John, been watching/following your channel for a long time now, & this is first time that I HAVE 2 DISAGREE, with you... You broke the Robusto & because it out penetrated the 1.5 and actually stuck in so far - that they ONLY WAY to get it out, was for YOU to break it,,, I believe that the actual WINNER is the SEVER 2.0 ROBUSTO.
@LuskArcheryAdventures3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I can't disagree with you. I tried to convey that in the vid. It was a toss up. I couldn't really tell how much I broke the Robusto compared to how much it broke, cause it was inside the concrete. So it would be hard to declare it a winner when a chunk of it is missing :) But honestly, it's an amazing head. From other testing, I know the blades on the 1.5 are a bit more durable just cause they are shorter. And the tip on the 1.5 is more stout. But the Robusto is all steel, compared to the titanium of the 1.5. Truly a toss up.

pretty cool test I personally use NAP Killzone 2 inch cut , before that rage , grim Reaper's and NAP scorpions. In my opinion with expandable broadheads it's a one and done arrangement after it goes through a deer and is sticking in the ground that Brodhead gets screwed off the arrow and The arrow gets inspected and the Brodhead is taken off and thrown away , with all the time and money spent pursuing this sport I want a brand new one every shot ,and all of my hunting buddies follow that rule to. its all about your placement with any Broadhead they all work when you make a good shot
@LuskArcheryAdventures2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I rarely re-use a broadhead. However, if a head is damaged while passing thru an animal, then it's not cutting effectively all the way thru an animal. If you kill that animal, then no problem. But I'd rather use a head that I'm confident will retain its integrity--no bent or broken blades/ferrules--all the way thru an animal. The chances of success are much greater that way.

Great test. Which mechanical out performs a cut on contact single bevel?? Answer IS, None.If I were to use one, it would be the Sevr.
@LuskArcheryAdventures Жыл бұрын
Well, it depends on what “out performs” means. Most mechs will fly better than most cut in contact single bevels. Most mechs will make a much wider cut than most single fixed blades. So in those metrics, the mechs outperform the fixed blades. But for penetration and durability, most fixed single bevels will outperform most mechs. But for hunting something like whitetail or smaller hogs or turkey, all else equal, a top notch mech like a Sevr will fly better, make a wider cut, and still pass thru the animal-and thus they would “outperform” a 2 blade single bevel in lethality.

Cool test! Obviously, any of these heads held up to one bone impact on a game animal....which is generally all your going to get. I think this proves that it's largely irrelevant which head you choose...they all will get the job done with proper shot placement. On a different note, I've seen more recent testing showing the sevr broadhead not performing well against other heads in more "realistic" test mediums. In the end, they were all impressive....but definitely go with sevr if we end up at war shooting Chinese light armor instead of animals🤣.
@LuskArcheryAdventures Жыл бұрын
Thanks Eric. Well, any head can be lethal...but many animals are lost to broken or bent or severely blunted blades. So I want to stack the odds as much in my favor as possible, by going with very durable heads. It's the angled impacts that are most difficult for broadheads to handle. Even the best of the best can get pretty beat up by an angled shot on a hard medium. But it's impossible to truly replicate those in testing, so I only go with tests that are very consistent. No doubt Sevrs are the most durable mech on the market...but also no doubt, they too can incur damage on angled, hard impacts on animals. But the way I see it, I'd rather use a head that can handle 5 shots thru steel plate and 3 into concrete than one that can't even handle one shot thru steel plate. If a Sevr can get beat up in an animal, how much more one of those others.

Well, single bevels have their strengths...and mechs have theirs. I've taken a lot of animals with both. Everything is a tradeoff in broadhead design. Mechs will make a MUCH larger hole and be MUCH more forgiving in flight. A typical single bevel head will be MUCH more durable and penetrate MUCH more deeply.

I'd like to see all broadheads tested
@LuskArcheryAdventures3 жыл бұрын
Do you mean a list of them? On my channel there is a tab called, "Playlists" and if you click on that, there is a playlist of all my Broadhead Tests.

Ever thought about soaking those scapula in water overnight just to mimic what bone tissue would be more like on the real animal?
@LuskArcheryAdventures3 жыл бұрын
That's a good idea. But in this case, I am only using them for a durability test; so I wanted them hard, in order to test the heads.

Well, no comparison in the really hard impact department. Sevrs stick in the concrete; Maxones explode. But they can be a good choice for the money

YOU SHOULD HAVE BROKE THE CINDER BLOCK WITH A HAMMER RATHER THEN BREND THE BROADHEAD BACK AND FORTH!

I've since started using a hammer and chisel. But it's still a pain. Too expensive and cumbersome to buy new cinder blocks for each head I test.

LOL. No Trophy Ridge or Rockets. I don't care how Tuff it is! I'm after the BullsEye. Maybe a Meat Bone Damage Test at Various Speeds and Angles to See if They hit the BullsEye without Deflecting. I like Rocket MeatSeekers. I don't expect to ReUse It. The Arrow Shaft may not Survive, either. When Blades hit Bones They get Saw Bladed. Shoot Three Blades. Who cares if One Breaks. It still has 2 left. Make Your Shot Count. The Rest is History.

Well, this was only a durability test. And I only had these 16 laying around the house. How many do you have laying around your house? There are more than a hundred different mechs out there; I can't test them all.
