  • This is a Broadhead Battle of the Iron Will Solid 100 gr Double Bevel vs Single Bevel. For the best way to sharpen, see this vid: • Iron Will Single bevel... and also this vid
    • Iron Will sharpness te...
    Here is summary of my 2022 Testing Procedure & Scoring w/ the scores of each head as well. (DB scores listed first, then SB scores)
    Iron Will Solid Double Bevel, 100 gr Score: 87.98 = 9 Golden Arrows
    Iron Will Solid Single Bevel, 100 gr Score: 88.88 = 9 Golden Arrows
    1. Flight Forgiveness (20%, 16 pts each)
    This is not just a test of how heads fly out of my bow, as it was in the past. With a well tuned bow, properly built arrows & good form, almost every head flies well. That's why in the past most heads got a flight score of 9 or 10. But that doesn't help those who may not have perfectly tuned bows/arrows/good form. So now I am gauging Flight Forgiveness. This is based on how the head flies for me, how well it spins, how "sensitive" the flight is to imperfections, & the exposed surface area of the blades. The max score of a Mech is 20 & the max score of a Fixed is 16.
    2. Cut Size (20%, 13.14 pts each)
    The more tissue being cut, the more lethal the head, all else equal. The entrance cut, total cut, & width of the cut (a crucial variable for bloodletting) are all scored:
    The entrance cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5" then that fraction is weighted to 7% of the score. (1.813" = 5.08pts)
    The max cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5" as well, then that fraction is is weighted to 7% of the score. (1.813" = 5.08 pts)
    The max cutting diameter is compared to a standard of 2.0", then that fraction is weighted to 6% of the score. (1.063" = 2.98 pts)
    3. Blades (20%, 17.85, 18.25, pts)
    Initial sharpness (9%: 150 grs=10/10=9 pts; 125 grs=10/10=9pts ) & Edge Retention (9%: +75 grs=8.5/10=7.65pts +125 grs=8.5/10=7.65 pts) are measured using the Edge On Up Sharpness Tester. The pressure needed for a blade to cut thru a copolymer wire is measured in grams.
    Edge Retention is the loss of sharpness after the head is shot in Penetration Test 1, thru 1/2" MDF and 2/3" rubber foam mat & Clear Ballistics FBI gel. For every 50 "grams" of sharpness lost, 1 point is deducted from 10.
    What are some sharpness scores for common edges?
    A butter knife takes 2000 grams of pressure to break the co polymer wire.
    A new high end cutlery edge: ~ 375 grams of pressure.
    A utility razor blade: 200 grams.
    Based on the many broadheads I have tested, here is my scoring scale:
    Out of the Box Sharpness:
    0-200 gr: 10
    201-300 gr 9
    301-400 gr: 8
    401-500 gr: 7
    501-600 gr: 6
    601-700 gr: 5
    701-800 gr: 4
    801-900 gr: 3
    901-1000 gr: 2
    1001-1100 gr: 1
    1101+ gr: 0
    Ease to resharpen or replace blades is judged & given 2% of the score. 5/10=1 pt; 6/10=1.2 pts & 8/10 = 1.6 pts)
    4. Penetration (20%: 18.24 pts each)
    There are 3 penetration tests:
    Pen Test 1: 1/2" MDF, 2/3" rubber foam mat, Clear Ballistics FBI gel. Depth of penetration is compared to a standard of 9" & weighted to 9% of the score. (7.5"=7.5 pts each)
    Pen Test 2: Layered cardboard. # of layers penetrated is compared to a standard of 70 layers & weighted to 9% of the score.
    (68 layers=8.74 pts each)
    Angled Penetration Test: How effectively does the head penetrate 1/4" MDF covered by carpet at a 45 degree angle. This accounts for 2% of the score. (2/2pts each)
    5. Durability (20%, 19.75 pts each)
    Each head is shot thru 1/2" MDF 3 times. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 12% of the score. (12 pts each)
    If a head survives that, it is then shot thru 22 ga steel plate twice. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 5% of the score. (4.75 pts each)
    If a head survives that, it is then shot into concrete once. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 3% of the score. (3 pts each)
    Steel plate & concrete are certainly not "realistic" mediums, but they do reveal the outer limits of a head's durability.
    BONUS: DB & SB: +1 extra sharp blades
    +1 extra thick blades (.062")
    +1 extra forgiving flight
    BONUS: SB: +.5 rotation in gel (15 degrees at 10.5")
    Total DB Score: 87.98 pts = 9 Golden Arrows
    Total SB Score: 88.88 pts = 9 Golden Arrows
    Price : $36.65/head

    Shot both of these heads and they are absolutely amazing in all categories! I've tested them out to 75 yards with no adjustment whatsoever! I'll note the Customer Service is great too! The 1st buck I shot with the double bevel was quartered away hard. The shot entered the ribs and exited through the edge of the opposite side shoulder and then into a big rock. It flattened the tip just a hair (nothin I couldnt file out) but I used their email system and 4 days later I had a new replacement blade and screw in my mailbox! Customer Service top notch 👌

      @LuskArcheryAdventures  Před rokem

  • @frankbrowning328
    @frankbrowning328 Před 2 lety

    Both are really great performers. I agree. If I have to choose a winner, I'd go with the single bevel for the rotation that helps break bone. I think it's worth noting how incredibly sharp these broadheads are straight out of the box. Even after the gel they are still more sharp than the average broadhead. In order to get to 125 grains replacing the titanium ferrule with steel would give additional weight and reduce the overall length of the current 125 gr design. I'd like to see a1.25'' width broadhead with a steel ferrule of maybe 150 grains.

    • @LuskArcheryAdventures

    • @LuskArcheryAdventures
      @LuskArcheryAdventures  Před 2 lety +1

      The bleeders are single bevel as well. In testing, they do not reduce the rotation. They do reduce the penetration a bit...but only slightly, and I'm sure even with the bleeders they will pass thru just about everything they hit. So why not cut more tissue while you pass thru? The wider hole created by the bleeders also reduces friction for the shaft to pass thru more readily.

    I shoo these and love them but one note that might help some people: Because they are blade screwed to a ferrule the tip of the blade isn't always lined up straight out of the box. I just ordered a set of iron will 150 single bevels and their insert/collar system for a new set of arrows and was nock tuning them and was having some issues when I noticed that 2 of the 3 broad heads weren't perfectly straight which was giving me false negatives while insert tuning. It actually apparent in this video with the double bevel head you can see the tip is wobbling when you spin it. With a torx head its really easy to line the tip up perfectly yourself but just thought Id share that, if you do another video on them it might be helpful to check that and share with viewers. Great videos!

    I've always wanted to try out iron will. And honestly the price is the only reason I don't. Not just because how much they are but more because all the great options for 60 dollars and under. Not a nock on any one here .. if this is your head then that's great.. they are awesome. And more than likely i will end up having the single bevels I'm my quiver one of these days

    I'm not a bleeder fan (whistle) but these are incredibly built. I would forgo the bleeders and bump the the cut up another 1/8th inch or more if possible. IW with a 1.5 cut would be a jakhammer.

    I want to shoot these so bad but I can’t get away from the QAD Exodus. It would be awesome if IW came out with a three blade. Or……A single bevel three blade. I shot the “hurricane” a few years ago. Great concept but the metal was soft and blades were really dull. I bet Iron Will Bill could take that concept and hit an absolute home run with it!

    the single bevel turned 15 deg at 10.5"...and you conclude that it cuts more tissue ....oh dear.... while mathematically you could calculate the cutting line of the outer tip, but with only 15 deg, and the relative small ratio "cutting projection of the BH vs penetration into the gel" ratio we talking here about fractions of a mm ....every muscle contraction and movement / response of the animal will affect the length of cut tissue much, much more...
    if you really want to use this criteria, you would also have to measure the penetration into the gel accurate to the 100th of a mm ...and it may well be that the "more" cutting you get from the 15 deg twist is well outperformed by a 0.5 mm deeper penetration of the double bevel.

      Look up “starburst cut from single bevel”
      Wraps the tissue up (if super soft mediums like lungs) and makes small nicks in areas that I have seen as far at an inch away from the main wound channel. Mathematically you are correct, though. And no I didn’t knick it with my knife :)

    • @WM-jy9dz
      @WM-jy9dz Před 2 lety +1

      @@ppoutside6723 ripping or wrapping tissue up is actually a "bad thing" - why? ...because it consumes much, much more energy (which is limited in an arrow) than a clean cut. The cleanest cut will consume fewest energy thus will result in max penetration. Locally your "starbust" might do a nasty damage, but doesn't lead necessarily to more bleeding respectively faster blood loss, and it comes with a hefty "price tag" as the penetration will be less.
      Other down sides of a single bevel is less cutting efficiency as the bevel angle is usually bigger; if you want to keep the same cutting efficiency of a double bevel you actually weaken the cutting edge.... (that's why kitchen knifes never come with a chisel bevel, and that is why a convex blade / bevel is the strongest blade shape on a knife).
      If you believe in this "wrapping myth": just keep your BHs blunt and you will achieve the same impact...

    A2 isn't the top tier broadhead alloy. S7 is often considered the premium choice for a reason. Technically 3V would still be better than A2, just way harder to machine and the wear resistance is unnecessary. It's one of the very few flaws of the IW heads. The other "big" flaw is the screw.
    The modularity allows tighter tolerances and quality control, with improved material preservation. Bill is an engineer, and he designed these things like an engineer would--to work perfectly in all scenarios, but just barely so. Overkill was exchanged for production capacity. That being said, every IW head coming off the line is going to be indistinguishable from any other head of that size and style. That says a lot.
    I've wanted to find fault with them, but I can only say I don't like the steel choice and I think the two piece design is great for most people but not what I desire. If the rear edge had the bevel on the other side it'd have better rotation in flight. They don't have the spearhead shape of the Ashby head so punching through the shoulder isn't an option on elk or bigger.

    • @LuskArcheryAdventures
      @LuskArcheryAdventures  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Bill is not an engineer, but a Physics Teacher :) I like S7 as well and prefer a single piece head in some ways. But these component heads have proven extremely durable and allow for very high tolerances in production, as you said. I completely reject the faulty reasoning of the 3:1 principle of Ashby. Great for designing a wheel chair ramp, where lift is involved, but has little to do with cutting. I'd take a shorter head like these on an elk shoulder over an Ashby design any day.

    • @YoureSoVane

      @@LuskArcheryAdventures I could have sworn that Bill had an industrial engineering background. I might have mixed him up with someone else. Either way his engineering is top notch. He knows his s***.
      However the 3:1 theory has legs. Looking at history, the weapons designed for stabbing were all narrow with gradual tapers to the sharp point. The more the emphasis on stabbing, and less hacking or slicing, the more spike-shaped the blade. The issue is dependent on the medium you are cutting. Softer media won't show a huge difference. Narrow arrow points with gradual tapers penetrated deeper into chain mail (bodkins and the like). I've compared an acute splitting wedge with a wider maul in cedar rounds in the past. Even though the final width was about the same, the wedge drove deeper while the maul ripped the wood more. In sufficiently tough media, or inconsistent media, you'll notice the mechanical advantage. It's more cutting an opening, and less ripping apart the layers.
      When sushi chefs cut large slices of meat, they draw a very long blade through the meat to cut gradually because it lowers the peak force to cut as opposed to pushing straight down from above. Guillotines had angled blades to slice instead of chop. Chop into a stack of cloth compared to slicing a longer blade with about the same amount of total force. The mechanical advantage is in spreading the cutting force along the length. You can't really say whether it's easier to cut a single strand of yarn with low advantage, because the threshold is so low. It gets complicated with bones because they are brittle, but the logic still applies.
      The Ashby 3:1 head just gives the advantage in heavy bone or cartilage, like ribs on bison or the actual ball and socket joint. It's the solution to a specific problem. It can work in any environment with little detriment, but there's very few environments where it is the best solution. Knowing my luck and skill, I'm likely to hit the socket and lose penetration, so I advocate for preparing for the worst. In a wall of softer material, the surface friction might hinder larger broadheads, but with bone and cartilage and that nice lubrication known as blood it's hard to fault the 3:1 heads.
      You'll never change someone's mind on the Ashby reports or the factors, but I do want to show that there's nuance to the idea, and that being effective isn't the same as being necessary. You can either be picky about your shot placement and angle, or be as flexible as possible. Quartering away and from a tree stand on any deer is ideal so you'll never need the high mechanical advantage. If that's how you hunt, then don't worry about it. It's a solution. If you don't have that problem, then you don't need that solution.
