2022 Year End Summary of Broadhead Tests

Very nice. You can evaluate what you think is most important. After 31 years in this industry, I would put more than 20% value on penetration. I would double it’s value for mule deer and triple its value for elk, moose, brown/grizzly bear and most African game. I want both lungs and fixed blade for anything larger than a whitetail. I’ve seen too many elk get away with only one lung deflated by big-opening mechanicals that don’t penetrate.

2022 YEAR END SUMMARY & BROADHEAD TEST SCORES with Spreadsheet

Moving to Melissa?

I’m out that way almost weekly (we shoot at a shotgun range just down the road in Leonard)…

When you get to DFW, shoot me a PM… coffee is on me!
 
This is related to my goals this year….to dial down and be a better than a 15 yd over a feeder bow hunter.

Absolutely agree! I personally place about 80% on penetration ability and 20% on durability which are not mutually exclusive characteristics when it comes to broadhead design.

An old meme but a good one.. LOL

Absolutely. I prefer a fixed two blade and a heavy arrow. Incredibly deadly. I hate Rage. Caused us lots of problems.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
