German Kinetics may fit the wallet after all?
« on: September 12, 2014, 06:24:00 PM »
Saw this video on YouTube:
 

Think it's a Russian archery shop? Anyways fast forward to about 4:30 and see (what looks to be, at least) the same broadhead being shot into a shovel and subsequently a large brick. From there at 7:40, see how the German Kinetics looks relatively unscathed.

Not scientific, but still found it to be impressive. Been drooling over the 180gr XL broadheads but have always felt a little apprehensive paying so much for a pack of 3. Many have seen, or are at least aware of, the body count that these broadheads have amassed in their targeted purpose (smashing through bone, etc.), but it's nice to know they can survive some abuse as well. A pack of 6 should last a long time, so long as you don't miss!    :D

They are spendy for sure. I like them myself. If I burn through the 3 I have I may try the Eclipse Werewolves as they are 1/2 the price and appear to have similar construction.

GK 180 XLs work for me, just wish I could sharpen them easier.

Had some as a gift.  Sharpest things I ever saw. Great weapon.  Problem: 1) Could never get them as sharp again. Even Ron at KME tried and never arrived where they began.  2) Hard thing to lose one- which I have.  

Sadly- just to darn expensive.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.
