The couch arrived in two boxes four days early, which was great because we'd just moved into a new house and needed places to sit. My son and I put it together pretty quickly ruclips.net/user/postUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa . Another reviewer suggested inserting the seat into the side and I'm glad they did as the instructions weren't clear on that matter. It's incredibly light and slides easily across the wood floor, making it easy to move. It's firm, but comfortable. It will even be great to nap on. I got the gray, which definitely has strong blue undertones, but I'm okay with that.
While I'm not a hunter, just interested in archery, I stumbled across your channel and I must say I am impressed with the way you handle comments and criticism. It's nice that you try to minimize ignorance by teaching and clarifying.
That wood test was... suprising! It's just crazy how those little shaves of foil went through plywood, and cleanly! Also that they cut rather than broke through.
+Rishi G I think he's definitely crazy, but he doesn't let me use the hands much. Right now he's asleep, so I can use the hands to type this. Don't tell him I typed this, though.
mike simon because the poison wont go into the digestive track and only into the bloodstream, therefore safe to eat the meat as long as cooked, people have been using poisons for a long time now.
mike simon Like Aperix said , humans have been using arrow poisons for hundreds of thousands of years. Most famous is curare and these poisons are not orally active. You could literally dring a cup of it and as long as you have no injury that would allow it to pass into bloodstream you would be safe. Other significant group is Dart Frog poisons. One of the stronger ones is Batrachotoxin. I will now cite a scientific report. The oral potency of batrachotoxin is much lower; therefore, Indians can eat animals captured by their darts without of risk of intoxication. In additions, the small amount of poison used is metabolized and the metabolites are not poisonous; most importantly, cooking may also destroy the toxins, although not all toxins are heat labile.
Violent Potato I think they called the arrow toxic because the mark it leaves on the target looks like the symbol for biohazard.See here, you will see the vast similarities:www.google.co.uk/search?q=radioactive+sign&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&rlz=1I7PLXB_enGB597&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=-fJQVYXhCcG4sQGAwYHAAQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1159&bih=569#rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&tbm=isch&q=toxic+sign&imgrc=exvSZyaun8cRFM%253A%3BZCifuW5kc3jnjM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.returnofkings.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2014%252F05%252Ftoxic-sign.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.returnofkings.com%252F35881%252F4-signs-youre-in-a-poisonous-ltr%3B2000%3B1500
This thing is just brutal wow. Great testing! I loved that you even showed us the blades afterwards! And that you did a bunch of types of testing as well.
If you get it from Primal Gear (the manufacturer), tell them in the order comments that you saw the bow on TWANGnBANG, and they will include a free replacement string. My preference is for the 50# model- it's much more forgiving than the 55# model and nearly as fast. www.goprimalnow.com/Compact_Folding_Survival_Bow_p/cfsb-1-50.htm
the Parkour Channel well... not for sure. there are toxins used for hunting that gets destroyed by the cooking process. anyway, it was just a unserious remark on the title ^^
TWANGnBANG What is your'e view on mechanical hunting heads? I use a type that has three blades held in by a rubber o ring when the tip impacts the ring snaps releasing the blades. The shape of the blades pulls them out on impact making a much larger diameter cutting surface than these whilst having them tucked in makes for a much smaller flight diameter than these as well. Are you familiar with this type and if so what are your'e thoughts on it?
adznz11 I use them lots in slower bows. They tend to open in flight when shot out of faster crossbows. My favorite is the Trophy Ridge Hammerhead with a 2" cutting radius. I've taken many deer with it.
Ok that's interesting. I am a bow hunter and use a compound bow. I wonder if that makes the difference? I don't have troubles with that type with bow hunting.
Meat worm is now stuck in my head...I hope your happy with your self. On a side note: I wonder if we'll start seeing and influx of "Venison Spaghetti" dishes on Pinterest during hunting season...
Reminds me of the RazorRing broadheads I picked up many years ago. They wouldn't shoot to the same point of impact as my field points and it was a pain to adjust back and forth to get practice in between hunts. Eventually gave up on them and just used a good expanding broadhead. They claimed something like 'it punches a hole the same size as a 20 gauge slug!', it tore the hell out of my targets, that for sure.
Another positive about these broadheads is quartering away or too shots. These things never deflect in fact they turn right into mass. Check out the vid when they're shot at plywood. Pretty convincing
i am SOOOOO GETTING THESE!!!!!!!!!!! i have been coveting these since i first started seeing advertising for them. This is why i subscribed to your channel: you have real world, no b.s. field testing and data that helps American consumers make informed decisions on their purchases. Now i sure as Hades can't afford that tacticool AR crossbow, but now i know those broadheads look worth the investment. If you're hiring more field testers to do more products, HIT ME UP!!!!! Another kick ass video. KEEP EDUCATING THE FREE REPUBLIC!
meat worms, instant jerky strips... awesome review as always! We just started bow this year, ingesting all the tech changed since college when I last took it up is challenging to say the least. This is neat setup with wicked looks if nothing else a conversation starter at game stations:) TnJr
Anti-hunting people make me sigh. In my country deer are an introduced pest, and hunting them helps keep the numbers down and preserve the forests. This head seems to guarantee a fast kill, and any hunter that doesn't want a quick kill is a sadist not a hunter. I may be too soft-hearted to do the deed myself, but I hate people that look down upon those who do, especially when a lot of these people eat meat produced in factory farms.
Hure3000 I simply cannot fathom how people who do not hunt think they are experts on how animals die. A heart shot is no faster a kill than a double lung shot. A heart shot robs the brain of oxygen because of the drop in BP just like a double lung shot does. Suffocation happens at the cellular level, not at the systemic level like you're imagining it. I've seen deer run 100yds after a perfect heart shot, and I've seen them drop in their track from a double lung shot. As I've mentioned many times, I've seen ZERO difference in time to death between a broadhead or a bullet for the same shot.
Hure3000 You must not have taken anatomy or even basic biology....what do you think happens when the heart stops? Same thing but sometimes slower. Deer and yes even humans have taken serious hits to the heart and even both lungs and still make it pretty far.
Deus Vult. , Your dumber than a rock. And a hypocrite to boot. Most modern razorhead tips are SO sharp they cut cleanly & are hardly even felt. Its air hitting the cut that causes pain. YOU really need to watch more hunting videos. Many deer simply flinch (like when a horsefly bites em) & keep on eating until they bleed out internally & just lay down & "sleep out".
the biohazard shape of the blades also act like airfoils so it's not that they shoot higher than regular broadheads but rather that they do not drop as much and maintain a flatter trajectory. great review!
I'd like to chime in on the guy who made the comment. .... "I don't understand the use of a bow like that" "Draw a bow like a real man" I take offense to that comment. Well, I've bow hunted my entire life starting with a recurve and ending with a compound. Now, at 58 with a torn right bicep and other physical handicaps, I am unable to participate in a sport I've loved. Now, with a crossbow and laws that permit it's use, I can once again hunt with an arrow and bow. I can only assume you are a young man and healthy. But, please, don't say I'm not a real man because I can no longer draw a bow. I've raised 3 kids, brought them up in church, spent my life giving to others in need and serving and protecting as a police officer. I've done the best I could in this life. Shooting a bow does not define a man.
fuck yea rock on man. my dad is the same way, he used to love bow hunting with me but his body simply cannot with the physical demands it requires. but he didnt bitch out or lose the love. he swapped to crossbow so he can continue to hunt with me and hes just as amazing of a man (and shot mind you) regardless of the tool in his hand
I'm surprised people still bother coming to these videos just to whine and bitch on the morality of hunting. Half of their arguments consisting of "how would you like it if you were the one being shot." on top of just flat out death threats. Lol, which side are they on. Anyways, I enjoy your videos. You got yourself a new subscriber.
I can speak from personal experience, these heads are extremely deadly. They fly very consistently and no doubt create the most impressive wound I have seen a broadhead cut. One issue is they literally eat any arrow or crossbow block creating perfect clover cuts wherever they hit.
Your vids have inspired me to purchase a crossbow. ...thanks for the knowledge. ..awesome. .iv not long found your channel and have subscribed and got a bunch of my friends to also...we love it...London uk
I have just this season, started to use Toxic Broadheads and boy, what a killer! This afternoon, I hit my first deer, a five point, with the toxic. What a blood trail! The blood started pouring immediately and continued until the dropped at 60 yds. You would have been blind not to be able to trail this nice buck. Last year I used mechanicals, had good success but the Toxic by far had a better blood flow and wound opening. I'm a believer!
+Capt. Bob Roemer Have you tried medieval arrowheads? www.dudleycastle.org.uk/images/arrows02.jpg would love to know how ey performe! he wooden ne on the right is for birds).
Finally a head that can be used on any bow vertical or cross... They hold up to the extra KE, also one of the few heads I would ever consider using on small game such as Turkey but also doubled for large game such as moose. Wound channels that are considered to be Radical Core Decompression
FWIW - Here's a tip for arrow penetration, not the broadhead, but the shaft. Use bar soap, and coat the first third or so of your shaft. This gives enough slip to plow throw a gel block or large game!
+dlstanf2 ah thanks see im not to well versed in hunting since i live in this god forsaken hell hole known as california you know the the dumbest gun bow and knife laws in the history of forever
Pre-made Jerky strips... why not just a Swirl pattern of blade? like a Dairy Queen cone id think that shape would impart flight stability and give a ton of cutting edge. like 5-6 swirls down....
The fletchlings would bend and move according to the wind patterns, the metal (or whatever material) won't adjust to random changes. That's why the fletchlings aren't made of metal themselves. (Just an idea, I don't actually know)
I'm actually really impressed with the damage. When I saw it at the store, I thought it was probably just a gimmick or something. I would pick it up, but mechanical broadheads are still illegal in Washington (they're really pushing for them now at least,so I've heard.) Also, you've earned a sub; good defenses against people in the comments who have no understanding of the way the world works, as well as an enjoyable video. :D
yeah its really impressive what these broad heads do, I've used them on both my crossbow and my compound bow, I've harvested 10 deer with them so far, not a single one has actually gone further than 50 yards, makes for a nice quick and clean harvest.
Amazing! If you're hunting purely for food and supplies, like I do, you want to cause the least amount of pain to the animal and that's what a clean and quick kill does. This dear just fed my family; I am thankful to the animal and respectful to its sacrifice. Amazing arrow!!! I'm getting me some!
It seems every hunting video I go to has it's anti hunting advocates. It just goes to show how good some of these videos are. Even the haters are avid viewers.
Because they pay attention to what they believe is wrong. They don't close their eyes to it and address it. Not looking at it won't make a problem go away. And if the problem is that hunting is bad then it needs to be pointed out. Being a "viewer" has nothing to do with that, that only says "They pay attention to it". If you're against child armies, do you just ignore they're there or do you give it attention and try to get involved in a movement against them? Your whole point was not good at all.
are these the most humane arrowheads? i totally support hunting even though ive never been. very interested in going one day. people don't realise that its good for the eco system to take out that big buck that's preventing the others from breeding.
+Dave Farrell Well hunting with a crossbow is probably more humane than a normal bow. Same as a rifle is more humane than a shotgun. The toxic is similar to a hollow point round in a rifle it kills faster yes, however I'm not sure about humane.
the bevel is whats creating the force to open the blades, if the bevel was on the outside the blades would just contract rather than expand. so they have to be on the inside for that feature.
Interesting how people like to comment about our species somehow being lesser predators than big cats, for example. Surely they must realize that if we had the innate predatory functions such as long, hard claws and enormous protruding teeth things would be different for us. But evolution has instead given us sapience and with it the ability to improvise and design weapons, the ability to learn and teach the anatomy of our prey, ambush predation and such. Even our ancestors didn't hunt without the right tools; sharpened flint spearheads are still being unearthed to this day! I'd like to see these commenters go hunting for deer unarmed. Jump it, wrestle it into the ground and sink your little pearly whites into its neck until it ceases its struggle. See how it goes, then come back and tell me how efficient a hunter you are.
Actually I think you could probably touch the Toxic up edge-wise with a Tom Veff sharpener from Columbia River Knife & Tools. Go to about the 9:00 minute mark and Tom is sharpening a circular leather punch with an edge similar to the Toxic.
I have a real question here, not meaning to be offensive in any way. You just seem like a respectable guy and you've been answering questions a lot so I'm going to ask one as well. Is it normal to shoot deer so that they suffocate to death? Like, is that standard procedure or is it just with bows? Once again, not being offensive, I'm with you on this, I eat meat and I see nothing wrong with hunting, just asking.
You want a high probability shot, and that's the lungs. They are actually quite vascularized, and so a shot through the lungs robs the brain of blood and robs the blood of oxygen. It's not suffocation how most would imagine it.
SlowSlowSloth The death of the animal with a lung shot occurs as the blood is escaping the through one of the two places where all blood passes on It's way to the rest of the body, effectively preventing any oxygenated blood from going back to the heart and thus leads to massive organ failiure in moments, killing the animal just as quickly as if you had cut It's head off.
with a bow the main killing method is blood loss. if you cut a "main vain" even though their still is enough blood to pump, and the heat is still working... it will pump it on the ground vs to the brain. a rifle kills with blood loss, but also shock. the shock USUALLY kills quicker than a bow... but both methods can be instant, or take days... depending on where you hit. i hate hunting shows because they shoot it... then wait 3 hours before tracking it. it could be suffering for 3 hours possibly then! im a fan of the coup de graw shot..or if im close enough a knife to the wind pipe. i usually aim for the neck for a finishing shot...doesnt rune meat, kills in under 5 seconds from MASSIVE blood loss.
+Sori Fierce I said "...the faster the deer dies *and* the less tracking you'll have to do." That "and" is important in English. Sorry if it's not your first language.
Love my Toxic's literally have changed the broadhead game. It sucks there's not more videos on here showing they can expire a animal very quickly and keep it humane as possible. BTW I like that vertical crossbow never seen one like that before. Keep up the great videos!
Pretty interesting that you are typing this from a computer/smartphone that was 99% made with child labor/exploited/underpaid workers, etc etc. Or wearing clothes made by Chinese children who work 16 hours a day among rats and disease. But still are enough of a hypocrite to keep using them. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?! More to the point, why are you even watching this if its clearly not up your alley? Just to come and spread your 100% transparent hypocrisy/bullshit? Way to go bud, perhaps you need to take a look at yourself before you have a tantrum again. Myself, and most other people here are just gonna read your bullshit and laugh it off as one other ignorant person in the world, but you gotta wake up to that every single day of your life, you gotta go and talk to people and face the world being such an ignorant and small minded person, that must be tough, please do not have kids. ALSO, I take it from your comment that you are against hunting and such, probably a veg/vegan (if not, shit, here we go with the hypocrisy again), which is cool, I'd never go hunting too, nor promote it. I'm into archery and kind of want to get a crossbow, that's why I'm watching. But even so, I'm pretty sure you like to just live your life in peace and carry on with your beliefs (however wrong they may be) without being bothered by someone for no apparent reason,I get it, you still haven't had the time to pick up a dictionary (doubt you have one though) and look up the meaning of the word HYPOCRITE, you are too busy saving the kids in china and replanting the Brazilian rain forest by yourself. Check yourself, you give vegans, vegetarians and everything in between a bad name.
bla bla bla bla such a supreme compilation of absolute inarticulate garbage, big mouth, no brains, ignorant racist and completely devoid of common sense, lost forever in dreamworlds that do not promote any positive thinking... arrivederci indesiderabile
do the broad heads come w/ carbon arrows or do you buy them separate? at bass pro, the toxic are $40 but there are only 3 in one pack and I use a bow but i will get my crossbow soon
You have to buy arrows to match the draw length and weight of your specific bow. They will be cut to your length with a spine that is not too soft or too stiff. So, no broadheads come with arrows since there isn't one kind of arrow that works for every bow.
oh thank you, have a great summer, also good work on your videos, I hope in the future, they'll have a modern repeating crossbow, that would be awesome w/ both the field tip and the toxic
AMS Aaron M Simpson Get a degree in mechanical engineering, and you could possibly design it yourself and make millions, at least until the governments impose "regulations."
I have the same arrowheads and target you used, but I haven't personally taken down an animal with one yet. My father's friend sent us a picture of a deer he got with one of these... they, DESTROY.
@KJB The meat/animal byproducts we consume are not hunted, they are factory farmed. Different things entirely. Though, I'm not against hunting at all, just factory farming.
This stuff has always interested me so subbed. Ignore the negative lot that have their heads up their rears. They're the same type who'll complain about hunting but happily purchase meet from a slaughterhouse, oblivious of conditions animals go through there. Will sit in front of their computers and play video games that simulate hunting but in turn cast negative and hypocritical opinions towards those who actually do it in life. Great videos!
I love how we can talk about the brutal slaughter of animals with smiles on our faces, but we freak out when the topic turns from deer to humans. I'm not with PETA, mind you, I hunt just the same, I just, ya know, dont smile when I think about the fact that I'm brutally and painfully robbing a deer / elk / [last year] bear of it's life.
If you're going to eat, something has to die. If you're going to eat meat, an animal must die. Why not do it as efficiently as possible? Why is it bad to find improvements to the process interesting? Oh, and I have no problems making a very large distinction between the death of an animal and the death of a human being. Anyone who places both on equal footing and hunts is either a very sad hunter or a very sad human being.
bow hunting is extremelt a deer and it will look around and continue grazing until it feels sleepy and and lays down and dies PAINLESSLY. The blades severs the arteries and heart so the animal bleeds out extremely fast is the deer runs it'll get maybe 2 hopes before it dies that makes the blood pump fast so it dies even faster. Bow hunting is legitimately one of the most human ways to kill an animal. as far as your animal to human thing. Human beings are omnivores, to we are designed to live on a diet of vegetation AND meat. these animals are killed for food and eco balance. People being killed is murder it serves zero purpose unless it is self defense. If you are killing a animal painfully you are a terrible shot and you need to devote a lot more time to target practice and learning where to shoot and with what.
I used this arrow on a deer 2 weekends ago, I also used a normal fixed blade arrow same day. I’ll never use this arrow again, same shot on 2 different deer, and this arrow killed the deer significantly slower. The fixed blade killed within 20 seconds and the deer went 20 yards. This blade took at least 5 minutes but I will say the deer still only went 35 yards.
ofc its funny. You feel its more important not having to track, than the animal dying fast. If the reverse was the case, you would have said so, but you didn't even mention it It shows alittle of how you think and thats just hilarious.
staslig I said "...the faster the deer is going to die AND the less tracking your going to have to do." They are two different reasons, and they are both important. Neither of them are funny.
staslig Perhaps you would prefer the animal to have a slower death at which point the animal may flee long enough for its body to not be found. This would result in the creature dying in vain, unless of course it was damaging its ecosystem in someway (i.e, causing competition for resources, disease, etc.)
dude, that's such an asshole thing to do. It's one thing to shoot it in the head, but to shoot it in the lungs and have it suffer it seems just kind of in humane. I might be wrong so if i am please correct me
+ben martin you are a hunter? really? You shoot for the head with a bow? You sir could give Robin hood a run for his money. Also, you realize that out of the 4 months that deer are in season, firearms are only legal for a week or two in most states.
The point of hunting is to Kill the animal with the Least Amount of Suffering. The less suffering, the more Humane for the animal, and the better the meat will taste due to less Stress Hormones in the blood and meat. I think this arrow head would do very well in making an animal bleed very very quickly.. though we need more Data from a Field Test. So TWANGnBANG, How did this arrow perform on your hunt? =^_^=
BlankPicketSign I didn't have any deer I wanted to shoot show up in front of me during archery season this year. I've read lots of great field reports about this broadhead nonetheless.
I was wondering about these broadheads when I saw them. They were questionable. But to every question I had in mind you ve answer all of them in great detail in this upload. Big thanks. I ve put in an order for these bad boys, and also both my brother and dad too, after they saw your vid. Thanks guys
crossbows are guns and should not be allowed in archery season. I am a longbow archer since 1955, my kill distance is 20 yards or less. So I could never compete with that rifle that shoots arrows. So Crossbow should be used during fire arm season.
Gary Elliott It's great that you hunt with a longbow, but others should not be limited by your choice. Also, how in the world are you competing against other hunters based upon the distance you can shoot unless they're sitting right next to you taking the same shot? :) The fastest production crossbow shoots an arrow at 425fps. A 308 Winchester is pushing 2800fps. A 30-30 is right around 2200fps. Even the fastest production crossbow is much, much closer in performance to your stick bow than the slowest hunting rifles.
TWANGnBANG All you have to do is watch who hunts with what weapon. Any one who hunts with rifle or a cross bow can learn these weapons in ten minutes. true archery requires hundreds of hours of training and practice. When dedication to a sport is not required it attracts a different kind of person. When you can kill at 50 yards or more you do not have to worry about what you eat, drink or wear. They are noisy and not considerate of the traditional archer who has been in the tree or a blind 3 hours before sunrise in order to not be heard or seen. I will fight to defend your right to hunt any way you want, but I think a traditional season should be sacred. God bless us all.
Gary Elliott Right now, any serious hunter should be happy with anything that attracts new hunters. Period. Crossbows are a great way to do that for the very reason that bothers you about them. Hunting seasons aren't rewards for becoming an expert archer or muzzleloader hunter or whatever- they are nothing more than state regulated access to game that everyone has a right to harvest. Even with crossbow inclusion, the number of hunter you are sharing the woods with today is less than 20 years ago. We need to encourage and accept new hunters, not criticize them and tell them they don't belong in our woods..
if you kill the animal with a shot to the lungs you're a terrible hunter. brain or heart, everything else is uselessly cruel. if you cant get a straight shot to heart or head, dont shoot.
+DoctorBahnausSee This is the kind of post you get from someone who has never hunted. Arrow to the brain??? Heart shot less "cruel" than a double lung shot??? You have no idea how bad your advice is because you've never seen the results of any of it.
+DoctorBahnausSee You keep liking your own posts with another account. Didn't you know that we can see that? :) Again, you're talking about stuff you don't really know. I've shot deer in the heart and in the lungs with bullets and blades, and there is zero difference in time to death. Sometimes they DRT, and sometimes they run until their brains run out of O2. That happens just as fast whether the O2 isn't being pumped (heart shot) or isn't being introduced to the blood (lung shot). Recommending head shots of any kind is just irresponsible. There are very limited circumstances under which a hunter should attempt a head shot, and it has nothing to do with how good of a shot you are. A deer's head is the fastest moving part of their body, and they are capable of moving it between the time your brain has fired the motor neurons in your trigger finger and when the bullet arrives at the deer. I *have* seen the horror of botched head shots, and it is a horrible way to die.
yes. there is nothing more important for me than to have likes on my random comments, or to impress or refute random persons. you are the single most important person in my life at the moment and i cant think about anything else but you. i totaly want to be better at this argument.
+TWANGnBANG Dears cant dodge bullets mate. every way to die is horrible way to die. shoot a moving target (ballistics gell) or hit them in the head (instant death) lungs just suffocate the dear (very painfull)
I've shot more animals with a standard bow than with all other weapons combined. Hunting skill is about getting in range of an animal, not marksmanship.
TWANGnBANG i have to respectfully disagree with crossbows you can hold it set it on your lap and wait for a while with bows you have to time it out and unless your hulk you will get tired of holding it after a while and bows you cant have a scope all you get is a circle with three dots
Caleb Robben If you can't hold back a compound bow indefinitely, you're too out of shape to be hunting. Seriously, it's 10% of the draw weight. Again, I've killed more animals that way than all other ways combined. However, I'm willing to bet you haven't spent much time hunting with a crossbow to know.
Gel isn't a good medium for testing broadhead penetration. There is no doubt the arrow would've passed completely through even a very large deer. Thanks for watching!
i knew someone who shot a deer that was facing him, he obviously had a very powerful bow but it went in at the shoulder and came out its ass, this was from an unmodified head
Here in Norway it's illegal to shoot an animal so it dies in pain, and you are required by law to have a one shot instant kill hit. You won't even get a hunting permit unless you pass several tests, proving that you have the patience and skill required for such a shot.
TWANGnBANG There is such a thing if you blow its brains out or go straight through the heart. On instinct they say a moose can still run up to 100 meters after a perfect shot, but it's pretty close to being instantly robbed of life.
rogantu No, shooting the heart does not result in instant death, and head shots are irresponsible because of the massive chance of wounding- there is no way Norwegian hunters are being taught to take head shots. You're last line is the reality- animals do NOT die instantly but most often run even when heart shot. It's still only seconds to death, but animals can run a very far distance before dying.
TWANGnBANG Thanks for the info about headshots being a no-no. I appreciate the lesson. I was not entirely correct, so maybe my teacher didn't tell the straight truth.
If you want to sharpen those cutting edges, I would take them off and use the triangular rods of the Spyderco Sharpmaker on them. I think you'll find they come up a real treat.
Ive never bow hunted, but I deer hunt all the time, killed one last weekend, but I use a simple 30-30 Remington. I also have a .308 and Russian SKS, but I enjoy the 30-30 deer hunting here. I normally use a 20 foot tree stand. I have salt licks placed 100, 200 & 300 yards from stand.
Whether it is curved or straight you are still punching 5" of blade through the air while the arrow is in flight increasing drag and drop. That is the advantage of expandables.
There is still a difference in leverage between 5" of blade curled within a 1" diameter vs. sticking straight out from the shaft. The closer the blades stay to the shaft, the less front steer you're going to get. Thanks for watching!
It's not an disadvantage but rather a big advantage since the blades are not that sharp. The reason for this is because it works like a sharks teeths, it cuts but also ripping up the flash and the organs more. This only works perfectly if you have a sharp arrow end and a good mount of force as you get from the Crossbow..
The couch arrived in two boxes four days early, which was great because we'd just moved into a new house and needed places to sit. My son and I put it together pretty quickly ruclips.net/user/postUgkxitRzxya-XugamYgLwa_2G1gxPg4MCJHa . Another reviewer suggested inserting the seat into the side and I'm glad they did as the instructions weren't clear on that matter. It's incredibly light and slides easily across the wood floor, making it easy to move. It's firm, but comfortable. It will even be great to nap on. I got the gray, which definitely has strong blue undertones, but I'm okay with that.
While I'm not a hunter, just interested in archery, I stumbled across your channel and I must say I am impressed with the way you handle comments and criticism. It's nice that you try to minimize ignorance by teaching and clarifying.
***** Thanks, Michael!
When the deer start hunting him because his humans are destroying the planet let's hope they do it with something more humane.
That wood test was... suprising! It's just crazy how those little shaves of foil went through plywood, and cleanly! Also that they cut rather than broke through.
Great video, and as a father of 3 hunters I really appreciate your info, and your testing to help our budget stretch further.
DJ Lawrence Glad to help!
Does anyone else think he's crazy, because at the beginning he was happily talking about robbing a deer's brain of oxygen!
+Rishi G I think he's definitely crazy, but he doesn't let me use the hands much. Right now he's asleep, so I can use the hands to type this. Don't tell him I typed this, though.
Lol
+Rishi G No, since he's just being to the point in a video for bow hunters.
What people look for when hunting dear is the quickest way of killing it so it doesn't die un-humanely
What people look for when hunting dear is the quickest way of killing it so it doesn't die un-humanely
i expected it to be poisonous or some shit
How will you eat the deer then ?
mike simon because the poison wont go into the digestive track and only into the bloodstream, therefore safe to eat the meat as long as cooked, people have been using poisons for a long time now.
mike simon Like Aperix said , humans have been using arrow poisons for hundreds of thousands of years. Most famous is curare and these poisons are not orally active. You could literally dring a cup of it and as long as you have no injury that would allow it to pass into bloodstream you would be safe. Other significant group is Dart Frog poisons. One of the stronger ones is Batrachotoxin. I will now cite a scientific report. The oral potency of batrachotoxin is much lower; therefore, Indians can eat animals captured by their darts without of risk of intoxication. In additions, the small amount of poison used is metabolized and the metabolites are not poisonous; most importantly, cooking may also destroy the toxins, although not all toxins are heat labile.
Violent Potato I think they called the arrow toxic because the mark it leaves on the target looks like the symbol for biohazard.See here, you will see the vast similarities:www.google.co.uk/search?q=radioactive+sign&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&rlz=1I7PLXB_enGB597&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=-fJQVYXhCcG4sQGAwYHAAQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1159&bih=569#rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:IE-Address&tbm=isch&q=toxic+sign&imgrc=exvSZyaun8cRFM%253A%3BZCifuW5kc3jnjM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.returnofkings.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2014%252F05%252Ftoxic-sign.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.returnofkings.com%252F35881%252F4-signs-youre-in-a-poisonous-ltr%3B2000%3B1500
i know i know, but the name just sounds like it's gonna be poisoned
This thing is just brutal wow. Great testing! I loved that you even showed us the blades afterwards! And that you did a bunch of types of testing as well.
I call it...THE BLENDER!
Thanks for your quick response. I'm thinking about getting that bow.
If you get it from Primal Gear (the manufacturer), tell them in the order comments that you saw the bow on TWANGnBANG, and they will include a free replacement string. My preference is for the 50# model- it's much more forgiving than the 55# model and nearly as fast.

Jeff4975 me 2
i was a bit disappointed that it wasn't actually toxic, but then.... dem cuts!!
Well.... That would be meat I wouldn't want to eat... Plus it defeats the purpose of hunting at that point
the Parkour Channel well... not for sure. there are toxins used for hunting that gets destroyed by the cooking process.
anyway, it was just a unserious remark on the title ^^
+Francesco Favro I understood it was an unserious remark.... But I did not know about the toxins being destroyed. Thanks for informing me!
It actually does look like something you would dip into poison beforehand, amirite?
It is named "Toxic" because of the pattern it leaves when it hits the target, those three circles together are the universal symbol of toxicity
That's a nasty looking arrow.
...and it makes a nasty looking wound to match. It's not quite the diameter I'd like it to be, but it probably wouldn't fly right if it were bigger.
TWANGnBANG What is your'e view on mechanical hunting heads? I use a type that has three blades held in by a rubber o ring when the tip impacts the ring snaps releasing the blades. The shape of the blades pulls them out on impact making a much larger diameter cutting surface than these whilst having them tucked in makes for a much smaller flight diameter than these as well. Are you familiar with this type and if so what are your'e thoughts on it?
adznz11 I use them lots in slower bows. They tend to open in flight when shot out of faster crossbows. My favorite is the Trophy Ridge Hammerhead with a 2" cutting radius. I've taken many deer with it.
Ok that's interesting. I am a bow hunter and use a compound bow. I wonder if that makes the difference? I don't have troubles with that type with bow hunting.
It's the last thing you'll see.
To me that looks more like a bio-hazard symbol than clover leaves. Thanks for bringing this product to our attention and keep up the good work.
I grew up surrounded by Irish, so clover is what came immediately to mind. :)
“Toxic”
Same thing came to mind when i saw the holes.
Meat worm is now stuck in my head...I hope your happy with your self.
On a side note: I wonder if we'll start seeing and influx of "Venison Spaghetti" dishes on Pinterest during hunting season...
Deerghetti. Perfect xD
lol
His exit is so polite and nice I really appreciate it. Thanks twang 'n bang!
Reminds me of the RazorRing broadheads I picked up many years ago. They wouldn't shoot to the same point of impact as my field points and it was a pain to adjust back and forth to get practice in between hunts. Eventually gave up on them and just used a good expanding broadhead. They claimed something like 'it punches a hole the same size as a 20 gauge slug!', it tore the hell out of my targets, that for sure.
It's called toxic Bc the head of the arrow is a bio symbol
+Dakota Marzouca thanks captain obvious
+Frank De Jong lmao well some people might not know
Thanks! I was wondering why it was called toxic. That's awesome
+Dakota Marzouca in sure there's a few vegetarians on here that didn't pick up on that.
+Dakota Marzouca NO SHIT Sherlock
Oh , okay, now I know why it's called TOXIC. The wound looks like that biohazard symbol! Cool! (yes, I'm slow on the uptake. so sue me)
SongDog7 looks cool use them
Another positive about these broadheads is quartering away or too shots. These things never deflect in fact they turn right into mass. Check out the vid when they're shot at plywood. Pretty convincing
twang and bang don't let negative comments get you down your videos are awesome and fun to watch, i took up archery because of this channel
i am SOOOOO GETTING THESE!!!!!!!!!!! i have been coveting these since i first started seeing advertising for them.
This is why i subscribed to your channel: you have real world, no b.s. field testing and data that helps American consumers make informed decisions on their purchases.
Now i sure as Hades can't afford that tacticool AR crossbow, but now i know those broadheads look worth the investment.
If you're hiring more field testers to do more products, HIT ME UP!!!!!
Another kick ass video.
KEEP EDUCATING THE FREE REPUBLIC!
meat worms, instant jerky strips... awesome review as always! We just started bow this year, ingesting all the tech changed since college when I last took it up is challenging to say the least. This is neat setup with wicked looks if nothing else a conversation starter at game stations:) TnJr
Anti-hunting people make me sigh. In my country deer are an introduced pest, and hunting them helps keep the numbers down and preserve the forests. This head seems to guarantee a fast kill, and any hunter that doesn't want a quick kill is a sadist not a hunter. I may be too soft-hearted to do the deed myself, but I hate people that look down upon those who do, especially when a lot of these people eat meat produced in factory farms.
Violet_Shift Excellent post!
Hure3000 I simply cannot fathom how people who do not hunt think they are experts on how animals die. A heart shot is no faster a kill than a double lung shot. A heart shot robs the brain of oxygen because of the drop in BP just like a double lung shot does. Suffocation happens at the cellular level, not at the systemic level like you're imagining it. I've seen deer run 100yds after a perfect heart shot, and I've seen them drop in their track from a double lung shot. As I've mentioned many times, I've seen ZERO difference in time to death between a broadhead or a bullet for the same shot.
Hure3000 You must not have taken anatomy or even basic biology....what do you think happens when the heart stops? Same thing but sometimes slower. Deer and yes even humans have taken serious hits to the heart and even both lungs and still make it pretty far.
Deus Vult. , Your dumber than a rock. And a hypocrite to boot. Most modern razorhead tips are SO sharp they cut cleanly & are hardly even felt. Its air hitting the cut that causes pain. YOU really need to watch more hunting videos. Many deer simply flinch (like when a horsefly bites em) & keep on eating until they bleed out internally & just lay down & "sleep out".
@Deus Vult. ur a fuccin idiot get da fucc outta hea u beta male piece of shit
PETA really had a field day in the comment section here. Great video, by the way.
the biohazard shape of the blades also act like airfoils so it's not that they shoot higher than regular broadheads but rather that they do not drop as much and maintain a flatter trajectory. great review!
Ok, seriously. Six years later, most channels still are not on the quality standar you were on in 2013. Crazy. Props!
I'd like to chime in on the guy who made the comment. .... "I don't understand the use of a bow like that" "Draw a bow like a real man" I take offense to that comment. Well, I've bow hunted my entire life starting with a recurve and ending with a compound. Now, at 58 with a torn right bicep and other physical handicaps, I am unable to participate in a sport I've loved. Now, with a crossbow and laws that permit it's use, I can once again hunt with an arrow and bow. I can only assume you are a young man and healthy. But, please, don't say I'm not a real man because I can no longer draw a bow. I've raised 3 kids, brought them up in church, spent my life giving to others in need and serving and protecting as a police officer. I've done the best I could in this life. Shooting a bow does not define a man.
rjtaler amen
fuck yea rock on man. my dad is the same way, he used to love bow hunting with me but his body simply cannot with the physical demands it requires. but he didnt bitch out or lose the love. he swapped to crossbow so he can continue to hunt with me and hes just as amazing of a man (and shot mind you) regardless of the tool in his hand
Words of wisdom
rjtaler I have a bad shoulder injury from work I can't pull a compond bow any more
Bravo
replace the gel with gummy and u have a way to make gummyworms with a crossbow!Awesome!
d4v3tm Nice!!
I'm surprised people still bother coming to these videos just to whine and bitch on the morality of hunting. Half of their arguments consisting of "how would you like it if you were the one being shot." on top of just flat out death threats. Lol, which side are they on. Anyways, I enjoy your videos. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Giovanni Roman Thanks for sticking around!
I'm glad I could see the arrow heads he was talking about at the beginning of the video, made it very easy to see what he was talking about....
I can speak from personal experience, these heads are extremely deadly. They fly very consistently and no doubt create the most impressive wound I have seen a broadhead cut. One issue is they literally eat any arrow or crossbow block creating perfect clover cuts wherever they hit.
Your vids have inspired me to purchase a crossbow. ...thanks for the knowledge. ..awesome. .iv not long found your channel and have subscribed and got a bunch of my friends to also...we love it...London uk
Jason English Fantastic!
I have just this season, started to use Toxic Broadheads and boy, what a killer! This afternoon, I hit my first deer, a five point, with the toxic. What a blood trail! The blood started pouring immediately and continued until the dropped at 60 yds. You would have been blind not to be able to trail this nice buck. Last year I used mechanicals, had good success but the Toxic by far had a better blood flow and wound opening. I'm a believer!
+Capt. Bob Roemer
Have you tried medieval arrowheads?
www.dudleycastle.org.uk/images/arrows02.jpg
would love to know how ey performe! he wooden ne on the right is for birds).
Oooooooo. I am going to get some of these!!!! Good damage and I wont cut the crap out of my fingrr when I change blades
Finally a head that can be used on any bow vertical or cross... They hold up to the extra KE, also one of the few heads I would ever consider using on small game such as Turkey but also doubled for large game such as moose. Wound channels that are considered to be Radical Core Decompression
FWIW -
Here's a tip for arrow penetration, not the broadhead, but the shaft.
Use bar soap, and coat the first third or so of your shaft. This gives enough slip to plow throw a gel block or large game!
would it alter the taste of the meat near the wound?
+TheMcluvinMe trophy shooting, no. most shot placement is through organs. usually the loins & hams are for meat.
+dlstanf2 ah thanks see im not to well versed in hunting since i live in this god forsaken hell hole known as california you know the the dumbest gun bow and knife laws in the history of forever
That is just outstanding...
Pre-made Jerky strips... why not just a Swirl pattern of blade? like a Dairy Queen cone id think that shape would impart flight stability and give a ton of cutting edge. like 5-6 swirls down....
I think that has issues with aerodynamics, because it would cause the arrow to rotate and slow it down too quickly
Keenan Kok-Carlson if your fletchings are in a helical pattern, the arrow will rotate too...
The fletchlings would bend and move according to the wind patterns, the metal (or whatever material) won't adjust to random changes. That's why the fletchlings aren't made of metal themselves. (Just an idea, I don't actually know)
I'm actually really impressed with the damage. When I saw it at the store, I thought it was probably just a gimmick or something. I would pick it up, but mechanical broadheads are still illegal in Washington (they're really pushing for them now at least,so I've heard.) Also, you've earned a sub; good defenses against people in the comments who have no understanding of the way the world works, as well as an enjoyable video. :D
TeamShoelace Thanks for sticking around, and good luck on mechanicals. I have taken many deer with them.
yeah its really impressive what these broad heads do, I've used them on both my crossbow and my compound bow, I've harvested 10 deer with them so far, not a single one has actually gone further than 50 yards, makes for a nice quick and clean harvest.
I was looking at these this morning while at APA Archery. I just about bought them but needed small game BH's instead.
Great video review!! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Very beautiful, well presented and very very educational.
Amazing! If you're hunting purely for food and supplies, like I do, you want to cause the least amount of pain to the animal and that's what a clean and quick kill does. This dear just fed my family; I am thankful to the animal and respectful to its sacrifice. Amazing arrow!!! I'm getting me some!
Thats a nasty wound...
It seems every hunting video I go to has it's anti hunting advocates. It just goes to show how good some of these videos are. Even the haters are avid viewers.
Mike Hunter That's hilarious! I'm going to steal that line. :)
Because they pay attention to what they believe is wrong. They don't close their eyes to it and address it.
Not looking at it won't make a problem go away.
And if the problem is that hunting is bad then it needs to be pointed out.
Being a "viewer" has nothing to do with that, that only says "They pay attention to it".
If you're against child armies, do you just ignore they're there or do you give it attention and try to get involved in a movement against them?
Your whole point was not good at all.
Mike Hunter amen their what i call libtards lol
Darcy Garrow *they're
God damn it. And "libtards" is such an edgy name for "people with different moral views than me".
I really hate people who are anti hunters. They just need to leave us alone. Thanks for the views anti hunters. Lol.
Sweet gear. Aldo very clean & thorough presentation
looks very cool, and very expensive. Cool video, I really like your format and presentation for your videos. Very nice work, thank you sir.
Thanks so much!
Three leaf clover, eh? Gee, for some reason... some crazy reason... I thought it looked like a toxic warning sign! Silly old me...
Gee, for some reason... some crazy reason... the manufacturers printed a three leaf clover over the image of the blades on the package.
+TWANGnBANG Gee, for some reason... some crazy reason... I like your channel and am confused as to why they would do that.
are these the most humane arrowheads? i totally support hunting even though ive never been. very interested in going one day. people don't realise that its good for the eco system to take out that big buck that's preventing the others from breeding.
+Dave Farrell bollocks, people will believe anything
+Dave Farrell Well hunting with a crossbow is probably more humane than a normal bow. Same as a rifle is more humane than a shotgun. The toxic is similar to a hollow point round in a rifle it kills faster yes, however I'm not sure about humane.
exactly
+Dave Farrell Compared to factory farming this is one of the most humane.
Oh shut the fuck up with the stupid "humane" bullshit, it's way more humane than what the animals go through that end up in grocery stores.
hmm i wonder if hes ever fooled around with that latex rubber cube thing O_O
I tried a silicone rubber cylinder .. does that count
TheLeahacer xD yeah :D
Why wouldnt he?
The clover pattern is a radioactive symbol, hence the name Toxic.
the bevel is whats creating the force to open the blades, if the bevel was on the outside the blades would just contract rather than expand. so they have to be on the inside for that feature.
That crossbow looks evil (in a good way)
Interesting how people like to comment about our species somehow being lesser predators than big cats, for example. Surely they must realize that if we had the innate predatory functions such as long, hard claws and enormous protruding teeth things would be different for us. But evolution has instead given us sapience and with it the ability to improvise and design weapons, the ability to learn and teach the anatomy of our prey, ambush predation and such. Even our ancestors didn't hunt without the right tools; sharpened flint spearheads are still being unearthed to this day!
I'd like to see these commenters go hunting for deer unarmed. Jump it, wrestle it into the ground and sink your little pearly whites into its neck until it ceases its struggle. See how it goes, then come back and tell me how efficient a hunter you are.
I just realised that the broad head looks like a bio hazard sign
It's meant to ?!!!!!!
Holy shit really? I thought it was called toxic because of Hillary.
Actually I think you could probably touch the Toxic up edge-wise with a Tom Veff sharpener from Columbia River Knife & Tools. Go to about the 9:00 minute mark and Tom is sharpening a circular leather punch with an edge similar to the Toxic.
Awesome video. Takes a lot of energy to drive this cutter. Im shooting 106# of ke into a ke scale and im thinking about trying these out.
I have a real question here, not meaning to be offensive in any way. You just seem like a respectable guy and you've been answering questions a lot so I'm going to ask one as well.
Is it normal to shoot deer so that they suffocate to death? Like, is that standard procedure or is it just with bows?
Once again, not being offensive, I'm with you on this, I eat meat and I see nothing wrong with hunting, just asking.
You want a high probability shot, and that's the lungs. They are actually quite vascularized, and so a shot through the lungs robs the brain of blood and robs the blood of oxygen. It's not suffocation how most would imagine it.
TWANGnBANG Ah, I see.
Thanks for the answer.
SlowSlowSloth The death of the animal with a lung shot occurs as the blood is escaping the through one of the two places where all blood passes on It's way to the rest of the body, effectively preventing any oxygenated blood from going back to the heart and thus leads to massive organ failiure in moments, killing the animal just as quickly as if you had cut It's head off.
with a bow the main killing method is blood loss. if you cut a "main vain" even though their still is enough blood to pump, and the heat is still working... it will pump it on the ground vs to the brain.
a rifle kills with blood loss, but also shock. the shock USUALLY kills quicker than a bow... but both methods can be instant, or take days... depending on where you hit.
i hate hunting shows because they shoot it... then wait 3 hours before tracking it. it could be suffering for 3 hours possibly then! im a fan of the coup de graw shot..or if im close enough a knife to the wind pipe. i usually aim for the neck for a finishing shot...doesnt rune meat, kills in under 5 seconds from MASSIVE blood loss.
Arrows kill by hemorrhage. Bullets by shock.
Your smile scares me
+skillz Have you looked at your profile pic lately?
+TWANGnBANG xD
+skillz BURNNNN BABY!!
I love how you're like... 'the faster the deer dies, the less tracking you have to do' instead of saying, less suffering for the deer... :I
+Sori Fierce I said both if you had listened.
TWANGnBANG I just rewatched the beginning. Perhaps somewhere later in the video that I missed?
+Sori Fierce I said "...the faster the deer dies *and* the less tracking you'll have to do." That "and" is important in English. Sorry if it's not your first language.
TWANGnBANG I have listened again, and I hear this part now.
+Sori Fierce - I'm all for archery-based hunting instead of the gun nuts shattering all peace & quiet for at least a mile in every direction.
Love my Toxic's literally have changed the broadhead game. It sucks there's not more videos on here showing they can expire a animal very quickly and keep it humane as possible. BTW I like that vertical crossbow never seen one like that before. Keep up the great videos!
I didn't feel comfortable at all when you were opening the gelatin like that XD
Oh my good Lord. What a broadhead. (jaw dropping)
shot deer in southern ohio only went 40 yards great broadhead
This arrow makes an archer a death machine.
I had to have a 12 pack of these broadheads I swear by them they’ll get the job done sweet video
Getting close close to 200k congrats!!
+Andrew Gala Thanks! It will happen sometime in the next few hours.
very "humane" indeed... how would your smile look like with one of these arrowheads in your lungs?
Pretty interesting that you are typing this from a computer/smartphone that was 99% made with child labor/exploited/underpaid workers, etc etc. Or wearing clothes made by Chinese children who work 16 hours a day among rats and disease.
But still are enough of a hypocrite to keep using them. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?!
More to the point, why are you even watching this if its clearly not up your alley? Just to come and spread your 100% transparent hypocrisy/bullshit? Way to go bud, perhaps you need to take a look at yourself before you have a tantrum again. Myself, and most other people here are just gonna read your bullshit and laugh it off as one other ignorant person in the world, but you gotta wake up to that every single day of your life, you gotta go and talk to people and face the world being such an ignorant and small minded person, that must be tough, please do not have kids.
ALSO, I take it from your comment that you are against hunting and such, probably a veg/vegan (if not, shit, here we go with the hypocrisy again), which is cool, I'd never go hunting too, nor promote it. I'm into archery and kind of want to get a crossbow, that's why I'm watching. But even so, I'm pretty sure you like to just live your life in peace and carry on with your beliefs (however wrong they may be) without being bothered by someone for no apparent reason,I get it, you still haven't had the time to pick up a dictionary (doubt you have one though) and look up the meaning of the word HYPOCRITE, you are too busy saving the kids in china and replanting the Brazilian rain forest by yourself.
Check yourself, you give vegans, vegetarians and everything in between a bad name.
bla bla bla bla such a supreme compilation of absolute inarticulate garbage, big mouth, no brains, ignorant racist and completely devoid of common sense, lost forever in dreamworlds that do not promote any positive thinking... arrivederci indesiderabile
Sure bud, dont let the door hit you on the way out.
I wouldn't know. see, I'm human and it would be strange if someone killed me with these just for my meat.
After this response of yours, i gotta say that you are exactly the piece of shit your video makes you to look like.
i wanna eat some barbecued meat worms :-)
do the broad heads come w/ carbon arrows or do you buy them separate? at bass pro, the toxic are $40 but there are only 3 in one pack and I use a bow but i will get my crossbow soon
You have to buy arrows to match the draw length and weight of your specific bow. They will be cut to your length with a spine that is not too soft or too stiff. So, no broadheads come with arrows since there isn't one kind of arrow that works for every bow.
oh thank you, have a great summer, also good work on your videos, I hope in the future, they'll have a modern repeating crossbow, that would be awesome w/ both the field tip and the toxic
AMS Aaron M Simpson Get a degree in mechanical engineering, and you could possibly design it yourself and make millions, at least until the governments impose "regulations."
right, they have terrible laws in canada, we just want to shoot guns at targets for fun, like they said on 5 guns the gov't doesn't want you to have
Just getting into crossbows and just found your channel great info. Thanks for sharing your findings. Im now a subscriber.
Thanks for sticking around!
I have the same arrowheads and target you used, but I haven't personally taken down an animal with one yet. My father's friend sent us a picture of a deer he got with one of these... they, DESTROY.
Why do i watch these videos? I hate hunting but love weapons. The hell?
Do you eat meat? Cows milk and hen eggs?
@KJB The meat/animal byproducts we consume are not hunted, they are factory farmed. Different things entirely. Though, I'm not against hunting at all, just factory farming.
>hates hunting
>still eats meat
>dumbass
Jarl Anarch Awfully presumptuous aren't we?
haseothepkker He's not wrong.
What's next? Exploding arrow heads?
We can only hope.
+Brandon Moucheron Funny, there's a video to the right called "12 gauge exploding arrows"
+ Brandon Moucheron they exist and they shoot bullets on impact
He did a video on those
I was being facetious
thats not a clover leaf pattern supposed to be a biohazard pattern
+Brity MaRch A clover leaf is printed directly over the image of the blades right on the package.
Still, it's the shape of a biohazzard, and it's name is a "toxic." It only makes sense to infer that it was entirely intentional.
Nep Nep It was, and it's both according to the manufacturer themselves. That's where I got it, and that's why I said it.
This stuff has always interested me so subbed.
Ignore the negative lot that have their heads up their rears. They're the same type who'll complain about hunting but happily purchase meet from a slaughterhouse, oblivious of conditions animals go through there. Will sit in front of their computers and play video games that simulate hunting but in turn cast negative and hypocritical opinions towards those who actually do it in life.
Great videos!
Love those compounds you've got plus your crossbows are great too. I'm more of a longbow kinda guy but you've got some nice compounds
That's a little fucked up...
its called toxic because if you look at it head on it looks like a bio hazard symbol
Elijah Stewart .....
No shit sherlok
I love how we can talk about the brutal slaughter of animals with smiles on our faces, but we freak out when the topic turns from deer to humans. I'm not with PETA, mind you, I hunt just the same, I just, ya know, dont smile when I think about the fact that I'm brutally and painfully robbing a deer / elk / [last year] bear of it's life.
If you're going to eat, something has to die. If you're going to eat meat, an animal must die. Why not do it as efficiently as possible? Why is it bad to find improvements to the process interesting?
Oh, and I have no problems making a very large distinction between the death of an animal and the death of a human being. Anyone who places both on equal footing and hunts is either a very sad hunter or a very sad human being.
bow hunting is extremelt a deer and it will look around and continue grazing until it feels sleepy and and lays down and dies PAINLESSLY. The blades severs the arteries and heart so the animal bleeds out extremely fast is the deer runs it'll get maybe 2 hopes before it dies that makes the blood pump fast so it dies even faster. Bow hunting is legitimately one of the most human ways to kill an animal. as far as your animal to human thing. Human beings are omnivores, to we are designed to live on a diet of vegetation AND meat. these animals are killed for food and eco balance. People being killed is murder it serves zero purpose unless it is self defense. If you are killing a animal painfully you are a terrible shot and you need to devote a lot more time to target practice and learning where to shoot and with what.
TL;DR
You know its probably going to be used for hunting, so why do you click on the video?
Phoenix because I'm a hunter too? Just with rifles
I used this arrow on a deer 2 weekends ago, I also used a normal fixed blade arrow same day. I’ll never use this arrow again, same shot on 2 different deer, and this arrow killed the deer significantly slower. The fixed blade killed within 20 seconds and the deer went 20 yards. This blade took at least 5 minutes but I will say the deer still only went 35 yards.
FINALLY! An arrow that gives us that whistle/woosh sound hollywood thinks all arrows make!
I find it funny that you like the deer dying fast, so you dont have to track so much. Not that the deer dies fast, so it suffers less.
staslig It's both, actually, and there's nothing funny about it.
ofc its funny. You feel its more important not having to track, than the animal dying fast. If the reverse was the case, you would have said so, but you didn't even mention it
It shows alittle of how you think and thats just hilarious.
staslig I said "...the faster the deer is going to die AND the less tracking your going to have to do." They are two different reasons, and they are both important. Neither of them are funny.
staslig Perhaps you would prefer the animal to have a slower death at which point the animal may flee long enough for its body to not be found. This would result in the creature dying in vain, unless of course it was damaging its ecosystem in someway (i.e, causing competition for resources, disease, etc.)
you did not get my point.
anyway, I find people who kill for fun disgusting.
dude, that's such an asshole thing to do. It's one thing to shoot it in the head, but to shoot it in the lungs and have it suffer it seems just kind of in humane. I might be wrong so if i am please correct me
+ben martin Read through the comments.
k
you are not a hunter lol
Josh Bryan yup
+ben martin you are a hunter? really? You shoot for the head with a bow? You sir could give Robin hood a run for his money. Also, you realize that out of the 4 months that deer are in season, firearms are only legal for a week or two in most states.
The point of hunting is to Kill the animal with the Least Amount of Suffering.
The less suffering, the more Humane for the animal, and the better the meat will taste due to less Stress Hormones in the blood and meat. I think this arrow head would do very well in making an animal bleed very very quickly.. though we need more Data from a Field Test.
So TWANGnBANG, How did this arrow perform on your hunt? =^_^=
BlankPicketSign I didn't have any deer I wanted to shoot show up in front of me during archery season this year. I've read lots of great field reports about this broadhead nonetheless.
I was wondering about these broadheads when I saw them. They were questionable. But to every question I had in mind you ve answer all of them in great detail in this upload. Big thanks. I ve put in an order for these bad boys, and also both my brother and dad too, after they saw your vid. Thanks guys
I really like your videos a lot. I always research everything and having your testing makes my decisions easier. Thank you for your efforts.
Grafdesgn Thanks for watching!
crossbows are guns and should not be allowed in archery season. I am a longbow archer since 1955, my kill distance is 20 yards or less. So I could never compete with that rifle that shoots arrows. So Crossbow should be used during fire arm season.
Gary Elliott It's great that you hunt with a longbow, but others should not be limited by your choice. Also, how in the world are you competing against other hunters based upon the distance you can shoot unless they're sitting right next to you taking the same shot? :)
The fastest production crossbow shoots an arrow at 425fps. A 308 Winchester is pushing 2800fps. A 30-30 is right around 2200fps. Even the fastest production crossbow is much, much closer in performance to your stick bow than the slowest hunting rifles.
TWANGnBANG All you have to do is watch who hunts with what weapon. Any one who hunts with rifle or a cross bow can learn these weapons in ten minutes. true archery requires hundreds of hours of training and practice. When dedication to a sport is not required it attracts a different kind of person. When you can kill at 50 yards or more you do not have to worry about what you eat, drink or wear. They are noisy and not considerate of the traditional archer who has been in the tree or a blind 3 hours before sunrise in order to not be heard or seen. I will fight to defend your right to hunt any way you want, but I think a traditional season should be sacred. God bless us all.
Gary Elliott Right now, any serious hunter should be happy with anything that attracts new hunters. Period. Crossbows are a great way to do that for the very reason that bothers you about them. Hunting seasons aren't rewards for becoming an expert archer or muzzleloader hunter or whatever- they are nothing more than state regulated access to game that everyone has a right to harvest.
Even with crossbow inclusion, the number of hunter you are sharing the woods with today is less than 20 years ago. We need to encourage and accept new hunters, not criticize them and tell them they don't belong in our woods..
My thoughts as well. These high tech crossbows are basically powderless guns is all.
***** What gun do you own that shoots at 365fps? A BB gun? :)
if you kill the animal with a shot to the lungs you're a terrible hunter. brain or heart, everything else is uselessly cruel. if you cant get a straight shot to heart or head, dont shoot.
+DoctorBahnausSee This is the kind of post you get from someone who has never hunted. Arrow to the brain??? Heart shot less "cruel" than a double lung shot??? You have no idea how bad your advice is because you've never seen the results of any of it.
i was and i have. true never with arrow but i know what a shot to the lungs with a gun can do. and it's not very nice to see.
+DoctorBahnausSee You keep liking your own posts with another account. Didn't you know that we can see that? :) Again, you're talking about stuff you don't really know. I've shot deer in the heart and in the lungs with bullets and blades, and there is zero difference in time to death. Sometimes they DRT, and sometimes they run until their brains run out of O2. That happens just as fast whether the O2 isn't being pumped (heart shot) or isn't being introduced to the blood (lung shot).
Recommending head shots of any kind is just irresponsible. There are very limited circumstances under which a hunter should attempt a head shot, and it has nothing to do with how good of a shot you are. A deer's head is the fastest moving part of their body, and they are capable of moving it between the time your brain has fired the motor neurons in your trigger finger and when the bullet arrives at the deer. I *have* seen the horror of botched head shots, and it is a horrible way to die.
yes. there is nothing more important for me than to have likes on my random comments, or to impress or refute random persons. you are the single most important person in my life at the moment and i cant think about anything else but you. i totaly want to be better at this argument.
+TWANGnBANG Dears cant dodge bullets mate. every way to die is horrible way to die. shoot a moving target (ballistics gell) or hit them in the head (instant death)
lungs just suffocate the dear (very painfull)
Crossbows are a petty excuse for a gun bows take skill
I've shot more animals with a standard bow than with all other weapons combined. Hunting skill is about getting in range of an animal, not marksmanship.
TWANGnBANG i have to respectfully disagree with crossbows you can hold it set it on your lap and wait for a while with bows you have to time it out and unless your hulk you will get tired of holding it after a while and bows you cant have a scope all you get is a circle with three dots
Yeah i have to agree with caleb here he is making a point
Sorry had to step by to help a brother with the same name out but yeah robben makes a point here
Caleb Robben If you can't hold back a compound bow indefinitely, you're too out of shape to be hunting. Seriously, it's 10% of the draw weight. Again, I've killed more animals that way than all other ways combined. However, I'm willing to bet you haven't spent much time hunting with a crossbow to know.
That broadhead does not mess around! I wonder how deep it would go if it were sharpened
Gel isn't a good medium for testing broadhead penetration. There is no doubt the arrow would've passed completely through even a very large deer. Thanks for watching!
i knew someone who shot a deer that was facing him, he obviously had a very powerful bow but it went in at the shoulder and came out its ass, this was from an unmodified head
Here in Norway it's illegal to shoot an animal so it dies in pain, and you are required by law to have a one shot instant kill hit. You won't even get a hunting permit unless you pass several tests, proving that you have the patience and skill required for such a shot.
+rogantu There is no such thing as an instant kill. Pure Hollywood garbage. Sorry to see it has infected Norway, as well.
TWANGnBANG There is such a thing if you blow its brains out or go straight through the heart. On instinct they say a moose can still run up to 100 meters after a perfect shot, but it's pretty close to being instantly robbed of life.
rogantu No, shooting the heart does not result in instant death, and head shots are irresponsible because of the massive chance of wounding- there is no way Norwegian hunters are being taught to take head shots. You're last line is the reality- animals do NOT die instantly but most often run even when heart shot. It's still only seconds to death, but animals can run a very far distance before dying.
TWANGnBANG Thanks for the info about headshots being a no-no. I appreciate the lesson. I was not entirely correct, so maybe my teacher didn't tell the straight truth.
+rogantu Not everyone is correct, even some instructors that I've had. 0_o
If you want to sharpen those cutting edges, I would take them off and use the triangular rods of the Spyderco Sharpmaker on them. I think you'll find they come up a real treat.
Ive never bow hunted, but I deer hunt all the time, killed one last weekend, but I use a simple 30-30 Remington. I also have a .308 and Russian SKS, but I enjoy the 30-30 deer hunting here. I normally use a 20 foot tree stand.
I have salt licks placed 100, 200 & 300 yards from stand.
Whether it is curved or straight you are still punching 5" of blade through the air while the arrow is in flight increasing drag and drop. That is the advantage of expandables.
There is still a difference in leverage between 5" of blade curled within a 1" diameter vs. sticking straight out from the shaft. The closer the blades stay to the shaft, the less front steer you're going to get.
Thanks for watching!
Well made, good job.
Surely the appliance of science...to a supposed engineering maxim. That's truly impressive. Providing you're not on the receiving end, that is!
And that crazy crossbow thing is cool. I've been missing out
That jell penetration is insane! That would punch through 2 Elk side by side.
the sound it made when it hit the plywood made me happy
That crossbow is friggin cool.
It's not an disadvantage but rather a big advantage since the blades are not that sharp. The reason for this is because it works like a sharks teeths, it cuts but also ripping up the flash and the organs more. This only works perfectly if you have a sharp arrow end and a good mount of force as you get from the Crossbow..
