G5 Deadmeat V2 Broadhead Review

[@jimjessie2704]

have taken over a dozen deer with the deadmeat 100gr with no problems--shoots just like a fieldpoint out of my mathews z7--for elk i do switch to the g5 striker 100gr,--on 3 mature bulls had complete pass thrus

[@fielderseventytwo9719]

Got a nice 3x3 opening day with the MegaMeat. Devastated that deer! Just missed a huge 4x4 Blacktail deer two days ago using the V2 at 20yrds! Ugghhh...Buck fever hit me hard!! I was shaking so bad i could barely draw my bow back, vision went blurry, 1/2" right over the back. It still hurts😢

[@ethanfeatheroff9135]

At 40 yards these things do not fly with field point accuracy out of my bow the bmp tip that comes with then hit the bullseye every time but not the actual head

[@danielbell7987]

I am having disastrous results with mine. First one out of package flew fairly decent, consistently 4 inches to the right of field points. Day before opener I decided to fine tune sites to them. Got the other two out and they VERY erratic. Right out of the package one flew 8 inches down to right the other flew 8 inches up and to the right. One time they fly fine the next they get about 15-20 yards out then totally veer off. Got my old NAP Spitfires out and they punch same hole each time.

@@danielbell7987 your not alone I been running the sever 2.0 and they hit with my field points every distance best of luck brotha u can’t go wrong with a proven spitfire

[@zzz7zzz9]

unless you are shooting from a hooter-shooter, you can't blame the heads.

[@ethanfeatheroff9135]

@@zzz7zzz9 I can because I shoot religiously and at40 yards I can hit the heart almost every time with my broad head of choice these particularly group off of what my field point dose it’s not saying there a bad head they just don’t fly true

[@timbow50]

@@ethanfeatheroff9135👍. If a guy can shoot decently at all it won’t take just a few shots to see a head that’s going to be trouble. I think so many times people have issues is a bad arrow build, bow and arrows aren’t tuned and the biggest problem is the weekend warrior that gets the bow out like two weeks before season and shoots a few and calls everything ready. lol. There’s apparently thousands of them.

[@bbmopar3834b]

These and the mega meats are my go to!

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

I don't like megameats due to blade durability. These are awesome though.

[@stick__shooter]

Any chance you can re-test the Deadmeat V2 with your new pressure test?

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

I will eventually. I do have the deadmeat coming soon.

[@littlewoody5539]

I got a nice buck with one 125 Xbow head

[@daltonbbf756]

No deflection test ? I love the dead meat v2 hopefully I can test my own on a few deer this season.

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

No deflection test. Its being reworked I wasnt happy with it. Going to try to find different materials.

[@zzz7zzz9]

for heads with more than 2 blades, the cutting diameter would be a measurement of all the blades. not just from one tip to another, like measuring a two blade.

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

Its a measurement of a straight line through the center of circle drawn around the outside of all the cutting blades. Thus the name cutting diameter. Your measuring cutting edge length

[@bulletsandbroadheads]

What mechanical you like for low poundage. 55lbs 29 draw.

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

I dont like any for low poundage really. If I HAD to pick one itd be grim reaper fatal steel 1 1/4

[@jonah-n8l]

None

[@devinmakemson5859]

This vs the mega meat ?

[@bradnietfeld3271]

Hoping to see a video on Josh bowmar broadhead

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

I'm no going to test it. Lusk Archery did a video on it though

[@leonardcavaretta905]

Question; are they considered a barbed head, and therefore not legal in NY?

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

They would be considered barbed

[@donwilson350]

I got a question bud what's the difference between the old deadmeat Broadhead in the V2 deadmeat Broadhead what's the difference between them

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

Im thinking ferule material and the retention collar.

[@justinbarahona1450]

The original ones had a problem with deploying

[@setharter]

The points are offset to the blades on the V2. In the 100 grain the threads are aluminum in the V2. The blades are vented and sharper in the V2.

[@Mrtaco-bs1lg]

whats the difference between the v1 and v2 though

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

I think only the ferule

[@kelvin0689]

They're quite different. Blades of the V2 have a notch that clips into the collar while blades of the V1 are metal injection-molded with a bump that engages the collar. So blades and collars are not interchangeable between the two versions.

[@wcwcgarner2717]

I am not a fan of mechs wt collars. I know shwacker uses them. And I think sevr does to. But they Are Great Broadheads. So I guess the collar works. I shoot Rage hypodermic no collar

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

This collar works really well, the collars they had on the Havoc wasn't great though.

[@jason6325]

Good head bad price

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

They certainly are pricey

[@jason6325]

@@Chestthumperoutdoors yea im trying to talk myself into buying a pack.

[@garretbellah8615]

Wish they could get their fixed as sharp out of the pack 🙄

[@Chestthumperoutdoors]

Montecs never will be due to design. The striker isnt far off

[@garretbellah8615]

@@Chestthumperoutdoors you’re right! I can’t remember the montec angle degree, but it’s misleading for sure on sharpening.
