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.
