Is the Beast Broadhead Worth the Hype? 

As an engineer and someone who understands physics pretty good, how can the blades deploy that fast (faster than the speed of sound) and not have a cracking noise opening?

I have been bow hunting for 50 yrs and NAP are Hard to Beat! I know everyone has their favorite heads and there are lots! NAP Thunder heads are about as Good as they get for Fixed blade! I have used every Head sold an Now Graduated to the NAP Double Cross 4 blade expandable! I now use a Excalibur 405 fps Crossbow and the fly like bullets throu paper toasting and have 2” wide wound channels in Deer and Bear in the UP of Michigan!

I'm not a mechanical fan, but Bowmar killed two Cape Buffalo in one day with this head. One was taken @ 100 yards with a compound bow. It did not go far after the shot.

Bowmar stole their design from VIP Broadheads. They’re under patent infringement litigation right now. Support VIP, they’re the OG and far superior to the Knockoff Beast Broadhead.

Love to see this on the sevr with bleeders.

Ill stick to my slick tricks 😂these dont seem they worth 60 buck just for 2

I shot my first beast broadhead at a deer and I don’t think I’ll be using them again. I had the first one I used hault on opening and do next to no damage. After looking at the arrow I realized why. The blades rely on a spring and they sit in a channel that if the blade bends causes them to bind. It was cold and raining and I saw the blade was gummed by fat and hide. Most mechanicals rely on the energy from the bow to the arrow to open. These rely on a spring that is a fail point. So just keep that in mind that maybe even if they are dirty or you tweak a blade or your clip a bone there is a chance they will not open as they should because they have a fixed amount of energy by design to open unlike say the reapers and rages I’ve shot where as the arrow passes it will continue to push the blades open.

I am in Canada. Bowmar wants $64 american to ship to canada. Absolutely ridiculous. I can get crimson talon shipped for $15. No way im paying $124 for 2 mechanical broadheads.

Anything Bowmar, no thanks…

Hey boss! This is a great video! Would you do a similar video on the KUDU broadheads? Talk about durability, those things are tough!

It's quite interesting to see everyone debunking the bomars videos in regards to their videos of the broadheads.

Like the idea but I’m not pay that price ! I’ll stick with my afflictor K2 hybrids. Would love to see you test those out as well ! As always great work ! Love the videos !

100% these are the real deal. I got a pass thru and a big hole

I would rather use a rage trypan and i don't like mechanicals .

Which broadhead was the sharpest that you have tested?

Don't believe for a second that heads tough enough for cape buffalo! I'd never buy them anyway because I don't shoot mechanical heads.

Great review. Ozcut Kreature would be a great review!

What band do you have on your Garmin? My rubber ones keep ripping.

My brother got a pack of these and they really are garbage! The blades kept sliding back and the other had one that wouldn't deploy a blade and if that wasn't enough the blades had chunks missing from a block crossbow target. Not worth $70..

Awesome review and spot on!!! AND... I would stay clear of anything Bowmar unless you are one of their fanboys. Bowmar fanboys deserve everything they gobble down from them phonies!!! lol, SMH...

Do you have a spreadsheet available of the information on all the broadheads you have tested?

Great reveiw! Figured they werent worth the hype but nice to see some facts and real results. Yes it will kill animals but the price and claims are just not correct. Seems to be a theme in the archery industry anymore, these would pair great with UV 1k arrows! 😂

Helping pay off that poaching fine

Interesting… I’ve been seeing these a lot lately. Good information. Great video

Where in IL you at? Im outside Chicago, just started to get into hunting.

Can you test out the trifecta single bevel fixed broadhead?

Sevr 1.75. vs bomars beast.sevr all day. And sevr is cheaper

Great review as always. Thanks for the content really appreciate the attention to detail and real world test. Honestly like your reviews better then lusk reviews even with the giant product cost gap.

Over priced junk !

Cool test pressing through leather. Keep in mind you’re measuring POUNDS of force, not FOOT POUNDS of energy. Not the same thing

Only part I would recommend is turn on the light on your scale when you do sharpness test

Wtf for 60$ for two heads crazy

I feel like it would be a badass mechanical if they got rid of the stupid collapsing crap

Yes man liked and subscribed. English bow builder here hijacking your comments to find me some archers. Ive been making semi long Yew self bow hunting bows, I would be honoured if y'all would come and check them out. I currently have 5 up for sale. Many thanks!

Can not believe people pay huge $’s for any mechanical head. A spring loaded head, really? One shot and it’s done. Get a fixed head and tune your bow and arrow combo to work perfectly together. I wouldn’t use any mechanical because it CAN fail on any given shot. LOGIC dictates using something that never fails.

Any chance of you testing some Crimm and talent heads?

Wonder if they would fly out of a crossbow

I’ve seen his slow mode videos, that things isn’t opening like they’re saying. And I remember him when he was back in Ohio. Not a big fan that’s for sure. I mean only reason people watch that hunting show is his wife. And that’s even hard to watch.

I'm surprised Josh is not all.over the comments here I just started looking up at these heads on RU-vid Shot one my friend had and at 30 yards was hitting 3-4".to the rightfrom field tips and my bows are perfectly tuned so I posted a comment on another channel and I'm guessing the channel owner is joshes friend and must have contacted him and they jumped all over me about my comment smh he can't take criticism

If everyone wants a good review, go check out the Lusk Archery review. For all you Bomar haters, please get a life. 😂😂😂

No way broadheads way overpriced and the guy that makes them is a complete tool.

These broadhead “tests” are a waste of time. All the tests online like actually field tested like they should be tested tell the story not your little machines and graphs.

I had a QAD exodus head work on 4 deer after 2 resharpened then killed another 2 way cheaper blows through shoulders not saying that head is bad but too expensive plus bowmar is a cocky prick

NOPE

mechanical will never be the best broadhead, and no one will change my mind on this. There's always a chance that it will fail and not open, and you're essentially hunting with a field trip. 2 blade single bevels properly sharpened are the best broadheads hands down, if you want it to do its intended job every single time.

👍

Definitely an over priced and over complicated design!

Thank you for the review. But I will Not support A poacher. And the bowmars are porchers. Facts. And they are one and done broadhead. You get 2 broadheads for 60 dollars. I would rather buy broadheads that work like iron will. Facts

Not a fan of Beast broadheads

Well, this just proves testing on anything other than animals is basically useless.

F the Bowmars They’re awful and just want your money

they are not worth the price

No, it is not

no they are not worth it

Everything I have seen around Bowmar is unethical business and hunting practices. No thanks.

This review is as useless as a fixed Broadhead.

Kind of a shitty review. Gel is a joke of a test, that metal isn’t very relatable in hunting. Just my 2 cents
