Broadhead Torture Test: Am I being too hard on them?

[Caleb Monroe]

I think Dr. Ashby said a curled tip reduces penetration more than a broken tip.  Good video. Surprised at the damage to the abowyer.

Nice video.  What weight was the helix?   From the testing I've done they have performed at the very top, with the 125 grain vs other 125 grain heads.  And better then alot of heads that have a lot more steel

My Zwickey's can bend & break just as good for a fraction the price, think I'll stick with them. Good test

That looks like fun and really well videod. You even coralled an advertiser! I am surprised the heads did so well. That bone is tough. I really expected the 2 blades to pretzel  from that impact. Nice choice of music!
The Abowyer was really impressive considering the cutting edge is so angled flat and sharp. You will not encounter that kinda' bone in the woods. Well done!

I got the badger broadheads in today for my next video and they seem like a solid head. I think they will do well in the testing.

I also got the new magnus black hornets in and they are an interesting little head.

BigJim I'll place an order for some 125 grain vpa 3 blades in the next day or two and I'll add them to the next video.

In the next video there will be some mechs so don't shoot me

Not sure I would expect any different results with most BH's on the market.  Bone is a very hard material and damage should be expected.  The finer the edge or point the more damage that can be expected.  It's a trade off.  Plus the objective is not to hit the bone:)  Just saying.

VPA 2 blade would be nice to see.

I've used laminated counter top and aluminum plate to test BHs in the past.  Either would give a more consistent medium and still destroy the heads.

Dry bone is very hard material.

I wonder how an eclipse 2blade would hold up to that test?  I missed a deer last fall (don't tell anyone) in west tx and stuck one in the rocks. Did not curl the tip but chewed up one edge a little. They have a lifetime warranty against bending or breaking. Just curious!  Matter of fact if you want to try one pm me your address and I'll send you an old 125 grain just to see!
