VPA 3 blade 200 grain.

X2, this seems like a way to get on the Ashby scale on the cheap. (W/ 100 grain inserts)

I like to see razor sharp BH's compared to kinda sharp of all types. Also, would like to see a well tuned BHed arrow compared to a kinda tuned w/ different arrow materials.

This sounds like an interesting idea but I'm not sure the results would be notably different in regards to penetration but we all know it matters a lot in regard to lethality! And for the guys that want to see the Cutthroats tested, I tested them on a doe last season and they preformed wonderfully!

This is the exact same setup I'm running. I watched a video on youtube last night where a guy put them to the test - shot one into masonite backed with plywood, into concrete, and through a metal chair 3 times with a compound and the nose just curled a bit. Best part is the lifetime warranty - Magnus will replace them even if you use them to do tests like this with. I think they'd hold up just as good as any others you tested.

To me the most interesting test would be to check any manufacturers single bevel two blade penetrates more than that same manufacturers two blade double bevel head. One of the claims to the single bevel is that the bevel continues the spine direction through its target. I know for a fact it does continue the rotation as my slits in deer and targets aren't in the same orientation from inlet to outlet. What I would like to see is that if that continued spin internally helps in penetration distance.

The Eclipse would be a good example

don't worry about Ace, these are proven thru & thru many ribcages.

Thunderhead 125 vs snuffer 125. I know from using them they both work great but so many here will dump on the thunderheads for not being COC that actual visual proof would be interesting............. OBTW use a light bow.......

BWD · May 05, 2015, 08:22:00 PM

I believe this is something we can all agree on...all broadheads need testing.

barewithme · May 06, 2015, 09:16:00 PM

magnus 1 4 blade

Crooked Stic · May 06, 2015, 11:13:00 PM

Get any of them sharp and the right combo tuned wise out of your bow and put them in the boiler room----------test aint gonna matter.

Scott E · May 06, 2015, 11:23:00 PM

Thank you all for your input, so far I'm going to test a single bevel design, a standard two blade, a convex two blade and a three blade. Still deciding on what brands to choose.

I think it will be interesting to see them all tested side by side.

My clear ballistic gel came in today and it is some pretty cool stuff. I'm doing some tests tomorrow with it but for the wheelie folks. I will be shooting a helix and a simmons land shark in the test.

Looking forward to your tests! Don't test Abowyer Brown Bears-waste of time-they are sharp outta' the package; I have used them on jack rabbits, hogs and large elk etc. Killer head!
