WORLD’S LARGEST CUT & THICKEST BLADES in a one piece head-BISHOP JUMBO 315 gr Broadhead Test

[@garrettschienschang7898]

Also I used your discount code with crimson talon and essentially got 6 heads for $56 after shipping. Thanks for all the amazing reviews

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Nice. Those are quite the value!

[@bishoparchery]

Appreciate the video and comments John! Awesome!!! Thought the review was more than fair for this niche type of North American Big Game head. Firstly, just to clarify, while we have harvested big game with compound bows in prototypes for six years and the 315 grain works great for compound bows, I have primarily used this 315 grain with 22 inch arrow/bolts for crossbows and my traditional archery bows. The 315 is my personal favorite for North America Big Game with my Crossbows and my Traditional archery bows. Secondly, unlike the awesome serrated stone points and Magnus heads in our collection that I adore over the years...there is no cutting device between the planned mechanical cutting like on stone points, a Magnus, or a SteelForce. (There is no cutting device between the planned mechanical cutting by design and it does not exist in the prior art). Thirdly, just as lightweight sub IBO 5 grains per pound micro diameter arrows and high FPS thin bladed broadheads will always penetrate the best in friction based arrow stopping mediums such as ballistic gel, layered foam targets and cardboard...... but not so much so in big game, we have yet to fail to get a passthrough on North America Big Game over the last six years with the Jumbo 3 in 100-315 grain prototypes. That record will end with a knuckle or femur, I am certain...but even with my little 45 pound Shrew longbow = 100% passthroughs on numerous big game over the last six years. Fourthly, 315 geains is not for everyone, but check out a milder version of the Jumbo 3 in 125 grains for North America Big Game that is more geared towards compounds. Fifthly, check out my free e-book The Edge Bevel Integrity Continuum at Bishop Archery. Lastly, God Bless everyone and regardless of the brand of broadhead or bow 🏹 you shoot from a longbow through a crossbow - praying 🙏 for nothing but passthroughs for you all as at the end of the day we are a passthrough driven R&D outfit and for North America Big Game this Jumbo 3 tested 100 percent passthroughs on humdreds of animals over six years. Though keeo in mind femurs and knuckles of even deer can stop even our 600 grain single bevel sometimes. Check out that free E-Book over at Bishop Archery, normally $7.99 but right now free at Bishop Archery. God Bless You All, Sean and family over at Bishop Archery 💘

I read about your surgery a few weeks back. Hope everything is well!

[@bishoparchery]

Can't really get into commenting on these chat boards very much, as just like vanilla or chocolate ice cream 🍨... everybody is passionate about the flavor ice cream they eat, or brand truck they drive etc. However, it is not debatable as tough as our Steel Footed Arrows and 100-600 grain broadheads are....this guy John Lusk is tougher....one of the toughest and kindest hearted human beings on the planet 🌎 and one of the best adventure bowhunters to ever live. Rest up John, we adore you and are praying for you ❤️

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you. I wish I could say I’m all better now, but it is going to be a long road. The physical therapist said it would be 8 to 12 weeks after the surgery before I can shoot a bow.

You can really tell how big of a hole these punch with the steel plate test! I got a good laugh at that point in the video. Those square cuts into the edge really do change the cut pattern. I am tempted to machine some channels like that into a more reasonable weight, one piece head like an Annihilator XL or something similar. I would assume the results would be the same. Great video John!

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

They are coming out with 125 grain version. I have a bunch of them to test and I’m eager to do so, as soon as my back heals up. They sure do look cool.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Thank you. Funny; I’m wearing it right now. It’s my favorite :) It’s made by Bow Adx.

[@georgewashington1621]

John, if you dont mind telling, how many shots into the cinder block does that arrow you're using for tough shots usually survive? Or does it survive all of them and you're still using the same one? I've run into a situation where i'm travelling with a suitcase and i cant bring any kind of target with me, but i bring my disassembled recurve bow and arrows with me. I've thought about getting some really tough arrows and just shooting them into a side of a hill for practice, i wonder if a set up can be made where the arrow will survive being shot into the dirt with rocks in it. What do you think about that? My recurve pulls around 50lb at my draw weight and isnt the fastest so energy wise its probably half of your compound bow at best.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I can typically get about 20 shots into the concrete. The arrow rarely breaks, but eventually the insert comes out. I often glue it back in and keep shooting it. If the insert gets too loose, then I shoot it into concrete, then sometimes the arrow will break. That’s really the only time that the arrow breaks. They also make an arrow called the GOAT that would never break. I use those for my crossbow bolts.

[@Jsfea01]

Great video! I’m confused by this broadhead. Has the weight that you would use on the biggest animals on the planet, yet has a cutting width that would limit you to smaller animals. I don’t see many deer hunters using a 315gr head nor do I see dangerous game hunters using a penetration-limiting massive cut head. Also, not saying they aren’t worth $67 a piece, but they really should be closer to 200 on the sharpness tester.

[@JohnLuskOutdoors]

It’s definitely a niche head. Some people like to hunt deer sized game with very heavy set ups-just to put them down on the spot. They also plan to come out with a lighter weight version that would be more commonly useful.

[@bobstoddard1796]

Could you do the entire test with the crossbow. Would really be interesting to see how the penetration is

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I may do that in the future. There is a growing crossbow audience for sure. That’s why I included the crossbow this year. But most of my audience are vertical shooters. So I don’t want to leave them out. I will see how it goes in the years ahead. Thank you for the suggestion.

Didn’t penetrate great but hit with quite some authority. Would be a great turkey head but I’m not sure about penetration on large game unless you have a very heavy bow/crossbow

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, it’s only designed for a very niche market. It’s for those who use a very heavy set up, like around 1000 grains or more. They generate enough momentum to really drive. Even this Broadhead deeply into a deer size animal.

[@FruitJuice92]

well it's impressive sharp despite the thickness but i don't know, it's so much but it still gives so less, i don't know how good this can be in 99% of every hunting situation, the drag it has is so big that i think this could only be really good when shooted out of a 100lbs bow or a very powerful crossbow

[@JohnLuskOutdoors]

Yeah, it is a niche head. There are people who hunt deer with very heavy set ups, just to put the deer down fast. They’re also coming out with a lighter version soon.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep

[@jolookstothestars6358]

Just started the video and can say already the blades are way too thick and that serration is no good. Magnus did that also and it just collects hair and brings it into the wound. If it penetrates 5 and a 1/2 inches I'll be surprised.

[@jolookstothestars6358]

Looks like I was right....only 5.25 inches of penitration. Make it about 200 grains without the serration and I'd take a look.👍

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

That was actually greater penetration than I was expecting. It definitely demands a lot of momentum to make it effective on an animal. It’s designed for people shooting very heavyweight set ups like around 1000 grains or so.

[@feralgrandad4429]

Think I'll try a 750 (ish) grain build with a 200g spine arrow and shoot it outs my 82lb OG PSE Omen. Even at my Hobbit 26.25 inch draw i recon it'll rock 😁😁

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

:)

[@aronslaght6639]

Sharpness was poor. Penetration was poor. Accuracy was good, not great. How does it score >90?

[@tommurph4496]

I think the accuracy was decent because of how slow it was going, if some of these heads were tested over300fps they would be like throwing curve balls.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Just look at the score sheet in the video description. Same parameters I use for testing every head.

[@austinhayes3901]

It’s cool and all, but in all seriousness why do you need a 315 grain head?

[@DIRTISTERRIBLE]

For that awesome penetration you get with very heavy setups...... Supposedly

[@jonah-n8l]

Exactly! You don’t even need a total arrow weight of over 400grains tbh

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

It’s a niche market. I’ve used Broadheads that heavy for very heavyweight situations, like Cape Buffalo. Bishop even makes a 600 grain Broadhead for that very purpose. Some people like hunting Whitetail with over 1000 grains, just to give them incredible momentum with a very large broadhead, so they can put the deer down immediately. People do that especially in suburban areas where they don’t want the deer to run in into someone’s yard, or in very thick areas where tracking would be a huge challenge.

[@rustinpeace7466]

For all those complaining about the price they are 12 for $250 at the moment. Split it with your buddies and try them out.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

:) and now they’ve come out with a 125 grand model that is really intriguing. They’re back at my house in Dallas waiting to be tested, but I’m stuck in Denver recovering from a pretty serious back surgery. Hopefully I’ll be able to test them in the early part of 2025.

[@rustinpeace7466]

​@@LuskArcheryAdventures Can't wait!

[@tolt1776]

Single bevels are the only broadheads that continue rotation while penetration id happening. All others dump energy and stop spinning. "Pushing" through if you are using anything other than single bevels. Try stabbing shit with your arrow by hand and see if you can twist it through any medium.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yep. That’s true-for whatever gain might be had by that continued rotation.

[@tolt1776]

@LuskArcheryAdventures the gain is gaping huge gashed out lethal wounds vs slits and cuts!

[@tommurph4496]

Thanks for all your testing, I go to your videos anytime I’m considering a new broadhead. I really pay close attention to the accuracy test. I noticed your xbow bolts are over 600gr which slows down the bolt a good bit. Is it possible to add in a lighter bolt so that your speeds are over 300fps? A lot of us shoot faster bows, and some of the heads don’t do well over 300fps, it would be nice to see that in the tests as well.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

I chose that weight so I could get a speed of right around 300 ft./s. That way it is a very comparable test of the aerodynamics at a compound bow speed. I understand there are other variables like Aero length and spine and so forth. But from a share speed perspective, it is very similar. to test them at 400+ feet per second would not be of any value to my compound bow audience, which is the vast majority of my viewers.

Yeah, it’s a very niche product. There are a number of people who prefer an extremely heavy set up for Whitetail. They like to aim right at the shoulder from any angle and they want the deer to just drop. I know people using well over 1000 grains for Whitetail for that very purpose. This head could certainly, work well for them. For the average Hunter, they really is not much use for this.

[@elncalls]

Hmm… getting a little silly these manufacturers.

[@LuskArcheryAdventures]

Yeah, it’s a very niche broadhead for a niche group of people. There are some who like to use super heavy set ups for Whitetail. Like 1200 grains. Or people shooting crossbows that want an extra heavy set up. For them, this could be, good use. But it is certainly not intended for the mainstream.

[@littlewoody5539]

I don’t think the head being so thick specially S7 tools steel it would be better with thinner blades .

Well, the thicker blades are, the wider the “blade” part of that wound channel. That’s a pretty wide path each blade is leaving, not to mention the overall cutting diameter.
