Great video and great message. I made a video of my ten point I shot with an elite enkore set at 70 with 470 grain arrow tipped with a 125 grain 2 inch cut mech. Found the arrow 5 yards behind the buck, buried half way to the fletchings. One key important part is to use equipment you have confidence in.
I think the biggest impact the heavy arrow thing had for some hunters was they actually got out and spent a lot of time learning how to use their equipment. A lot of us don't practice as much as we should.
Good video, congrats on the deer, I hope you get more.
"practice"
Ashby did a research among hunter-gatherers. The best hunters were average shots.
Shot placement is king. Hear hear woof woof💪
I agree I have learned so much about arrows and building from diving deep into arrow weight, FOC, and always tinkering.
And you would think that something that requires constant practice people would. But the more I learn about the hunting culture the more I learn that a lot of people do not practice. They spend all this money on ammo, arrows, bow, guns, yet don’t practice. It’s pretty sad for both the appearance of hunters and the animals

LETS GO BRANDON!!
You are a smart man. Good story as always.
Actually, I prefer the thin crust pork sausage and mushroom pizza topped off with American made Magnus Black Hornet serrated. Great combo!!
I lean toward heavier arrows. It's just a personal choice. 17 to 22% FOC has worked for me, for a lot of years. I don't have to be right. I am not arguing. As an archer,when that arrow leaves the string, you need to have absolute confidence that you have done the best that you could do.
So glad you’re honest! I shot mechanicals once but my new motto is why introduce another potential problem into the system.if it can go wrong eventually it will
That's the one thing I miss about using mechanicals, if your shot is off you can still possibly catch lung or vitals. I went back to magnus due to penetration issues, but last year made a center liver shot but lucky enough I was using the grim reaper and it caught lungs also.
I like pepperoni pizza…
Good stuff man I enjoyed the video.
Schwackers have never let me down. Currently shooting the #269 levi Morgan 2 1/2” cut and im loving it. Shot three deer with the same broadhead so far this season (sharpening in between deer of course)
I would say it's honest that the shoulder ridge/knuckle is a tough spot. But I have blown through both the humerus and scapula ridge on multiple deer. I would avoid making claims that you cannot do X or Y, cause it is done all the time with proper setups. I'm shooting a 640gr arrow with a 150 gr cutthroat and it has yet to hit a bone that it hasn't broken in a whitetail. A mechanical won't do this.
I have been bow hunting for 40 years. In 40 years I have seen a used a few arrows and broadheads. Shot Muzzy 125 grain for a ton of years. For a few years I switched to expandable. I have had some good luck with them. But with that said cut on contact fixed blades have never let me down.. last season I put a 200# 8 pointer on the ground in 25 yards. Definitely want to try the Magnus line of broad head... Thank you for the great videos 👍
I like pepperoni pizza with extra sweet peppers
I'm new to bow and saddle hunting and find myself watching your videos on both subjects. Just want to say thank you for the advice and knowledge you bring, and I do in fact love pepperoni pizza!
I love pepperoni pizza!
Looking for suggestions or ideas , I have a v3x 29 with 28" /60#/80% let off cam set up , looking for a good arrow set up , wood like to be in the 500 grain area, knowing I'll lose some speed, but with the 60# I'm already giving up some speed ,,, I do have some axis match 340's in hand and fixed 125 d broadheads from years past ,,,, love the videos and the funny interviews and specialy all the great informative ideas that you share Thanks...chazz
Love the outro 🤣 lol
I told cutthroat that I blew through a target and skipped the head off the asphalt and chipped the hell out of it, they said thanks for the honesty and sent me a new one. Pretty damn good warranty and company in my book
I do like pepperoni pizza, however thanks for the insight Nate. I've been waffling on the fixed vs mechanical debate after a ton of issues with a set of G5 Montec heads. The Grim Reapers seem really solid but the reliability of a fixed blade is hard to ignore.
never had any issues with the g5, its my go to. what kind of issues? weight variation? wobbly/off-center? breaking?
@@anotheryoutuber_ Mostly tuning issues, I was good through paper with my field points but when I switched to the montecs I was all over the place, (6" plus off target at 20 yards) after a whole bunch of fiddling with nock tuning and sorting some small weight variation issues I checked through paper with a bare shaft and I was just a bit out, (maybe a 1/4" tail left) once I fixed that I was sorted but it was a huge pain for such a small adjustment to make such a big difference down range. Plus in the process I managed to bend a blade on one just shooting into a block target. Next year I'll be shooting QAD Exodus or the Grim Reapers haven't decided yet.
@@TheUngryMan q
I'm a Hawaiian style pizza. Thanks for the videos. I recently switched to Magnus last year and with the help of your videos including taking the time to retune my bow I was finally able to get them to fly straight. I attempted to start at a local bow shop to correct the low and right impact, but I received the reply of "That's how fixed blades fly". I still like the shop, but not all employees are created equal. As a fellow long armed person, 31.5, I thank you for all your input and videos even though RUclips has been tougher on outdoor channels.
“If you’re in Florida, and you’re shooting German Shepherds “. HEY!!! I resent that remark!!!! 🤣
I am a fixed blade guy as well! My go to head is the QAD Exodus! Very pleased with them! Magnus heads are also a great choice though!
Pepperoni pizza is the best pizza.
I had a similar situation with a buck at 35 yards this year, shooting 696 gr single bevel, 63 lb draw, 30in draw. Passed through front knuckle then opposite side scapula. Total plan b situation. And I was able to watch the deer drop and just sharpen my broadhead, and killed a bear 3 days later with the same arrow.
I agree its excessive for picture perfect between the rib shots, but there is no such thing as overkill, there is just dead and not dead. I do believe my arrow saved me, bc speed doesn't matter when they move faster than the fastest arrow. I use a similar arrow weight for my longbow, same broadhead just slightly lighter and I purposely shot a deer front on with it at 19 yards and the arrow exited out the back ham.
No hate btw just saying there is something to be said about heavy arrows getting the job done on plan b situations.
Ranch Fairy?
@@jasonito1723 yes ofc, aint no hiding the truth about those arrows, they just work
Totally agree with Magnus customer service. Every time I've had to contact them (nothing to do with broadhead structural issues) they've been super easy to deal with. And on the note of super great customer service, I have to give a shout out to Killer Instinct crossbows. They also have proven to me they back everything they claim to be. Just register your bow.
I can also vouch for Magnus customer service. Magnus replaced one of my broadheads that passed through a doe and nailed a rock, I had an issue with getting it back together after resharpening it.
Valid points Nate and congrats on the doe. My theory for this year was pick a velocity/trajectory I was happy with, adjust bow poundage and build the heaviest, most FOC arrow to meet that.
For years I shot at 67# 29” draw with 340 spine, std insert, and 125gr fixed blade broadhead. I was sending that 420gr arrow at 275fps. Pretty standard bell curve setup and no real complaints. Just wanted to try something new and see if I could improve.
This year I ponied up for an 80# bow and practiced all summer to feel comfortable at 75#. Now my setup is a 300 spine arrow with 100gr insert and 150gr broadhead. Final weight of 580gr at 272fps. Pin gap out to 50 yards didn’t change as I just moved my sight from my old bow.
Does it work any better on deer? Don’t know, this setup has stayed in the Jeep each time I’ve gone out and I took my recurve shooting a 710gr arrow at only 150fps. 😁
I think I'll be spending some money with Magnus
I love pepperoni pizza.
Very insightful explanation. Thanks bro.👍
I agree perfect arrow flight is more important than arrow/broadhead weight. Congratulations on the deer. I shoot 575 grain setup with a 200 grain single bevel which I find very deadly. I have shoot 3 deer the last 2 years and had great success the 2 this year dropped and died in seconds. Kinda nice to not have to track them.
Man please check out sevr broad heads 1.5 max penetration! It’s a mech broadhead and the only mech broadhead I will ever shoot.. watch some of the durability test people do on RUclips it’s insane!
P.s. my tummy can't handle pepperoni anymore 🤣.
Good video as always. I used to shoot Rage. Never had an issue. Now I shoot Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts because they are just better. A well tuned bow with a “bell curve” arrow will work every time.
The only mechanical broadheads I trust are grim reapers
Another solid video, great analysis. Keep'em coming! Congrats on the doe
Great analysis. Last week I aimed to graze the backside of scapula and destroyed the vitals and broke clean through opposite scapula. 30yd shot #100 doe only went 20 feet. The Rage mech blades broke off on the opposite scapula, but passed through and stuck into the ground. I'm suprised it was able to walk that far with broken scap. #70 / 28.5" draw / 420 grain total arrow weight / 15% FOC. First time using Rage, but i carry Griz Tricks along side in the quiver, more confident in em if I were shooting at a buck.
I'm a big believer in mechanical heads for turkeys, but much more comfortable with a decent fixed blade for big game. I've been very impressed with the Exodus 125 grain heads and almost got to see results this weekend but I missed the doe. Arrow was buried over a foot in the dirt behind her, broadhead is in perfect shape except for needing a quick touch up sharpening.
For the sake of argument I’d like to see you build a 600 grain arrow with a Magnus and try and repeat the rest as best as possible.
Who’s to say that with how quiet it will make the bow and an arrow that’s more quiet she doesn’t respond later? There for making a better shot.
I’ve jumped on the heavier band wagon and fixed blades no because of penetration but for how dead my bow sounds.
In Sc we can take a crazy amount of deer and have mtns of arrow/broadhead data.
I built a 350 grain arrow with a 75 grain Wasp just to prove exactly what you have. But my bow was really loud.
Thanks for the content.
I'm currently shooting 620 grains. I started with trad bows 35 years ago and never migrated to light mech setups when I transitioned to compound. Heavy, quiet, high foc works best for me. In my experience this minimizes string jump. This year I took a doe from 28 yards after she spotted me and settled down a bit. Hit her just a couple inches high. Center rib shot on the way in and on the way out, redirected and went another 20 yards and burried in a fallen tree. In all of my years hunting what I just described is typical. I have never had an arrow fail or anything less than a complete pass through on the big Indiana deer I hunt.
It's like Brandon Mcdonald is your older brother from another mother. Both of you have a great sense of humor and love to teach and share your passion for Archery 🏹 and Archery hunting if one so chooses. Plus you both made a similar video breaking down a shot and using the same brand of mechanicals in Grim Reaper. Although his was an arrow that's 100 grains heavier and using an 80 lb bow instead of 60. Both still dropped the deer and rolled them right there.
Definitely a fantastic video idea since as you mentioned 70% of your customers grew up in that speed game with mechanicals that don't take as much time to tune as fixed type era.
Yes I like pepperoni pizza 🍕 usually with banana peppers 🌶 like we had two days ago.
Good luck the rest of your season. Hopefully you find that stud PA buck 🦌 you're dreaming of Nate.
Good stuff Nate. Congrats on the deer.
I like popcorn. LOL
Great video Jack. Like always.
Great video and insights, thanks for sharing .
There is a reason Grim Reapers are one of my favorite mechanicals.
Congrats again on the doe! As for the out of focus shot, just like you said, nature of the beast lol. Still a great video, as is this one.
Good Informative video, I have a quiver that holds 5 arrows I keep 3 rage xtreme broadheads in it and 2 Wasp Boss fixed blades. Just depends how I feel when the deer come out, but I will say for longer range I do prefer the rage because of the confidence I have for field tip like accuracy.
Keep it coming, thanks so much!
Such good videos. I am getting back into archery after lots of years away. So much change in technology and technique. I search RUclips for relevant videos about archery and save them to a play list for later. My list is full of AJA ARCHERY videos! Such sensible advice. I appreciate the reasoning behind his opinions. Thank you!
I like pepperoni pizza
I bought a new Elite Bow (Enkore) in part due to your videos. I shot all the manufacturers and Elite felt the best for me. love the videos. If you ever come to Colorado I would gladly help you get on some elk.
I saw Brandon's video when it came out. My wife has burned me out on pepperoni pizza. I am watching this just before I head to the woods this morning. :)
Good luck next week.
I left a comment on the video you two did were you were drinking the juice box, I told him it would have been cool if you were chewing a bubblegum cigar…. Just saying…. Lol
Love the new into Jack 👍
I've been shooting the truglo titanium 4 blade mechanicals for the last 3 years. Best mechanical I've ever shot. 9 deer down, no wounded animals.
"I got luck with grim reaper, maybe you will too". I'm more of a pepperoni and mushroom guy myself
It will be fun to compare a fixed blade shot if you get the opportunity. Thanks for the video!
Great video! Good luck to the rest of your season! Looking forward to more vids.
Hope you enjoy Indiana. I’ll be out in Hoosier National Forest on rutcation. If we cross paths I will say hello.
Nice doe and video. Even after your recommendation I used a Rage 100 for my first kill since 99'. Double lung and the arrow didn't pass through and stick in the ground like I remember. I think 485 grain total weight shooting 30" at 65 lbs. Kinda surprised. Felt good though. God Bless you and your family.
USA! I love it. another excellent video thanks
I've had a lot of success with the Sevr broadheads and they are pretty tough and I feel comfortable with them. My setup is over 500gpi though. However there is a continued cost. You have to replace the blades and most likely after I use these up I'm switching to some slick trick double-bevels, something I can resharpen and reuse.
I shoot Easton axis 5mm 340 spine.460 grains. Wt fixed blade broadheads .NAP HELLRAZOR 3 blade. At 60 pounds 28inch draw. Wt my BOWTECH REVOLT .waiting on my new strings from threadz to come in. My strings are good. Just wanted to upgrade. Great video.
What part of Indiana will you be heading to?
The NE portion.
I'm from NE Indiana good luck the deer where I hunt are really starting to scrape and rub this past week. I believe next weekend will be prime.
Great video. The buck I killed yesterday went less than 40 yards after I double lunged him at 22 yards. After experimenting briefly with mechanical, I went back to my 125 grain G5 Montecs. Total weight of my 400-spine Easton FMJs comes to 470 grains. Since I'm in my 70s now, I am shooting 57 pounds at 28 1/2 inches. I get complete pass throughs, and short blood trails, and that's good enough for me. I also practice with my equipment- a lot.
"Aim low." - Fred Bear
Great video. And i really like the fact that you decided to shoot what you sell in order to feel honorable about selling them. Great to see that theres still honor in our sport. It does not exist in all shops. I noticed with the mule deer i shot this year that to the naked eye (meaning mine) it looked like a had almost no penetration. But after cleaning him it actually went all the way through one rib the heart and broke his leg on the exit side. All i can figure is it hits with suck force snd speed that it bounces back and we just cant see it without super slow video. My deer was 250-300 lbs 4 year old mule deer buck. Exact same broad head but a 29.5 inch draw and 70 lbs. also it was a 95 yard shot. I have all the faith in the world in good made mechanicals. And i have no issues with fix blades. To each his own, however i do think the arrow should be light enough to get at least around 270 fps. I kno thats achievable even with a 65 lb bow. My friend at superior archery in billings montana kills elk with a similar set up every year. Keep making great videos and good luck the rest of the season
95yds! That's legendary. How is it that the animal doesn't move by the time the arrow gets there?
@@jasonito1723 idk. He was bedded under a rock and completely relaxed. It was a little wind also so that probably helped with fletching noise. I think taking long shots like that are specific to each situation. I shot a whitetail in wyoming at 101 yards 2 years ago and he never flenched until the arrow hit him. But i shot 2 whitetail in arkansas at 30 yards and they both jumped the string and ended in high shots. To me 30 yards is the worst… close enough to hear your bow, but just far enough away to move just enough to make a bad hit. I do my best to set up for 20 yard shots.
“80 lbs for some reason “
My draw length is 28.5 I shoot a 477gr arrow @283 FPS. There’s no way to do that otherwise
Heavy arrows fast, that’s the why!
"Heavy arrows fast, that's the why!"
477=Heavy? 283=Fast? Hahaha nah!but keep doing the best you can lil fella.
@@casanovafrankenstein8875 imagine going on a year old comment and trying to shit talk a stranger on the internet.
Couldn’t be me
Oh, was that "shit talking" to you? I guess that must've hit you right in the feels to get so defensive so quick? Hmm. Sorry little guy. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Truth sound like hate to ppl that hate the truth lol. 477 isn't heavy and 283 isn't fast. That's just the truth. But keep using 80 and doing the best you can. That's all anyone can ask for. Haha🤣✌️
Great video. I think you should shoot what you feel Confident with. Do not use a set up that you might be Questioning. With that said I went for a heavy arrow high foc build last year and I had to Abandon the set up the night before hunting season started because I didn’t feel confident with the set up , I could not get my arrows to fly right. This season I have my heavy high foc arrows flying true. So shoot what you want as long as you feel comfortable with your set up. Good luck when you get out to the stand 👍
I wondered what all the lets go Brandon chatter was about.
From Fla and shoot German Shepards.. hahahaa... but true..
The pepperoni has to be the good Italian imported stuff~!
I had a feeling something was up when it didn't pass through LOL
I have shot 2 deer so far this year (southern mountain deer.. Not the farm ones I hunted in the People's Republic of New Yorkastan!). I had to use my xbow because of unforeseen issues with my bow (which I have a ? about a noise I hear). Anyway, one was shot with a DirtNap Single bevel 125 and the other was with a Grave Digger Cut on Contact Hybrid head (125 grains). Both deer were dead in 50 yards or less. The DRT head was a bit high and the G/D was a touch back (aiming into bright sun with a scope ain't easy). Both heads did MASSIVE damage. I will say the DRT head I can use again after touch up.. The other needs the expandable blades replaced (bent to hell). 2 things:
1) I sharpen ALL my heads before shooting to beyond shaving sharp.
2) The DRT head - I swear I was taking lung pieces out of that doe. Not just cut, but sliced off pieces. This is my go to head with both xbow and vertical.
Now, my Bear Species bow is making a "creak" at the start of the draw. IF I start a 2nd, 3rd, 4th and on, draw, there is no noise. But if I shoot say 5 arrows 2 - 5 gets no creak. I go get my arrows and shoot again and "creak", It's coming from the lower area and it is not the cam. I have shot lithium grease in everywhere I could (frustration). I want to fix this myself so I can learn. Driving me nuts.. I won't even go into my constant right tear my Obsession is giving me...
Had the same issue with my Hoyt, bought a press and tore it totally down. You can't get lube between the limbs and pockets without teardown. Lubing the pockets and contacts on the limbs made it silent again. Used white lithium, I tried the super lube silicon but the noise came right back.
great video. You explain things so well. I agree either broadhead will work, i too prefer and shoot magnus fixed blade and really like them. oh yeah, no pepperoni, sausage please.
Not completely normal. You have a longer than average draw length. Which creates more energy. Do you think a man with a 29" draw at 60# would have had the same results. Brandon McDonald also has an long draw length.
Great video Nate.
I sware the worst thing you can do with a deer is stop them with a mouth grunt or noise or anything!! All you do is alert that deer of your where abouts. They are then on high alert staring in your direction and ready to beat feet!! Then you shoot and they do the super duck and roll!! I always think it’s better to shoot at a walking along deer that has no idea your there than stop one with your mouth and put them on alert!!
I started out with rage (don't have much bow hunting time put in) and kinda changed to sevr 2.0. because I am the way I am which is ridiculous I keep thinking about going fixed blade to either grim reaper micro 3 blade or iron will. I keep watching all these videos of brodheads like your, elk shape, Brandon, and ranch and its got my brain all over the place lol. shot one doe with the sevr 2.0 and had a good pass through but one blade bent 🤷♂️ what I don't like about them is when they're in the quiver they make a good bit of noise not to mention is a pain in the arss getting them into my tight spot quiver without deploying the blades
Congrats on the harvest! I too like pepperoni pizza haha.
Coming from trad background I'm a fixed head/heavier arrow kind of guy even for the compound I'm now shooting. Interesting the ratio of mechanicals v Fixed heads, I say it's the opposite this side of the pond. 3 blades probably the most popular as some countries like Denmark have a 3 blade 1 and 1/8th cut minimum. But this video mates sense. As for Pizza I've spent enoought time in Italy in general and Naples in particular to be addicted to Margherita/Bufalina lolol. Cool upload as usual Nate 😁
So, before 300+ fps bows and carbon arrows, bow hunting wasn't ethical?
Lost more deer with magnus broadheads and they always break if you hit a bone. G5 mega meat are better quality, shot a doe thru both sides of the ribs broke the front leg on opposite side on exit and still went in the ground several inches with only 1 blade bent a little.
Been using thunderheads for the last few years now. I've killed two deer that ran less than 30 yards, won't use anything else as long as they keep making them.
Pepperoni pizza 🍕. Had it yesterday for dinner
I prefer mushroom and bacon on my pizza. I also love magnus broadheads.
Great video mate, between you and snyder, why would anyone need more information.. Great content..
My cousin likes to remind me that pepperoni doesn’t belong on pizza but i 100% disagree, i love pepperoni pizza!
I like pepperoni pizza and this youtube channel thanks for keeping it real!
I hit a 6 point in the exact same place today with a 150gr 2” Sevr. I only shoot 55 pounds. Dropped in his tracks. I had to climb down and put another arrow in him. I wish I could post a picture of him on here. I also normally shoot a Magnus broadhead. I really like the Black Hornet Ser Razors. I’ve tested 12 different broadheads on deer over the last two seasons. The Magnus penetrates a lot better but the mechanicals leave better blood trail in all the testing I’ve done.
I shoot the 2" SEVRs as well but I'm shooting higher poundage. With your draw weight have you considered the 1.5"
Do you think that lighted nocks contribute to deer reacting to the shot? I don't shoot lighted nocks as I think the multiple components make them less accurate than normal nocks. In your opinion, does this rationale make any sense? Congratulations on your deer.
Do a video of your up to dated bow string?
I’m shooting 512 grains at 280fps 17% FOC With grim reaper carni fours They fly like darts I’ve shot two deer with them this year the first deer a shot through both shoulders and it was buried up in the ground 4 inches the second deer a shot quarter to me shot him through the top of the shoulder blade and out at the last rib and it buried in the ground another 4 or 5 inches inches
I also like pepperoni pizza lol
But great video thanks and congratulations on the doe
With a sharp broad head, a 300 grain arrow will kill a deer. said arrow does not have to do anything except have a sharp. Broad head,, and a well placed shot.. My hunting set up is my target set up. I don't eat targets.
I shoot rage hypodermic. I've shot 3 deer so far this season, 1buck and 2 does. All were clean pass through 2 were double lung and heart and one was double lung. None went more than 50 yards. All died in sight. I shoot 70 lbs with 30 and a half draw length from a diamond deploy. I have no idea what my arrows weigh but all 3 shots were 5 inches in the ground after going through a deer and 2 sets of ribs. Not sure why all of a sudden everyone is concerned about heavy arrows and foc.
Holy crap your deer are tiny
Oh yeah they're not Midwest or Northern deer for sure.
I don’t see enough videos on how loud arrows are in flight and the reaction time that they allow for deer to react to. If a deer is whistled or bleated at in an attempt to stop if for a stationary shot, it’s first reaction is to stop and pinpoint where the noise came from. The duck and run reaction comes when a secondary noise (un identified and a possible threat) of something rapidly approaching- the arrow. Lighted nocks don’t help either as they are a visual confirmation to said threat. How about a video on sound testing the same arrow at 25 yards equipped with different styles of vanes? Spoiler alert. Blazers are by far the loudest. Love your vids. Keep’m coming!
Which vanes are better for sound? Are feathers quiter?
That Magnus Stinger Buzzcut looks NASTY. Does that 4 blade help keep it from deflecting as easy or simply a method for increased blood trail or both?
I believe more in the latter as it really helps zipper open the hole. Although deflection wise from an engineering standpoint it makes sense I think.
Shot a nice 8 pointer 2 weeks ago. The buzzcut zipped though him like warm butter. After exit, the arrow hit a rock and the boardhead was toast, bent and busted. Contacted Magnus regarding a replacement and they sent me a new one. This is the second time they have done this for me. Absolutely no reason to shoot any other head IMO.
THE BEST customer service in the industry. Mike Sohm is a 35-year veteran in the broadhead industry. He didn't get to where he is now because of poor QC or bad CS.
lol was watching brandons and with auto play on this is the very next vid
Whenever everyone talks about mechanicals they start talking big cut no one says anything about the hole range of broad heads 1.5 and smaller that have great penetration sever 1.5 rage +p 1.5 and grim reaper 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 and now let’s talk arrows victory VAP TKO just don’t try to shoot 3d with them I shot 2 deer 1 with sever 1.5 and 1 with grim reaper 1 1/4 both complete pass-through
I shoot 72 lbs to make up some speed for being short 😂. Also I’ve killed 5 deer so far with rage broad-heads and have yet to see a deer run more than 50 yards. If I was hunting on the ground more than in a tree I would probably be using fixed blades. If you put the arrow where it needs to go the deer is dead that simple. Humans have been killing ungulates with pointy sticks for millennia but the modern hunter overcomplicates the concept.
Good Video. Very fairly presented. I have been bow hunting for most of my 56 years of life. My first compound was an old Browning X-Cellerator with a wood riser. I have shot a really wide range of broad-heads over the years both fixed and expandable. Killed many deer with both. Here's my 2 cents. I will defend expandables in a few regards. First, tune your bow. Never use an expandable to cover for the lack of tuning your bow. If a hunter doesn't do this then that's not the broad-heads fault and don't blame it for their poor results. Second, know the power level your set up is generating and choose a broad-head with a sensible cutting diameter. Marketing in this country always takes the same path. "If this much is good then twice as much is better". The end result of this ever escalating marketing strategy is that there are mech heads out there that open to the size of a small umbrella. God help us I saw one that opened to a 2 3/4 inch cutting diameter. This leads to another misconception about mech heads IMHO. It's not the energy required to open the blades that impedes penetration it's the damn cutting diameter of many of them. It just takes some serious power to push a 3 blade head with a 2 inch wide (or wider) cutting diameter through a deer. And that would be true of a 3 blade fixed head of that size. It's just that no one I know of makes a 3 blade fixed head that wide because of what a bitch it would be to tune. But when I have tested and hunted with mech heads of a sensible size they have performed perfectly fine. One of the first mech heads I ever killed a deer with was a type called a Rocket Steelhead. The 100 grain version of that head had a modest 1 1/8 cutting diameter. And let me tell you something, IT BLEW THROUGH DEER. In fact it penetrated just as well as any fixed head I owned in any target material I tested it on. Why? Well because in my opinion it had the same cutting diameter the fixed heads did. Sadly it is no longer made because of the aforementioned MORE< BIGGER
"When animals are moving 1000% of the time" Seriously? How long have you been bow hunting? I've shot a quite a few deer that didn't move, and have missed deer low because I was aiming low expecting them to drop and they didn't; fact is you never know what they will do.
I would enjoy a video on how to and or get rid of nerves while hunting. I did not shoot 2 deer this year because I was not comfortable taking a shot while my bow was shaking uncontrollable shaking. Is there anyway to have it stop it?
Hey jake, I recommend practicing on varmints. Pigs, coyotes, chickens, squirrels, coons whatever. I got rid of shakes this way in about 5 varmint kills when I first started bow hunting. Good luck
