[@tjrou2005]

From deep South LA and your statement is 100% correct.

[@pjackson8322]

Texas here, I'll be honest, hearing you saying you were hot in July wearing a long sleeve shirt made me laugh, but you probably tolerate the cold way better than we do, so it's just acclimating to different climates. Great comparison vid here thank you, just getting started and excited to dive into the archery world. Thanks for sharing it helped alot.

[@jasonard7227]

​ @TimConnor13 dont know why you have not hit 100k yet your stuff is great man I dont care for yalls light arrows but who cares shoot what ya want.. keep the stuff coming

[@DBANDY1]

Just ordered a 6 pack a Daysix evos, first year using fixed blade broadheads so we will see how it goes

[@bnelsonmedia]

Did you retune for the warrior's since they are a different arrow diameter? would end up being a bit knock low compared to the RIPs if you didnt change the tune at all.

[@douglasvaughn9530]

Good point, I was thinking the same thing.

[@BruddaMan808]

Tim, I’ve been watching you since you started tagging along with the group n am very impressed with your progress and where you’re at now. You’re knowledgeable, kind, very honest, and your blogs are just simply said-awesome. Thank You! In regard to your test fatigue on a hot day might be a consideration leading to the test outcome? Try running the test back starting with the gold tips first. Thanks again!

[@nanate8190]

Stumbled upon your channel watching broadhead reviews.(I’m new to bow hunting) I have to say I’m highly enjoying my evening watching your content. Iv learned a lot. And that I highly appreciate.

[@chuck805]

Hey Tim, thanks for telling us to put a bow in your hands and start shooting a bow (Josh and Tim fireside chat). I ordered a diamond edge 320 from SVA via Amazon. I adjusted the draw weight to 48 lbs and fired my first arrow! Made me feel something, swelling up inside me, was looking for something to keep my old self physically active. I believe that I'll have a better quality of life and I have you to thanks. Also you're channel is growing fast, keep doing what you're doing it's working for us.

[@DocSilveri]

Beginning bow hunter here. This video is extremely informative on what's the real significance for somebody of my skill level with only a few months of practice, which means that at around my comfort level (under 40 yd) there shouldn't be a significant difference between cheap(ish) and expensive arrows.

[@jacoblamkin]

Hey Tim, love the content. Would you consider doing this test again but with mechanicals? I’d be interested to see if there is as big of a difference when using mechanicals. Just a thought. Thanks!

[@officerfoxtrot3633]

I’m using 200 grain VPA single bevel and 200 Grain Bloodeagle Valkyrie. I’m also using a 29” draw APA king Cobra Dg at 90#’s. On the chrono, my 768 grain arrow is 265 fps.

[@brettwelch8368]

qad exodus for tough animals and grim reaper fatal steel 3 blade for white tails.

[@Joeandabow]

Hunting whitetails mostly in swamps and river bottoms in central MA and maaan the Grim Reaper WTS puts em down wicked quick!! I do keep an iron will single bevel in my quiver if I feel hard angle or distance shots but in the 3 years I’ve been using the WTS my swamp dragging excursions have drastically reduced

[@cjherriman7226]

After living out west and shooting long distances it was obvious that the tighter tolerance arrows made a difference. On the other hand I have moved to northern Minnesota where 50 yards is a stretch for hunting. Shooting “budget friendly arrows” here I think that human error is more an issue over arrow tolerance. A properly tuned bow and consistent broadheads are more critical in the midwestern whitetail woods. Out west the expensive arrows or high tolerance could make a difference. I have a swacker, a rage, and the German Jager in my quiver. Going to head to Michigan for some doe hunting and broadhead testing.

[@pdub15]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering if you could do this test these at a shorter distance, say 50 or 60 yards. I'm too nervous/afraid the animal I'm hunting would spook and move with the time it takes an arrow to travel 100 yards. Just a thought on my realistic abilities and respect for the animal. Thanks for your all your hard work and videos, keep 'em comin'!

[@papaschuette]

Wassup Brother. That was a pretty fair test. Did the wind maybe effect the larger diameter Warriors a little? Just a thought. I'm hunting whitetails this year but haven't decided on what broadhead I want to use. I have somewhat narrowed it down though. For fixed blades, I'm torn between an Iron Will wide single bevel 125gr with bleeders, a VPA Omega 125gr, the Grim Reaper Hades 125gr, or a G5 Montec 125gr. And I'm thinking of trying the Beast broadhead for a mechanical. There are just so many great options. I'm leaning towards the Iron Wills and the VPA's for their reusability and ease of sharpening. The G5 Montec's have a practice broadhead that isn't sharp so that helped them make my list. So I wouldn't be dulling my broadheads during practice. Sorry for the short book for a comment.

[@jasonnull2248]

Fun vid. Can you try 40 or 50yds?

[@HooligansMx]

I switched from the original muzzy 3 blade to 2in mechanicals and I'll never go back. I've switched up with arrows alot but have used the fmj 5mm 300 spine the last 3 years and love them total arrow weight is around 525g w/broadhead and I have no penetration problems through bone or anything hell went in behind the shoulder shooting almost straight down and busted through the opposite side leg bone with 2in MECHANICALS! Switching to the new beast broadheads I watched him use them on alot of big game and they seemed to work really well!!

[@tatoo190]

Magnus is my go to for broadheads

[@justinmclellen1007]

The carni-four has been fairly accurate for me out to 80yards. That is the furthest I have tested them at, but had good results.

[@rfcorreiaiv]

iron will 125 wide single bevel, second season using iron will, first time using this style.

[@n2trkys18]

I shot micro hades 100 grain a couple years ago. Flew great, but didn’t find the blades to be that durable at all. I went back to the old tried and true, Thunderhead 100s. They worked great last year, just like they always do. I won’t ever be changing broadheads again.

[@kenszewc2981]

When switching between two types of arrows, I find I need to re-tune (micro) for the arrow change. Slight spine difference makes quite a bit of difference in broadhead flight even between expensive brands.

[@graydoncoy193]

Last year I shot viper tricks and got a pass through on a bull elk and 4 whitetails. This year I'm rolling with day 6 evo. Fingers crossed they hold up, the viper tips would be trashed after each animal

[@MossyOakFreak]

Hot as a biscuit, my man I'm in South Florida. The heat index today is 111 and it's 94% humidity. It's a lot being streamed like a pot of crabs. I'm drenched in titty sweat just walking down to my mailbox.

Wow. Testy. Just pointing out that the gold tip weren’t tuned. I’ll bet they will shoot straighter than 99 percent of archers can shoot.

Magnus stinger buzzcuts again this year. It ain’t broke so I’m not going to try to fix it.

[@kenmccann7528]

Now try it at 50 and see what the change is? Id bet you would be real close in score.

[@timbow50]

While offering some great content testing like this in the wind at this distance is really useless. At long range do you know exactly where the pin was at the break? Of course, it’s your video so my opinion isn’t worth much but testing at a more reasonable yardage like 50 or 60 on a calm day would definitely give better feedback. It’s a good idea to see how your broadheads fly at distance in case a follow up shot is needed I’ll agree. For those mule deer and antelope hunters a 50 +- shot is common so knowing if one has selected the right broadhead is paramount. Just saying!

[@davidlabroad817]

I don't think its an accurate test, the warriors were shot after you already shot a dozen arrows. so I feel fatigue could play a part in being less accurate with the warriors. Just my opinion. Love your videos.
