If that doesnt change the "other guys" minds, its because they dont want to change...lol One thing about your comment about "unrealistic" shots is that they are very realistic...Animal jumps the string, moves at the last second, deflection from a twig/branch...Keep up the testing...Love watching your content!

[@Kurtdog63]

Oh man. I was hoping you would break out the 200 grain monolithic 3 blade for the third whack test. Fred Bear admitted to hitting three different big game animals on the OPPOSITE SIDE as they reacted to the sound of the bow and did a180 degree spin to exit the area, so, head, gut, and hip shots apply. I am jealous of your seemingly endless supply of "test subjects".

[@wallacelarryWayne]

My first archery deer kill was a doe at 35 yards and she done just that. Did a 180 before the arrow go to her and somehow it hit perfectly. She might have made it 40 yards

[@williamgaines9784]

​@@RanchFairyThe head, shoulder, guts, and hips are not PREFERRED targets, but they are most certainly realistic. If the preferred target, your "vital v", moves after lauch, the other targets may be in its place. Nothing could be there as well, which is why long range shooting on live game is a suboptimal activity. I do not bow hunt, but if I did, I would use the sturdiest "bullet", i.e. a fixed broadhead. Really enjoy the channel.👍👍

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

JD does not speak for all of us target guys. I have been doing unknown 3D for 25 years plus. My gaming arrows for my tournament bow weigh 395 grains. Since 2016, my hunting arrows have been 700+ grains, currently 715 grains. Last year, I even entered some unknown events with my hunting rig and shot surprisingly well. You are breaking through. Keep it up.

Shot my last doe of the season. I was 15' up she was 15 yards out. It was pretty straight down. I broke the front scapula, drove down through lungs, clipped the top of the heart, and broke the opposite side front leg bone. It was a bit too far forward... It was NOT a pass through. However, the animal was dead. That would have NEVER worked with a light setup and a mechanical. I shoot 525 grains. A single bevel Iron Will 125 grain broadhead with bleeders and a 100 grain insert. The arrow is an Apollo. This is my whitetail hammer and I will never go back. No I don't shoot past 35 yards, ever. I don't need to.

Be sweet to see a test between identical profile broadheads in a vented light weight version and a non vented heavier version with some extra insert weight behind it and see how much the weight matters vs just having a good sharp broadhead

[@YoureSoVane]

Different form factors will favor weight more than others. It won't be a perfect test across all arrows, just representative for the tested arrow.

[@pennyontrack]

@@YoureSoVane there is no way to make a perfect test but comparing one style of broadhead to another and only considering the weight and not the design of the head is what almost all tests are. May as well just test a 100 grain field tip against a 200 grain 3 to 1 single bevel and just comment on how the heavy weight is what made it penetrate

[@YoureSoVane]

@@pennyontrack The point is to stop saying that any one factor is true for all targets and all broadheads, but that it's true for similar broadheads on similar targets. Certain target media will favor some designs more than others. Certain broadhead designs favor different speeds and the target media will react differently based on speed. There's very few things that are 100% true across all designs and all media. Sharpness matters. More gradual taper matters. Smoother transitions matter. Lower friction coefficient matters. Lower frontal area matters. Stronger designs matter. Mass either helps or does nothing. Pretty much everything else is dependent on the target media. Single bevel doesn't help in hide if you isolate the variables, but it helps in bone. Three blades can be better in hide but worse in bone. It's all dependent on the media, so we can't take the media out of the conversation. It's literally the basic idea of "the target defines the test" in that different variables are just optimizing for the test. Isolate your variables if you want to identify a pattern.

[@susanliggett3982]

I'm a subscriber and enjoy your perspective on broadheads it is excellent data to consider, for me on deer (never shot a pig) I have had great success with a 400 fps plus crossbow shooting a 290 grain 20 inch bolt with a Swhacker 2" cut 100 grain broadhead (true field point accuracy for me & it's been a tough broadhead for me/has never come apart), total arrow weight 390 grains, minimal arrow arc path to target (keeps me more accurate less drop to consider, I can't afford an Oracle X), maximum speed retention (less deer reaction time to shot), many deer killed with this set up & always an exit wound, I keep my shots more in the forward triangle area as you refer to. -W. Liggett

[@mattp9574]

Vortex Nation similarly brought up a great point on bullet construction. If we could design a bullet that recognized that it would be going into a softer part of the target it would expand dramatically and cause lots of soft tissue damage. On the contrary if it hit something hard it would drive through and cause structural damage to bones and other hard objects and still go through the target. Therein lies the problem, we hunters are not going to look at our quarry and go “ this one needs the structure breaker or this one needs the soft tissue damager” and rechamber a round. What’s the solution? - use the more robust round and place the round/ arrow where it counts regardless if there’s hard stuff in the way… just like you are teaching. Great stuff.

[@nicolaalberti7736]

What is the more robust round ? The one that penetrates more in ballistic gel or the one that expandes more in the same ballistic gel?

[@mattp9574]

@@nicolaalberti7736 a heavier constructed round such as a monolithic copper would be the more robust round as you could go through bone structure while retaining a lot of mass and going through more of an animal after encountering that bone structure

Something that your test didn't show. Edge sharpness would have eroded after each broadhead shot. The obvious conclusion would be even greater performance with a fresh sharp blade.

Awesome as always Troy. Cant wait to see the other tests between mechanical and fixed on pigs. Side note: I really think people get the idea of the Ashby study wrong they are so focused on the grains not the statement “the heaviest projectile you can get going as fast as it can in a trajectory that is suitable for you.” I know you don’t care about the kinetic energy machine i understand why it makes sense why but I think that plays a factor for selection charts. I tested and tried 350-650 grains and it was surprisingly astonishing that 600 and 560 performed the exact same with momentum and fps but the KE was vastly different. 101 with 560 88 with 600 275 fps both 0.8 slugs of momentum both at start 0.7 at 50 yards both. I now decided that I get the absolute best at 520 grains with trajectory and speed and momentum with ke. I think that’s what the crossbow likes to eat the best. And this is the point draw weight, draw length mechanical assistances or not all play factors to what works the best. 3X the draw weight plus for my crossbow was in diminishing returns. Yes there was benefit to way less sound on shot but it was the same for 560s the 17” ish power stroke with no mechanical assistance will be different than a bow. People need to shoot their machines test their machines and see what works the best.

[@RanchFairy]

I don't know about the momentum on 600 and 560 exactly the same. My data does NOT show that at all from 388-715 grains progressively more momentum. I am going to do some more in-depth "trajectory" work this year. INITIAL observations. When you zero multiple pins for a 600 grain arrow the trajectory issue goes away. With a slider - zero trajectory issues. It's a slider. But when you shoot pins with a 500 grain arrow and THEN shoot 600 grains. But using the faster arrow pin set - it APPEARS to be a horrible rainbow. This is because the trajectory curves are different. The 600 grain trajectory curve is more like a rainbow. The lighter arrows actually look like a comma on its side. flat, initially, then rapidly dropping off. I do know, 400-500 grain arrows, the pins progressively open up as you get past 40 yards. Again, if a slider, not an issue. But the heavier arrow tends to have much more consistent gaps. This is plain and simple Aerodynamic drag increases X velocity squared. I'll keep tinkering and stay tuned - I have been wrong before!!! But I am Gonna go find out. As I started - INITIAL observations are not final facts.

[@chrisruzsa2798]

@@RanchFairy I agree with your analysis as well and to be really fair I did not consider the differences of compounds vs recurves. I also think there is factors too with length of the machines and so much. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you main bow gave results and a second bow that was slightly shorter didnt give different results. The science of archery is fun and progressive lol.

[@ThirdLawPair]

@@african7498 There are plenty of statistical tools that work with lower number of data points. What you are describing with the comparison of a skin-deep wound versus a total pass through is a common method when doing pilot studies before committing your time and resources to a more rigorous study. You can make a rough comparison and find out which measurements are even worth it to do a in a more in-depth investigation. Even then, it's still practical to compare 3 or 4 shots of each to get a sense of how much variance there is. If you compare 2 arrows with only 1 data point each, and say that one penetrated 26% more than the other, you have no way of knowing if each of them tend to vary by that much anyway. Even by standards for preliminary unpublished pilot studies, that's just so weak.

the less data points the bigger the difference needs to be to be statistically significant at a given confidence level - or put another way - smaller differences can be stat significant with enough data points. But this is not a boring stat page. @@ThirdLawPair

[@RanchFairy]

there are some "very SELF important" individuals "testing" field points on foam and bashing on Ed Ashby due to "more efficient bows...." (throw physics out, that's just old information!!!). They test on foam and allude to the fact that the penetration in foam with field points is equivalent to hunting arrows. One of them is a well established "archery oligarch" and knows all things. Well, I figured I'd show that field points and broadheads, on meat, have different results.

[@kurtisb100]

@@RanchFairy wow. That’s… amazing. And stupid. Thanks for making this make sense for me, or rather not make sense. I mean, the way foam stops an arrow is by the heat and friction it generates on the arrow shaft, right? That’s why they make broadhead targets out of foam? That’s not what happens in a meat target, and I would have thought that would be obvious. Thanks for making the obvious outcome indisputable I guess.

[@RanchFairy]

@@kurtisb100 I think this is sarcasm. Ok. So if you see a test with field points stating some penetration results. IN FOAM, gel, multiple layers of cardboard, car hoods, water jugs, etc. The target defines the test with field points. So field point into a target do not simulate on meat with a broadhead. BUT the clickbait guys who claim "ultimate arrow penetration test" or "heavy vs light, with field points".....then claim it will replicate on meat with a broadhead are completely lost or intentionally rigging the test.

@@RanchFairy the interview with Dudley was very painful to watch and not from your side but his. I like a lot of what he puts out but man he wasn’t even trying to discuss what you have found in testing. I really appreciate the content you have put out Troy. The one thing I would like to see is testing on fixed blades with the same shape and cutting edge but different weight overall arrows. A vented vs non vented head of the exact same design and more insert weight behind the heavier non vented head to make the weight difference more. I think the heavier broadheads are generally a lot better design than lighter heads and they may be penetrating better just based on how bad ass the head is more so than the weight of the arrow.

A target is built to be consistent, so that if you hit it at the top, bottom, center, outer ring, whatever, the target will stop the arrow. Regardless of where the arrow hits the target is the same. Why would someone think that an animal would be consistently the same from top, bottom, center, shoulder blade etc.? That seems like kind of a stupid thing to make an argument on... "If I shoot this target with my kid's bow or my bow, the arrow will penetrate about the same with field points, regardless of the arrow" well yeah... no sh*t...

[@RanchFairy]

You'd be surprised. The "foam fondling fellas" say otherwise!!

[@hunt_trap_fish]

@@RanchFairy it just seems bananas to me. Is there an inherent assumption that they are hitting the same spot on every animal so “their” targets “aren’t” changing? Even so, an elk is different than a white-tail is different than a blackbear is different than a hog… I can’t square how they can present that as science in my head.

[@RanchFairy]

@@hunt_trap_fish And yet, they do.

[@jameshibbard1097]

Have you invited them to test their set ups on real meat targets instead of foam ? If they truly believed what they were saying, surely they would accept an invitation to the ranch to shoot their fast set ups in side by side comparison on the same targets.

Troy, I know you don’t run with an X-Bow however do to injury I do My question is….do you know of any “ANY “ target that can stop an adult X-bow arrow with fixed blade broad heads?? Right now I’m passing through 2 big shot targets and 3 brick house targets all set in a single row with a 3/4”rubber mat behind Them and hard wood pallet boards in the very back! Nothing seems to be able to stop my setup 🤷🏼‍♂️even after dulling the b. h.’s with a file I will not hunt with out testing ALL my equipment and dialing them all in! Thanks Mike

[@pennyontrack]

Rinehart 18-1 is one of the best for stopping fixed blades.

[@Engrave.Danger]

I use the MORRELL HIGH ROLLER FOAM TARGET for my compound. It's rated to 450fps crossbows.

[@MichaelLakota-vc4tk]

@@pennyontrack Thanks, I’ll give that a try

[@MichaelLakota-vc4tk]

@@Engrave.Danger thanks for the reply! Just to let you know I’m shooting a 520 gr. arrow at over 400 fps with my Ravin x-bow and Magnus K B’s

[@Engrave.Danger]

@@MichaelLakota-vc4tk right on. It might be worth checking out some x-bow reviews of those targets then. I've got a Mathew's V31 65# 28.5" draw with 626gr arrows with GrizzlyStik Alaskan 200 broad heads 25% FOC. I haven't measured but it's calculated around 220 fps and the target takes it like a champ. It's small and expensive but well worth it imo.

[@jasonard7227]

how dare you show real stuff and speak facts lol we all know what really matters is how your arrow choice makes you feel and look to your buds...my arrow is moving 1800 fps weight 250 grains with a 15 blade 10 inch cut flipper and will pass through elephants...

[@elizabeth_williams]

Snarky remark required... this test is invalid you used the same broadhead which was constantly degraded on each subsequent shot😂

[@ericnewman971]

The testing Troy is talking about, and he is misleading in his comments, is about mass, ke, and momentum. Tests like this have to be controlled. That is just how scientific tests are done. The test has zero correlation to penetration depth in an animal. In the foam test, which is a consistent resistance target. One of the tests was to look at several different bows and draw weight. It showed that as we increased draw weight, we saw an increase in penetration. (This should be obvious) Next, we did a matching KE between two arrows of unequal mass. What we saw was a very minimum penetration difference. (This is due to the target being an equal resistant target) Although the heavy did out-perform. Next, we added a hard-impact target. This was PVC. The PVC does not represent bone or any part of an animal. When we shot with equal KE, the heavy outperformed, and it was obvious it outperformed. So, at this point, we see the same thing that Ashby saw. This includes some testing by ttroy. The heavy arrow outperformed. This is what should happen. At this point of testing, we need to look at what gives us penetration. We know the main factor is mass. Increasing mass increases penetration. Again, this is what Ashby saw. But we don't know if it's KE or momentum. (we actually do; physics already tells us the answer) So, the next test was to match the momentum at the target between two different weight arrows. What we saw is that the lighter arrow outperformed. Here we are back to the same issue about a equal resistant target. So we added PVC to the target. Again this is to have a hard impact. what we saw was that the heavy arrow with matching momentum did not break the PVC. What that shows is momentum and mass don't outperform mass and KE. (we don't really need to test this either, as all you need to do is look at trad vs compound bows, and we can see a lighter arrow with a greater amount of KE over a heavy arrow with less KE even though it has more momentum. There is a guy with a physics background who talks about this and explains what gives us penetration. You can look him up on KZbin. Jared Spencer, Ph.D. Again, the test only looked at physics with mass, KE, and momentum. The test and the amount of penetration depth have ZERO CORRELATION to an animal. Our outcome matched what Ashby saw when you add weight to an arrow being shot from the same bow. The next test that needs to be done is the same setup with a broadhead and shooting animals. Test one would be to match the KE at the animal. Test two is to match the momentum at the animal. This would take the data set to the next step.

You showed up!!!! troll#1. For all watching and reading. The appearance of foam fondling second tier worshipper #1 is here. The animals are not consistent. Therefore CONTROLLING the test medium is 100% intentionally controlling the "test". You are rigging the test with a medium you know will give you the results you wish to see. Then YOU ALLOW the general public to believe they will see the exact same results with a hunting arrow. No discussion of: 1. Arrow tune 2. Spine 3. Arrow flight 4. Broadhead type 5. Sharpness and durability of the cutting edge You and your buddies just say "with the foam fondling fellas magic system you can shoot any arrow, any broadhead, and your results will be the same with any arrow system, any mass, any steel, even the edge of a beer can will work". If you're not saying that. Then you need to say it. But you can't, because then you have to burn all your reports. Guess I have more videos to make. Literally, the field point in this video did not perform anywhere near the broadhead. By the way, those arrows were tuned and flight maximized. Time to break out the mechs and hit some hard things I guess!!

Would you rather try and stop a 285# linebacker running 10mph or a 185# linebacker running 15mph lol Also would you rather get hit on your driver door by a motorcycle doing 80mph, a car doing 70mph, or a dodge ram 3500 doing 60mph. Remember your on the other side of that door

[@stevehuffman7453]

irrelevant. in ALL jurisdictions with wild boar, broadheads with the proper minimum citting diameter or greater) are legal for hunting. Fieldpoints are NOT legal ANYWHERE for hunting.

[@TodayIFoundSomethingShiney]

...thats not the point?

[@twl10101]

You missed the point of the video. In Texas, wild hogs are non-game animals, so you can shoot them with anything.

[@hunt_trap_fish]

additionally, the point is to illustrate that the TARGET VARIES when it's an animal, and foam DOES NOT VARY at all...
