The Broadhead Report 

How did your seasons shake out? Share your broadhead experience and archery setup below 🏹✊

This is spectacular production quality and feel. Enjoying the camera angles and lighting. Well done Tim

I got my first whitetail buck in 10 years with a bow this year. Shooting 73lbs at 32in draw, 605 grain Easton axis 5mm arrow with a 125 grain Magnus black hornet ser-razor. This was my first time truly broadhead tuning and it took forever (definitely my inexperience more than anything else), but it was so rewarding to see that arrow fly perfectly and hit right where I was aiming. Was a 15yard shot from a tree stand, deer trotted about 60 yards, he didn’t even seem to realize he was hit until he fell over. I am switching over to a victory RIP arrow for next year, will be closer to 540 gr TAW, still trying to decide which broadheads I want to shoot with them, hoping to get more speed for flatter shooting, though in the thick woods I hunt I likely won’t have a shot past 30 or 35 yards. Thanks for the awesome video!

Reflecting about the good & bad of a season is always good! I enjoyed your conversation today. I agree with MFJJ's comments about broadhead diameter. I don't think you need to throw a small hatchet through a deer to put one down. I also like those who pull back from the high FOC & heavy arrow fan club. Yet, I would take penetration (two holes) over a wide cut any day. I think a person also needs to shoot what is best for their set up. I am 60+ age-wise and pulling back a higher poundage bow when the temperatures drop in Wisconsin has become more difficult for me. I have some shoulder issues, but I don't want to hang up my compound for good yet. I switched to a 60 pound compound a number of years ago. Since making that switch, I have gone to Victory VForce Elite arrows & 100 grain Slick Trick Viper Trick broadheads (4 blades/1 15/16" total cut). For my whitetail set up, I like this broadhead. I find the blades easy to keep sharp. The broadhead flies awesome. I feel like it is cross/hybrid between a cut-on-contact head with replaceable blades. Most of all, I like the angle of the blades over even the ST Standards (2" total cut) or the Magnums (2.25" total cut). I'm sure there are other good options like some of the Magnus broadheads, but I am quite content with the Viper Tricks. The Grim Reaper Fatal Steel does look awesome, but I wouldn't like the blade angle for my set up. If I shot 70 pounds again, I would feel differently. I shot a doe on September 29th through the front shoulders. I had a complete pass through which surprised my friends. I would have seen her drop, but the vegetation was too thick. I didn't track her. I just walked to where I heard her drop about 50 yards from my stand. I shot a nice 11 pointer (one of my target bucks) on November 6th. Once again I had a complete pass through. I had more of an angled down shot, but my arrow placement was good. He took about 5 jumps, stopped, looked back at his side, legs started to wobble, and he flipped over backwards about 35 yards from my stand. The Viper Trick looks small compared to other broadheads, but I keep my blades razor sharp. I touch up my main arrow's blades at least once a week. Just a gentle touch up with an Arkansas stone while watching TV. I shot the doe with an EZ-V sight and the buck with a single fixed pin sight. I've been an avid bowhunter since 1986, and I don't use multiple pin sights or movable pin sights. I use a simple HHA Optimizer Cadet sight most of the time. I practice all summer without a range finder, because learning to judge distances is a big part of my practice sessions. I move my Rhinoblock all over the place & just shoot. I don't need a rangefinder to know when I am uncomfortable with a shoot. I know my limitations, & I am not taking long shots like out west. I shot 3-blade Muzzy broadheads for decades before switching to the Viper Tricks. My younger brother (age 57) has shot NAP Thunderheads for decades. My older neighbor has done the same for turkeys & deer. They are still successful hunters even with older bows. The key is knowing your equipment. I would take that over a new set up any day.

Had 4 kills with bow in 2023, shooting phase 4 29, 28/70 420 grain arrow with QAD exodus, whitetail doe at 10 yards full frontal complete pass through dead in 22 yards, both elk nd moose were broadside at 40 yards pass through dead under 40, nd mule buck 69 yards shot also pass through and dead in 60 yards

Loved this man thank you for the effort gentleman!

2 kills this year with Grim Reaper Mini Mag 4 blade mechanicals. Both whitetails dropped within 40 yards.

Thank you both for the video. Very valuable information.

Congrats to you both! One of these years I'll follow in those footprints. Vids like this encourage me to stay the path and work towards those goals. Thanks for sharing guys.

It’s your favorite and first official year! Good job! 👏🏽 welcome to hunting!

Great video. Loved the format. This is what I want from yall. Love the honesty.

These are literally probably some of my favorite and best kind of movies or stories. However you want to put it to watch on RU-vid. I enjoy the real life stuff and how it happens and what results happened. Thank you so much for that! Tim and MFJJ, especially with the bull elk story

Fantastic video gentlemen! The editing for this was top notch. Extra points for making sure all of the bow setup information was included.

Great video love hearing the success and failures that you guys go through. This was my first year bowhunting got to enjoy tag soup great learning experience, fun getting out there and doing massive hikes with my bow by myself and with my hunting buddy. Look forward to a great solid off-season of training, and an awesome year next year, will be watching you guys through all your upcoming videos. Thanks again.

Great vid, Tim and Josh. Thanks for sharing. Great information. Merry Christmas fellows!

This was an awesome video idea, and the quality of the shoot and style and format of the whole thing was amazing. Felt like i was sitting right there with you guys.

Awesome video guys. Just subbed and can't wait to see future videos.

Most beneficial video you’ve produced! Thank you!🙏 Current broadhead is a Kuyuga pilot cut single bevel 125 without the bleeder. Killed 2 mature whitetail bucks and a coyote with them now. Total blood loss of all three has been less than expected in a single coyote. All 3 animals also took longer to die than with any other head I’ve used. (37 years of bowhunting big game) Will definitely be making a switch

Shooting a Bowtech Carbon Knight. 65lbs. 465 TAW 1.5 SEVR. Shot a buck early November in NJ out of a saddle at 10 yards. Full pass through quartering away. Arrow entered about second to last rib exited armpit opposite side. He ran 60 yards. Hopefully will be able to get out to get a doe in late season. Side note for this video, it had a cool feel to it. Definitely a different style than you typically do but it was real cool for this type of video. Keep up the great work man. Congrats on a great 2023!

Great video. I used a 500g Easton arrow with a German Jager 2 blade 175g head. Complete pass through 65# bow 29 inch draw. Buck ran about 50yards and that was it

Interesting video, I enjoyed you guys explaining all the different broadheads. I am typically using sevr 1.5 or sevr 2.0s but you guys are opening my eyes to trying some different broadheads. I have had great success with sevrs but might try out some of the grim reapers, just to try something new. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the contents fellas!

Since Tim is the man imma guess his 9iron is 175yards+. Josh's Instagram videos showed him hitting 190 with ease. So my guess is 185 yards for the antelope hunt. This is the best video yet fellas!!!

Trifecta broadheads for elk buffalo and deer , flawless !

Shot 3 white tail this year with the 2 different bows same exact arrow 2 different Broadheads. Shot a mature doe @ 21 yards slightly quartered to with Hoyt RX4 at 73 lbs 28-1/4”. Rip TKO @ 428 grains. Used an NAP DK4 1-3/4” cut she didn’t make it 25 yards died in sight. Shot a nice mature buck at 27 yards same exact arrow with PSE Unite @ 73 lbs and Rocky Mountain switchblade broadhead. Full pass through top of the heart we’re all the valves come together. He went less than 25 yards dead in seconds. Third deer was same exact arrow with new Rocky Mountain switchblade but buck was hard quartering to shot broke high but sliced jugular, esophagus top of 1 lung and into the other lung and stopped. Deer went less than 30 yards and dead in seconds. I admit that is a very risky shot that I don’t recommend. But great success. Thanks for such great content!

Great video. Appreciate that different broadheads were tried. Not all broadheads are created equal.

Started my year using the Method MD3. First whitetail and 1 of the 3 blades sheered in half. Something I have never seen before in a fixed head and couldn't get in touch with customer service (makes sense why the company is currently closed). Been using SEVR 1.75 since and have had great success. Definitely will be trying GR Fatal Steel next year.

Always great content.

Ive had excellent success with qad exodus. The holes and penetration have been unbelievable using a 463 grain tko, 30 inch draw, 67lbs. My teenage son has used Magnus Serrated 2 and 4 blades and has dropped three deer within 80 yards shooting 47lbs, and a 4😊05 grain arrow. The blood trails with the Magnus were very light on all three, but the cavity of the animal was just filled with blood everytime. Took a large mule deer with a wasp drone and while it did the job, I was upset that one of the three blades sheared off wile hitting a rib.

Extremely informative video. May have to re-think my devotion to IW single bevels which have harvested one elk and 3 hogs.

I’d have to say this has been my best season with a bow. I shot two whitetail bucks on public, 9 pointer and an 8. Along with my first Eastern Turkey with a bow on public. I’ve always done the firearm seasons but decided to not this year. The bucks were taken with my Bowtech Solution SD at 70lbs, TAW 484 - TOTA 125 gr vented, Vector ZMR 350. The Tom was taken with my Revolt X at 60lbs on performance, victory Vap SS 350, TAW 418 with SIK mechanical, bird literally took 3 steps and expired with out flopping.

I’ve never used the carnifour but I normally use the 3 blade fatal steel expandables with great results on whitetail

HARD TO UNDERAPPRECIATE THAT AN animal shot threw belly and broadhead ends in chest cavity, that animal has holes in multiple sections of colon, hole in diaphragm and holes in chest tissue. regardless of hitting heart - or not. and yet survived initial trauma as well as potential sepsis. That is absolutely amazing.

2 animals in 23. Phase 4 33 29/70. Black bear in Canada with a440 gr arrow with 2.0 sevr complete pass through and a MASSIVE ENTRY. Went 20 yards. Then went down in arrow weight and up in draw length due to a release change( Carter whisper 2) 405 grain arrow and 29.5 draw 303fps on a Buck with 2.0 sevr. I had a hard deflection off a rib on a broadside shot and cam out near his hip. I’m rethinking broadheads thanks for everything y’all do

I'm also shooting grim reaper broadheads - which your channel, Josh, and Dan, all influenced that decision. I didn't get my target buck this year (but i have recent trail cam pictures so i'm thrilled he's still out there) but i did harvest an early season doe with a grim reaper carni-four. Wow. Full pass through, 15 yard shot, and the blood trail was so good i could've jogged on it. I have carni-four and fixed micro hades. The micro hades fly very well and i love them, but i am totally sold on the carni-four's at this point. Matthews phase 4 33. 65# 29" 430 Grain TAW. Victory VAP 300 spine.

2023 did a lot of broadhead testing. Read/watched lots of reviews. Finally decided on Sevr 100 gr expandable. ACC 3-28 375gr 44#. Kansas Whitetail 25 yds quartering away. From Treestand mid body 2” behind back rib. Looked perfect. 5 pm. Minimal blood. Went in next morning with a tracker & dog. Never found. Tracker concluded deer was still alive. Will never shoot an expandable again. I’ve similar shots at least 10 times with retrieval. I’m 75, and am still trying to recover from this loss.

Took 2 does this past season. 1. 30 yrds 1. 51 yrds. Matthews v3 65lb draw 525 arrows. Sevr 2.0 I wished I could show the wound entrance & exit. It was crazy big.

Vxr 28. 28/70 rip tko 437 grains with an ironwill wide. I don’t see myself changing anytime soon I love it and it flys amazing.

Great video guys. I've never used a mechanical braodhead. There, I said it. I use 3 bladed ,100gr'ers for everything. It works so I've never changed. I hunt elk in NM. I've been using the same Mathews Z Light since 1996. Ok. This is the year of change. I'm looking to upgrade my bow and set up. I was drawn for a quality hunt in a great area. It's going to be a good year whether I get one or not.

Short and sweet version shoot grim reaper! 🔥

Gotta tell you, this format at the table back and forth, which I know is more work but it was awesome. Creative idea. Felt like we were hanging out. Lol

Blacktail hunter from Western Oregon. 18 years bow hunting and this is my preferred set up. Pulling 74 pounds, 30" draw, Easton Axis 5mm match grade arrow, 4 fletched with Flex Fletch Silent Knight vanes w/ aggressive helical, dipped and crested, 75gr halfout insert, 125gr. Magnus Blackhornet Ser Razor, Halo lighted nock. Total arrow weight 541gr. 15.6% FOC. Getting 256fps. Excellent blood trails, pass through every single time. That arrow blows through every animal it hits from any angle.

This season was one of the roughest for me. Not that I’m complaining any time you can get out in the outdoors is great.

Well done gentleman!

Shot 2 whitetails this year with G5 megameats. 500 grain arrow, 70lb elite impulse 34 at 29in. all complete passthroughs and good blood trails.

This was really good

A commento for the RU-vid algo. Great videos. Keep it up.

I can watch these aar videos all day! 1 comment- please keep the specs on the screen a little bit longer. PA whitetail @20yds. V3x, 26.5 draw, 65lb. Black Eagle renegade,G5 dead meat, TAW 357g. Pass through heart, 30' and fell over dead.

Great Video!

I had 2 whitetail kills this year doe and a buck doe at 30 yards buck at 25 used a Hoyt VTM 31 draw length 30 inches 57lbs used a 30inch Easton axis 340 spine arrow with a 50 grain brass insert with a 100 grain muzzy trocar 480 grain total arrow weight had complete pass through on both animals.

Michigan city doe hunt 2023 so far: Seven adult does all shot with the Exodus 125 grain Full blade. I cherry pick my shots because of the close proximity of the houses. Typical shots I’m taking are slightly quartering away at 20 yards or closer, 3” to 4” behind shoulder angle into off shoulder. Every deer shot this year died within 50 yards, most around 25 to 35 yards, with a blood trail Stevie Wonder could follow. Complete pass through although 4 of the 7 arrows were broken because of breaking the off shoulder on the way out. I like these heads so much, because you can practice with the arrow you are actually shooting before the hunt, replace the sharpe blades with duller ones that already killed a deer, then replace with the sharp blades when you go out hunting. Equipment: Phase 4, at 60lbs, Rip HV 350, 29 drawn length, and of course Exodus 125 grain head. These broadheads are bullet proof, I have yet to damage a head even shooting through shoulders and breaking leg bones. Great video Tim, I like these types of broadhead reviews.

Thanks

Great video guys. I have always been told the 5 grains per pound rule when it comes to arrow weight. Was it safe for MFJJ to shoot 360 out of an 85 lb bow? Anyways, I shot my elk with a Bowtech SX80 29" 80 lbs. 515gr arrow with Iron Will 125s single bevel st 40 yards. He spun when the arrow was in flight. I hit centimeters behind the scap and exited near the last rib on the offside and stuck the arrow in the dirt. He ran for about 20 seconds and i heard him crash at about 200 yards. The blood trail was not particularly great. A 2 out of 5 at best. Keep up the great work

Whitetail and turkey. QAD Exodus 100 grain. Can’t fault them. Easy to get scary sharp with the stay sharp sharpener, incredible flight, devastating and good blood, nearly indestructible, reusable. Although this year I’m using Magnus black hornet and stingers because they are also awesome and their warranty can’t be beat.

Broad heads for me have changed since 2002 Muzzy chisel tipped 125 3 blade on a Easton xx75 2315 26.5 " arrow off a PSE nova 4" over draw 2 deer with that setup 50 yds and 30 yds full pass through on both Next jump in years Hoyt magnatec 70 lbs 29" draw Beeman Ics hunters 430 ish grains grim reaper 3 blade harvested 3 deer with this setup PSE bow madness 32 28.5" draw 396 grain arrow montech G5 85 grain 3 blade head 30 yd shot non pass through Current setup Prime nexus 2 80lbs 29" draw Sirius Orions 250 at 29.250 " Annihilator 100 grain head 63 yds quartered away 90% pass through recovered the fletching portion inside the deer all in all that buck ran 50 yds

Does MFJJ know if the sx80 limb pockets will fit an ss34? Thanks! Also great video, do more interview style sit downs I really like how this one turned out!

Holy cow Tim’s a pro right? So 9 iron 140-150yds? So MFJJ 150yd shot? Wow! Can’t even imagine because living in Michigan hunting Whitetail I hate shooting over 17yds. With recurve I don’t like over 10yds. So wow!

I've also been torn on the 2 blade or 3 blade mechanical head. I only shoot 60 pound draw though so I'm a little concerned about getting enough penetration.

Great broadhead info. Real world results..appreciate it.

Curious if blades bent on the grimm reaper fatel steel? Did blades bend on tims pass thru? Curious what the goal is with expressing arrow weights under 420-360 and or what point was bring made? Just that they work well? Great video guys keep it up!!

I love the XV's but I find if you breath on them, they break. Perfect 3d arrow.. But I might run a different Victory arrow next year.

I've always shot g5 montecs 100 grain and never had an issue so I've never tried anything else and this year the whitetail buck I shot went 5 steps and fell over. So I still cant get myself to test any other option at this point.

I got my first vertical bow kill this year. Used a bowtech carbon one 29.5/70 victory rip xv with nock on wraps and their pm-23 vanes, 75 grain collar and 100 grain 2.0 sevr. Taw is about 416-420. Whitetail perfectly broadside at 25 yards from the ground with no blind. Complete pass through and dropped 25 yards from where i shot it. Stevie wonder could have followed the blood trail that thing sprayed

First deer with a Magnus stinger 100gr 4 blade 28” draw 415gr pierce platinum 263fps 12 year old rip cord rest hha single pin. Less than 20 yards from my treestand zipped through him hitting a rock sending sparks 10’ up in the air. High double lung ran 30 yards and fell over.

I've been using those mechanical broadheads for grim reaper also and the blood trail looks like a crime scene.i haven't tried the four blades yet.

Shot my antelope at 86 yards this year. Smoked him. Ran 50 yards and tipped over. Muzzy 4 blade. Got 12” of penetration. Phase 4 29 60 pounds. 420 grain arrow. Went through 2 ribs on the way in.

U guys should talk about the lightest tree stands currently available

@timconnor13 I had 2 kills this year shooting a vxr 75lb mods 29.5 draw with 465 total weight riptkos. Controversial part is I used rage hyperdermic 2” mechanical. Both elk and deer died within 80 yards.. but what I think many are missing is I shot my elk high lungs and got no blood trail but like Josh said poured out when we were dressing out. My deer I shot thru the shoulder low and full pass thru at 30 yards finding my arrow in a tree 5’ behind it with a massive blood trail. Point being sometimes the shot placement matters on the blood trail..

Shot my doe with a slick trick raptor same with the small front hole 1/2 pas through but it’s her in the heart ❤️ blood was A LOT 70lbs Hoyt rx7 27 1/2 draw 450ish tko 4mm

Pretty cool 😎 and interesting 🤔 that both you and Elk Shape/Dan dropped a broadhead update video at the same time. Must be something in the air up in the Spokane, WA region. lol 😆 Except his was about the IW 150 Single Bevel on his blizzard 🌨️ buck 🦌 and yours was about both you and MFJJs experience on animals throughout the 2023 season. I found it both interesting 🧐, informative and enjoyable. Josh with the Big Draw Energy can practically use any arrow setup he wants. I know that Nick Mundt from Bone 🦴 Collector killed a bull elk with a 350 grain arrow with a G5 Megameat. So basically shoot what you want just use a higher quality broadhead that flies well out of your bow setup 🏹. I shot a young doe (my first archery 🏹 animal) with a Victory RIP TKO Gamer 300s with a 100 grain Slick Trick Assailant total arrow weight 476 grains. I had the same experience as Josh when it came to a blood trail. Looked like someone dumped a bucket of red paint for 40 yards. Thanks 🙏 for sharing both your experiences from this year.

Some guys are in awe of a 1.5 - 2.0" two blade mechanical broadhead, but a tiny 4-blade Slick Trick Standard has a 2" total cut with 1" blades. The ST Magnum (same ferrule with 1 1/8" blades) would have a 2.25 total cut). You can't compare a one-dimensional cut of a two blade broadhead without acknowledging the two-dimensional cut of a 4-blade (or a 3-blade for that matter). I also think guys sometimes overlook the blade angle.

Not sure what camera settings are for this video but they are on point.

Good morning!

First time using a magnus stinger. Buck went 40 yards. 50lb realm-x 400 be rampage 400taw I’m color blind so no idea about blood trail. 😊

12:37 I do think that with a 2b mechanical, I see little benefit in shooting a 1.5" cut. You're blowing your load just deploying the blades more so than the limitation of a Sevr 2.0 causes with the pivoting blade.

Id like to hear your thoughts on the Evolution Jekyll & Hyde's

I shot two whitetail bucks (first one was my first archery buck!) using 125 grain SEVR 1.75s on the front of RIP XV shafts with a 72 grain half-out (466 gr TAW). Both expired within 50 yards, but my arrows broke about 1/3 of the way up from the broadhead on both shots. Pretty happy with the SEVRs - they flew great and disintegrated the lungs. Not a ton of blood since my arrows broke but the entry holes were pretty good. Final verdict: Ecstatic with the end results, but lukewarm on the arrow shaft performance for hunting and will be going with something more durable like a RIP TKO next year.

Tell us what you did to get 85#s out of the 80# Bowtech… please. Great vid btw!!

From that conversation it seems like shot choice and placement was the biggest factor for total performance of all the equipment 🏹🦌

2014 xpedition xcentric 65lb 30” 446grains taw annihilator xl 100. Shot a Buck 22yds broadside slipped between the ribs entering and split one exiting. Deer ran 20ish yds stopped then crashed within 1-2 minutes of being hit. Entrance and exit were the same a hole in the middle u clouds put a fat finger in. Ground level high lung shot not great blood but he died fast within hearing distance. My son shot a doe with a 2013 Pse dna sp 50lbs 27 1/2” I’ll have to weigh the arrow. He also used the annihilator xl entrance liver back of lung exited through the other lung forward a bit so she was quartering away slightly. I think broke ribs on the way in and out I don’t remember. She ran 15 yds maybe then walked a few steps with another doe and fell over finally scaring the Sharpened them at a 44* instead of the flat 60* they come with. Got them extremely sharp and polished I think is why they die so fast and don’t run far. They know something happened but not sure what. When you’re quiet and stay concealed they’ll start coming back then fall over. My son could’ve shot another doe if he had a tag for another one in the area we were. One ran right into the spot where he shot his doe and stopped. Added note both arrows zipped right through and into the hill behind the deer.

85lbs at a 30.5 draw throwing 360 grain darts had to be SMOKING fast, holy fps batman

I love Josh but man if he was shooting 100 grains more that might have been the difference. There are always trade offs but balance seems to be the key. Hopefully he’s not too down about it. Thank you both for sharing

That's rough losing an animal like MFJJ did, but good that he got closure on it. I had a similar experience recently. I shot my personal best buck, 10 point whitetail, right at dusk. He was chasing a doe, I stopped him at 35 yards and he was quartered to me more than I thought and I nailed him in the shoulder with what looked like just a couple inches of penetration. He ran off with my arrow, no blood at the shot, no blood anywhere along where I saw him run. Next day a massive thunderstorm came through and dumped inches of rain. A few days later a neighbor called me and had found him dead and brought me the head. He made it over 600 yards and across several properties. I'm getting together with the landowner to check out the carcass and determine what I hit that was lethal. I'm glad to have closure, but that sure isn't how I wanted it to end. Still have a month and a half of deer season left to fill my 2nd buck tag and 10 doe tags.

3 blades in my experience don't tend to get the penatration. Those are the stories we all hate but the ones as bowhunters we really need to talk about. I hit a big whitetail at 45 yards same shot, tracked for 2 days, never recovered. angled away just like the elk, figured one lung. arrow plugged hole, so diaphragm never calapsed. I avoid that shot anymore

Is the 9 iron in comfort mode or performance mode? Usually a 150-160 club. I was expecting a long shot but not that long. He isn’t even allowed to hunt archery anymore. Not even muzzle loader with that range. Only modern firearm season. Haha

Any experience with tooth of rhe arrow broadheads?? Good info appreciate it!

I have to say this..We had terrible luck with the Sevr.2.0. Small holes and no blood trails...Rage made huge cuts..and good blood trails. Will NEVER use a Sevr ever again.

I'm very curious about this elk that had the arrow in it, like wouldn't it have went through the guts and you know what I mean? Probably cut some guts or say some of the liver or the lungs or something. If it was that close to the heart how could it go in there? Not get none of them vitals or cut any of them vitals and it still live like or where they cut and it just managed to heal. I'm just curious about it and trying to learn is all

Bro honestly I would like to see you guys try nap endgame it flys great for a fixed, and I guarantee it will hold its cut size on entry and exit. I consider a broad head that bends 30% to be a failure, I would rather entry and exit being both over an inch than shot a mech with a 0.5” entry and bad performance on exit

Have you tried tooth of the arrow XL it’s all I use anymore they leave a hell of a hole

Cameron is the Kim Kardashian of bow hunting

The stories of the damage done to different mechanical heads is the reason in over 50 years of arrow killing animals is why I’ve always used quality fixed blade heads. It appears the majority of mechanical heads can be considered a once and done expense. Which may be irrelevant considering all the other $ spent on everything hunting related? One meal in a diner can cost more than a quality mechanical.

Here’s a question do you think the iron will or day six broad heads are worth it?

What are your thoughts on annihilator broadheads?

I lost a bull last year with a Sevr 1.5 - shot twice not the heads fault. But hindsight I'd either go full 2.0" mechanical or a 3b fixed. I got no benefit from the 1.5 IMHO as I still didn't get pass through (445 grains at 294 fps). I'm sure given my typical 3b I'd got a pass through and just as much damage.

Bow yoda... thats great! 😂

How on earth did that elk NOT die from that arrow ?. The way you described it, you passed through a lot of stuff !. Intestine, stomach, possibly liver and part of a lung. Typical damage for a hard quartering away shot. This puts a bizarre twist on "no man's land" ;)

Light weight setups. Very interesting vs what you see a lot of people swearing by these days.

Bad hole on entry for the Raptor Trick because the wing blades arent sharpened like a Swhacker.

Soooo, about 120-140yards josh lol, impressive 👏 👌
