Broadhead Test Video (SORRY I SEE IT HAS BEEN POSTED)
 
Pretty intersesting....notice most of them are hitting low-left. Will this video make you change from or atleast try any of these broadheads?

Click on the video player. (starts slow but then gets right to the test)

I've used muzzy's for 13 yrs. I wasn't happy with the damage it took through the plywood. Most of the mechanical blades showed little damage when passing through the board. Totally shocked me on that one.

I was very surprised to see the muzzy blade bend!Would have been nice if they tested the Rage and Grim Reapers!

Interesting video though!

Thanks for sharing!

I'm more surprised by the fact they would shoot ONLY one arrow with each broadhead. Really, how valid can any of this be???? They went through all the trouble to build this machine and then could only find time to shoot each broadhead/arrow ONLY once. That's plain stupid. At least give me 3 broadhead/arrow shots and take the average or something. This test could have been great if the guy had taken the time to spend another hour at the range. Dumb. One crooked arrow makes a broadhead look terrible. AND.... they could have included more big name broadheads.

NOPE, my broadhead wasn't in the bunch. Neither was the one I used before the current one. I don't figure how you say there's one in every crowd? I simply pointed out a BIG flaw in their test. When you sight ina gun do you shoot once and say that's it? When we shoot for groups do we shoot one arrow and call that a group? When they take a poll do they ask the first guy they see and call it a valid poll? Why bother to go through the trouble of putting this machine together and then shoot only ONE arrow with each broadhead? It makes no sense and is an invalid test.

My "control" group is the deer I killed this year. I've tested my BH choice through enough DEER, now, to allow me to say I'm completely satisfied with my choice.

I didn't even look at the video....but I will as soon as the deer start wearing wood and metal armour. Otherwise....I think's it's a moot point (or an attempt at one).

I think David's correct, too. I bought 6 a/c/c's to start my deer season off. There was one that WOULD NOT fly straight.....no matter what I did with it. Imagine if I'd shot that one, first......and made my decision on a/c/c's from that one arrows flight characteristics.

;)

I will definatly have to agree with David on this one, way to many variables to base a scientific test on one arrow fired. I personally spend alot of time tuning my arrows and heads to make sure they all fly to the same POI.

The other thing about the accuracy part of this test is that I can get my broadheads to shoot almost identical to field points (closer than many heads tested in this video) with careful tuning. So if I get a good group and I'm sighted in for a certain broadhead, what relevance does the accuracy portion of this test to me? The plywood is probably a good indicator of how much a head is going to be damaged by hitting heavy rib bones.

Thats why they stated that the broadheads tuned to the bow would shoot into the same hole. These were just out of the box comparison's of broadheads that claim to fly like field points.

I just thought the accuracy part was cool. I could care less about steel drums, plywood, and whatever else.

They did fire them more than once. They said at the end that all the BH's grouped well with each other and an adjustment to the sights would be all you needed before hunting.

I believe in the video or the web site they said they shot mor than one of each broadhead but didn't put all the shots on the video because of time.
