c903,
In all honesty I am sure that I could come up with another group of examples to apply to this situation but I do not think it would make much of a difference. The general intent of the example was the important point, not necessarily the specific example used.
I think it all boils down to one simple statement. If any given broadhead stands up to more abuse than it would typically withstand on a deer, or similar game animal, then chances are it is going to do very well on a deer as well.
Many of the broadheads that are not doing as well as others or are alleged to be poor performers (regardless of comparative aspects) in " 5 shot' s" experiments, are being used by many bowhunters who are reporting great performance and success; in total contradiction of the test results as reported by " 5 shot." What does that type of information tell you?
I agree. I definitely think that many people are influenced by the subsequent results of his tests.....and to a certain extent his tests are overkill...and because they are overkill I am sure that there are certain heads that do poorly in them that would do very well on actual game.
However, his tests do still allow us to compare head to head even if you cannot always apply their scores to how they will work on game.
