    I have been shooting these for two years, they zip through whitetail and blow through shoulder plates. The ferral holds up great, but you have to but a rebuild kit for the blades after they run through a deer. Best blood trails you've ever seen, entrance and exit holes are ridiculous! Ive shot some through multiple deer, others needed blad replacements after one deer. Never had an issue with a bent ferral. Deadly accurate out to 80yds. I have harvested at least 12 deer with these, and never had one run more than 100yds.

I got some big bucks walking around and lost some does this year unfortunately good shots but bad broad heads (rage) so I got these

    Just recently shot 2 deer with this head. I love them! complete pass through of both deer neither went 30 yards. The blades do bend after being shot. One of the deer was shot through the shoulder quartering to me, crushed through hard bone and still had a complete pass through. The blades bend but have not broken, in my experience.

      ​@@diggernash1I have a crossbow that's rated for 400 fps. I shoot a 200 grain vpa single bevel, and the total arrow weight is 650 grains.
      What made the difference was nock tuning. I shoot the same hole at 20, 30 yards and a 2 inch group at 40.
      It's possible but you definitely have to tinker with the arrow way more. I had my sevrs perfect after 5 shots. It took me probably 80 shots and alot of adjusting to get these shooting well but I'm happy I did.
      But with that arrow weight I had to buy a speed ring scope , and the weight slowed it down a fair amount from the 400 it was at. The time and money investment may not be worth it to some

    Looks like a few others have already said it but I also would like to see you test the latest deadmeat V2 in 125gr. I killed an adult whitetail doe with one last year on a less than desirable shot..the head completely smashed through and shattered hard long bone. The ferrule remained in perfect condition while the blades only had some light chatter to it without bend. Ive used the megameat before as well and not nearly as impressed. Those longer blades for the larger cut sacrifice penetration and blade durability by a mile imo. However i cant say enough about the deadmeat v2. Sharp enough to shave hair completely off my arm out of the box and built like a tank for a mechanical as far as im concerned.

    They will definitely put a hole in an animal, and the blades will most likely be mangled. It will typically be a one and done, but not always. I just shot a deer with one and it even went into the dirt and it is reusable. I had a blood trail instantly double lung, and it was spraying blood on the trees as it ran 3ft on the tree…. I use the 125 grain and they put that extra 25 grains into the feral but I wish they would’ve put it into the blades instead on the heavier models.

    Switching back to 125 Exodus full fixed blades. Shot buck a little back with the sevr 1.75, no pass through and not a single drop of blood anywhere. This is probably due to the fact sevr open when they are inside the cavity. If you don’t have an exit it most likely won’t have a blood trail.

    As long as the ferrule is durable, and the blades hold up well enough to cut through ribs, having single-use blades can provide outstanding cutting performance.

    • @LuskArcheryAdventures
      @LuskArcheryAdventures  4 месяца назад +1

      I agree with that largely. But the problem with blades that bend so easily has nothing to do with reuse. It’s more about where it bends inside of an animal. Blades at Bend can impede penetration and affect lethality and blood trails. I love the big holes that these make, but I prefer a bit more durable blade design, that can hold its shape all the way through the animal.

    • @ThirdLawPair
      @ThirdLawPair 4 месяца назад

      @@LuskArcheryAdventures That's absolutely my thinking. If they bend while cutting through a real animal, they will lose cutting performance. At the same time, being thicker than necissary will also reduce cutting performance. With all sorts of cutting tools (knives, razors, shears, etc.) optimized performance is at the two extremes of durability: either disposable or indestructible. For disposable blades like razors and box cutters, they need to be just durable enough to not fail when performing the task for which they are designed. That is why multipurpose blades, like a survival knife, are best optimized at the indestructible side of things. While specialized single-purpose blades, like razors, perform very well as disposable. Unless you are going to use the same broadhead for a turkey, a whitetail, a wildebeest, and everything in-between; broadheads are absolutely a specialized single-purpose blade. Thus, the thickness of the blade can be optimized to be just durable enough for the target animal.

  • @clearwateroutfitters
    @clearwateroutfitters Год назад

    Probably an unpopular stance but I don’t know if the weak blades are an end all be all here.
    In any case they should be strong enough to enter relatively unscathed leaving a big entrance hole (ideal). Even if one or two get bent/partially broke on a rib let’s say, you still have one to two blades cutting going forward. Yes this is undesirable but the trade off is you will get better penetration due to the blades giving.
    Haven’t shot anything with them so this I just theory but I’ve heard good things about em!
    Awesome video again John!

    • @LuskArcheryAdventures
      @LuskArcheryAdventures  Год назад +1

    Like a Rage Hypodermic, if you’re lucky enough to slide it between ribs it’ll probably do the job. Any blade contact with ribs is likely to be sheared off. Perhaps the worst part is the mangled condition after after rib contact won’t penetrate.

I was puzzled until I found 2 pieces of blade in the blood within the 1st few feet of blood trail. One had sheared off completely and about a half inch of the other had broken off. It’s unacceptable for a bone as small as a rib to do that type of damage to a broadhead. Since that day, I’ve shot one piece, single bevel, fixed blade and never had an issue. Silly???

Probably some bad luck involved, had the deer on camera 2 days later with a wound just behind the shoulder. Switched to a heavier setup, high FOC and a fixed blade, gave up cutting diameter and a large margin for error on bow setup and arrow tuning for cutting depth, broadhead durability, and reusability. No free lunches in arrow + broadhead selection, but the wound channel is 3d not 2d. That's lost on most hunters it seems.

      @@lukeonderko8696 I agree, but hyperbole is still illustrative. Toppling over in less than 50 yards is both impressive and the measure of success. Some animals go into shock so quickly they don't react until they fall over, but that's luck and not skill.
      Gut shots are a guaranteed kill, but you gotta leave them alone for a day and hope the coyotes don't pick it clean first.

I would like to see them put through the protocol also. Rear deploy, 3 blade 1 5/8", all stainless and made in the USA.

  • @jeffreykendrick3545
    @jeffreykendrick3545 2 месяца назад

    on the mega meat they intentionally designed the blades to be weaker intentionally in order to reduce the deflection of the bolt or arrow when or if you hit bone or rib on way in. so they made the blades replaceable they got a cool cheap little pack deal . if your wanting a more reusable broadhead try the dead meats there more robust.

    • @LuskArcheryAdventures
      @LuskArcheryAdventures  Месяц назад

      Yeah, that’s what company say when their blades bend or break too easily. I would not worry about deflection with a three blade Broadhead. It could happen, but it would be very rare. I would much rather have the blades retain their full cut size and structural integrity all the way through the animal.

      I think you’re missing the point of the testing. The point is just to provide comparative data points using consistent mediums. Then each viewer can decide the relevancy or importance of those data points. No insane. It’s imperative to hold up to steel plate or concrete. And those tests actually receive a very small percentage of the total score.

      Yes sir. I suppose I’ve just never understood the reason to choose mediums that will never actually apply to a broadhead’s use. Someone buying or not buying a broadhead based on its reaction to steel or concrete seems unfair to the mfg’s design and their intent. My skinning knife will be destroyed by concrete but work consistently on what it was intended to be used on. I do enjoy your reviews by the way!
