This will be my last post on this matter. You can find very good broadhead tests on YouTube. Look up Lusk Archery. The latest heads getting accolades on Lusk tests and crossbow forums for their durability are Sevr and Swat.

Well, where do I begin to reply? I won't bother since you have not comprehended most of my posts. If you go back and read them again in their entirety, instead of taking things out of context , the answers will be already there. I am not going to post on this topic ad nauseam. We are all...

I didn't specifically say YOU. Just in general.

I can't disagree with you. You obviosly have a lot of experience. But, in my lifetime, I have probably killed about 150 animals with an arrow. Even if a person Guided for 30 years, he may not have seen this many animals fall to an arrow. Knowing your equipment and capabilities is important with...

Agree. But, there are countless reports of the effectiveness of these heads. I don't think you are going to find a deer hunter that will use a small cut, two blade broadhead. The main problem with fixed heads today is with fast crossbows. Once you get past 400 fps, they tend to go squirrly. So...

The mechanical broadhead is by far, the most used broadhead in DEER hunting, so finding these in processed deer is not surprising. Are we to assume that no fixed heads were found because none were previously wounded with one? Looks like to me that whoever took this picture has something against...

WOW, the pedestal mount is fantastic. I was going to do a pedestal mount for my Eland but realized my room was too small for it.

I have not seen much feedback or extensive testing (ie Lusk Archery) so I can't attest to the durability of Beast heads but it looks like they passed your tests on some tough game. The Sevr head they tested was rated the highest performing head in all their testing.

Having used many different mechanical heads over the years, I can attest to their efficacy on deer sized game. The problem is mostly blade durability and ferrule strength. I would stick with fixed heads on bigger critters. The issue with fixed heads may be the poor accuracy on bows shooting over...

The broadhead matters too. It's slow and heavy or light and fast. They each have their advantages. You can find the sweet spot with KE with some experimentation. The one thing about light and fast is trajectory. A flatter trajectory makes for less error at uncertain distances.

500 gr arrow out of a crossbow shooting about 370 fps

I shot this critter with a 500 gr arrow out of a crossbow shooting about 370 fps. Got a clean passthrough and the broadhead was still intact.

It's possible that he doesn't even pay the guide. Ridiculous.

A $1,000 tip for 4 days would probably support their whole family for a month. That's ridiculous.

Tipping is required because the person is underpaid. One way or another, it costs you. If they were paid well, the cost would be higher. It's a hidden cost. The only one that could lose/gain is the person relying on it. I don't believe in a 20 percent minimum. That's just something pulled out of...
