Elk22 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I just came accross this on You Tube and thought that I would share. ha ha Kidding! I put this together with the many tests that I have been doing lately. I am sure that my friends will treat me kindly and know that I am an honest person and would not cheat my results. My friends who don't know they are my feinds yet might be more sceptical and possibly brutal until they get to know me. __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodtrails Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Those work sweet! wish I could see what they look like. I'd like to shoot a few of them myself. Nice work though.:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Very interesting video and thanks for sharing. The EPEK looks like a great broadhead. I've shot out to fifty yards with lots of fixed blades including the G5 Striker, NAP Crossfire, and Muzzy MX3 broadheads and all are hitting within a 4" circle and I did not sight in with broadheads. They hit the same as field points. Although I do shoot Rage now I am just pointing out that if a bow is properly tuned you can get fixed blades to fly great. I know plenty of other guys that shoot with field points hitting the same as fixed blades. I'm just saying you don't have to shoot a mechanical broadhead to get field point flight.

RangerClay Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I shoot the XC-3's. I only launched one last fall and it was at a turkey. I didn't get the bird but the broadhead opened like it should have. They do fly just like field tips. I will continue to use them for turkeys this spring and for deer this fall.

buckee Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I agree. Your broadheads and field points should be hitting the same spot. You don't say in your video which fixed blades were shooting well, only that they are fixed blades. How did the G5 Montecs compare in your study?

Elk22 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I havent said the names of the heads used because I didn't want to appear as bashing a head. I was simply shooting a few different heads to see if there was a consistancy between fixed, mechanicals and field points. I will say that you are getting very warm on your question to what I was shooting. ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 How did the G5 Montecs compare in your study? Not sure, but from what I can tell from the video the Tekans shoot pretty poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Few questions................ I see you are affiliated with Epek Was this bow broadhead tuned with a fixed blade? Were all of these heads spin tested? I know alot of guys argue that broadhead tuning with fixed blades doesn't matter but I've made a believer of alot of guys when they come over and we do a little tweaking. I shoot my stingers out to 60 yards and they are on with my field points. I can shoot mechanicals and they shoot the same spot after i broadhead tune. It's all about planing. If the center shot is off then the head will plane. Edited January 21, 2010 by hutchies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) just one question were u aiming for the white spot on the deer? cuz ur groups with even the field points aren't very consistant for me i'm not trying to say this isn't correct im just saying i would have thought u could have stacked a couple of those arrows at 45 yards?
