QAD EXODUS 125 gr: Broadhead Test: HIGHEST SCORING Fixed Blade So Far

[@jason6325]

Nothing better than a lusk archery adventure video at lunch break!! These videos just get better and better. Thanks john. Great work.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks Jason!

[@keephammeringprospecting]

Just did the same thing today 🤙

[@kylemacdonell1450]

Hey John, I started using these due to your testing and since a few Bull moose have fallen to them. The triangular cut is indeed REAL

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yes, indeed. Thanks for sharing that.

[@bradcombs2048]

This is why the Exodus is my fixed blade of choice. Flies great, great cut size for a fixed head, fantastic penetration, nearly indestructible, nothing to dislike! Thanks John for showing again why this head is awesome!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yes sir. Thank you!

[@btuthill9653]

Can you resharpen it?

[@bradcombs2048]

​​@@btuthill9653 yep, very easy to do and can get them razor sharp. Check time stamp 5:35

[@stick__shooter]

And THAT is why they will be on my arrows in Colorado for elk in 2 weeks! I've been practicing with the Exodus Swept out to 100 yards and they fly excellent! I shot two whitetails with them so far and they do leave good holes.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Great choice. They’ve done very well on elk for me. Good luck brother.

[@InTheYear]

Good luck!

[@davez3887]

Thanks for once again a great video. I decided to use QAD Exodus broadheads because of your review 2 years ago and was successful in harvesting a 6x6 bull elk. Great videos, as always.

[@BustemTK]

John because of this video I wanted to try them this year and wow they are really impressive. My go to was always a Grim Reaper but I figured I would give something else a try this year. Shot a big Kansas buck today and I’m telling you the perfect triangle hole it left in it was something else. probably be using them again next year. Thanks for the video.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Love hearing that! Congrats brother. The “triangle of death!” So glad (and not surprised) they worked out for you.

Been wanting to try these for 3 years but been using magnus black hornets. I finally bought a pack this spring to use this season and they fly so nice out of my bow. Excited to use them and even more so after seeing this video! Your awesome!

Can’t go wrong with a black hornet either. Both nice size cuts both fly great exodus is a bit tougher though. Magnus has the lifetime warranty and 100% US made

I bought QAD Exodus Xbow version last year after your reviews and many others. Nothing to dislike. Pure quality!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep

[@richarddean3154]

As others have said, I selected the QAD Exodus after your earlier test. I shot through a MN whitetail with it in 2021 - the broadhead went through its shoulder at a steep angle and a single blade cut through the shoulder's "ridge". The arrow broke when the buck departed - the front 2/3 of the arrow exited the body just above the far leg bone and the back half fell out of the exit hole later down the blood trail. Your tests revealed a quality product and I am very grateful. Good luck this fall.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you for sharing that experience!

The Exodus has been my head of choice for the last several years. I have used it to take deer as well as a black bear. I would like to see updated tests of the the Tooth of the Arrow XL and also tests of the Trifecta 1.5" fixed heads (both in the 150 and 125 grain models). Keep up the great work! Best broadhead reviews on KZbin by far!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you. And thanks for sharing that experience. Those are all fantastic broadheads.

[@ChadSmith-m4j]

Shot an elk this past September 9/1/24 with a 100 grain swept. It definitely puts a big hole in them! Elk only made it about 25 yds before falling over. Best broadhead I’ve used in over 30 years.

[@unadillariveroutdoors9690]

I got a set of these heads last year to try out. They fly extremely well I had to make very minor changes to my rest but nothing major. Extremely sharp right out of the package but when fully sharpened they are dangerous. I shot a doe with it opening day quartering to and complete pass through amazing blood trail and she didn’t go 50 yards. I would highly recommend this head to anyone

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

[@Cjdklh]

I just bought the 125 full so I was happy to see this. I am in CA so I can't use the swept but the full has been great for me in the past. Actually going back to them after shooting Iron Wills last year that I won in a raffle. I like them more personally. My old heads will be my practice heads and these three will be my hunting heads. Thanks for another great review.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for sharing that experience. Those are both very good broadheads.

[@Cjdklh]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Agreed, I just felt the IW's took more maintenance in terms of rust prevention and I didn't feel they were any better to have to deal with that.

[@ashadow315]

What a timely test, taking the very head to Colorado for elk this year and leaving next week. These heads fly exceptionally well, and offer a lot of cut and very little friction. I got my scary sharp on the work sharp station, but you gotta be easy with it, there isn’t much blade to lock in to the clamp.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

That’s so true. I couldn’t believe the penetration on a quartering to shot on an elk in Colorado with a very light arrow, many years ago.

[@klykey461]

Me and my brother and friends have been shooting this Broadhead for a couple years now because we were dissatisfied with the mechanical broadheads we had been shooting and we had shot many different kinds. Our success rate had gone up a ton after switching to the QAD exodus, obviously everyone wants to make a perfect shot, but that just doesn’t happen all the time with an animal, sometimes you hit bone and that’s where these really shine. Haven’t had a deer go over 100 yards yet with this Broadhead, and I have shot around 8 deer since switching 2 of them being mature buck that I shot through the front shoulder, I swear this broadhead acts like nothing was even there, and I have a tough time pulling it out of the dirt after it had gone through the animal. my brother and friends have similar stories to mine. The penetration is excellent. The blood trail is excellent the animals don’t even know what hit them and go just a little ways look around and die right there. What else could you ask for. At this point I can’t see myself ever switching to another Broadhead, I had a big learning curve as far as having to tune my bow, which I knew nothing about, but it is well worth it even if I had mechanicals that the bow didn’t need to be tuned to shoot the same as a field tip, but I believe everyone should tune their bow anyhow, before hunting to get the maximum performance from it and the arrow.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for sharing all that experience. It benefits all of us.

[@MrShysterme]

I've bow hunted over 30 years, and these are the best fixed blade replaceable heads I've ever tried, and it's not even close.

[@brentbandy3566]

My favorite fixed blade. I can screw that on the end of my arrow and group with my field points out to 60. I’m hunting with the new IW wide single bevel this year but it’s going to take all of my will power to not switch back to the exodus. Great review as always!

I selfishly was hoping you would do a QAD Exodus review with the latest protocol. I had a doe drop and the exodus went through her shoulder blade, spine and stopped in the off side shoulder; it looked brand new! I shot another doe broadside and the exodus zipped through her lungs so fast she wasn't startled. She walked off and fell over! These are the best made fixed blade broadheads for the money in my humble opinion. This year I'm shooting Kudu Contours and QAD Exodus! Thanks again for all you do John!

Hey John! New to your channel. I really appreciate your scientific/objective approach to these reviews.

Thanks Jesse. I had planned to test that head, and they were going to send them to me. But they decided to wait until their new head came out. Then that got delayed.

[@tcnarber1]

John thanks for the great review. I stumbled on these a while ago after being in a car accident and was recuperating, and have watched them all. Question here on the Exodus, I’ve already purchased and used the discount code, thanks for that. But my questions are, you stated the swept blades would be more durable than the swept, why? Also on the scores the sharpness was 10/10 and under 200 and got the bonus. But after the test the sharpness was still at 200 so why a deduction of 200 gets a bonus why would 200 have any deduction. Just curious.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you. And I love those questions. It might help for you to watch the video I put out at the start of the year explaining all the testing I do and why I do it and how I tabulate the results. For sharpness, anything 200 and under kits a 10 out of 10. But I give a bonus proportionally if the initial sharpness is under 200. For example, if it is 150, then they will get a bonus of .5 pts, since it is 50 grains, lower than 200. I have a different scale for edge retention. While I do measure the sharpness after penetration test one, it is the difference between the initial sharpness and the sharpness after penetration test one that is being tested. So whether that shot is still under 200 grains or not doesn’t matter. It’s the variance between the initial sharpness and the post sharpness. And every 50 grs counts for the loss of point scale.

[@zacharybell5496]

Great review Swept or full? If swept is legal And why? Having a hard time deciding Thanks

[@ashadow315]

Would love to see them make a 150 grain with a 1.5 or 1 3/8s cutting diameter.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah. There is really not much difference between 125 grains and 150grains. Have you ever seen how light 25 grains really is? I use 100s, 125, and 150 interchangeably out to at least 40 yards. Any difference is within my margin of error.

[@ashadow315]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Was thinking mainly to boost FOC. The design is already proven to be beyond solid. Even a 200 grain version with a tad more cut would be amazing for those of us with long draw lengths and good draw weights. The 125 grain version blew through about 2/3rds the length of the elk I took. I had no clue the shot was angled that much to me and only had seconds to shoot. The exit whole was literally the size of my palm. The elk was on his feet for about 8 seconds and never covered more than 8 yards. 25 grains is about the size of a .177 pellet. It’s not much, but adding it to the very tip of an arrow versus a slightly heavier insert moves that FOC pendulum just that much more. I’m happy with the 125 and will keep using it. Thanks for your tests, they were the deciding factor is using this head and it did amazing, stuck in an aspen tree on exit and still hunting sharp on two blades and the third wasn’t bad.

[@gcaskew]

Can you please add some shots from the crossbow for each head you test.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I shoot the crossbow in every test. Are you asking for more shots? It’s quite consistent.

[@gcaskew]

I guess what I mean to say, is can you test it going 400 FPS? 300 FPS is great for a compound but considered slow in today's crossbow world where they have even surpassed 500 FPS. I love my crossbow and 400 FPS is fast enough for me and I would love to shoot a fixed blade but have not found one that is accurate at 400 FPS. Thanks and I love the channel.

[@shanefickes8714]

How different is the full blade version? Can you do a test on that too?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I have hunted with and tested the full version as well many times. It performs almost exactly the same. However, they are a bit less forgiving at long range flight or in a heavy crosswind, due to the extra surface area. That being said, they still fly well. Both heads are equally durable.

It would depend on what I’m hunting. Those are both fantastic heads. Trifecta ran out of its stock, so I have another video test that I’m waiting to drop later this fall when they have more inventory. Otherwise it’s frustrating to the viewers to watch the video and not be able to purchase them.

That’s hard to say. I really like both Broadheads. The biggest difference is having a one piece head versus replaceable blades.

They’re both extremely tough and get the job done. I’ve taken a lot of animals with both of them.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures using a triangular knife like an old bayonet has been outlawed by the Geneva convention for a century because they create wound channels that can't be closed up

John, where can I get an iron sharpens iron T-shirt like you’re wearing one of my favorite Bible verses.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I love that shirt. It’s from Bow Adx. Just google it.

[@kennycrawford8740]

She also said that

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Haha

[@erikbrown8688]

Can you use these in a crossbow

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yes. They made a Crossbow model as well...it just fits with the extra arrow thickness. But you can use any of their models thru a crossbow.

YOU SAY 10 % DISCOUNT ONLINE FOR ANYONE THAT SELLS QAD ONLINE OR JUST THE QAD COMPANY.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Just on QADs website. They can’t negotiate my discount code with every retailer.

Good head but won't kill any better than a Slick Trick Magnum 125 which gives more cutting area .....

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They’re both great heads. The blades on the exodus are much more durable. And they make a wider cut too. And they penetrate better. But the Slick Trick cuts more tissue.

[@mr.skeptical3071]

They ain't no joke, but , just like ALL fixed blades...they ALL wind plane some!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep, every fixed head is prone to that. But there’s so little surface area on these blades, they are quite forgiving.

[@eyesupoutdoors5684]

Pretty well hit same as field point though??? Lol

[@timtubra7978]

Agreed. They fly well but mine kept hitting 4-6 inches left of field point versus a single bevel BH matching with my field points. I may try to tune them after this season again. Side note I was shooting them 4 fletched not 3.

[@driftlesshunter9200]

Most mechanical broadheads must have long ferrules to stash their blades, whereas a QAD Exodus ferrule is not much longer than a field point.

[@greekmaster1001]

Oh yeah I have about 30 of them but I'm not using them now because they all 100 gr I'm shooting 125 -150 now

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, I typically use the 125s. But with my arrows at least and my set up, I can use the 100, 125 and any 150 grain Broadhead interchangeably out to at least 40 yards.
