I have footed my stumping arrows for a few years now and what a difference, as the great video shows they are bullet proof. What did you use for gluing the inserts in ? I use hot melt so I can tune BH's easier and if I hit a rock or other HARD object I get the same result shown in your video, I just heat them up and reglue and I'm ready to go.

Thanks for the great video, very well done !!

So would using a full metal jacket be the ultimate?

I've done a lot of the same testing with concrete and have done a lot of broadheads also. I shoot fmj on most of my bows and footing them makes them very tuff, but I have bent the shaft behind the footing with angled shots.  I don't think you will ever hurt one on a animal otherwise I wouldn't keep using them.  On a straight on shoot like in the video they just blow the nock off
Out of the broadheads I did the best ones to take the damage where  
1.  300 xtreme.  
2.  300 grain  VPA Penatrator  both these heads had the tip blunted but did not bend
3. And 4.  225 grain tuffhead 160 grain standard size grizzly both had slight tip bends

Other head that did well was the 165 grain glue on Simmons safari.  

I realize we don't hunt concrete but it was a fun test for me to do. And see how much difference some heads did, even some of the same model but lighter grains.

If you put the footing to the end of the inserts and not just the shaft it may very well of not even popped the insert. Great video! Shawn

The amount of energy lost without footing is amazing. There is some real difference there. Imagine hitting a deer in the shoulder and getting 1 inch of penetration on the ball and socket and then that little bit of extra energy possibly punching thru into the chest cavity. Something to think about. I am about to do all of mine!

Pretty amazing video.  I've seen a similar video performed with hard wood shafts on forrester.com website

Great demo Daniel!

If I made arrows I think I'd foot them based on what I've seen here.

God bless,Mudd
