix and it builds your confidence then stick with it and buy lots of Tim and Shirley's Helix. It is a true masterpiece. Our patent pending dicing drill was inspired by it, but is nothing like the Helix in design, material, bidirectional mechanical advantage, footprint and "S" Predictable Chaos laceration channels. Our head is in a whole other class at a whole other price point. We aren't competing against the Helix. We are customers and will be the first to say that while we like our dicing drills more, the Helix is one of the greatest broadheads ever produced.
