mrincker Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Here it is we tested several kinds of heads including Jak Hammers, Muzzy, Wac'Em, and Nitrons. All shot out of the same bow with the same arrow setup. Only two penetrated the steel the Nitron and the SONIC. The Sonic has lost blades after passing through Making clean blade slices while all the other heads just didn't penetrate or broke the blades off before even making it through. The picture is on the front page of our website just click the link below. Please post replies with any questions, would love to see what guys think. The only head tested in the pic was the Wac'Em read the caption under the picture for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest IADEERDUDE Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN try a montec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN If you ever try that with the Montec G5's. Make sure you don't just use them out of the package, because it wouldn't be a fair test unless you sharpen them up , ready for hunting like the rest of the broadheads. They don't come sharpened. Interesting test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallone Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN Reflex, if you go to yahoo and put in 5shot broadhead test in the search you can see what the slicktricks and a bunch of others do. This guy really puts them thru some stuff. Not taking away from mrinckers tests but 5shot has some pretty cool stuff he does with broadheads. He even shoots them thru steel drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN well, when the game I shoot starts to wear steel, I guess I'll switch from my Wasp 100 gr. heads, but for now I gues I'll just settle for pass through's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallone Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN He does it to check the durability. I don't know what the season or bag limits are on steel drums and I sure wouldn't want to clean them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN He also charges to use the site. $20 a year to see the results of broadhead tests. I know the results of all the heads I ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallone Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN If you go to the first search result that comes up it doesn't charge to see all of those. http://www.american-hunter.com/broadheads/broadhead_test.htm is free. Never mind shoot what you like. I'm starting to regret getting involved in this thread. 5shot is well known in a lot of other forums and his tests are respected and very helpful, just thought some people here would like to look at some of them thats all.

mrincker Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN Im not sure why this thread got heated the test was simply done for our own sake and thought people may like to see what it did. As far as all the comments on shooting through a steel drum whould you rather us do that to test them or simply test them on deer out of season. The steel is a much more logical bet. Just thought people wouldenjoy seeing it not think I was calling out their broadheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marylandbowman Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN hey dont let um get to ya. i think its a good test. a deers shoulder can be a stuff area to get through so its nice to know whats holding up under those conditions!!!!sure i never aim for the shoulder but some times it happens!!!!!!!in my opion you should pick a broad head for what could go wrong and not for what goes right!!!!! i have used spit fires before and killed plenty of deer with them,but i didmess up and I hit a nice mature 9pt in the shoulder and didnt get much penatrion and after 2 days couldnt find him!Granted bad shot i know,but in the back of my mind if i was using fixed head mite have penatraded more and got the buck.who knows!!!!!! i think you should use a fixed head unless you cant get them to shoot out of your bow. check out the tekan there kind of a mix of expandable and fixed!!!!!!!!

Straight Shooter Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN You know durability is great and is a selling point of broadheads. But, I go for ease of use, tuning, and how well a broadhead flies. It doesn't do me a bit of good if that thing will shoot through five barrels or 2" of steel, if it doesn't fly good. I've shot several different makes of bows, arrows, and broadheads. For the 65-70# draw wieght and 30" draw length range, I've stuck with one combination and it's performed great for me over the years.

snapper Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN These tests are kinda interesting...but I don't see the point other than wasting money on the heads. Lets face it...there isn't a broadhead on the market that won't kill a deer. It all comes down to shot placement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrincker Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN Snapper interesting reply, All we did was take heads he have shot or our friends have shot over the last few seasons. No we dont go buy theses heads just to shot them, but I will say hunting is 90% mental and confidence is a mental thing. yes shot placement is critical but when you do hit that shoulder we have a lot more confidnece in these heads than what we used to shoot. Thus the mental part of hunting is coming into play. No one plans on a bad shot but when it happens its not going to get us down we will still have faith in finding the animal which is the point if hunting. THe recovery.

wtnhunt Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Re: MUST SEE!!!! BROADHEAD SHOWDOWN Really honestly could care less about whether or not a broadhead can go through steel. I have yet to see a deer wearing a steel jacket. Too many good heads out there. I know what flies good with my setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] No arguments about that...I agree 100% As far as not buying the heads...if they are new, its still wasting money in my opinion. If they were already shot through a deer and/or target....wouldn't exactly be a fair test because some blades may have been less sharp than others. Either way....its interesting tests, no doubt....just don't really see the point. Even a bad shot (shoulder blade) a deer's shoulder blade isn't as tough as steel. Not putting your tests down...I do find them interesting...just don't think its going to change alot of folks minds on what they use now!
