Default Question for 5-shot

I can' t remember you talking about steel force broadheads on any previous posts and I was wondering if you have tested them. They have a titanium head that comes with lifetime resharpening. Any info would be appreciated.

I have tested the premium line, but not the titainiums. bottom line the steelforce heads are excellent in most everyway. While they are not my favorite cut on contact line, they work very well, and are the sharpest heads out of the package I have ever seen!
Steel force Premium 100 grain 4 blade


Accuracy 4 points
Plywood 3 points
Steel drum 2 points
Tire 4 points
Non-mechanical head 2 points
Blades 4 points
Cutting diameter 3 points
Total Score: 22 with a blade sharpness rating of A+

This head tested is the premium 4 blade without serrations. Accuracy was very good, and blade sharpness is excellent. This may well be the sharpest head I have ever tested. In the Tire the head got through one side with 8” of shaft, and no damage. In the steel drum it got through one side and bounced off the back. There was no damage to the head other than a small nick in the tip. The plywood test was little disappointing. The head got most of the way through, without damage, but every other quality head has been able to get through all the way. I re-shot the head without the bleeder blades and still could not get all the way through. Overall I found this head to be super sharp, accurate and durable. I can see the tip curling over on heavy bone hits, but did not have any major problems with it in the tests. I was surprised at the lack of penetration in hard objects like plywood and the steel drum compared to other cut to the tip style heads, but penetration in soft materials was about the same as most other heads.
I like the sharpness of the heads, as well as the accuracy and think they would be a very effective on just about any game one would hunt.
