Now the lightbulb 💡 goes on 😜! I can’t order more TUFFHEAD 200 grain single bevels because the Ranch Fairy 200 grain 3 Blade is the next must have broadhead! Thanks Ranch!
Thats not what he was saying!
@@ep3389 You’re quite right. I made an absurd and nonsensical comment. Troy said the 3 blade was a step between replaceable broadhead systems and the single bevel broadheads which require some skill and attention to detail in order to sharpen. Three blades are quite simple to sharpen and maintain. Sirius Archery and TUFFHEAD do have Ranch Fairy branded products for sale; and producing any substantial inventory of a new product likely reduces production and inventory of other items already marketed. It could also be that TUFFHEAD intends to market only 150 grain Evolution Series Single Bevel Version 2.0 broadheads and have the archer make up the difference with weighted inserts. Who knows?
@@308blr2 nope I did, now I get what you meant
For me it's confidence and accuracy. I shoot mechanical, fixed, tune my arrows to the broadheads and I feel confident I can kill what I'm hunting regardless.
RF you summed it up in your last quote, “don’t take crazy shot angles and you’ll be fine”. That sums up my 50+ years of bowhunting no matter what broadhead I used.
Facts! I think it’s a dangerous area to get to when you say “this broadhead cuts better so I can take a little bit harder shot angles”
I dont think that's what he meant. Ranch fairy would take a crazy shot angle with the right broadhead. But he meant don't take crazy shot angles with this particular broadhead, but with single bevels and heavy arrows he would all day.
Straight up or quartering towards You are Poor Shot Angles with a Gun let alone a Bow. Straight Down can get You into Trouble, too.
@@christopherwatson283 that's not true and you people are missing the whole point of this quote.
@@ep3389 Front side has a head on It. Need to watch out for that. I've heard all that buzz about Heavy Arrows and Spear Heads. Hitting the Bulls Eye is what counts.
I would consider trying some. But I'm so happy how my Magnus have worked for me over the years , I'm loyal to them.
I too am fond of Magnus. I like the stinger 2 blade and the killer bee 2 blade.
Funny how the park pixie claims, "when you're fishing and not catching anything but your buddy is, to use his worm." Then goes on to say he isn't shooting 400 grain twizzlers. Kinda funny I've never had a problem with my 350 grain, 22% FOC, 318 FPS, arrows with a swhacker. Always passed through, always opened. I don't see anyone trying a light arrow with high FOC. It'll work, it's science. 78 ft lbs kinetic energy.
This is a huge trend/ Fad backed by arrow companies and heavy broadhead companies. I shoot 400 grain arrows with Rage 2 blades and never had an issue and kill 3+ deer a season with my bow. Light arrows and expandables kill deer no issue.
🤣🤣🤣
Been shooting thunderheads for 27 years. Best penetration for the price. Arrows are like bullets to me. I’ve never worried about breaking an arrow or broadhead. If you kill a deer it’s worth it.
I switched back to a 3 blade one piece muzzy this year after watching this. It took lots of effort to get them sharp but was well worth the effort. For the first time ever I watched a buck fall after I shot him. He never knew what hit him. Pass through heart shot, ran 40 yards and stopped, looked around and fell flat. Thanks for all the info.
I know blood trails are unpredictable, but a 3 blade cuts an entrance/exit wound in three directions and ups the chances of getting an improved blood trail. Also, cutting a HOLE verses cutting a SLIT gives you a better chance of hitting arteries, whereas a two blade head may pass parallel to an artery and miss it entirely. The strength of a heavy monolithic 3 blade is unmatched for toughness. All broadhead designs have their pluses and minuses. Fun to experiment.
I use G-5 montecs and have never had them fail to penetrate the entire animal. Reusable, shatters shoulder blades, many shots where the penetrated the animal, INCLUDING BOTH shoulder blades and dropped most of those animals on the spot. I've never had ANY broadheads out perform them.
Are you able to get them as sharp as these guys do with their two blade heads? I'm struggling...
@@brux3822 yes. They are built at the perfect angles to sharpen on a flat stone. I use a 2 sided diamond hone. Medium grit first and fine to finish. Shaving sharp every time
I agree. Been using Montecs for many years now and the only issues I've had have been 100% my fault. Have also dropped multiple over 40 yards and a couple over 50. Able to sharpen easily, super durable and get the job done. Just wished they made them heavier than 125 so I could use smaller inserts.
I totally agree with how awesome the G5 broad heads are.... Especially the fixed style. I used their new M3 heads last year and they performed at a high level. I have never used a single bevel head and I don't feel the need to if the M3's keep working this well.
I’m also on the Montec train. I also don’t worry about the ultra heavy stuff for whitetail. A sharp broadhead and good shots= dead deer
People!
Are you afraid of sharpening your broad heads? How about your knives?
Fear Not! Great News ! Go onto TH-cam and look up “How to sharpen a whatever” . Now do that which is recommended in the post! It works perfectly every time. Enjoy!
How about shooting those 200 grain Ranch Fairy broadheads with a crossbow? Ecspecially on hogs.
Keep up the awesome content. You are making the off-season almost as fun as hunting season. I agree with RF and what y’all are doing 100%.
Scam
Made my case been debating on single or triple this year. Going to use up my triples and make the switch to the singles
Lmao I'm the anomaly... I was shooting a 400 grain setup with a flapper. Lost a deer. And than was like that's it never again!! Stumbled across Troy's videos and the Dr. Ashby study and went straight for the 650+ grain setup. Single bevel My first deer I took with that setup it jumped a little (from the rock my arrow hit as it passed through) looked left and right walked 15ft. And fell over dead. I've killed a dozen plus deer with a bow up to this point and have never had a more humane kill with a bow set up until than. Ever since than I've never looked back. Have I had to adjust for my yardage. 20yrds and in yes. But it's well worth it. Just means I've had to become a better hunter is all.
Slick tricks have treated me well over the years. Love the content 🤙
Before long you guys will complete your progress into expandables. Kidding, kind of.
Hard to bet a QAD exodus 125 grain broadhead I think there are one of the best and they fly really good
I shoot a mechanical and I love them but that’s for the info!!
Y'all should do a video on sights for a bow. These instructional info videos are fantastic. Sooo helpful. One on sights and how you set your pins would be very helpful for a novice like myself lol. Appreciate yall
There's so many ppl on TH-cam that talk about that stuff check out, chris bee, John dudley, the elk shape guys, fmjj. Literally so many that are genius about that stuff
A flat plane is a lifting surface. A single bevel will act like a wing changing trajectory especially during windy conditions. You typically hunt facing into the wind and that can effect arrow flight. 3 or 4 blades have no flat plane or defined lifting surface. The flight should be much more accurate than a flat plane single bevel broad head.
I love how informational this channel is. I am brand new to Bow hunting, I have a Bow Paradox, and I am simply trying to understand a good arrow set up and these help, but at times I am still lost LOL
I appreciate these videos!
There’s a lot of hype on the heavy arrows right now. Pick something durable, middle of the road or slightly heavy- like 125-150 grain, don’t shoot at shoulder blades, and you’ll be fine for deer.
A good setup is a setup that works for you. 500-600 grains some where in there you will find what you bow wants. If you are going fixed single bevel is probably the best however a 3 blade will work too. Keep your shots close is the number one thing. I highly recommend staying 50 yards and under with archery. This distance whatever imperfections you have after all the tuning and forms you’ll have less to go wrong.
Little disappointed the foul language at the beginning wasn’t edited out. Love y’all videos, but one of the biggest reasons I do is I always feel I can watch it with my young son and not worry about what will be said. Have to be a little more careful about that now.
Keep posting great content and keep in mind those younger viewers who will inevitably look up to y’all.
If your son goes to school, I am sure he hears much worse there than in this video.
I ❤ the THP Ranch Fairy collabs! I tried the single bevels years ago, I’m good at a lot of things but sharpening a broadhead sent to me sharpened to the equivalent of a butter knife is not one of them, I’m sure it’s all on me, I feel I can be very patient, but for some reason that does not translate into spending hours of my time sharpening broadheads, I admit it, it’s 100% on me, but I love and understand the benefits of a single bevel. Why is there not a company that will send out a single bevel razor sharp broadhead along with offering a fool proof system to sharpen them? Guaranteed there are masses of hunters out there that would anti up the asking price, heck I’d even be happier to send them back each off season to get them resharpened for a premium. I can promise that their are many hunters out there with single bevels that they have sharpened that are to dull to be ethically hunted with!
It should read (THERE)!!!🤣
There is iron will come razor sharp and stay sharp make a jig to put the broadhead in and sharpen it is just that easy
Cutthroats will come sharpened for an extra fee
Yep iron will, sharpest factory broadheads there is, and lifetime warranty
Go with Iron Will Single bevels. They come shaving sharp and you can use the "stay sharp" jig on some diamond plates an then strop them on leather to get them even sharper. You can absolutely hunt with iron will single bevels out of the box because they really do come sharp.
Love the content, as always..in short, I agree with this video. Coincidentally, I've been shooting a 200gr 3 blade because of all the reasons RF and Zach touched on...the 3 blades accuracy, ease of tune, and also that the 3 bl broadhead is not as likely to deflect or veer off course at point of impact, especially on hard bone. I feel that even a sharp single bevel, at a hard enough quatering angle, it always has the potentialto deflect some based on the relationshipof the 2blade at POI... the 3blade also can't plane in the wind, which is an issue I was having in windy western hunting.
It’s a scam I called it
A 3 blade can wind plane and deflect badly in an animal. A 4 blade deflects less, penetrates better, and cuts more tissue than a 3.
@@cjr4497 Not sure how you'd argue that a 3-blade would plane in the wind, or deflect...would also respectfully disagree that a 4 blade would penetrate better or deflect less...it's literally more surface area for wind to catch and tissue to stop. There are plenty of videos showing the amount of force needed to push a 3blade vs 4blade thru a stationary medium like hide or ballistics.
I just have discovered this channel. I'm loving it! Great videos.
Good video guys. Shot angle and placement is on the person behind the bow. My 30+ years of Bow hunting I've tried many broadheads. I use muzzy 3 blades and have shot a few at some steep angles, quartering towards me or away and they always came through. Very seldom do I bend blades. The biggest thing is practice with what you are going to hunt with so when that moment you wait for all season arrives, you can be confident you'll make a lethal, ethical shot. And keep them sharp!
Will someone please take Zach to get a haircut 😫
Ugh I may be more confused then ever🤪🤣🤣🤣. So the number of bevels, does it depend on the size of the arrow also?? What about what poundage you pull?? Does that matter too?? I have sooo much to learn lol
Bevel refers to the angled side of a cutting edge. A single bevel has one angle side and one flat side(think razorblade), a double bevel has two angled sides(typical knife edge).
Bevels are really only important for 2blade BHs and resharpening.
Figure out what you want from a BH first before deep diving, ie more penetration, more cutting or retainability...etc
Can you, or the fairy do a video on sharpening a Ozcut Hurricane. Single bevel offset 3 blade??
My cutthroats S7s were ROUGH when they showed up. It took some with to get them terrifyingly Sharp. Thank God the jump to single bevel was simple for me. I've sharpened knives to a razors edge for years. I'll gladly sharpen a single bevel over a double never any day. They are much easier to get scary sharp.
I shoot a 377 grain twizler with a 100 grain muzzy 3 blade, 59 lbs 29.5 draw, I don't have issues with turning or flight out to 60 yards but I wouldn't shoot past 40, and I'm shooting between heart and lungs, could be in a severe angle up a tree or could be from the ground. No issues, 0. Zilch. Oh, and I get passthroughs.
Hate to have bad memories be talked about, but wondering if you had an in depth talk about Aaron's elk that he shot quartered to and the arrow didn't get much penetration?
I jumped straight to 200 grain single levels and it was hard to learn sharpening. I now sharpen all my buddies broad heads. It is an art but it's also therapeutic.
I'm just glad people much smarter than me figure this stuff out so I can go out and miss booners because I suck not because my gear sucks.
I know this dose not pertain to everybody but I shoot grime reapers 125 grain 3 blade expandable and I do shoot them out of my crossbow and I have never had a malfunction I have litteraly shot 9 deer with one arrow and the same head last year pick it up clean it and keep going and on three of the deer i shot them length wise through the chest and out the rear doing my own test with them and never had a problem. but I have always had problems with solid heads weather or not I'm tuning them right or not I'm not 100% sure wondering if you could do a video and explain in more depth on how to tune arrows / broad heads when it comes to using solid heads compared to others
Go to ranch fairy’s channel he has it broke down where anyone can understand
They did a video on tuning last year it may have even been when they were with ranch fairy. I remember warb turning the knock quarter turns and marking the fletchings with a marker
I switched back to 3 blade broad heads because I had several deer in a row, that were double lunged, and had poor blood trails, using two blade single bevel heads. I agree that you can increase your effective angles with single bevels but I really believe you increase the blood trail with a 3 blade.
blood trails are no fun. watching them fall is much better :)
Why not go 4 blades with the iron will Single bevels w/ bleeders? They produce great blood trails.
If you really double lunged your deer with a quality single bevel broadhead and you often had poor and maybe long blood trails, I am rather sure your broadheads have not been as sharp as they should be.
Have you just used them as they came in the box without sharpening them?
If you have, I am sure they have been far from as sharp as they should be.
Using dull broadheads is asking for poor blood trails.
They need to be scary sharp.
I have never experienced poor blood trails on any of the deer I have shot with the single bevel broadhead I use.
Far from it.
Most of the time they are gushing blood.
Specially on the exit side.
And at the same time have I almost never experienced a blood trail longer than 50 yards with it and never as long as 100 yard.
At least 90% of them have dropped within 30-35 yards.
Many of them just move a few yards and stand there a few seconds till they drop.
@@The_Judge300 well hunting public has a bunch of kills w/ single bevels on video and rarely that kind of results… maybe you’ve experienced more of an exception than a rule.
@@mikefromoh2925
Maybe, but I have lots of experience with killing deer and other animals with a bow in the years I have hunted since I started with my first compound in 1986.
And I have tested almost everything that have been made of broadheads since then.
There are many broadheads that are better than single beveled ones when it comes to blood trails, as long as they are scary sharp, you hit the right area and you get a complete pass through.
And that is the key words for a good blood trail.
Shot placement, scary sharp and complete pass through.
And a scary sharp single bevel broadhead is what gives you the best chance for a complete pass through.
I am not totally sure how many big game animals I have killed with single bevel broadheads, but I would guess it is above 100, and I have never had much problems finding the animals.
The single bevel alone is not the reason for this.
Good shot placement with a rather silent bow and having it scary sharp, have made almost all blood trails short/very short.
Many of these animals have also been shot from the ground while stalking/still hunting.
An animal shot from a tree stand will have a low exit wound, making the blood trail even better.
Okay nobody be an expert until you have taken in the entire post ! 😮
Ide never shoot a shoulder no matter what head im using. Just wait for a more ethical shot
Shoulder shots are for rifles and shotguns
100% Agree!
I shoot single beveled broadheads most of the time but when I travel out of state to a family farm I used a 3 blade double beveled broadheads because they are easier to replace if something goes wrong. Last year I shot a big buck quartering to and went threw 3 ribs and all the way threw until the arrow stopped in the ball joint of the Femer bone
Dang. With my 350 grain arrow with a swhacker, 22% FOC, 318 fps, 78 ft lbs of kinect energy, all I hit is dirt, after my arrow passes through the deer.
🤣
I take all my many from the smoothest to the roughest wither my carving tools, knife, arrow heads and regularly dress my stones by laying sand paper on a window pane or mirror and move back and forth leveling my stones always have a perfect serfice every time. doing this makes the stones last much longer and better edges and stay sharper longer. three blade arrow heads are the way to go. nanna and papa wishing you well
Thanks for this and your content THP & RF! Has been helpful in rethinking my gear and strategies. Question related to this one though: I’ve been noticing a ton of new single-bevel 3 blade broadheads lately (ex: Ozcut Hurricane, Annihilators, I think VPA is about to launch a single bevel 4 blade even, etc.) Besides the VPA, have you guys had experience with these yet? My guess is that they are trying to capture the in-game, bone-splitting rotation that single bevel 2 blades provide, but does that really pan out on game?
I literally bought my first bow last week so this is absolute gold for me!!! I have soooo many questions and this content is answering alot!!! Broad heads are such a mystery to me, arrows are too. Just so much to learn but that's part of the fun!!! Appreciate y'all 🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Enjoy
Its so loaded with arguement you just have to find what you like...
@@flip66five right on. That's what I figured. But at least listening to videos like this and reading our comments kinda point me in a few directions. I'm not completely dumb about all this, just have never shopped for nor shot any.
I have been watching a ton of your videos, and I haven’t heard an answer to this yet. Would you recommend this over a 150gr buzzcut? I mean I know it is your product but I believe you would have an unbiased answer so I am curious.
I should add, with the same foc because I know there is a 50gr difference in the heads
Are these broad heads for sale yet? I can’t find any link and googled it but can’t find them
THE BIG ? QUESTION IS!! I WANT TO KNOW IS, WHERE DO I BUY A ARROW FLINGER! LIKE THE ONE 🚀 👨🚀 HAS!!!!!!!!!!!
A single bevel can also rotate off a bone and deflect alot and turn a great shot into a bad shot! Fact
Concur but Ranch Fairy's broadhead looks like a sadder less sharp Wensel Woodsman copy. Just go get the Woodsman. You owe it to the Wensels. It's part of your deer heritage young bloods.
Most mechanicals work great until they don't. It will most likely be on the deer or elk of a lifetime. Why risk it. But as always, do you. if it's working for you then keep doing it until it doesn't. One setup for everything appeals to me personally.
11:20 this right here should be the end of the argument. A twizzleflap shooter would tell you to absolutely never take the shot in this scenario, it’s unethical and no arrow can do it. But with an adult single bevel arrow, you can not only pull it off but do it consistently. That should tell you something.
I started off using 3 blades the QAD shot my first buck right in the v in the shoulder bone and went right the heart and out the other side and my broad head was not great condition afterwards
Samko trad bow made the point that if your shot isn’t perfect, the 2 blade wound will heal much better for the deer opposed to the 3 blade.
I like the Science Shirt lol Facts
I shoot one piece 3 blades (100 grain Montecs from G5) for the reasons that you mentioned. I have used replacement blades before and actually have lost a blade in the field before. Which sucks. So solid sharpenable heads for me. Eventually I will get to a single bevel.
Those are what I use and I haven't lost a deer to date. I've had several does that don't even know they've been shot
Your shirt is unfortunate, magic is real and the science is no longer the search for truth. The term science is now being used to defend and justify the opinion of people who claim to be experts.
Great information! My VPA's are a beast to sharpen.
But a few years ago the last time I was able to bowhunt I was sitting on the Ground and I had a huge 10 point buck come out in front of me like maybe 30 feet in front of the blind and so I took the shot and when I pulled the trigger it was like as if someone had grabbed the arrow off the crossbow and lifted it up and then dropped the arrow 3 feet in front of the blind and I never touched the deer and plus the string was brand new and it like snap in 3 places and after all that happened I was looked at the crossbow and I had a scope on the crossbow and it was like all the bolts and the screws were loose in the whole Trigger mechanism I could actually take a hold of the scope and lift the whole scope and trigger mechanism and lift it up right out of the crossbow so I don't know what happened or if something broke inside the crossbow or what so I haven't touched it since then
It sounds like the string somehow went over or under the bolt which resulted in a dry fire. That will send all that energy back into the crossbow which messes things up. Always make sure to use the brand bolt that matches the crossbow. Very common mistake.
I just don’t understand why anyone would use anything other than the single bevel at this point.
No matter what dude if that broadhead is sharp and you hit that dear nut shoulder that little wedge right there is going to explode it like a d*** God's legend that is exactly how a sledgehammer is designed it's designed in a wedge to break stuff apart
Disadvantages of the woodsman elite vs the 3 blade RF?
I've been shooting 100 grain 3 blade mechanical broadheads for 11 years and have been impressed almost every time. They are right about having to replace the blades on them sometimes after your shot, but the entry and exit holes are well worth it to me! Everyone has their own opinions and what they're comfortable with, but that was a very informative video on fixed broadheads!
I only shoot out to 40 yards also with my crackshot xbr. But man what a scope he has got on it.
A lot in archery is taking baby steps. Try new things and tinker.
I used Wolverines for Years. I have modified Mini-Blasters to lighten Them. I use Rubber Seals on the Blades, not Rubber Bands. High Speed Setup at 5 grains per pound of Bow Weight. Sort of an Ultimate Archery Challenge Set Up. The Faster the Better. 65 grain Wolverine, Seal, and Low Profile Shaft at 300+ FPS makes things a little easier for Me. Slow Arrows and Mechanicals are a No-No. I've Upgraded to Meet Seekers. They are even deadlier for Deer. I prefer 3 Blades. Stay away from 2 Blade Mechanicals. Lobbing and hoping or Shooting something that gets there quick. Put down the Range Finder and go sharpen Your Skills at a 3D Shoot.
Ask the ranch fairy to have them make a 3 blade single bevel ! Let’s gooo
I called this number it’s a scam
How do I know if I need a left bevel or a right bevel?
Can these broad heads be put on a cross bow bolt? My wife is starting to hunt this year. And cross bow is a whole knew world for me. It would be nice to have a broad head both of us can use.
Found this channel a week ago… everything I have been told (with the exception of my uncle) has been a lie. He’s been kind enough to rub it in my face so I am taking the jump from 400 twizzlers and flappers to adult arrows ideally I would like to jump from 450 up to 650. I don’t want the journey I don’t care if it takes me a year to learn how to sharpen and nock tune and broadhead tune. I will not shoot an arrow at a living animal until that point, the markets push for light arrows and flappers is completely and totally unethical.
Wish this 3 blade came in 150 grain. I have Ironwill SB’s, Grizzlystik Samurai’s, and VPA 3 blades. As much as I like the Ironwill’s they don’t seem to work with the ethics outserts I have for my Sirius and Vector arrows so it will be Grizzlystik’s or VPA 3 blades this season.
I shoot a 3 blade one piece 🇨🇳 broadhead, they need sharpening before use but once you put an edge on them they're straight killers , consistent weight, fly true and cost $22 for a dozen 🤷🏻♂️
THP and RF fan. I have learned so much from RF and I have bought in.
The frustrating thing for me about this head, and particularly RF name on it, is that the Ashby report says that a 3 blade is the worst for penetration. I see the solid head. I see the sharp blade. I get the arrow flight. It is just odd for me to that the two heads from Tuffhead with the RF branding is either 3 blade or (Evolution) lacking length/width mechanical advantage.
Everything else is secondary couldn't be more true👍. If I was going way back in multiple states & mostly hunting from the ground I probably could try to single bevel. But I scout post season & setup areas in March & leave them alone. Too many hitch-hiker style hunters out there that will try to hone in on what u r doing cuz they don't know what they're doing. I know my setup from a 🌳 will allow me to shoot close range from several angles that u just can't take full advantage of from the ground. Archery & bowhunting is supposed to be up-close & personal & it seems that the direction many r going is the opposite 🤔. Thanks for the progression video that @ least makes so many think a little more & hopefully enjoy even much more with what they r trying to accomplish.
All beings tremble before violence. All fear death, all love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do? Buddha
Pros to 3 blade...cut more tissue, cause more hemorrhaging, do just fine
Pros to 2 blade....get another 2" of penetration, and that's it
If I jump up to a 200g broadhead do I have to change the stiffness of my arrows?
Not necessarily. Depends on current stiffness. You can go down on draw weight too if you don't want to change arrows
...but my money is on yes...
Probably
Might also be able to stiffen by cutting some off if you can get away with it
One advice when it comes to arrow spine.
If you use any kind of fall away or similar arrow rest like a QAD or a Whisker Biscuit type of rest, you should buy arrows with a spine stiffer than you think you need.
Even if you normally use a 500 spine with 100 grain broadheads, buy 300 spine arrows.
Then you don't have to be worried about the weight of your broadhead or anything else up front.
The arrow spine can't get to stiff when you use these types of arrow rests.
But the spine can get to weak.
So, buy stiff.
I think you very well can shoot quartering to shots with that 3 blade broadhead on deer sized animals if you have enough foc and arrow weight and a decent speed.
I have done that multiple times with my 650 grain arrow at 260 fps with slick tricks and found my arrows in the dirt or on the ground and a dead animal close.
I would not do it on elk sized animals unless it was close enough for me to be sure to thread the needle to avoid heavy bone.
That said, I do now use single bevel 2 blade broadheads only with that setup, as I now use the same broadhead for all kinds of animals, instead of changing broadheads as I did before, and I want to be sure that my arrow will penetrate very well and make a quick kill on all of them.
Also when taking quartering to shots.
Ive shot woodsman broad heads for 25+ years on compound and traditional and have never had one bend because of impact. If you can’t prove, don’t say it. Makes you look like Brandon.
Interesting video. The only 3 blades I still have are Thunderheads & 3 Hellrazors & they're in a broadhead box.. 90o 4 Fletch is equal lateral too. As for angle shot. A couple of things 1. Know your & your equipment's abilities (be honest). Although, animals can still 'pre-load' (AKA: Jumping the string) &/or spin. 2. Know the animal's anatomy. 3. If your going to make a shot that is past 10-15ish degrees from broadside know the organs & bone structure within the course of the arrow thru the animal. Like the video of the buck in the rain from a tree stand. There is a vertical area between the brisket(center) & the shoulder that is rib heart & lungs at angle the deer presented (Yes, I've made it.). Plus, it was within 30 yards. HOWEVER, there are shots & angles that are definitely "No-go". As they said the 'quartering in shot' (with a bow) is a 'within 30 yard' shot.
Just my .02.
I started out shooting bear razor heads 40+years ago I shot satellite wasp then I found muzzy shot them for years then cam mechanicals 1 season with them then Bach to muzzy 3 blade 125 by far the best all-round broad ther is In my opinion
Went from slick trick raptor tricks, which I've had hero and zero on me. To magnus stinger 2 blade and g5 montec. I'm still not sure what to stick with. Great video
I have to disagree that three blade is made out s7 super steel I would take any shot on a deer in 25 yards or less with that s7 steel . S7 is like a hard cast bullet . Archery is a Close in your face sport I think guys forget that and want take a long shot that’s where they mess up . Learn to hunt closer to the game .
Has anyone shot the 3 blade 200 grain head out of a crossbow? Wondering what the flight and performance would be like?
So broadhead design matters....
love my hell razor 3 blades, I keep them very sharp and killed multiple deer with the same one threw shoulders. i'm thinking about going to the 2 blades you guys like but I hear you say its harder to tune? like what are some issues with getting them to shoot good and whats kind of trouble shooting to get them to tune easier?
Does that gun drive off the insert and eliminate all the spine flex of the arrow. Could you theoretically shoot any spine without a negative effect?
You are a funny guy
I am one of the guys that went from a 350 spine "twizzler" and I went to a Single Bevel Maassi learned to sharpen and made them deadlier than hell.
I shoot a fixed blade broadhead NAP HELLRAZOR all steel 3 blade. I strop them as soon as I open the box. It is a great broadhead.
What about 3 bladed single bevel
He might be a fairy for sure but he doesn't have a clue when it comes to broadheads. He's like the AoC of bowhunting
I use three blade muzzy, and I’ve never had to “tune” bc they hit the same spots had my field points so I don’t understand the tuning bc I’ve never had to lol
Zach was like wait a minute, why would I shoot something that’s not the absolute best?? And I agree..
I've been shooting 2 blade heavy arrows for 40 years, switching to this 3 blade after seeing the concreate block test with them.
I take everything you say pretty seriously and into complete consideration before spending my money on something. That being said is their a nice all around hunting knife that’s insanely sharp and easy to put an edge back on, do you have a preference? I use one with replaceable blades it’s alright but kind of want a fixed blade real good quality knife made out of good steel
Bought a test kit off of Sirius wish they'd ship out already been 2 weeks and I'm itching to see what set up is gunna work 4 me
I’ve been thinking about self filming now and was wondering if I can use scent free spray on a camera or would it ruin it? Can anyone pls tell me
Theres been more critters killed with a 2 blade design than every other design combined. Change my mind...
Can these be used on a crossbow bolt? Is the 200 grain weight too much for a typical crossbow setup?
These heads take me back when I was using Rothhar snuffers. I now use the Montech three blade and resharpen them after I use them.
Age old agreement, my buddy dropped a man sized deer in its track last fall with a mechanical, thing went 3 foot straight down
Every one that bow hunts should put all that he or she can into being the best that can be at what ever one is trying to do with bowhunting tuning your bow tuning your arrows for the best flight that you can get out of the arrows that you are shooting. broadheads that will hold up to the hunting in which you are doing the information that is being put out by the Ranch Fairy you put in the time and do what is being put out in these videos is going to put you on a positive path keep them a rolling on down the line very good subject matter.
