Question for Oregon Hunters

[Guff]

Can you tell me if QAD Exodus broadheads are legal in Oregon? I can't find the answer on Oregon Fish and Game website but saw a post on Rokslide from a couple of years ago that said they weren't. Thanks for any help.

If they have any expandable blades they are not legel

At least 7/8" wide and fixed. It looks like they are legal. Oregon must have changed broadhead regulations at some point. It used to be the blade could not sweep back. I don't see that anywhere in regulations now.

QAD Exodus full blades are legal, Swept are not. See page 90 of the 2018 regs. I have copied the text, didn't have time to copy image.

“Unbarbed Broadhead” means a fixed
position arrowhead
where the rear edge of the
blade(s) forms an angle with the arrow shaft to
which it is attached of 90° or greater. Both of
the dashed lines (Figure 1) designate an
unbarbed broadhead. Blades with rear edges
that form an angle of less than 90 degrees in
the direction of the arrow tip (Figure 2, for
example) are not legal.

Here's the link, page 90

So the def of unbarbed per odfw regs.
Fixed position arrowhead where the rear edge of the blades form an angle with the arrow shaft to which it is attached of 90 deg or greater. Blades with rear edges that form an angle of les the 90 degrees in direction of arrow tip are not legal.

So no cant tell ya.
They technically make a 90 and it doesn't say the 90 has to go all the way to the shaft.
But to me they can also be described as barbed.
PM me if u want the number of a fish and game officer that I'm sure would be willing to look up that head and tell u his interpretation.

Given the illustration shown, it seems pretty obvious the swept blade would be considered "barbed". If you trace a swept blade rear edge back to the arrow shaft it definitely forms an angle less than 90 degrees.

Thanks for the link. I think I have to agree; I interpret the swept blades to be illegal. Of course that is what I had planned on using lol

Looks like you can get the Exodus in a non barbed model from Amazon.
