I think he lied. I think the barrel died

the test isnt legit because he was shooting a mathews, and not a bowtech;)

seriously though, thanks for sharing..

Not bad, those rusty barrels are an elusive critter. I don't plan on hunting them any time soon though.


I'm still shooting the Rage 2 Blades and Slick Trick Magnums ;)

Not an astounding kudos for any of the mechanicals. In fact, they all were pretty flimsy if you ask me. I'd have like to see the Shuttle T tested too.:D

Any Mech is going to have a hard time with a metal drum[&:] There is no give and something is going to give.

I would have like to see a monotech

That was interesting. It certainly shows how some heads will hold up (or not) when encountering an unforgiving material.

The Slick Trick looked like it came through pretty unscathed.

Thanks for sharing.

My local archery shop showed me that video. I was originally asking them what they thought of the Rage broadheads, and they just started bashing on them. That is when they told me to watch the video. Definitely not a good showing for the Rage as it hardly even penetrated the front of the barrel. On another note, I was impressed with both the Piston Point and the G5 Tekan. Yes it did break off some blades, but they both penetrated both sides of the barrel. I know there are a lot of Rage lovers and haters (I'm neither as I've never tried them yet), but this video makes me lean towards the Piston Point (Undertaker) or Tekans for mechanicalsdue to the better penetration.

Doesn't matter how much penetration you have if the blades are gone!

Honestly......

How much water do you think a "barrel v. a whitetail's body" "test" holds?

The head I shoot .......propelled with the force my bow produces.......combined with the knowledge that the head will produce massive hemmorhaging......is overkill for the prey I'm seeking to kill.

That's really all I need to know.

I know that this is not a perfect test, but I don't think that the blades would be as badly damaged on an animal as compared to the barrel (just my opinion). On the other hand, if you get that type of penetration on a barrel (which would be to the extreme) imagine what you would get on an animal.

RE: Broadhead Test
 
What you're also NOT getting from this test is the actual damage that would be done on something that ANY Bh could easily blow through.

Short of a deer's shoulder knuckle (that I don't think ANY BH will penetrate)....there's really nothing in there to stop ANY BH.

So look at it logically. How much damage is BH "A" gonna do on it's way through v. BH "B".

That's ALL I'm really interested in......Out of MY setup............

I've never shot montechs but my buddy does. He was at my house a few weeks ago and we were out in the back shooting our BH's. After a couple rounds, he pulled a shot badly. The arrow flew right over his Block and centered a small tree. He thought he lost it in the high weeds but I told him that I heard it hit something and sounded like the arrow broke. We walked over to search for it. We found it quickly, the arrow appeared okay but the Montec 85 broke. I'll try to go out there this week after work and dig the rest of it out of the tree and see if I can get the other piece from him so I can get a picture of it to show you. I never though a Montec would break the way this one did. I seriuosly thought it would've held up better. The shot distance to the tree wasabout 35 yards. His bow shoots his arrows at 286fps.

A local hunter swore he missed a Buck last year with the Rage and it still killed it.

His thinking was the Buck saw the Rage as it flew over head and just thinking what might have been caused him to have a massive heart attack!![8D]

We had a thread in here a while back (month or so).......where one equipment mfr. was complaining about someonerepresenting another mfr. making disparaging remarks.......stating how unprofessional that was.

I KNOW I got some PM's about another, similar incident.;)

Interesting.......

do you need to use scent control to find rusty barrels? are painted ones trophies?
