OZCUT HURRICANE: BROADHEAD TEST

[@jason6325]

I've been on standby waiting. And here we go!!! Thanks John. Awesome rotation on that head. So many great heads on the market these days

Glad to hear that!

Awesome broad head. Love your reviews brother

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you 🙏

[@justaguy7997]

Thanks John for retesting this broadhead. I have all six I bought about 2 years ago and just touched them up to shaving sharp. I have one that I use for practice. They are ridiculously accurate and as you stated a nightmare to remove from my Sevr target. When I do shoot these for practice, I shoot into the more worn area and still have to push them through as they are really hard backing out due to the amount of rotation. Really looking forward to using these this year!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, I cut my target in half now. So when a single bevel head goes through it, I only have to pull it out of the back half. Or sometimes it just sticks out of the first half. It’s made it a lot easier.

[@justaguy7997]

[@ClayBenfield-t4t]

I started shooting these last year. They fly better than almost anything I have shot. The spin in flight and at impact is crazy. They make hurricane holes in animals. Like he said the only negative is they are hard to sharpen but it can be done. Good video.

[@RUMXHAM]

At first glance I would never buy this broadhead. After watching your testing I am probably going to buy some to try. Those holes in the steel were unbelievable. Great video as always! And I love your shirt.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah they were impressive. They’re not that expensive and my discount even makes them a better value.

[@FWBNation]

Very fair price for such an impressive head. I may have to give these a try after waffling back and forth on a few others.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures what would be the best choice for white tail qad exodus or muzzy trocar in your opinion

[@PersonalBestOutdoors]

2:06 John, thank you. I appreciate you phrasing the penetration qualities about this head that way. "Aid in penetration in SOME mediums" Perfect. I know you choose the materials to represent and simulate the properties of each head so there are constants to compare each head against the performance of all the others. I know the reason you choose to do these videos. To help bowhunters when making a selection for their quivers, based on the type of game they desire to hunt. Shooting animals would be preferred, as that's the broadhead's intended purpose, and what it was designed to do. I understand why this is not an option. Even shooting an animal that you have access to as a test medium like feral hogs still leaves room for one head to have invalid results due to type of hit, anatomy encountered, size of animal etc. Even using steaks as a test medium would leave a ton of opportunity for one head to unfairly be represented, as not all steaks are created equal. This is why The Natal Study is so great. Decades of testing. 631 total animals killed, thousands of shots recorded. All shots taken within 30 minutes of the animal expiring before Rigor mortis sets in and skews the data. Large animals tested on because you can't actually quantify how well one head and arrow type performed if they all pass through. You have to stop the arrow to measure how well it did against the others etc. Times and regulations have changed since then. What you are offering the bowhunting community a great service through these tests, and for that, I thank you. You have a large platform and community on KZbin. I think many people misunderstand the true value of this testing. There is nothing in an animal that acts like ballistic gel, cardboard, MDF, steel, or concrete. Just because a head does well on those mediums, does not mean it's going to do well on an animal IN ALL SITUATIONS. What it does mean, is if a head does better in those mediums THAN OTHER HEADS in those same mediums, that head specifically does better than the rest IN THOSE MEDIUMS. If one head outperforms all others in your videos, it means that it CAN have a better chance than the other heads tested in an actual hunting scenario. So I appreciate that you said that specifically. I know that you are a man of God and legitimately want to help this community. I know that you do not intend for anyone to misinterpret the info that you share. I think that marketing these days is kind of crazy and 90% of it is snake oil. I appreciate the effort you put into these videos, and the intention behind them. I thank you for your transparency, John. God bless you, and happy hunting!!!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for sharing a thoughtful response. I’ve begun to give bonuses for longer, narrower heads that do not perform as well in friction based mediums, to somewhat level the playing field.

[@PersonalBestOutdoors]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures fantastic. Doing so is another feather in your cap. Being unbiased in today's market and advertising driven world is a rarity.

[@brentbandy3566]

I bought these five years ago and was so excited about them but they were really dull out of the package and tough to resharpen. I’m going to have to dig them out and take your recommendation on resharpening. If Iron Will Bill put some time in on this concept he’d knock it out of the park.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They got a new owner four years ago. They changed the steel and the geometry as well. It was a big improvement.

[@jolookstothestars6358]

Great head. Im sure you know but they have just come out with an expandable. Looks interesting. 👍

[@hunterdan2002]

I just watched some videos on those and they had a ton of issues with the expandable blades breaking off just in the 10% gel within the first few inches of penetration.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I’d like to. But I already have broadheads tested and scheduled to post 2/week through November. Then I have another 30 waiting to be tested-which will be next year.

[@HouseBladeDesign]

Great looking head.....down fall to that head is it is impossible to get them scary sharp

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah. It would take some work.

[@Midwest283]

Ive come to really put an importance on the size of hole and the wound channel a broadhead makes. I dislike the drama that a faint blood trail causes and i just feel like blowing a rotational hole through a deer will cause more blood loss than a slit. What has been your experience?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

That’s a really good question. There are very different schools of thought on the matter. I did a video a couple years ago called: Broadheads & Blood Trails: Understanding the Connection. That may be of help.

[@jahbrother3602]

Bad ass.. that thing tried to rotate in the cinder block probably why it broke haha

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, that’s right.

[@ryankrilosky3066]

I believe “Tooth of the arrow” broadheads measure about the same size out front…. If not, they're close.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They’re close, but I’ve measured them and they’re slightly longer.

[@BraydenHammer13]

Hey can you do a re test of the Elite 3 Blade. I watched the first one nd just want to see if there is any difference between then and now.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I just did that. It’s scheduled to post in the weeks ahead

[@codysmith5403]

My wife tried them about 3 years ago and had terrible luck. She shot a doe and it hit the opposite shoulder and it smashed the broadhead I have never seen anything like it.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They now are using a much better steel, after the company was re purchased.

[@CEMuhlbeier]

The new construction is much better. 420ss CNC machined and hardened to 48 rockwell. One thing I noticed with this new design is that the bevel angle is much steeper/less sharp. The thing is they nearly made it flat when looking down the front of the broadhead. Meaning the flat part of the bevel hits sort of flat to the animal. Not the edge. If that makes sense. That's why it kind of hits like a slug now. It's going to mess some stuff up but the rotation is what is making it cut. I played around with the new design for a little bit but after some ******* push testing it's just not for me. And I'm all about causing mass carnage. The normal Elite 3b is still one of the best flying, silent solid heads though. Not sure how much I trust OzCut as a company though. Some sort of a corporation and made overseas. They don't even know anything about their product if you ask.

[@mitchimal]

They were the cheapest metal when they came out. They over spun the arrow and would hit lower at longer distances. They haven't got any Aussie owners anymore either. Very cheaply made heads

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They were recently acquired by a US-based company. They’ve improved a lot of the design. And the Steele. I have a test of the elite three coming out in a few weeks.

[@mitchimal]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures look forward to seeing your Gladius review. Been shooting them since they came out. Did my own little test with them on the weekend. 2mm steel plate and 19mm (3/4") form ply.. amazing results. So strong

[@mikenutto396]

Are you using a stainless steel insert in your arrow

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yes. I have a 125 gr hardened steel insert.

[@redbeard123]

What direction did it rotate in the gel left or right i shoot left helical vane thanks

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

It rotated to the right with my right veins

[@wcb5890]

Have you tested it on a bare shaft to see how much extra rotation it has?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I’ve not.

[@zhickman338]

I wonder if the single bevel actually helps the flight as well.🤷‍♂️

[@JohnLuskOutdoors]

Yes it does. Especially cause it has those grooves as well.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep

[@Bbbb4life]

Why do you think there is such a difference in penetration between gel and cardboard for this head?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I think the rotation really tore up the cardboard, but also hindered the penetration.

[@deftink0236]

Pretty much what he said. The rotation causes extra drag in cardboard, especially with 3 blades. The tanto tip doesn't help either for that specific medium. Long & sleek will always pierce better in cardboard than short & squat, lol.

[@mikenutto396]

Welcome home by the way

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you!

[@davefisher5196]

I was surprised as a single bevel how dull it is. That dullness and steep angle of blades showed up when shooting into the cardboard

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Well, I don't think that's what caused the penetration issue in the cardboard. The sharpness was average for one piece, 3 blade heads. But the rotation, even in the cardboard (which is very rare) hindered the penetration.

[@davefisher5196]

@@LuskArcheryAdventures do you think the high rotation added it in its penetration?
