Yep. Well said of both heads.

Thank you!

Yep

:)

Well, honestly, that is just not true. If you look at the incredible sharpness of this iron will, for example. And you see the A2 tool steel it’s made out of. And it did very well with the concrete. Why would you say that is sub optimal? The type of steel that’s used in a broadhead is only one factor affecting durability. The way it is hardened alsoaffects it. And the geometric design also affects the structural integrity tremendously. So the concrete test is a good test to see if and how a Broadhead may fail on a very hard impact. If it can handle that, just imagine how well it could handle an animal. That being said, the concrete test only accounts for 3% of the total score. I certainly don’t consider it a pass fail test for a Broadhead. But if I have to choose one, Broadhead that can handle a shot into cinderblock, and one that cannot. All other things equal, I know which one I’ll choose for my hard earned shot on an animal.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Well said. It seems to me toughness and hardness would be serious factors when hitting strong bones.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures This is due to the tradeoffs present in the metallurgy and geometry. A very novice approach to think of blade design is that if it can withstand an extreme test then it should excel at its intended use. A good book worth reading is "Knife Engineering" by Dr. Larrin Thommas. For the metallurgy component, there is a tradeoff between hardness, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Even when you have a nice mid-grade steel like A2, the heat treating processes can either maximize hardness or toughness, not both. If you increase the toughness to go beyond the intended use of the blade, it will have lower hardness. The same is true if you did an extreme test for corrosion resistance. If you were to soak it in vinegar for a month and expect no spots of rust, you would need an extremely high-alloy steel with very poor edge retention qualities. Likewise with the geometry. To survive the concrete test, it needs a very wide primary grind and working edge. Edge geometry has an even bigger effect on blade performance than the metallurgy does. That is why blades are designed with a grind angle to match the exact task it will be used for. When blades are designed to pass a test rather than designed to perform the intended task, they perform more poorly as a result.

That is a really good broadhead. There will be a lot of animals taken with it.

It’s just you

I saw that too.

I agree! And no he wont

Hahah Dude I feel the same way. I always leave 1 at home. Luckily I have about 12 Crimson Talon Crocs 150 that shoot the exact same to fill my quiver.😅

Lol

Well then..... Magnus

True they are not cheap... but do you buy 2 packs and sharpen 20x or buy 2 packs of others 20x....

Well, I agree in part. No homogenous test mediums can accurately replicate an animal, because animals have various mediums within them as well. This head has a fairly wide cut, with much greater surface area, and also thicker blades. That's creating greater friction and resisting penetration. In dryer mediums, like bone and hide and some tougher tissue, penetration will also be reduced by that friction. And a larger bevel like in the Sevr, often opens up a channel for the arrow shaft to pass thru more readily, compared to two blade predominant heads. But in more liquid based mediums, like bloody tissue, penetration will not be so hindered by those factors and heads like this may penetrate more effectively. It's a mixed bag.

Just put both in your quiver and enjoy life 🤷🏻‍♂️

:)

They are great heads.

Back as a kid in the 80's I used old bear single bevels that I could pick up at yard sales and shoot with my 45# Fred Bear recurve... took many raccoons and coyotes over the years until I "UPGRADED" to a compound and carbon arrows around 16 years of age... I still have and use that old wood laminate bow now I'm in mid 40s to take birds and small game with flu flu arrows and small game blunts... oh and my 70# compound shooting 685 grain arrow set up is awesome for taking ANY game in North America with confidence

did you ever lose one? that must hurt. i quite often lose my arrow on passthrough shots.

@@yourmomma2995 lost many... why I had to buy cheap used products... I was a kid...

Thanks

Nice

Oh was that you? I just got them but didn't know who sent them! Thank you.

Oh, man! The shockwaves! The originals that had the bigger front tip were so nasty! I shot an antelope frontal with one years ago … endo ed it!

@@LuskArcheryAdventures yes sir! I had em sent from Amazon. Amazon has the 125 grain heads for $19. Happy testing brother! I’m gonna do some testing of my own this deer season!

the shockwaves wouldn't hold up from my crossbow at 350fps while shooting at my 3d deer target, same thing when i tried the steelhead XL's. it was kind of old and hard, but the blades broke when they hit that target.

All done. It's posting Monday, July 1, at 11:00am

Good question. It largely depends on your set up and shot distance. It takes more oomph to drive it deeply. If your goal is maximum penetration, the 1.5 is best. If you have plenty of momentum, then the 1.5 Hybrid would be great.

Thanks. The last moose was a 51” I hit him with my compound at 20yds and 50yds. Dropped in front of my eyes within 30 seconds. Neither shot passed through but lodged in the hide on his opposite side.

What is your thought on what that would accomplish?

@LuskArcheryAdventures honestly I have no idea. Maybe best of both worlds. Bevel the mechanical blades too. Do not know until you try.

I know the draw cycle would be very different...the draw on this was fairly harsh.

You shouldn't. If you do, please call their customer service. They have great customer service. And you can enter my Discount Code: LUSKFIVE as you place the order.

It's a Kuiu Shirt. You can order them on their website.

:)

That's great to hear. I used them with a crossbow a month ago on hogs and they worked excellently--they fly SOOO well.

Nice. Thanks for the comment. Good luck!

Glad to hear that. Thank you for sharing that. Good luck.

It depends on what I’m hunting. For deer sized game, yep. For much larger animals I like the penetration of the 1.5.

Thank you. Pls make sure I’ve not tested them already. You can search on my channel with the head’s name. The address to send them is 2502 Sun Grove Rd, Melissa, TX 75454. Thank you!

@@LuskArcheryAdventures they are on the way Brother. Hope you are getting well. My family and I have been praying for you and yours.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures they have been delivered. Happy testing!

Do you mean Kudu? Yes. If you ever wonder if I’ve tested a head just search on CZcams: Lusk plus the name of that head :)

Sorry about that.

Ok

Well they fly exceptionally well. Did you watch the video? The longer the blades, the longer the head. They have a hard time adding the weight to the 1.75s. That’s why they’re only in 1.5 and only at 125 grs.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures yes i watched the whole video, we all know for a fact that having more exposed surface area in a broadhead is not ideal. i have never seen a difference in flight from using a shorter head vs a longer head of the same weight. but i have seen more surface area heads mess with flight like everyone has. this one is still small enough to fly well, but we all know that the original without the added bleeder will fly better over long distance and in wind. there is no way to deny that fact.

Nice! Good luck
