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.

As far as the Xecutioner braodheads go, you really should test them for yourself before you endorse them. Just saying!

I 100% agree with you and I'm not trying to bicker at all. My intention was never to argue. Like I said in all my comments I agree with him/her and was trying never to argue. I'm just trying to show a point and I understand his point as well. I agree with his point of 3 blades and with the whole incision on the deer and how it won't close up. I just got upset when he came after me that's all.

I tested them today by the way and it was just what I was expecting. I am editing the video now but I did shoot them at 20 yards through a 1/2 inch pale and it was perfect. My only negative with it was the opening on contact. It wasn't as I was expecting. I'm not one sided I take both sides with these Broadheads positive and negative.

With that being said, I wish you luck on your videos and I'll be watching what you have too say on other products.

I appreciate that and I hope you enjoy them. If you have any topics or things you would like discussed please let me know via YouTube or on here. I'm trying my best to grow my videos as well as in hunting and I appreciate you saying that.

VT was correct in the fact that I was being a bit harsh. You kinda irked me when you said I should "Readjust my bow sight or stop hunting" when I had simply stated that if a simple plastic bucket full of water will break a blade on those broadheads, a whitetail deer's ribs will destroy them! And you can NOT hit the vitals on a deer without rib or shoulder contact unless you shoot it at a 65 degree or more quartering away up through the gut.

And as far as my time on this site, I cut the internet thing for a few years but since I semi retired, I have came back. I've been on sites such as these for 20 years. Just couldn't remember my dern User Name and Password. Getting old sucks!

Now THIS blade from them I could very well gain some interest in


I like the "hybrids" a good bit.

I can agree with you on that. That blade is one of a kind and will certainly do the job. Thank you super_hunter54

Keep your questions and opinions coming. Leave them on here or on the video and I will perosonally get back to you. Remember to subscribe to my channel for more exciting hunting videos. A field test for these Broadheads is coming very soon

You watched some videos regarding these broadheads but you have no experience other than shooting them into a bucket of water! Young man, I was starting to have sdome sympathy for you because of your inexperience and your other post trying to tell experienced hunters what they need for basic deer hunting. However, you need to regroup, get some years of real experience under your belt and stop trying to pretend you know what you are doing and then perhaps you will have some credibility. Some other posters have trying to be kind to you and give you the benefit of doubt because of your age. However, I suspect you are trying to sell something you really no very little about and you picked the wrong place to do it or to pretend to be in a position to recommend anything to experienced hunters and being young goes only so far as an excuse. While I am glad you are hunting instead of playing video games, if indeed you are a hunter, what I have seen so far makes me doubt that. Please don't thank me for the input because because I am trying to tell you in the nicest way I know that people do not like other people trying to blow smoke up their butts and you really should stop.

I know I'm 17 and young but if you are going to come after me I'm going to come right back. That BROADHEAD video was my first video ever made. The hunting basics one was my second. It is not a new one and is a old one. I'm not trying to sell one thing so let's get that straight. I was just reviewing the Broadhead just so you know. I'm taking all the advice and making a new one so before you go blowing smoke about me about my video know that it was my first one before the basics video and I'm not trying to sell you one thing whatsoever. Read my titles and listen to what I actually say in my videos before you go making assumptions that I'm selling you something because I honestly am not.

Boy, you have a lot to learn before you try to teach others, that is what many here have been trying to tell you without being too blunt. Someimes it take bluntness to get someones attention. If you consider the truth coming after you, you will never improve. You cannot be insructional before you know the material and putting out opinion as fact does not make you credible and soon no one will read your posts. You keep saying to keep the opinions coming, this opinion is based on in 56 years of hunting, rifle, handgun and archery and in fact teaching hunting safety and techniques of hunting and tracking and other things that go along with hunting. Continue to learn to hunt, find a mentor and after you actually have a knowledge base, not just something you read or saw on you tube or TV because there is lots of junk being passed of as fact, then if you want, create instructional hunting videos.

Thank you thank you thank you

I've been at the archery hunting sport for close to 50 years now. Long before compound bows came into existence. I've shot and killed deer with both mechanical and fixed blade broadheads. Probably in the neighborhood of 35 or so. Having said that I must tell you that the fastest killing broadhead I have ever used personally was the 100 gr Magnus Stinger. As I recall I killed 4 nice buck with these and all fell within sight in the wooded areas I hunt. You can't beat that performance. The reason I switched to another BH is because the Stinger is not very strong. Depending on the bow I am using or the animal I am hunting I now use Rage Hypodermics or Slick Trick Vipertrick.
Many bowhunters today IMO are worried about the cutting diameter of the BH. The larger the cutting surface the more KE is required to drive it through a target. Any BH of a 1" or more cutting diameter (or even a FT) placed in the heart/lung area will quickly dispatch any whitetail. A large cutting diameter is an insurance policy for poor shot placement.

I 100% agree with every word you said. Very well said and put.

Bronko, as Bill Hickock said, " you can't shoot fast enough to make up for poor marksmanship". Right along the same line as what you just said.

Thank you for that quote I'm sure I'll be just fine and you can count on it:happy0001:

My favorite heads have been the G5 Montechs for quite a few years. In 2001 I was asked to test a set of them. I'd never found a fixed blade that would fly dead even with my field tips at distance. Of course I had seen several "claims" of it but had yet to find it truth. Until these. Then I had the opportunity to run one through a nice fat doe. And when I say "run through" I mean it. 22 yard dead broadside 26 feet up the tree. Passed through the deer and buried 11 inches into fairly hard clay. Blew a VERY nice exit as well as a nice entry. Doe went approximately 32 yards, stopped, shook, dropped. They have passed through many Deer since then and I have yet to have a set fail me. Just throw a head on the whet rock a couple of passes after you blow through a deer and you are good to go. Only had one ever break a blade and that was from hitting a rock after passing through a deer. Can't ask for anything more from a BH.

My number 2 favorite backup is the Slick Trick Magnum. It's not as tough as the G5 which is the ONLY drawback from that head. But replacement blades are fairly cheap for it even though they are top quality .035 and super sharp. They fly very well with my field tips out of my 300+ fps bows but they are EXCEPTIONAL out of my recurve rig.

I've tested many heads over the years and have seen many "claims" of "exceptional flight", "exceptional penetration" , "devastating damage", and to be perfectly honest, very few have lived up to all these claims.

With today's super speed high tech compound bows which can throw an arrow at 300fps+ with just 60 pounds of draw I know it is very hard to get true flight from a broadhead. Planing just goes berserk at those speeds. But a few, a VERY few companies have risen up to the challenge. The Xecutioner heads are NOT one of them. Out past 30 yards they are well off the mark. Of course the "marketers" on these youtube vids are not going to show that. And as Bronco so eloquently put it, larger cutting diameter is not always better. With length comes inherent weakness because of the leverage laws. You have to find that happy medium where you can cause the most damage while keeping the blades where they are supposed to be and not broken off. Mech. heads, most of them, just don't stand up to the rigors of going through an animal.

All I can say is that I've now seen two threads this youngster has put out and it doesn't appear he's listening to a thing all of the experienced members on this site are telling him even though he keeps thanking them. This thread is particularly disturbing when he hadn't even tested the product that he's made the thread about and then doesn't even know that the ribs cover the lungs and talks about a person having to readjust so they don't hit ribs to get the arrow into the vitals, LOL! He keeps making posts thanking people when he still hasn't let the main message sink in and that is that he needs to back off and at least know what he's talking about before trying to "school" people on subjects he obviously knows nothing about. About one more thread like these first two and everyone will have him on ignore because about all he's doing here IMHO is spamming the site and getting arguments started due to his lack of knowledge when trying to come across as a 17 year old expert! I'm super glad that hunting is his passion like it is for a lot of us, but I really wish the youngster would back off and learn before trying to be an instructor. From all that's gone on so far though, I doubt that's going to happen!

Here we go again!

Oops!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any knowledgeable hunter, either gun or bow, will tell you that you would have to be extremely lucky NOT to hit a rib on both the entry and exit of your projectile. Be it a bullet or arrow. As for a 2.5" broadhead not leaving a good blood trail, it is entirely possible. One way I can see that happening is a high lung hit from a ground blind. The animal will bleed for sure but it will all be internal with very little being forced out. Same would be true on a quartering away shot from a tree stand should the BH hit the opposite shoulder and not pass through. Again a lot of internal bleeding but little on the ground. These are things that happen and any experienced bowhunter will tell you that. You can be the greatest bow shot in the world but sooner or later you're going to make a less than ideal shot because you can't predict how the animal will react to the shot. It is then you better know when to back out and how to track and know your quarry and area.

Not to mention also Bronko say around mid archery when the deer are starting to get a really good fat layer built up they will "seal up" and barely leak from a 2 blade cut. That's not only from a mechanical BH but from ANY 2 blade or single "wedge" blade that doesn't have a bleeder blade. What I have tried to explain to this kid is the need for a cross section blade. If you just make a simple "slice" the wound may not "open up" to allow good bleeding OUTSIDE the body cavity. With a cross section cut you "open" a hole instead of a slice. CAN a 2 blade lay a deer open? Of course they can, as they did for a few thousand years but are they going to be AS dependable as a BH with a bleeder blade? NOPE. Simple and easy answer.

This young man just doesn't seem to want to listen to those of us who have actually tested, and USED successfully I might add, many different Broadhead designs through a LOT of years. Hell, I started out bow hunting with a hand made Long Recurve and hand made cedar arrows and hand tooled steel broadheads! Same equipment used hundreds of years ago! So when I say I have been through the equipment trials and tests, believe me, I started OLD SCHOOL! I now use the latest in technologies (BowTech) as well as Old School Recurve. But I have to admit that the recurve doesn't come out as often as I like. At my draw length the hold weight is just shy of 73 pounds and at my age that is getting to be a bit on the "oh hell this is heavy" side. Especially if I get caught "on the draw" and have to hold it. :action-smiley-099:

From my experience a 2.5 inch 2 blade will open them right up as the skin has tension. I don't like mechanicals but not for that reason.

I'm certainly glad none of the 100+ deer I've killed to date had those "pesky" ribs covering the vitals. No Sir, all the deer I have killed had the ribs on the back half so they didn't get in the way of my bullet or arrow.

I've seen some silly things on forums but I've never before heard someone say to "adjust" your point of aim to avoid the ribs. If your broadhead can't cut through a rib then it isn't worth having. Maybe the OP isn't aware that the ribs are covered with meat and hair. You really can't see them on a living deer. At least, I never have but then I'm a whole lot older than he is.

Oops again!

I have to confess (if you read my previous post) I believe I was fortunate once when I shot a 1500 pound bull bison with a 125 grain Magnus Stinger broadside at 35 yards and watch the arrow pass completely through and kept flying across the prairie never to be seen again. After examination, the arrow passed neatly between the ribs on both sides. That bull made three 360* rotations, ran about 25 yards and collapsed. But on the other hand I can remember hitting a whitetail's rib so squarely it sounded like a 22 LR going off.

LOL Bronk, If I can see a deer's ribs well enough to aim in between them, I don't want the thing! No meat on them bones! I Would probably shoot the poor starving or sick thing to put it out of it's misery.
