Annihilator Broadhead Review 

I live at the bottom of the mountain from you near Tyrone pa.. closer to port Matilda. I shot a big doe last yr with one of these heads and it looked like a sharp golf ball went through it. She walked about 20 yards a fell over. My dads jaw hit the ground. I was so blessed to have been able to be with my dad in the woods and was lucky enough to kill a deer. It all happened so fast and my arrow drove into the ground 10 inches, my dad thought I missed until she fell over right in front of us. Made me a hug believer. I shot them beside my bishop scientific method heads and they penetrated alittle deeper and flew just as good maybe better. I bought a new pack of 125s for this year and cant wait to start hunting Saturday. Good luck this year and I really enjoy your videos too

Me too. Still don't know if I'll do more broadhead reviews, though. Will have to see how this video does, as it was a good bit of work. Plus, my ballistic gel was a flop. Needs to be more dense.

How do u sharpen them cause I cant get them razor sharp on my stones?

@@philipnatale8982 stone from coarse to fine. Then you can use a ceramic rod then leather strope. You can also use a ultra fine sand paper, like 1k to make a polish.

@@calibowhunter1998 I'm doing 400 800 1000 3000 8000 on a wet stone I would think I could shave with them by now but not able to do you get yours that sharp also like the leather strop idea?

@@philipnatale8982 I actually haven't tested the hair cutting i just make sure they are sharp and will bit into my nail without any force. Sharp enough for me to kill things with

Try the 344 from stay sharp. It puts a 44* edge instead of 60*. It’ll get much sharper and still have a durable edge.

This was a tricky one. I'm really not 100% confident about how to do a broadhead review. I've been hesitant to do them. But I thought this one looked interesting.

Took both my bucks this year with them along with 4 pigs 1 turkey and a ram all since January. They are devastating and leave a serious wound channel in the animal. I even had a alittlw far back ahot on my last deer this year and with the way the head is designed it caused alot of issues with the deer, before i could make a follow up shot. Had I been shooting a different fixed blade I truly believe I wouldnt have been able to get a follow up shot

That is a Rinehard RhinoBlock XL. There is an insert that I normally use for broadheads as it can be replaced. It was shot out during the video, so I was using other spots. There are two different sides with deer vitals showing. Two sides (narrower) with just spots, and two sides where you can shoot the insert. It's a great target, but some fixed heads really chew it up fast. The Annihilators aren't so bad to it, though.

@@ArcheryTalkVideo Thanks!!!

North of Seven Those come stock with the arrows. Nothing special there.

Sadly, I never had a deer within range this year. Tag soup for me.

Unless I'm shooting a piece of rebar with a broadhad welded on it, I'm not sure I can find a more durable arrow than the Gold Tip Kinetic Kaos. That thing is a tank and holds up great...so long as you don't shoot it at concrete blocks.

ArcheryTalk oh absolutely you can. Grizzlystik being one of them.

Those are 100-grain heads. Outsert is the one that comes with the Gold Tip AirStrike.

Sadly, I did not have an opportunity to shoot a deer this year. Tag soup for me.

Look closer

Just checking in on ya to see if you got your eyes checked yet

I believe just 100 and 125 for now.

@@ArcheryTalkVideo they make a 125 and 150 grain XL version. It its slightly bigger.

I have grouped these out 100 with my field points. The drop was a batch that was faulty and all the broadheads have been returned. I will shoot and film the broadhead flight next to FP sometime this week

Cali Bowhunter I very much look forward to that thank you!!

I might be able to do a live video from my club shooting at 60 yards with field points and Broadheads. But my inconsistency at that distance might be a problem.

ArcheryTalk Hi there, I just think those are the 2 big question marks we heard all the buzz about. There was a RU-vid video that confirmed some of the rumours and the Annihilator heads took a nose dive in the video when shot at further distances then the video was “corrected” a short time later and another video was done showing different results. I think you doing a video on this could be great as it would help the broadhead if they are as advertised and help the industry if it’s all marketing. You wouldn’t need to be super accurate, just show that it was relatively close. I know myself as a customer is not buying one until those rumours are put to rest. The hype around those broad heads was crazy and I hope they are as good as they say. I want to shoot one, if they are that good. I do love your channel Archery talk and love the content.

I just uploaded a video on my page of the annihilator grouping my with fp at 70. I'll try to get alittle further later this week, there were to many people at the range to go further back

I'd like to try the 1.5.. these annihilator heads are pretty awesome too

I have 3 anialators and 3 sever 1.5 in my quiver this year and I'm accurately shooting 80 yards with both heads

About the most contradicting thing I've ever read

@@thatonesatelliteguy how is that contradictory? They flight straight and are durable but didn’t open the channel for good blood after 3 attempts.

My initial plan was to find a cow hip/femur. I tried calling butchers, processors and even slaughter houses to buy one. They all told me to kick rocks. But a rib rack (maybe in front of a pork roast) would could work. If I do another broadhead test, I'll give it a try. Still on the fence about doing more.

I can assure you that this little RU-vid channel has no influence on what happens on the forum. But I respect your right to protest as you see fit.

I am accepting donations.

@@ArcheryTalkVideo you’re the content creator why would I buy you a mic so you’re video audio can be improved?

@@cottojn Because you are the one bothered by the audio.

@@ArcheryTalkVideo I’m not bothered I’m just suggesting a way to improve your video. You’re so into the way you feel about the comment that you don’t realize that it would help your viewers clearly hear what you’re say. A mic with a dead cat on it would help tremendously but do you boo-boo.
