Which FIXED BLADE Broadhead Stands On Top?

[@deannewbold]

I am a deer tracker in southern Illinois ,I get calls almost daily to track deer during season. Ive had as many as 20 calls a day during the first week in November ,Which I only do three at most, I would bet that 75% of my calls are mechanical heads with no penetration.I do recommend a quality fixed blade to my customers,or if there dead set on a mechanical I encourage them to shoot higher poundage and a heavier arrow, and also aim more toward the cavity and to stay away from bone. This is just friendly advice fromsomeone who has been on hundreds of archery tracks . Have a blessed day.....

[@deannewbold]

I said cavity . I meant to clarify the stomach cavity area, stay away from the shoulder area with any mechanical. A whitetail shot through the guts with a big mechanical is a dead deer! Yoiu just have to give it plenty of time, I wait 24 hours with zero pressure on the deer. Success rate is very high, However its a terrible way for the deer to die...

[@Liz_S702]

Yeah, what he says! You guys are giving bowhunters a bad name using mechanicals but the horrible suffering you are putting the animal through is inexcusable.

[@tray22]

In our hunting group the worst blood trails and overall performance has been with mechanical broadheads. Some mechanical heads seem to be made better than others like Sevr but even those just have to much risk imo to shoot at a living animal. In my hunting group of 5 hunters 3 that are active in archery we all switched to fixed heads and never looked back.

[@dustinc7393]

@@tray22when you say fixed are you talking 2 or 3 blade? I switched to single bevel 2 blades 3 years ago and the blood trails are terrible. Makes tracking any deer at night very hard. I never had an issue before switching and never lost any deer either. Since switching I’ve lost 2 deer. One i found at a later date but the meat was bad and the other i placed the arrow right behind the shoulder buried to the fletchings. Never found a drop of blood or the deer. Ill be switching back to the g5 montec. Change my mind

[@tray22]

@@dustinc7393 I love the g5 montec. I switched to a single bevel two blade for better steel so I could get it sharper. I still have two packs of montec heads and one of them has killed 3 deer. You can get a bad blood trail with any head. The blood trail is more about the shot placement, sharpness of the broadhead, and getting two holes with one lower.

Shot mechanicals for years and had 2 separate brands not deploy and 1 non recovery due to a shoulder shot. I have shot Iron Wills for 4 years now and killed 13 whitetail deer with them so far. I agree they give off inconsistent blood trails but who cares when they don't go more than 60 yards and die? I agree shot placement is king, but animals move...I've blown through multiple shoulder blades and had complete pass throughs...I think the lack of blood trail is well worth the confidence to break bone in a not so ideal shot placement and the confidence to take quartering to shots.

[@Blackbear2025]

I know I'm behind the times but i still use the old 3 blade Muzzy. Never had one fail,good blood trails,good accuracy and their cheap. They've never let me down.

[@derricknibert3429]

Is anyone else absolutely blown away by how quiet it sounds like his bow is shooting? I’d love to see that setup video

[@coryedd3783]

I just switched to fixed for this year from mechanicals since the 1990s. I went with Grim reaper micro hades pro in 100 grain to match my field points. They hit where I am aiming out to 30-35 yards with no additional tuning!!! I won’t shoot anything past 40 so longer distances aren’t relevant in my situation but I firmly believe these would still group out to 60. Good video!

[@justins1465]

I tune my grim reaper micro hades pro up to 90 yards. They fly amazingly accurate. I would never take a shot that far but it is nice to be confident in the equipment and test its limits. Both elk the last 2 years were under 40.

[@jfphotography69]

Nothing flies and kills like the slick trick, from compound bow to crossbow. Been using the 100 grain heads for over 20 years.

[@k9leadstheway531]

First year doing archery and took down a nice 5x5 bull. Ran slick trick standard head with rip tko arrows. Double lunged him at 55. Super blessed.

[@justins1465]

Did the same but with the grim reaper micro hades pro

[@jodystamper9105]

After 30+ years of bow hunting and killing 200+ deer and playing the mechanical/fixed blade game for several years, my new rule of thumb is I shoot both. In my Mathews quiver I have 2 Sevr's, 2 muzzy trocars, and an old arrow (used for coyotes). My thought process is mechanicals in the morning when the light is good and getting better I can see good and make a shot staying away form the shoulder. And fixed blades in the afternoons when the light is fading and I can't see near as good and my chances of hitting the shoulder go way up but even if I do, I'm certain I'll get to the vitals if not a pass through and recover the deer. So far this has worked great for me over the past 4 years. Haven't lost anything. Your right, shot placement is everything. $5 dollar Walmart broadhead put in the right spot will kill a deer all day long.

[@johnnewcomb5162]

I have a friend who shot the cheap Allen broadheads 40-70 yards he took mule deer out west. New broadhead Everytime. The trocar have really good penetration and complete passthrough on deer and elk even with 40 lbs and 400 grains arrows out of a few woman's bows. Shot placement.

[@jeffcordero_]

I will have 2 Ironwill 125s in my quiver this year as well on top of my mechanicals. I do like your thought process behind it.

[@randyferreira5265]

Have had good luck with qad exodus and slick trick mags!Well done good broadhead test .

[@royhoglund1322]

I'm shooting 60 lbs at 27" so I built up Some Black Eagle X-Impact 350s with the Iron Will Snyder Core System and an impact collar all epoxied in as a single unit. They have been amazing on whitetails, mule deer and elk.

[@vfonte218]

The QAD and tooth of the arrow were most consistent weight wise. I use ramcats and love them as far as mechanicals go I lime the sevrs...and i would still use rocket sidewinders!

[@DerwinRodriguez-x8i]

That's was awesome. Very gracefull that you pray before any hynt That's great.

[@wswillett]

Nothing better than Iron Will or QAD Exodus according to John Lusks broadhead testing. And Sevr expandables for the Mechanicals.

[@jeremygregory7178]

I’ve had pretty good luck with the montecs. I can’t get them super sharp but sharp enough. The montecs fly really well also. Blood trails are ok if shot placement is good.

[@amarotovar7256]

Good stuff, good to see a well thought out distance accuracy test

[@jameswilson5562]

Slick trick and qad exodus cant go wrong

[@StealthTRD]

Facts. Thats the simple truth..love my qads but slicks are a close second

[@endoftheroadoutdoors]

Using Tooth of the arrow this year, I was hitting side by side with field points in target practice.

[@brucealbright4405]

[@jasonard7227]

Ive had great results with the iron will and the qad

[@richardfiske6311]

Agreed with the blood trail comments. I've killed two elk with the IW's and it's a valid concern. My thought is to carry both in the quiver and lean towards fixed early in the day and mechanicals later in the day or if there is rain which would make trailing problematic.

[@jeffcordero_]

Ill be carrying evolution outdoors mechanical and some Ironwill 🤘🏻

[@mgt5009]

VPA has a huge selection of fixed blade heads. When I started hunting, I used 3 blade thunderheads and still prefer 3 blades. I’ve used the g5 montec and found that the sintered metal isn’t very tough, they will roll the point and dull fast after impact on an animal. They are also crazy loud from the vents and I feel like meat and flesh gets caught up in the vents hurting their penetration. VPA makes non vented 3 blades in tool steel hardened to around 50 with a pyramid tip instead of a sharp point to stop tip roll over, awesome broadheads if 3 blades are your thing. I’ve had nothing but success with them. Good luck to everyone this 2024-2025 season!

[@jonah-n8l]

Cost to much

[@PoeOutdoors]

@@jonah-n8lA 3 pack of VPA 3-blade broadheads is less than $60 and they are literally the last heads you will ever buy. Hunters spend $2,500+ on a bow and accessories, then screw a $15 garbage head on the tip of their arrows because they’re “too expensive”. It makes zero sense.

[@jonah-n8l]

A couple of my friends use the Sevr hybrid 1.5 this year with 100% performance results. They have taken six deer none of which over 85-90 yards. Some fell within 450-45 yards. That headlight would be one I would even begin to consider.

[@dominickgeloso6312]

I feel like you should do accuracy test at 40 to 50 because that’s as far as most hunters shoot but I understand 70 for showing the variance

Always great seeing you testing products and shooting long range!🏹🎯👍😊 Best wishes for your hunting adventures this season!🏹🦌🩸🥰 God Bless you and your family 🙏😇❤️🇺🇸

[@timbow50]

I started bow hunting 60+ years ago when there was only like three broad heads. Fred Bear razor with little bleeders. I’ve never shot any mechanical which came along many many years later and killed I don’t know how many deer, antelope, a few elk and dozens of wild pigs with fixed blade heads. Sure, there have been poor blood trails. I can remember loosing three deer, actually two because one showed back up alive a couple weeks later. My head of choice without any failures ( lost deer or pigs) for about 10 years? now is Magnus black hornets w/bleeders. They originally didn’t have bleeders. On a properly tuned setup they will fly with field points to 60 that I know because I can get those results myself.

[@DeathByPurpleLongbow]

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

I found out a long time ago three blade broadheads (edit: I have not tried Valkyrie style three blade) tend to wedge and stick in bone without punching through and have stuck to two blades ever since. That said, I think Cutthroats single bevels are the best broadhead for the money. 41L40 tool steel is a far better steel than the Ironwill's A2, which only has better corrosion resistance.

[@mgt5009]

@michaelvstheworld3680 I’ve actually had high shoulder pass throughs with a g5 montec in the past. In one shoulder, out the other shoulder, didn’t get stuck. It’s happened 3-4 times. I’m sure anything is possible as they are definitely a wedge, and I’m not saying you’re wrong as it’s your experience. Just sharing an experience as Ive used 3 blades exclusively for about 20 years now.

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

@mgt5009 I have no doubt and have seen them blow through the thin upper part of the scapula, but they are not getting through the bottom half of the scapula or top of the humerus. I shot the Montec back in 07 when I switched over from trad to compound. I had a 458 grain arrow coming out of 29"/ 75# bow, and I shot a doe quartering towards at 18 yards. Put the arrow right where the heart would be, but I had those thick bones in the way, and they stopped that arrow dead in its tracks. It was the loudest THWACK I had ever heard still to this day. She survived, but that day, I decided to build my compound arrows the same way as my trad arrows. No bone on a whitetail can stop my arrows now.

[@jonah-n8l]

Found out long ago 3 blade heads make a better blood trail

[@michaelvstheworld3680]

@user-sp9hy8tq4j I found out long ago that if you actually aim at the heart and front of lungs, you will break their humerus most of the time as well, and not track them at all.

[@jonah-n8l]

@@michaelvstheworld3680 I’ve hit about 30 percent of my archery deer in the heart and never hit the humerus

[@CryptoHuntinDad]

Blood trails don't matter when you hit bone, mechanical blades bounce off bone, the reason I switched back to fixed is I had the biggest buck of my life quarter to me and I hit the front shoulder and my arrow bounced off him. Went in like 2 inches and fell out buck was fine, now I blow threw both front shoulders with pass threw. I shoot the 200 gr cut throat. I know they are really expensive but worth it if you kill a 175 inch buck or bigger.
