I wouldn't buy any product that hat a WacEm name....sounds too much like crap they sell on the Sportsman's Channel shows. You can probably smoke a lot of deer with them though.

I don't but just looked them up. They look pretty good and at a fairly reasonable price. We shouldn't knock an item simply based on the name before knowing anything about them.

They have been around a while and get good reviews. They do have a cheesy name, but I would shoot the hell out of them before I bought a broadhead called "Dirt Nap"

Well Peco, I shot the Dirt Nap last year, Dead Right There, and out of a 46 lb recurve, on whitetail does, at a distance of 9 to 27 yards, the blew right thru, plus they sharpen up real well....... so much for a name

Wac'em are actually a very good head in their 3 blade so i would say the 2 blades should be pretty good as well. The comment about the name being in some way weird or offending is flat out BS. Look at some of the names of broadheads from the 60's. Some really stupid stuff back then. Spiral Killer, Copperhead Ripper just to name a few!! Battlestar by Martin(plastic by the way) Ben Pearson switchblades and tons more. Like I said lots of crazy names on broadheads over the years! Shawn

A close friend and best hunter on earth, as far as I'm concerned, hunts with WacEM broadheads. He never scrimps on quality and WacEM are his broadhead of choice. He took this buck with them in Idaho last year. They're very good!

It 's broad heads we are talking about and as long as they have a reasonable design and made to a reasonable standard they are probably OK.Since when have razor heads been junk.?I only now use trade points which I make my self .I make them hard and then temper them .They file and sharpen very similar to razor heads .They are more than sufficient heads.I chose a hardness as close to a razor head as I could get.I get 50 to 55 ish Rockwell.Could be maybe a bit harder than razor heads but still field sharpen with a light touch up with a file like razor heads do.

"We shouldn't knock an item simply based on the name before knowing anything about them."
There are plenty of names I wouldn't have on my gear. And if a company is stupid enough not to understand that, what else are they stupid about. (stay tuned)
And the secondary point is, that in general, there is so much available gear that an easy way of cutting down the ranks is if they name it something stupid. Remember that period when they had all those ads for bows being held by aliens, or associated with the Rambo stuff. In practical terms there is only one head I would miss, the Grizzly, and maybe that single bevel 3 blade if I wanted a 3 blade. Everything else is already superfluous. So at this point I would say the name prejudice approach is working pretty well. I'm OK with Grizzly and maybe red feather, though I don't know what that means, if anything.
Whack 'em I associate with Nugent, So if you like Nugent they are coasting, and if you don't...
They sell replaceable blades for their fixed blade broadheads. Alrighty then...

Don't recall ol' Roger Rothhaar dancing around saying "I smoked that one"....or "I whacked that one"....or some other stupid, sophomoric comment, while pretending to represent the sport of bowhunting on television. I personally find that activity disrespectful to the sport in general. If you find it okay, then buy them. I won't question your reason for buying them, and you don't question mine for not. Seems fair to me. They may be great heads, but we already have a lot of time-proven great heads.

I like Ted Nugent. I do not, or have not shot WacEm broadheads, but they have been around for over a decade. They are not some new fly by night gimmick head. I don't care for the name, but if I shot replaceable blade heads, I would look seriously at the 2 blade 150gr. A 4 pack is $40 sticker price. For now, I don't see myself changing from VPA anytime soon.

It's just a broadhead, a tough, great flying broadhead. That's it. I shoot for and represent DRT Broadheads. I like shooting them, so far have had no issues with them. I shoot them cause they've proved themselves to me, not cause of the name.

Relax George. I never questioned your reason for buying what broadheads you buy. I really don't care what you buy. I was just making a point about the names of some of the heads. Simply stating that some people may find that the name Snuffer as offensive as some of the other ones . But if the owner of the whacem head is on tv dancing around like the idiots do then yes that is offensive. If not his heads name is no more offensive than Snuffer IMO. If I made a head Id call it creme puff so as not to offend anyone. Hahahaha.

With all due respect George, what comments on here, and from whom, do you deem to be sophomoric? And the OP didn't ask why you would or would not buy them. As tradmt said, some on here take themselves WAY too seriously. Might be due to advancing age. I think Dirt Nap is a great name for a broadhead.

I have not used them but they look like a good option if you want to go the replacement blade route. I may have to rethink bowhunting now. Eskimo is offensive to some inuit people, and no mercy just sounds cruel, so zwickey is out. Ace, well sounds like it may promote gambling. Grizzly villifies bears,.they prefer the name brown bears now. I may have to wait until someone comes out with a "safe place"

Scooby, the disrespect is that it promotes the cavalier attitude with killing animals. The shows started the disrespect each and every time they shoot an animal. Gave em a dirt nap, smoked em, etc... It teaches the new hunters, kids especially a lack of respect for the animals they hunt. That's my opinion, and I believe this to be true, and it also I believe it damages hunters reputations to the non hunting public as blood thirsty killers. Don't take my word, look to the north, isn't there a bill in Canada to ban trophy hunting? are the supporters of this bill using the video of guys going nuts be caused they smoked a trophy deer? As I said , I will not support any company that I think shows disrespect to the animals just to get some to buy their cool named bh. You are certainly free to do so, I never said that you shouldn't buy it.

"What's in a name. A Rose..." Look at a Wenzel Woodsmen. Now, that's offensive. LOL.
Really, lets talk about the broadhead. I looked it up on google. It's too short to be a good broadhead. Anything with a longer blade will out penetrate it. Plus the real problem is screw in. If you buy a screw in you bought one weight BH. If you buy glue ins you can change adaptors and do some real fine tuning you can't do with a screw in.

I was recently leafing through an archery trade magazine when I came upon an ad for a head called a bloodsport grave digger, complete with dripping blood. If I found this to be repulsive, I wondered how a non hunter might view it and by extension,..bowhunting. What a stupid offensive name!.. that's my opinion and it's just as good as yours' ..buddy :-( sandy
