- here is our test of the new beast broadhead from bowmar archery
this thing is jam packed full of ridiculous claims so we shall see just how it performs!
have you used it? what did you think of them?
60$ for two mechanicals is a very steep price... are they worth it?
check them out here they only have the 2.3 inch cut

both of these have been proven afield & on our pattern testing so i am stoked to put them side by side with as many loads as possible to see just where the difference is - Sport
Thank you again for a good honest review. That is absolutely an insane price to pay for them. I’m still on the Rage and many rag on them, I guess I’m just lucky w/it. Keep it coming BCO 👊
Hey if they work run em! All that matters is the hunter has confidence in his setup afield whatever that may include!
The Bowmars must have hired the same PR team they use to delete their negative social media comments to do their marketing
Very well could be!
Thanks for the review Lusk archery had the same failures. Should get refund how can they sell this junk. Thanks
I mean it honestly fits their personality lol
Man lots of effort involved in this test lol ! I agree over priced and I also agree gel is just a bad way to test these kinds of heads. I used to shoot nap slingblade broadheads( gator style head) they don’t perform well in gel but man do they do great on deer lol. Hope to see the G5 T2 and the B3 rd2! Keep up the great work fellas!
Honestly we have yet to see this much issue with a Broadhead in gel… the only others were the OG Sevr & thorn but when you put fabric in front they both did their job
This one… well you watched lol
Love the channel, guys.
But to be fair to any broadhead test is the fact that ballistic gel is not living tissue. A sock is not living tissue. An old bone is not living tissue. Your test is flawed.
You need a more realistic testing method.
1. First layer a piece of deer hyde or elk hyde or a piece of leather to simulate the first layer more accurately.
2. Second layer, use a tenderloin or some type of thick meat that is several inches thick.
3. Third layer, add your bone.
4. Fourth layer, add more meat/tissue to simulate the inner cavity of the animal to show the actual deployment of the blades, along with the ability to avoid bone, and then penetrate the inside of cavity of the animal.
5. Fifth, you need some type of lubricant to simulate fluid/blood --- I would be willing to bet these broadheads would show a huge cut, blood trail, etc.
Using a sock, a bone and then ballistic gel is not realistic at all... its like you turned the animal inside out to test this broadhead; not to mention using materials that do not simulate an animal!
I would agree these things are pricy, no argument there. But there are a lot of high level archery hunters that swear by mechanicals. To chop this broadhead up to "junk" is grossly unfair based on this test method. There are other youtubers that have tested this broadhead and graded it as one of the highest quality mechanicals on the market due to several factors, but you all can find those sites at your leisure. Thanks again for the review and overall work...
What you just listed as a proper test is just ridiculous that’s called shooting animals essentially lol
This test works with every Broadhead we’ve done so far and we’re over 200 tests so it works to see the performance just this Broadhead performed piss poor and even more so at the $30 a head price point
I’m not really influenced by what high level archery hunters or any CZcams channels do as most are paid or sponsored, I let the performance talk and the test walk and this testing style has landed me the best hunting setup in performance I’ve had seen so clearly it works
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA you need to review your testing. Its just flawed! This review means nothing!
@CoachGoodwin23 Found the guy that bought these broadheads🤣 its a consistent test median that works well, you will never get a fair test unless you go shoot the same animal because every single animal is slightly different doesn't matter if they are twins lmao
Over 200 tests so far this way and the results have brought us our best setups to hunt based on performance I don’t think it’s flawed
Sorry your Broadhead didn’t fit what we like, that doesn’t mean it is junk or shit just means we won’t hunt it literally it
Performance talks the rest walks
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSAhaha dude just wants to hate, appreciate the testing! And could I ask what your go to hunting setup actually is?
Blades deploy faster than the speed of sound .... where was the sonic boom? 😂😂😂
I silenced it with my finger mittens…..
I mean he is not wrong
It won’t make a “boom” per se, it would make a small whip crack sound, not audible while the broadhead impacts. Think of it like a supersonic bullet, you’d only hear the “boom” if it’s going directly over your head, even then it’s super quiet
I’ll also note, the box says “up to” 940 or whatever mph, that’s including the impact and speed of the bow, I do doubt they’re going that fast though 😂maybe with his amped up 140lb bow or whatever steroid man is shooting
Yall should do a test with the Crimson Talon Croc. Single bevel and reasonably priced
That one is coming I’ve wanted to since last year ahahah
So those fancy exotic springs didnt do shit to help this broadhead out
I’m really not sure what was the issue
Man this video had more drive by shots than a Chicago street after bar close. 😂
Pew pew pew 🇺🇸💪🏽🤌🏽
I was curious to see some testing videos after Snyder said he has had great luck with them so far, interesting to see all the results from both sides coming in. More data is always good 👍
@dans868 performances will always vary based on setups etc
I personally would pass but that is just my personal opinion
Im so glad you pointed out the fucking price of those things a one and done head
Very pricey indeed
Ya'll about killed me. I hit the subscribe
My Man! Thank you’ we are all about performance talks & the rest walks with having some fun during 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Test the new g5 2 blade expandable.they look 2 muck like rage
I’ll check em out, probably just like this situation with bowmars leaving sevr and creating a “different” sevr as theirs
With Dudley leaving rage and bringing that Broadhead with him lol
I shott grimreapers for mechanical and slick trick magnum and wicked trick for my fixed blade
I like it!!
would never use this junk or any other mechanical head fixed only for me great video thx...
We roll with fixed too hard to ever go back lol
I like watching broad head reviews no doubt. But being fortunate enough to live in Kansas and hunt some of the biggest whitetails year after year the grim reapers haven’t failed me personally in 20 years. They are definitely (Silent Death) in a package.
Bro grim reapers are insane that’s what I hunted with til I switched to the fixed heads I shoot now
Insanely sharp… 4 heads per package for $45 (last I bought them) and hold up extremely well very good heads
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSAwhat fixed heads do you guys run? I switched to QAD exodus last season and really like them
@illinoispublicland4680 here is what I use currently based on testing and you’ll see why in the video ahah
Penetration test : czcams.com/video/g-Vp1qdGMgE/video.htmlsi=8WoVcMs7o2BzAhJc
Shoulder test : czcams.com/video/S8QgoEPem4U/video.htmlsi=ujjmfvykLgWVwnPS
So does the density of the gel just to much for the springs?
I have no clue honestly it shouldn’t be as it’s cutting, I could see when it came to rest but it never even cut
Watch tomorrows vid though 🤫
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA I’ll tune in!
I feel like you came into this review already hating bowmar and hating the broadhead. You shot a sock and bone into ballistic gel. This isn’t a review, it’s a “hate” post.
I had zero reason to hate the Broadhead I was hoping it’d perform as I spent $120 on them
Every Broadhead I hope performs on the video as that is better for the video
Also this style test has worked over & over with every other Broadhead, as I actually said in the video the BA technology is what I thought was the culprit of it not deploying as it tried to avoid resistance regardless this isn’t for me as my fixed heads that cost less for 6 heads have performed flawlessly in this test style & proven afield
Good test man, I could definitely see some varients that would change the outcome of the test, but you’d think it would preform better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well yes performance will vary from setup to setup as always
The most impressive thing about this video is those socks bro put the name brand up for them things they can stop broadheads opening up faster than the speed of sound .
My socks don’t mess around 🤌🏽💪🏽🤣
I shot a buck in the fall with one and only went about 25 yards and was bladed had no damage and was usable after. Interestingly enough when I bought the first run of them they claimed blades deployed at 700 and now saying 940🤔
Elkshape did a review hunting in Texas I believe where he had great results on 2 separate deer
That’s awesome glad it worked for y’all but I test to find setups I have no doubts to take afield, like I said I’m stoked it has worked for y’all but it’s an easy hard pass for me
Wait a minute…. I had to stop the video at the 7:50 mark to recompose myself when I asked about this broadhead earlier today i wasn’t expecting to get one hell of i comedy bit or the socks. Yall are doing fantastic. Between yall and lusk I’ve saved a bunch of money and potential heartache.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’re welcome ahahah
This is very interesting! This is the only test I’ve seen it do this, but you got the same result consistently. Maybe a dud head? But if that’s legit, it’s pretty scary.
It did it in both the 2.0 & 2.3 heads
It’s just their design to avoid resistance from bone but there is a huge difference between bone & gel regardless what they say
There are tons of better options in which you can get 3 heads for the price of one of these in mechanicals or some good fixed heads that will last forever for the same price range
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA I’m glad I saw your video, I was getting pretty sold on these from the rest of the tests I’ve seen but maybe propaganda and paid advertising isn’t just for political campaigns! It’s definitely leaked into my own industry too.
I subscribed and I’m looking forward to catching up on more of your content 🍻
@MikeJones-vb1me bro The outdoor industry is just as bad if not worse!
That’s why I started bco!
All performance talks the rest walks no bullshit no bias just flat out performance
Nice video, better hat
Thank you!
You need to get Zeus Broadhead on your channel
It’s been on since the year it came out, both in gel and through the car hood!
You can get the same style heads for less money from VIP archery and they are good heads. Bomar sued them over a patent over the trigger mechanism of the blades. He lost and VIP won. The more I learn about Josh Bowmar, the more it sounds like hes a bully chasing fame.
Yessir!
No thanks for sure. Great job guys!
It’s a pass from us as well I’m sure it will fit some people though!
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA That Minimag you guys highlighted a while back has been magic for us. Large entrance and exit holes, massive blood trails, field point accuracy and it puts them down fast,
@buckfever4721 that minimag is an underrated BEAST!
Shot the favorite pair of socks for nothing
Man it hurt the soul…. Was a touch colder today in the work boots 🤣
My brother got got a pack of these and they are straight garbage! If you want a reliable head go with someone else. Glad to see an honest review of these things. Good job
It happens!
Do a single bevel vs beast broadhead
I won’t film the beast Broadhead again… not worth it it’s going to do the same thing
So they basically cost almost as much as my iron will heads.....yeah makes total sense
That’s my exact point lol
"Same people who watch their fitness videos"......man I loved that!!!! AND, "couldn't add anymore steroids or we would get banned" LOL for sure
Had to have some fun with it!
in all fairness- what is suppose to make it great also presents a weakness in your test. IMO, the friction of the bone evading blades entering the gell is too much for the springs. I know it sounds silly but i bet if you shot into an animal you would not have the friction the gell presents. As a test, take some Pam and spray it on the broadhead blades and try again and see if that doesnt help... idk. I also bet any mechaincal blade would get messed up when going thru bone. The sharper the broadhead the finer the edge on a double edge... its going to take some damage. The good was that thing seemed durable, most mechanicals would of had bent blades. And your 100 % correct- a bit over priced.
We have shot a bunch through that shoulder blade or car hood with them holding up better than these
In my eyes no Broadhead should be held shut by the gel we’ve never seen that issue not once… well once now 🤣🤣
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA yep, have not seen that before either. One of you should really hunt with one at least once and do a follow up video.
@andysmith8295 ya no
We don’t hunt with things that don’t perform in testing…
These broadheads don't break on bone cause they move out the way
@samuelsalmons69 unless they can move inside the Broadhead which they don’t they can only move so far out of the way ensuring they will indeed make contact with the bone and as seen in our testing take damage from it
Ruffled some bowmar feathers with this review. They had a nice comment about it on their latest insta video 😂
It is what it is, I’m sure it works for people it’s just not our cup of tea based on the performance
I’ll stick with the Magnus single bevel 😂
I agree!
This is like the 3rd review that is showing the blades will not fully deploy in gel. I can't imagine that gel is that much tougher than a liver?
Gel is more dense for sure but weve tested over 150+ broadheads through this style testing and we’ve only seen this happen with this head
Extremely similar to the original Zeus Broadheads IMO.... IDK if they'd match up with them tho, I've seen the Zeus Broadheads do some serious damage and take a beating and stay reusable....
Then I’d say they don’t match up lol
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA Robert Rohrer Outdoors did some tests on them few years back and even with their chisel tips, they got a ton of penetration at like 60lbs without damaging the heads. I've seen them blow straight thru a 50 gallon drum leaving a bullet hole without damage. They're pretty impressive...
@southerndraw935 we tested the Zeus broadheads 3-4 years ago it did very well for us
Bowmars blowing smoke up ppls asses? NO WAY!
It be like that sometimes
My single bevel heads open every time
100% ahahah
Isn’t there a dispute between them and vip archery for the spring assist?
That’s the Broadhead I was trying to remember the veteran!
As far as the dispute I wouldn’t doubt it
I just cant support a poacher. Facts.
Agreed
For those that do not know. They were found guilty for poaching Turkeys in Nebraska. And had to pay 75k fined and 2 years probation.
@@wcwcgarner2717you don’t pay 75k for poaching a turkey they did a lot more than that hahahh
@wcwcgarner2717 the other people involved got time. The bowmars should be in there with them
And Bowmar now owns BCO lol good luck boys
They don’t nor will they
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA lol I hope not brotha I’ve heard things like that have happened before with him
@ethanfeatheroff9135 well I don’t doubt that one bit ahahah
I enjoy watching Bowmars hunting videos but ain’t no fuckin way I’m spending $30 per broadhead. I’m new to archery but I’m not stupid 😂
Right! That’s literally outrageous, that is the same price as a top notch fixed head made with the best steel 🤣🤣
It didn't deploy because when it tried the bone locked the blades back into place and the gel it's self is to soft
A piece of leather in between the bone and the gel will simulate muscle strands and causes the broadhead to redeploy
Never had this issue outside of this head… I don’t believe the gel is the culprit here
great testing, you have proved its a pos over priced junk
I will get it to deploy lol
apparently, those blades CLOSE at a whopping 940 mph too.
🤣🤣🤣 best comment yet ahahah
they are pricey, because he needs that $$$ to pay off his poaching fine.
He’s definitely a brohunter
Touché well played!
Thanks for a good chuckle, I needed that. These heads are overpriced dog crap.
I at to much money for them that’s for sure
Yeah I'll stick to my sevr 1.75 and QAD exodus
Both are solid!
Swhackers for the win
In this sure lol
Im dieing. Nose buttons only from here on out.
Do you like that nose button they make? I’ve never shot with one but that seems like the only product they have that looks solid
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA I do prefer the nose button over a kisser button
I wish I could remember who has the original nose button. It’s been around for a long time. I’ve yet to see bowmar have an original idea.
@gsnicholas8522 well that you really can’t hold against them that’s just how this world works everyone just copies and copies
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA they play it off like it's their idea. That's a blatant lie.
Your also using the same broadhead and shooting through shoulder bone
Believe it or not that’s the point of a test! We do it with every Broadhead and this is the only one who failed to open
But it’s their BA technology I believe trying to avoid resistance which it should still deploy in gel
I like the bowmars and think the broadhead is steep in price for 2 but the outsourced the steel and pretty sure that’s why it’s more. Either way I think your review was good and definitely tested the broadhead I just don’t think it was a fair way to do it is all. I have watched multiple of these reviews and have seen different outcomes is all. Appreciate the content.
@christophertowsley8563 bro I’m machinist it isn’t due to the steel you’re paying more for a name
And Broadhead tests will vary in performance just how it is
Anyone who pays $60 for two broadheads……..or even 6 broadheads, is nuts! The gouging from broadhead manufacturers is out of control.
I can understand for a proper fixed Broadhead as you can resharpen easy and hunt it again without questioning if it will be sharp enough to be ethical
But for mechanicals:.. that’s insane
Now hold up, everyone going on about how expencive they are, and then u say the ironwills are 33 each? Is there not alot more work to do with all the moving parts and such? So shouldnt they be more expencive? Does this mean the iron wills are a huge rip off then because its just one solid piece no?
Iron Will is worth the price as it’s A2 & titanium you could buy six and not need new ones AGAIN lifetime warranty
Or buy two mechanicals for $30 a piece which is UNREAL
The broadhead is as good as your camera man 😂
Yes 🤣🤣
Some people shouldn't do broadhead reviews. This guy is one of them. Holy mother of nosense.
🤣🤣🤣 sure 👌🏽
This guy's buys Bowmar
@BadKarma.- some people lack common sense is all
That’s a pass from sleazyyyy
It ain’t easy being sleazyyyy
Trash glad I watched this first! I will stick with G5 Deadmeat.
Very expensive heads for sure considering you need 3 packs to fill my quiver at $60 a pop 🤣
A feild point will bust that shoulder blade…. Think this is a garbage head…. SEVR, Reaper. Etc
I just don’t see enough to justify spending the price these things go for
I’d rather get iron will’s solid 125 single bevel for $3 more a head and never need to buy another pack of broadheads 🤣🤣
Junk
I’m not done with these Wel get em to work
Dude your jokes were so funny 😂 the bowmars are so fake.
I don’t mean anything more than just fun joking just to be clear I don’t really have an opinion on people I don’t actually know
Why wouldn’t the meat and hide push the springs back too? Decreasing your wound channel.
Well the gel is extremely dense, far more dense than game tissue but it should have had zero issue staying deployed regardless it makes myself worry
I see many defend it and if it works for them that’s awesome it just isn’t something I’d hunt myself
There will be a lawsuit coming your way. How dare you!!!
Performance talks the rest walks!
Don’t dog it too much. They will sue
Not dogging it, just sharing my opinion on the performance at hand
Like most Bomar products, a gimmick
They about making that money!
I prefer my blades to deploy at over 1,000 fps. So I probably wont be purchasing these.
Maybe next year the marketing will get me. Come on 1k fps blades!
Please switch to fire arm mode and run the blade deployment over the Garmin. Maybe these are for me 😂😂😂 been thinking about putting two finger mittens in my pack anyway.
🤦🏼♂️ im done
🤣🤣🤣🤣
#racefor1K
I know you're joking around but I was curious to see what 940mph was and it's like 1350+ feet per second
I’m not joking around it says it deploys at 940fps , when it was released it said 650 then 700 now 940 fps
I’d have to test that as there is no way it’s 1350+ fps
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA I think the claim is 940 miles per hour which comes out to the 1350 feet per second
Trash. Do they have hunting licenses in the US or just Africa??
I’m not sure if they can hunt here or not
@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSAlast I heard was that they lost their hunting privileges for a few years due to their poaching. I don’t remember the exact number of years.
Not impressed by the beast broadheads, will stick to slick tricks and QAD EXODUS
Not a bad idea!
Man that broadhead is an epic fail for me.
I am gonna have to find a way to make it work… maybe needs some performance enhancing supplements 🤣
Good thing I gave up mechanicals years ago and stopped wasting my money on garbage like this.
Once you go fixed you don’t go back…
Not good that all junk
No bueno so far
There junk
Not impressed at all ….Sevr is the only mechanical id use if I had to use a mechanical again
I can’t disagree
Grim reapers too
Its made to test on animals no offense but these test are the joke just take the damn thing to the woods and do what its designed to do i have 7 whitetails killed with 4 heads that didnt go over 50yrds
Anytime you have to say no offense it’s exactly the opposite… but Ya I don’t test on animals not my thing we test and hunt based on performance from testing as should people
Must be you missed it but I said if it works good for you I’m not trying to change you up just to me it’s a huge waste of money
Animals aren't a consistent test median, also every mech I've ever seen tested has opened on gel soooooo❤
Well to be fair the Broadhead did what it’s designed to do and avoid resistance… but with that said I’m good my kayuga single bevel’s cost me $48 for 6 and they performed insane in our tests and afield why in the hell would I pay $20 more for 4 less broadheads that won’t last
I mean to me it’s not even close
