Default Kenetic Energy

A pretty Good Kenetic Energy test that I have found that I am curious to see how other broad heads hold up to. It is also a broad head durability test.

Get an inch thick board, and a layered form Target. Shoot a broadhead threw the board into the layered form Target at 30 yards.

and if you are feeling really adventuress, put the board on the back of the layered foam target, and shoot the arrow threw both.

and if your even more adventuress, get two one inch thick boards. and put one on the front of the layered foam target and one on the back.

Now If you choose to do this... It might ruin a few broad heads.

I am just curious.

Would be a killer test if one were hunting layered foam targets clad in inch-thick boards.

The animals I've come across however, have been made of neither layered foam or inch-thick boards.

New bow - $800
New arrows - $60
New broadheads - $35
Knowing you can easily take down a wooden box stuffed with shrink wrap - priceless?

How about a piece of foam broadhead target stuck to an outdoor trash can filled with water....
I did this test with my wife's bow.
