Inexpensive fixed broadhead
Ti -2 extreme titanium 100 grains. It is a three blade fixed broadhead with 1 1/8 inch cutting diameter. Price for the three of them $9.99. So I decided try them.
The box said 17/1000 inch razor sharp stainless steel blades.
Out of the box they were sharpe enough to shave hair off my arm. The box says titanium coated ferrule for extra strength. OK if they say so. The blades are not replaceable.
I found them to be just as accurate as other broadheads of that design and size. I shot into my target about 15 times. The head was in just as good of shape as when I started. The blades were not loose like some of the others I have tried. I then sharpened in on a tru-angle sharpening stone and was able to get the edge back to where it would shave my arm again. This is good as one could reuse it.
Looks like a very good broadhead for the money.
I found these at bassPro shop. Ten dollars for three, a price I can live with.

RE: Inexpensive fixed broadhead
I am interested in 5Shot's tests, but already i have grave concerns. 17/1000 is thin for a blade in todays broadheads and what does titanium coated ferrule mean? Either its titanium or not titanium. How can a coating make a ferrule stronger?

RE: Inexpensive fixed broadhead
Marketing is the titianium coating is. The blades may hold up, not sure yet. sharpness is Ok, not great but better than some. I also found that the blades are glued into the ferrule and then the "nut" fits behind them. Very hard to pull out. For 10 bucks a pack of three the price is nice, but they are made in china. Of course many of todays popular heads seem to come from overseas now.
