TOOTH of the ARROW 1" SOLID 100 gr & 125 gr BROADHEAD TEST--2 of the Best in 2022

Just got my 100 gr solid 1 inch in the mail. Went out and shot one at 20 30 and 40 and they absolutely shoot like my field points but my bow is also tuned. Your vidoes is why i buy different heads lol. So far the sevr 1.75 have been my favorite. After watchimg your videos on them i had to get them a d was really surprised on how tuff they are i took 3 deer this past season with the same sevr head

[@arttrumbo9496]

I had the original tooth of the arrow 125 grain heads a few years ago. I shot two deer with them, and they killed just fine and penetrated well enough, but both broadheads came out with bent blades and neither was a pass-through. I ended up switching broadheads due to the durability issues. I really like the look of these non-vented heads and might give TOTA another chance.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, the solid blades are a lot tougher on angled shots. The vented held up well with frontal impacts, like my testing does. But hitting bones at angles is a completely different issue. I expect these to be more durable.

Would love to see Stay Sharp make their sharpener again. I believe the Tooth of the Arrow sharpener is only one grit. A changeable grit sharpener would get these scary sharp

[@optimuscrime608]

I use different grit sandpaper on top of the tota sharpener. I have a set of 175non vented that will shave hair

[@GBBLGBL]

Ordered the XL (1 3/16”) solids the day they were introduced. I really liked the XL vented, but in my testing I had blades get pretty beat up at times. My guess this might be why they are now doing solids. One of THE BEST spinning broadheads out of the box. Literally perfect without any insert readjustment. I also have the same sharpness tester and 200 is really good out of the box and retention of 300 is above average in my opinion. 300 is higher than many straight out of the box! Just wish there was a better option than the TOTA sharpener, I own it and I am not a fan. Anyone else know of something better? Does Stay Sharp have something that can sharpen a one piece four blade? Thanks for the test JL!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, it just wasn't cost effective for them.

[@justinskelton4197]

I am having a hard time deciding on which head to purchase for my first elk hunt. I am stuck between the ozcut elite 3, annihilator xl, and TOTA. All 125 gr. Total arrow weight is 525gr. They all got 10 golden arrows last year so I know they'll all work, but I was just curious what you would choose in the 3-4 blade, one piece head, in the $15-20 per head range. Love the channel. Keep up the good work

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Man, those are all good choices. And I'd add in the Slick Trick SS3. This year, my scoring system will make the number of 10s very very low. With your arrow weight, if you're wanting a one piece head, I'd go with the TOTA solid. They penetrate and fly as well as those others, but man, they punch a nice hole. At one point, for elk, I had the first 2 arrows in my quiver as TOTA XLs, then the next 3 were the 1". I figured on a closer shot, I could use the XL and get an even bigger hole...then if I had a longer shot, I'd go with the 1". But I'd be confident using any of the heads you mentioned.

[@justinskelton4197]

I sure appreciate the input! Great job with the channel

[@milkrvr4088]

Don’t buy the ozcut I got some and they were so dull out of the box it wouldn’t even cut skin I went from ozcut elite to tooth of the arrow and it’s not even close tooth of the arrow is razor sharp and they shoot great the ozcuts shot horrible penetrated horribly we had an outfitter here in Montana bring 4 packs back for the same reasons I had don’t do it

Interesting. I tested the S-series against originals and two other 2 blade heads I had. One of those 2 blade heads had bleeders. I used my 48# longbow and the new S-series out penetrated everything every time so it’s interesting that at much faster speeds, the originals out penetrated the new series.

John, great video and review as always.

Great video as always 👍 if you had to pick one between TOTA, which one would you pick? Solid, vented, original, or xl?

I'd definitely go with the Solid and the size would depend on the animal I'm hunting and the distance of the shot. Bigger animal and longer distance--1"; shorter distance and smaller animal--XL.

[@Tylerstallings1]

I think it would be interesting to test the vented lineup. I found they bent on two different deer this year. Great video!

[@-lovefromnh]

I shot a vent 125 gr XL through a nice 8 pointer at 33 yds this year. It went through the on-side scapula and out above it's elbow on the off-side and stuck in the ground. He went exactly 30 yds and piled up. The broadhead spins true and I was able to resharpen without issue. Mileage may vary. I know John has already tested them before with his old standard. Maybe switch to the solids? I bet that would take care of your issue. That is unless they bent at the ferrule. Good luck out there! -Love from NH

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I've tested all of the vented heads as well. They perform very well. But on an angled shot, or hitting a heavy bone at an angle, any blade can get fairly damaged. The Solids will be a bit more durable on those kind of shots.

[@michaelherrell5381]

Good test. Great broadband.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you

[@andrewsujka2758]

I really in-joy your show add the way you test the different broad heads. I have one request can you measure the size of the hole in the steel plate after you shoot into it. This is so we the viewer can see the diameter of the hole which that specific broad head made . I just purchased the QAD Exodus 125 grain and i was thinking of purchasing the Tooth of the Arrow 150 grain solid broad head. Could you please measure the two holes in the steel plate and get back to me. thank you

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thanks for the comment. The hole is really going to be the same as the diameter of the heads--can't be larger & can't be smaller. But the center of the hole is the issue. Some heads make a wide punch cut out of the center; It all depends on the angle of the tip as it connects with the blades. Exodus & TOTA and other one piece heads all make solid punch cut holes.

[@controversialhunter8032]

Gotta say , I actually have killed a deer with the older vented style. Now I didn't hit any bone. But had a complete pass though at 80yrds. The toothofanarrow actually held up great. Had a little ding in one blade and it sharpened right up plus didn't change the flight. I was pretty impressed with them

[@controversialhunter8032]

Don't want to hear any crap about taking an 80 yrd shot. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. But I took it because I live in a state where cover wasn't great, and I was nailed by the buck and there was no way to get closer. But also I practiced out to 110 yrds every day for many mo. Although I have faith in not just my equipment but in my self. Not only did I kill that deer but it was a heart shot. The deer ran 25 yrds maybe, but I am one that doesn't believe the deer suffered for 25 yrd. I believe the deer actually died, as soon as my arrow stopped his heart. From there nerves & adrenaline carried it 25 yrds. Living in a high desert area, sometimes you just don't have the ability to get as close as we all would like. Even though I was successful on that hunt. I've changed my mind on shots like that. I've decided even though I can make that shot. I think I'm going to limit myself to 50 yrds max. My only real regret on that hunt was not turning on my camera . But I did have a friend standing 10 feet away who saw it. His exact words were, "That was the coolest thing I've ever seen!"

How many concrete tests do you average before the arrow shaft fails? That’s a crazy amount of pressure and abuse they withstand.

[@officerfoxtrot3633]

I’ve watched a ton of his videos. This is the only one that you could clearly see the shaft fail. Some of the ones that bounced backwards too quickly may have failed, or some may have developed small cracks, but this is the only catastrophic fail out of all his videos. Bishop Arrows are a completely different level of premium equipment. Expensive, but damn near indestructible.

The best you can do with a crossbow is a top tier mech-like the Sevr Robusto. Zero planing and a huge cut and very durable head. Check out my tests on Sevrs. If you’re wanting a fixed, then a Tooth of the Arrow 1” 4 blade is a great choice.

[@huntsail3727]

Great videos, excellent analysis. Question: I watched several of your videos now and it seems like most of the broadheads you review are rated as good, with a nod going to the QAD Exodus. How do we sort through all of the comments to see what broadhead will best fit our needs? Is there a spreadsheet that combines your results? I am looking to drop in draw weight next season due to some physical issues, i.e., 70lbs to 55lbs. Because of this, I was going to go from a mechanical broadhead to a fixed blade setup with a higher FOC than I currently shoot. Once my bow is tuned I expect my broadheads and field points to be similar out to 40yds but they do not have have to be identical only group just as well. For hunting purposes, I am not concerned about anything beyond 40 yds. How do use your testing work to settle on the best broadhead for what I will be shooting?

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you. I posted a link to an excel spreadsheet with all the test scores of my 2021 testing--it was last December and was called something like Broadhead Test Scores & Summary 2021. I will be doing the same this year, with my new test regimen. My tests rate things like flight, penetration, sharpness, edge retention & durability. Each person has different bow/arrow specs and is pursuing different sized animals, so a specific recommendation varies with each person. My goal is to select a head that will be accurate at my shot distance, give me a good chance at a pass through, not bend or break while it is passing thru an animal, and will retain its edge...and one that can do all that while having the widest cut possible. That's a lot of dynamics to juggle, but the testing helps. For fixed blade options with your set up, if you're pursuing elk and smaller game, I would recommend the Exodus or Tooth of the Arrow. A lot of heads can work just fine, but those two really balance all the important requirements very well, and are in the normal price range. Iron Will makes incredible heads as well, but are quite a bit pricier. Hope that helps.

Would that be good to go again? Is there a number you look for?

[@papajohnsy6659]

200 is extremely sharp, and 300 after the penetration test is really good. A lot of heads that people hunt with come from the factory around 350 or 400. On deer sized game or hogs I would say that it's good to go again, but on something like elk I would probably touch it up a bit.

[@davidgreer9567]

Thanks for reply. Papa Johnsy

It's just a simple 3 blade design with replaceable blades. Truthfully it reminds me a lot of the Muzzy Trocar. So in theory yes that 3 to 1 design may be better but in the real world there's not really a measurable difference. The only thing you can guarantee with a long narrow head is something that will bend or break easier. Honestly a lot of Ranch Fairy's theories don't seem to hold up well in modern compound bow hunting.

Yeah, 3:1 is great for wheel chair ramps...but has little to do with something moving at 280 fps. "Mechanical advantage" is way over rated for today's high speed bows.

Short and stout is better all around. Less noise, less air drag, less bone and flesh drag, more accurate, better penetration, significantly stronger. Ranch Fairy knows a thing or two, but the 3 to 1 hypothesis that probably originally came from Ashby just isn't holding up in John's and others' tests.
