INCREDIBLE VALUE: DEEPOWER 1.25" Fixed/Offset Blades

[@douglasmccully7338]

You're a PASTOR?!?! That is awesome. I have just finished my degree in Ministerial studies to become a pastor as well.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Oh that's great to hear. Congratulations brother!

[@stephenmcfarlin1217]

Hi John, after your review of these heads I bought a 4 pack for $22 from Amazon. I tested the flight and they flew just like my field points. I put them away and was using a different arrow/broadhead combination until a couple of days ago when I figured I'd give them a try. Well, the first day with them in my quiver I shot a beautiful 8 pt while he was bedded as I snuck to my stand. The shot broke his huge upper leg bone in half shattering it and penetrating about 4 inches into his chest. I shot him again with my kill arrow on a hard quartering away shot which penetrated up to the nock and he died in 20 yards. Upon examination , the initial head only sheared 1 blade off but the other 2 were in good shape with edge chatter but the ferrule was perfect and is ready to use with new blades after completely breaking his leg bone. Unbelievable performance! Thanks again...

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for sharing that experience. Congrats!!!

[@MikeyWoomer]

These heads preformed like a premium head!.. the ones I got was 12 bucks for 4 heads. That's so crazy. And the way they fly is incredible. I have a 16 yr old bow who is in his second yr of bow hunting. These are what I got for him but I think I'm gonna get me a pack too

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks Mikey. They are amazingly good.

So I got the 100 gr and got to use it finally on a decent 8 point. I was surprised at how fast it passed through the deer. One of the vans actually tore off on the entry hole which did hinder the blood trail but the deer only went 40 yards and fell over. And I am able to Reuse the same head. Just ordered two more packs. Thank you for the great review and helping harvest the first deer of this season with a great broadhead

Not a bad broadhead! I like the look of three blades for some reason. I listened to one of your sermons on peacemaking and really enjoyed it. I wish more people could understand and feel the grace and freedom Christ gives in a tangible way. It makes the small daily transgressions rather insignificant.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Well, thank you! And amen to your comment.

[@feralgrandad4429]

Now those I'd buy. Perfect for some places I hunt with a three blade/minimum 1/8th cut limit on broadheads. Got to say yet another win-win from them.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep. Thank you

[@greiner7414]

Just bought a 4 pack for $11.72 on Amazon.! I currently use Trocars on a crossbow setup. Thanks for your review.

[@mikeguy9668]

Just break down and buy some sirius phoenix bolts and some 150 grain cutthroat broadheads. Itll put your weight a little over 500 grains and handle any business you throw at it. Expensive yes, but completely worth it. It just don't make sense to buy a 700$-1000$ crossbow and then shoot trash arrows and broadheads. The arrows and broadheads do the killing, the bow just gets them there. Food for thought man

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They're a good deal. They also make a 1" model--these were the 1.25" model. Both are great, but I prefer the larger cut.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

@mike guy The point is not the money spent in this case, it's the quality of the head itself. I don't mind dropping serious bank on quality heads. But these are better than most other heads I've tested. They just don't spend any money on marketing. Some companies spend 90% or more of the sticker price on marketing and you think you're getting a better broadhead cause you're spending more money. "Food for thought man" :)

[@mikeguy9668]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures i get that you're just trying to find the best of the cheap heads. My point is that chances are that the first deer you kill with these then the broadhead is pretty much toast. I know I've jacked up a ton of trocars and alike. Im just trying to point this dude to a better option in the long haul instead of wasting money like I have. A good steel head that can be resharpened and survive being shot for years is the way to go and I think you know that

[@greiner7414]

@@mikeguy9668 Dude, I bought the crossbow for $150 bucks. As pointed out above, it’s about value.

[@Timberdam]

Thanks for the review.. Do you tune the broadheads to the fleching?? If you do please show us. Are you shooting left or right off set or Helical and how many Degrees Thanks

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I never tune for each broadhead. I just paper tune and bare shaft tune. Then almost any head will fly well. I have 20% FOC and use helical blazers attached with a AZ EZ Mini Fletch Jig, so it's about 3 degrees.

[@garrettstraffon608]

[@jayyungbluth8888]

If you had to choose between this one or the solid version, which one do you think is better?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I prefer the cut size of this one much more.

[@MikeyWoomer]

This is the one I bought! But it's only a one inch, I think. It was super sharp and flew awesome. I need to look for this one too

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, I tested those a while back and then advised them they should make a larger cut model...and this one just came out. Cut the size of an Exodus but with offset blades. Nice.

[@MikeyWoomer]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures the way the wound channel was through the block impressed me alot too.

[@Timberdam]

Hi John Because these are offset blades do they need Right or Left Off set to fly properly..Otherwise one direction would contibute to spin...The other would go against ?? thanks

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I think you can use either one, cause they won't cause much spin in flight. But I'd use a right helical vane as it would only boost the performance.

[@randy3577]

My son shot a buck with one of these and it blew through and buried in the dirt. no damage and blades were still sharp. I use these now exclusively . and the 1.5" cut

Are you Bowhuntr64? If so I saw that you said they are coming out with a 125gr. Is that right. Would that be in the fixed blade style that is 1 piece of like this one? I cant find it anywhere. I would like to get some to shoot hogs and stuff instead of my single bevel iron will 125gr. Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I am Bowhuntr64. I don't know of a 125 gr model yet. But they are making a 1.5" 3 blade fixed blade head. I've tested it and it did very well. But they're having trouble with customs to get it on Amazon.

[@veryfastride]

I'll put some in my quiver this year. Fly just as well as my QAD Exodus up 60 yards. One thing, though, it says "Replaceable blades". However, nobody sells the blades, and if you decide to salvage a few blades from a couple of used practice heads to make another practice one, there are not fun to assemble. So may I suggest one buys more and throw them away they're done?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, they're so inexpensive; a whole new head is about the price of replacement blades of other heads.

[@Chafer88]

Hey John, I just picked up some of these based off your reviews. Thank you for providing such great information. Did you notice how short the threads were on the screws portion of the ferrel? I use Easton Axis arrows and kind of worried that because of the no collar inserts there's not enough threads. Do you think that would be an issue?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I didn't notice a concerning issue there...at least with the ones I tested. It's not uncommon for some heads to have much longer threads than others; it's usually a weight issue. I don't mind a shorter screw, as long as it gets a few rotations.

[@Chafer88]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures I finally decided to shoot them last night and was happy to see they flew great. So good I actually put the same arrow through the same hole as the shot before( only was shooting one at a time because I didn't want to ruin my best flying arrows)

[@l.i.archer5379]

Do these broadheads spin left or right? My bow with stock string natural clocks my arrows to the left, so I had to fletch my arrows with a left helical. These won't work well if it spins right.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

To the right. They will still work well, but you won't get the same amount of rotation.

[@derekkious4127]

So far this is the best shooting broadhead I have shot. I shot two different types of mechanical broad heads with horrible accuracy compared to these and I took my first deer with these broad heads. I’m sold and just ordered another pack. 22 inch pile driver bolt, 100 grain DPB-02 broadhead 👍🏼

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Good to hear.

[@vidsoutmike]

Seems great to me! Were you using right or left helical fletching?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Right helical

[@rockninkjunkie1]

It's hard to tell from the video (as some are reversed when viewed), but does it cause a clockwise or counterclockwise spin? I'm running a left helical on my vanes, so I wouldn't want them to counter eachother. Great video!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They spin in the same direction as helical or right bevel single bevel heads.

[@jolookstothestars6358]

[@matrix5175]

I look at the performance of these heads and I’m left scratching my head wondering how more expensive heads don’t hold up as well as these or how these can be so inexpensive and hold up so much better than many much more expensive broadheads.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

So true. Some broadhead companies spend as much as 90% of the cost you pay on advertising. Deepower does zero advertising. And I'm sure there are less taxes they pay being based in China.

[@bradlauber9097]

I would like to know if the head spins clockwise or counterclockwise on a bare shaft?Ramcats offset blades are opposite of these deepower broadheads. Are deepower heads really a right offset or is the ramcat really a right offset? Maybe a video would clear this up!!!!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They rotate to the right.

[@bradlauber9097]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Then the ramcat offset must rotate left as ramcat is opposite from what i see in the pictures. So deepower right offset and right helical fletch will match!!!!

Yes, a bit louder in flight. Certainly not a big deal.

[@joshkeller84]

so im guessing youd want to shoot right helical with these heads?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

That would maximize the rotation.

[@craigbutler540]

Do you do any specific arrow tuning prior to each broadhead?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Paper tune, then shoot bare shafts as well, to make sure my form and my tune is on point. If bare shafts fly the same as those with vanes, then I know almost any broadhead will fly great.

[@nellietolb420]

Wow, all steel and another great broadhead in any category much less budget. Does make you stop and ponder why most are so much more expensive and perform inferior. Power of marketing. Thanks for another great video.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Very true. The power and cost of marketing. Deepower spends zero on marketing, whereas some other companies spend more than 90% of the price of the heads on marketing. One page ads in magazines run $50,000--then there's celebrity endorsements and tv commercials. When a company puts the money into the broadhead and not the marketing, they can make a really good head.

[@RobertRMusic]

I just bought a pack of these on Amazon! I am annoyed by companies that advertise and then jack up their prices as a result. In fact when a company advertises, I opt not to buy from them. Value and performance is what matters to me.

How do you think these would fly out of a 370fps crossbow with 20 inch bolts? They seem to fly great out of your bow! 👍🏻

I think they'd fly very well. They also make a 1" model that would fly even better.

[@patrickgallagher4344]

If this one don’t fly right I will think about the 1 inch but how do you think the blood trail difference will be?

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

Very similar to the solid Deepower heads. Of course the ease of Sharpening the solid heads is a big bonus compared to the vented heads r a pretty much 1 & done. I have the Deepower solid ones mounted to my Valkyrie XTORSION shafts I made. They have an Ethics 125 grain insert which teamed with that head for a total arrow weight of 615 grains. I'm planning on testing them but I'm saving them for either a bear or hog hunt. So nice to shoot them into my 2 SEVR targets which I got your recommendation from so thanks for that too.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks Joseph. But these heads are not one and done--heck they shot thru steel plate 5 times and could still be easily resharpened.

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Could u sharpen those offset blades John using the Valkyrie wheel system?

[@WM-jy9dz]

I also bought the solid ones (based on John's testing here) - sharpening is obviously very easy, and the design is actually really clever: by extending the blades over the tip of the shaft the "lever" respectively the BH length from the tip of the shaft to the tip of the BH becomes relatively short thus increasing the overall stiffness and sturdiness of the BH without compromising the cutting diameter. The solid 3 blade design strengthen the design even more (a tripod never wobbles). Thus the whole system becomes much less likely to bend the tip compared to a much more costly 2 blade Tuffhead with a high MA and similar designs. IMO a very simple, but clever and optimized design that gives great performance for a very low price.

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

@@WM-jy9dz 100% true. Cuts down on the expense of using a proprietary steel like Bishop & Valkyrie use. There is no way the Deepower solid heads would hold up to the Lusk testing if they had the shape of the Valkyrie Jag. However the steel along with the Deepower solid one piece design makes it a very affordable reusable item. Kind of like a poor-man's Bishop Holy Trinity.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures I experimented with the Q2i Rapt-X which is basically a stiffer blazer and found that they were quieter with helical than just a slight offset.

Quiet and works great with fixed heads in a 3 Fletch.

I also bought - again based on the tests here - SEVR BHs - much more expensive, but for a mechanical the toughness is outstanding and convincing, thus again unmatched value for my money.
