B3 EXOSKELETON 2 BLADE Broadhead Test

[@b3archery]

Thanks Lusk for the review. Great flying broadheads that get the job done on whitetails, with big exit holes! We have something coming next year that we would like you to test sometime soon! All the best this fall to you on your adventures!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yes sir. I love your stuff and would be eager to test anything you put out.

[@michaelpoplawski3246]

I think the B3 Exoskeleton is probably the best demonstration of why Ranch Fairy calls expandables "flipper-flappers."

[@reddawng43x91]

Fk ranch ferry! The dude got all the noobs setting up there bows wrong

[@theincredible9168]

The park pixie is a joke. He doesn't even get pass throughs with 700 grain arrows and huge fixed blades. While lusk is getting pass throughs with sevr mechanicals.

[@rykerpuckett2883]

@@theincredible9168he’s not a joke lol, moved up to a 530 grain arrow and a Magnus and passed through a doe after splitting the thickest part of the rib without any issues at all. That would NOT happen with a light mechanical setup, I’ve had it happen personally.

[@south_hunts_605]

@@rykerpuckett2883 yeah he has become kind of a joke until he starts full-time making data with modern equipment it doesn't matter he just talks more than anybody else. I mean everybody's experience is different but sorry it happens all the time! Shot a doe rooter to the tooter entrance through the right front shoulder out the back opposite ham with a Sevr 420gr/#65, 42yds. Another, double shoulder same arrow with a Zeus Hera double shoulder full pass-through at 51 yards. Got some on video with a 400 gr lol. All that to confirm everyones experiences are different and shot placement and set ups... as long as you get the job done responsibly who cares!

[@theincredible9168]

@@south_hunts_605 Exactly. MFJJ got a pass through on a Buffalo with a 420 grain arrow using a grim reaper broadhead.

[@clayrichardson1839]

Loved the tip & overall design. It has a lot going on. Maybe thicker blades & half the cut length would provide for a better performance?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep

[@drewriggs812]

I'm not a big mech guy, and I wouldn't use this head on big game, but on Turkeys, it might be a good choice. Thank you for another awesome test video!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

:)

[@joeymurphy5617]

One of the archery shops i go to, the bowtech there uses the 3 blade version and they are nasty on turkeys

[@Frogtalkin]

These pass through black bear, elk, and deer like hot death. Plus super accurate shot placement. These fly amazingly well, and if the break it’s 20 for all three heads to be reloaded with new razors

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@gregbirkemeier2231]

Any plans on testing the new Tooth of The Arrow Single Bevel? Thanks for all your testing!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, I’m testing them now. The first batch I got had some problems with the edge, so they’re fixing it and will send me the improved ones soon. Not too uncommon for new heads.

[@keystonestatebowmen3128]

Did about as well as I expected it to after seeing the design

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep

[@chrisfitch2905]

Those thin long blades are a real problem , That and we have a lot of great rear deploying heads available that eliminate the small entrance wound problem.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep.

[@christianpaisley3179]

Shot two different deer opening day, one at 18 yards( full pass through) and one at 30 and neither heads expanded on contact and lost both deer, only 3 specs of blood for the first 100 yards on both

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you for sharing that experience. It’s really helpful for people to hear different real life experiences. I’m sorry that happened just the same.

[@dennisharvey8435]

hey john can you test the keaup broadheads from amazon? I think they are a rage knockoff but i put one through a tire three times and it held up great. I couldn't get the blades to lock back up after the third time but the cut was great with 8" of penetration. I also stopped shooting over the top mechanicals because if you don't get a pass through there's no blood trail with the tiny entrance hole

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They asked me to, but I can see a really significant patent they've broken, so I won't do it. I don't like to be too political, but when it's that obvious, I don't want to play a part in it.

[@madwe2269]

A 125 or 150gr version of this with thicker and maybe reinforced blades would be amazing. With the extra torque on the blades cause by rotation due to the offset, I think that thicker blades would have been more of a forethought. Everything by b3 except for their broadheads are amazing, and all their heads only need 1 or 2 changes to be exceptional.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep.

[@TRC1989]

I have these in 100 and 125, and they really leave a hole. No o-rings and they open very well. Definitely gonna send one through a whitetail shortly. Was thinking about the 3 blade Meg but gonna go 2 blade this first time and see about it.

[@kungfooish]

Good luck! & report back

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you

[@Vinnys_vids]

I know your probably not going to see this but I haven't been able to find any testing with the bloodsport night fury I wish I could send you some.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

You can if you'd like. I tested the Gravedigger earlier this year; same foundation, but it's a hybrid. My address is 2502 Sun Grove Rd, Melissa, TX 75454 if you ever want to send me heads to test. I just need 3 new ones to do a proper test.

[@ryanketcham3383]

In school a 77 passes and this head missing a whole set of steel plate testing, is not equal. it seems like a failure to me and no matter what should be sub 75

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Haha. I understand your thinking, but I have carefully created the formula for the scoring. It's not infallible by any stretch. But I think 5% for the steel plate test is fair. And 3% for the concrete as well. Now the MDF is 12%--that's much more realistic and "important" to assess hunt durability.

[@ASimao71]

Great test! I liked them... Might buy some. Can I make amsusgestion, Sir? Test the killer instinct killertech broadheads? They have performed great for me! 👍

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I will look into them. thanks

[@connormcnabb6872]

While they were still not super durable, I'm curious why this blade design seemed to perform a bit better in the MEG that you've also reviewed.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I can't really remember much about that test, but this one has only two blades, so penetration is better...and my testing is quite a bit different than it was back then.

[@sabineriverboyz7]

Been awhile since I've seen a cheap broadhead review have you heard much about the new single bevel heads they're selling on Amazon I think a six-pack of them is under $18

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, I like to do that every now and then.

[@dougfriendt8906]

Has any broadhead you've tested ever failed the angled shot test?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Only one. I hate that test. I'm dropping it in 2024.

[@dougfriendt8906]

Which one was that?

[@yourmomma2995]

man, i could tell just by looking at those long, thin, narrow, unsupported blades that they were going to be good for nothing. i was actually shocked that they didn't deform or break in the cardboard.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Well, in most hunting situations, I'm guessing they'd be fine.

[@FWBNation]

We need a Lusk Archery G5 Mega Meat review!

[@DIRTISTERRIBLE]

He has one already. Those leave the biggest hole I've ever seen in a whitetail. It didn't do good in the durability test but does fine on deer. Wasp z force is the same thing but cheaper.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

It's up now. I've tested it twice; the second one was last week.

[@deanbrantley]

9” in the gel has to be near the highest ever. Keep in mind folks, bent blades aren’t great but better than broken. I prefer rear deploy myself.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Not the highest, but one of them. Very impressive--but that entry hole in the hard MDF is pretty small, and that helps.

[@frankspataro9714]

Bet this head will easily hold up in deer for some reason people think deer are bullet proof

[@madwe2269]

Well, I have witnessed a 90gr bonded bullet from a 243 get completely mushed on the shoulder bone of a 110lb doe. That bullet resides on my desk with less than 50% weight retention. I also have a 130gr 270 bullet that weights something around 40gr recovered because of core separation. That bullet didn't even make it out of a 160lb buck. The budget amazon mechanicals did better than this. I'd imagine if you even hit a rib wrong this head wouldn't do great.

[@johnathanhannah4180]

Unless you’re shooting a fixed at close range and super fast speed, no broadhead is going to do well impacting a deer’s shoulder. I do have concerns about how this head will handle a rib impact and would like to see some real world examples in the field. A 2” diameter with that kind of penetration is a recipe for a devastating exit wound… assuming the blades pass through intact.

[@frankspataro9714]

You send me one and I will smash a doe with it this week bet the deer will be dead as hell even if a blade breaks off or not lol I like large entry wholes because your not guaranteed a exit but I bet that thing demolishes em

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

It will in most situations. But angled shots, bone impacts, animal movement--those factors can really test what a head can and cannot handle. Some people want to prepare for the worst situations, not just "most" situations.

[@elncalls]

KZbin is pretty full of this head right now. Love the all steel construction, but blades are a bit weak. Looks pretty wicked indeed. Probably would do good on deer.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep.

[@GuyGuy-tp6ng]

To bad it wasn't just your basic over the top design 3 blade around 1-1/4 cut with a band holding the blades in place. I think that would be better

[@DIRTISTERRIBLE]

​@@GuyGuy-tp6ngso a spitfire?

[@GuyGuy-tp6ng]

@ATMgiver spitfire is a aluminum ferrule

[@HuntsT]

When I saw how thin the blades were I knew their days were numbered. Just not enough depth in the geometry to resist bending moment. They would need to be made from spring steel or titanium to resist plastic deformation.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for the comment.

[@joeditz48]

Thanks! Wont be using this head!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Ok

[@ceciltorres6906]

They didn't even open on impact. We should have seen 2 inch cut from the get-go.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Well, over the top deploying mechs don't open on impact--only rear deploying mechs do.

[@ceciltorres6906]

​@LuskArcheryAdventures not with this design. I can agree with you with the swhacker. Because the wing blade are toward the back of the blade . But this one the (wing) blades are on the front. So when it hit the target they should be push back open before they go in the target

[@whitewiskerz2577]

These heads deflect really bad. Happend 2 times this season. If your target is square on they are great but at an angle it gets real weird. I got lucky and got another shot on one deer and found the second after 600 yard track job. Ill be switching for sure.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for sharing that experience. That is often the challenge of a Front deploying broadhead.

[@PersonalBestOutdoors]

I often wonder what is going through the minds of some of these broadhead manufacturers. Skinny blades with a lot of cut and offset? In not surprised it didn't perform well on the durability testing. Part of me wonders if that was intentional. It's job security. Keep buying blades.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah...but I'm sure it will do okay in most hunting situations. Durability was not its strong suit.

[@bfittock]

id stick with fixed blades.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

:)

[@drewolm]

Having those blades pretty much even with the tip is worrisome.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I didn't see any kick out from my testing...but I'm also really careful to not take too angled of a shot in hunting.

From experience... these are trash. Do not use them

From experience I have meat in my freezer. Don't see how that can be trash. Are they the best heads on market?... no. But they get the job done for sure!

And people shoot mechanicals at animals…unbelievable 🙄

[@chrishorne5186]

Sevr all day.

[@yourmomma2995]

people also shoot terrible fixed heads at animals, there are excellent and poor examples of both types available.

[@DIRTISTERRIBLE]

Not only shoot them but filled a lot of freezers with em

​@@chrishorne5186trying them out this year . Hope I like them. Cabela's had them for $20 a pack so I bought 3
