toxic vs pharmakon Broadhead ballistic gel test | bco review |

[@timtate4210]

Thanks to you guys for all of your hard work and time spent on making all the videos on broadheads. Very much appreciated! Being a broadhead junky, I gave the Toxics a try just to see what would happen. I have shot 2 deer with these and my results were phenomenal. My second score was earlier this year on a huge doe. 65 lb bow and Gold Tip Kinetic Kaos arrow. The shot was 35 yards, the broadhead entered the left scapula ridge and exited dead center of the right leg bone. I wasn't trying for all that bone by the way. The arrows fletching got hung up in the leg bone on exit. I was shocked quite frankly on the penetration. I did sharpen the broadhead before with some tightly rolled 1200 grit sandpaper so it was razor sharp. The deer ran a total of 30 yards. The damage it did was crazy! One set of blades got a little damaged and flared out. The toxic is beveled on one side only and designed to flare outward. They are definitely worth using, they simply work and work well. They fly like lasers out of all my bows and exactly like all my other heads. I also have the Pharmakons ready to go this weekend. They fly very well too. Hopefully, I will connect on another deer and can reply back with positive news but admittedly, it's hard not using the Toxic. I have also had GREAT success with their Cyclone cousins the past few seasons. The heads may look weird, but they are just outright killers!!! Thanks again for all you guys put into these tests.

happy they work for you, regardless it ain't my cup of tea but im stoked to hear such positive feedback from them thats awesome!

[@micaharchibald4489]

If your bow is tuned right they fly perfect.....

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Didn’t for me clearly

[@dannyloftis3949]

They shoot fine in the wi d in a crossbow.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Hell ya!

[@dannyloftis3949]

I use this in my 415 ripper crossbow shot big buck at 65 yards cored him out big time he ran 40 yards . Biggest hole and more blood than I ever seen

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Hell ya!

[@ethanfeatheroff9135]

I wanted to recommend to you guys to try out the crimson talon G2 broad head with the twisted blades they just came out with a new design this past year and they say it guides the blades with the twist of them and that they cork screw all the way threw the animal they say there field point accuracy love to see your opinion

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I just ordered some crimson talon’s unsure if it’s the design or not!

[@ethanfeatheroff9135]

Awesome man I love your reviews thanks for sharing your knowledge and opinion with us

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Thanks man means more than you know! Glad you dig it & get value out of it!

[@tylerisbell3989]

Do a review on slick truck grizz trick

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s on the list!

[@matt21945]

I shot the toxic for 2 seasons. Back around 2014 2015. I quit using them because of their low accuracy. One shot would be dead on one would be 6" right next one 6" high. You couldn't bow tune or arrow tune them to be accurate.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I could see that as an issue with that design it better be damn near perfect between all 3 plus wind could be a huge issue

[@nickhanford9374]

The toxic heads work well with crossbow... makes a nice blood trail and held up well

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I can imagine it would!

[@mariahrozak5510]

Can we get a video of who has the best “moose slap” on the gel!?! Lmao

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

We could make it work, if you’ve seen the first Broadhead test we ever did that’s what we always refer to 😂😂

[@justinlong3621]

I shot a doe at about 35 yards quartering to and the arrow still went another 20+ yards 👍. She made it 4 jumps

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s impressive!

[@KTMsoldier1988]

I have always been a little skeptical of these broadheads. They are crazy sharp i know that! However not for me! Keep up the good work fellas! 👍

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Thanks man my biggest fear is how thin the blades are, they look like they’d bust up on a shoulder or even ribs shot, I’ll be breaking out the car hood test again to really see what these Broadheads can stand up to

[@KTMsoldier1988]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA there is a video of the toxic being used on a moose at like 10 yds here on youtube....barely penetrated the shoulder....got the kill and had a good blood trail, but meh!....seen better performance with other heads.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Exactly it would work just don’t match my preferences regarding a Broadhead

[@brandondemers243]

Have you tried the dead meat or the meat eater?

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I believe we’ve done both a couple times just have to search them in the Broadhead test series

[@huntersmoonkennels59]

My 12 year old put a smackdown on a feral pig back in August with the Toxic. 16yds, Mission Radik, 50# draw, 25.5" draw length, 235gr, 500 spine TOTAL weight arrow. She went about 50yds and crashed.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Hell ya!

[@huntersmoonkennels59]

I should have added that he punched through a rib, zero damage to the blades.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

@@huntersmoonkennels59 very nice! Like I said in the video if it works don’t change a thing it’s just my opinion, I’ll be testing the durability shortly so eager to see how they hold up for me

[@trpe71]

Meat worms! Heard fist hand accounts that they are deadly, but no personal knowledge. I have some but cant hunt with them in Co...

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I was gonna say they are to small to hunt with in your state, I just don’t know about the durability of them, the design puts a lot of stress on those thin blades

[@afooutdoors3809]

Love the toxic heads never lost a deer but bigger fan of the orion and kratos from flying arrow archery 🏹 they are awesome orions fly like a dart long distance very accurate kratos just devastated deer

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Toxic’s design has a lot to do with this Broadhead, we have to re do the toxic & crimson talon test now that it’s warm out!

[@scottm2244]

That’s a C- head at best but a A+ sunset bud

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Thank you 💁🏽‍♀️😂

[@dwighth1633]

I know some people that used the toxics and said the holes kind of closed shut and didn't leave a blood trail

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s interesting...

[@tylerisbell3989]

Just admit you can’t hit center every time

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

No one hits center everytime, but I don’t miss much at 20 some broadheads just don’t fly true to a field point

[@tylerisbell3989]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA haha I’m just yanking on your leg

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I know brother I like it ahahaha

[@Sky-Warden]

I use the first gen Toxic. I shot a buck with one last season. It left a HUGE blood trail. I had spots of blood twice the size of my boot, and I wear size 13s. I use them on 20" bolts shooting from a Barnett Jackal crossbow. They work a lot better on crossbows for some reason. I can accurately hit my mark 25 yards away with them. A friend of mine agrees with you about them, but he has never used them with a cross bow.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Hey if they work for you brother that’s all we care about love hearing they treat ya right!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@boostimalaka1]

Did you experience a major adjustment was necessary to the scope when using field tips with a Crossbow. I am using a Barnett Crossbow at 375 F.P.S. Seems they shoot a little low to the left. Definitely a better choice than using the Rage which was disappointing never opened on impact. The Toxic leaves a nice opening on impact for blood to spill out. A neat design.

[@jdibben29]

I've seen three deer personally shot w them. Wasn't impressed. One of the two snapped the blades off two sides catching the bottom edge of a shoulder blade. Was w a 175 lb crossbow ill admit

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That is what I was worried about, I know a guy that tried em and the blades broke off inside the deer, that is the ultimate nightmare

[@jdibben29]

Ya I wasn't amused either. Especially when I walked up on it about three hours later and had too put another one in it. He got one of them blades stuck in the back of his hand while gutting it

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s my biggest fear, and that is exactly why blade strength is important and why I test the blades to the extreme because of that reason there

[@dangdang8106]

Small cut dang dude they punch holes in foxes clean through a fox and leaves like a 50cent coin size

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

7/8th’s cut is not a big cut actually in some states that size cut isn’t even a legal Broadhead to take afield for that reason

[@hunteradamson5024]

Shot a mule deer buck at 72 yards. Flew true the deer only made it 20 yards and I watched him die. Heaviest blood trail I’ve ever seen. It was in Idaho so I had to shoot fixed. If not for that it would be grim reaper expandable.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

Which head?

[@hunteradamson5024]

It was the pharmakon on the deer in Idaho. They literally make tubes of meat when they go through a heart. It was brutal. My favorite grim reaper is the 1-3/8 pro series.

[@ericplatt3390]

I have a close friend that uses these exclusively on turkey for 10/12 years I will tell you on 4 accounts it destroys them.however he does not use them for deer.it slug holes turkey LOL.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

I can imagine it would on a turkey, why doesn’t he use them on deer?

[@ericplatt3390]

@@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA he uses traditional during or for deer and compound for turkey. So I’m thinking that’s why. He’s around 65 so I think he enjoys different archery sets.he uses a long bow for elk too with heavy wood arrows which he has actually killed a few.

[@BlueCollarOutdoorsUSA]

That’s badass I love it!

[@jacobaldridge579]

I shoot 60 yards with toxic awesome head blew through a 520 lb black bear at 30 yard. I never tracked and animal with those.
