Xecutioner Broadheads
 
XECUTIONER Broadheads are a up in coming broadhead with a cutting diameter of 2.5 inches. This video explains everything about them. They are one of the best Broadheads out there. Check out this video and leave your comments and opinions.

I wasn't impressed with the broad head. Looks a lot like the Bloodtrailer broad heads and I thought those looked like they would shatter if they hit any bone. I won't be buying any Xecutioners any time soon.

Thank you for your opinion VTBoneCollector but I can assure you that these Broadheads are made with the best materials and would not shatter when they hit bone or something like that. I appreciate your feedback

Actually outdoor, they do break off blades on shoulder blade. Just like almost every other expandable. It's the nature of the beast. Not to mention the fact that because of their length, they throw off FOC a touch as well. And from 6 different testings I have seen, they don't fly all that even with Field points either. Expandable BH's, the 2 blade ones anyway, just do not leave a good blood trail period. You need that 3rd blade to open a good hole for blood. Will they sometimes leave a good trail? Of course they will SOMETIMES, but is it reliable? Absolutely not. With just 2 blades leaving a tiny little slit they seal up and barely leak at all. Hence why Muzzy, G5, Bacon Skinners, TT Shuttle T-Lock and Terminal T-Lock, QAD Exodus and the SI Bloodshot just to name a few blow bigger outright HOLES on both entry AND exit. It really doesn't matter if you get a pass through if the deer is leaving little to no blood trail does it?

Thank you super_hunt54 I agreed with you that they break off when they hit the shoulder blade just like any Broadhead would do but after seeing certain videos and pictures I can't believe it does not leave a good blood trail. I haven't tried these for myself so I can't really say anything negative. But I can't see how this broadhead going through the deers lungs would not do the job. With 2.5 inch cutting going through that deers lungs it's dropping. Thank you for your opinion.

Dropping? In over 40 years of bow hunting I have only seen one deer "drop" and that was one I shot straight down through the spine. Broadheads do not kill with Hydrostatic shock like firearms produce, they kill with Hemorrhagic shock. They bleed out. It's a very rare thing that a deer doesn't run 50 yards or more after a Bow hit. If they are in the rough then you have to find blood or be a dang good "hoof" tracker. Without a "bleeder" blade to open up the hide those thin little slits made by those 2 blades just won't cut the mustard in leaving an acceptable blood trail. And if a plastic pail can break the blade off one of them then I would have to surmise that a rib bone would break one off as well.

Yes they will do the damage internally as will just about any BH made out there but placing your shot into the vitals is only one part of the equation. FINDING it after the shot is the other part.

My first deer ever killed was dropped and just like you I shot it right through the spine. But back to what we are talking about what you are telling me is a shot through the vitals and exiting with a 2.5 inch broadhead will not leave a good blood trial... I believe that is where you have to hit a deer and if you are hitting a deer in the ribs you need to readjust your bow sight or stop hunting. The broadhead is not designed to go through a rib or shoulder bone... Although I have seen it break it and go through it but back to my point you shouldn't be hitting a deer in the rib because just like you are saying the blade has a better chance of coming off and there will most likely be no blood trail... Again it's called the lungs and vitals and I guarantee you if you shoot the deer there in the lungs or vitals the blades will not break and the blood trail will be all over the place.

Okay, now you are really showing your extreme lack of knowledge young man. Could you please point out to me, and everyone else here on this site, just WHERE you can hit a whitetail deer in the vitals WITHOUT hitting rib or shoulder? You are obviously trying to sell a product and that I have no problem with. What I DO have a problem with is trying to sell a product with absolutely NO experience with said product and obviously, judging from the statement you just made, no practical knowledge of a Whitetail deer anatomy.

And you obviously have not grasped my point about the 2 blades. It doesn't matter that they are 2.5 inches long. What matters is because of 2 blades being THIN they will not leave an exit or entry wound that the hide wouldn't just seal up. A three bladed Broadhead, most of them, will blow a hole that won't seal back up. It's plain and simple. I am not saying that they won't kill the deer, I'm stating that because of the 2 blade design, a deer will not leave a very good blood trail.

And just to set your mind at ease, I have hunted all over North America. I'm well established in the hunting community, have studied Whitetail Deer as well as all other Deer species with some of the best wildlife biologists in the states. And no I'm not some fake big game hunter on video's hunting drugged or canned deer like 75% of the advertisers have on payroll.

Before you promote a product, especially a promotion on a venue like this web site where many of us are highly experienced hunters and have been hunting game since before you were born, you need to have all your facts straight or you come off like an uneducated and inexperienced person.

...Deleted by CalHunter... I don't need to say anything else your point is invalid and although I can understand something's you are saying the rest is wrong. If you would like to comment about the blades and how they are thin and will break check out this video where they tear through a 1/4" thick pale: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikbrNwpH37c it is perfect no breaks or bends it's perfectly in contact. Anything else you would like to argue about you "experienced hunter" I'm ready for.

Hey outdoor lifestyle, if your trying to start a career in the hunting world, I don't think it's wise to bicker with people on these sights. What super hunt54 is saying is that the 2 blade heads will not leave a blood trail as well as a 3 bladed head and I can't disagree with him or her. Maybe super hunt54 is being a little harsh and coming off a bit to strong, but what he or she is saying appears correct to me. If you look at the diagram, your going to hit the shoulder blade or ribs on a broadside shot, no doubt. The only way you won't is if the animal is sharply quartering away. No sense in arguing the truth.
