3 Blade Broadhead Test: Bishop Holy Trinity & QAD Exodus
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2017
- These are two of the very best 3 blade fixed broadheads on the market. Bishop makes the most durable one piece CNC machined head and Exodus makes the most durable replaceable blade head. Let's see how they handle some punishment.

For more than half the price and replacement blades the Exudes make more sense to me. Excellent test!!
Yeah, I like the Exodus...but the Bishop will last forever, as long as you don't lose it.
For 40 bucks the QAD is a solid head! Probably the the most durable head I've seen tested in that price range and even better than some higher cost heads.
Yep, I completely agree. I've long said it is the best overall broadhead in the "normal" price range. I love the replaceable blades, love the flight, love the edge retention, and love the size of the cut. I've taken well over 50 animals with the Exodus so far; it always gets the job done. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Did you use the swept back or full blade version on the animals you took?
You are blowing my mind with the audio
Yeah, this vid was one of my earlier ones. I've upgraded my equipment several times since then. Sorry about that.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures No worries, I am soaking up all of your videos. Just bought a liberty 1 and I am loving it and hope to start hunting this next fall.
Yup, can't pass on the Exodus! For price the availability and replaceable blades, thats a bonus imo! Great review!
They are one of the very best. And each time I test them, I'm reminded about that.
Did you ever shoot the regular exodus? The ones you show on this video are the swept type.....and here in NY they illegal but I have a like 50 heads of the regular and I don't think they fly like field tips
I've tested them both extensively. For a while, they were the only heads I was using. I shot both the Swept and the Full models. The Swept were slightly more forgiving in flight than the Full, but both flew well. If your bow is well tuned and your form is consistent, they will pop balloons out to 80 yds no problem...and probably further.
Wow that Bishop is pretty impressive man. Have you ever shot the VPA 3 blades? Looks very similiar.
The guy who designed the VPA also helped on the design of this Bishop head. But the Bishop is thicker and shorter. With less surface area, it is more forgiving in flight. With its modified geometry, it is less prone to a tip curl. In the S7 tool steel, this is absolutely THE strongest broad head ever made.
What two broadheads would you recommend best for busting through the shoulder of a buck??? What grain would you recommend also??? Looking at changing my broadheads for 2021. Been watching your past videos.
@@shannonlaforce8459
I would also like to know?? How does the tooth of the arrow 1" cut vented or soild compare to these two broadhead???
@Lusk Archery Adventures , we want a HOLY TRINITY vs DEL-MA PENETRATOR MA3-125 Head to Head into the concrete zero penetration test !
That will become LEGENDARY !!!
Good suggestion. I am not sure how the "high carbon steel" would compare to S7; theoretically, it would not. The Charpy Scores are dramatically different. And the Penetrator has such a significant surface area, the flight would be much less forgiving than the Bishop. Each have the same size cutting diameter, so that's intriguing, but I think the flight and durability would be quite different. But a test would be intriguing. Thank you for the suggestion.
Have you released the new exodus video yet? I could only find the one vs the Stryker V2
Not yet, as of July 19, 2021. It's coming either this week or next--it performed VERY well.
Did you spin test the Bishop after impact on steel?
Yes I did--it held up extremely well.
what would be your head of choice for moose and brown bear out of a 70lb prime 440grn arrow? I have anarchy broadheads but have never shot an animal with them. Im thinking about using the exodus but I would love your opinion...
Thanks for watching Jason. I really appreciate it. For Moose and Brown Bear, the Exodus would be an excellent choice. I consider it the toughest and best overall head in the "normal" price category.
Looks badass i would buy a metal detector with those broad heads that way kids were not leaving till we find my arrow
Haha. That's a good one :) Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.
Another entertaining video from LAA!!! I tried the QAD Exodus and loved their sharpness. But i found arrows kinda taking on a life of their own couple yards before hitting target. I lost confidence in them and traded for other broadheads. I had better experience with the VPAs but they too although less than QAD take on an erratic flight patter sporadically. I'm currently shooting the Magnus buzzcuts for my fixed blade broadheads. I'm shooting the Trypans for my expandables based 100% on your recommendation. And that was a great suggestion from you. Now where in carnation did you slay a 700lb hog??? Sounds like hogzilla!
Thanks Donovan. I've not had that problem with the flight of the Exodus; I can pop balloons at 100 yards with them. They're not the most forgiving head, but are in the top several, at least from my testing. But all those you mentioned are great ones. That hog was on a ranch in CO. It's a 1000 acre hunting ranch were the hogs come from domestic stock, but are set free on the ranch and actually get surprisingly wary over time. But the domestic stock gives them the size and good taste :)
So which one...bishop, exodus, or Magnus black hornets???
Well, it all depends on what you're hunting and how much money you have. I really like all of those heads-- the Bishop is by far the toughest...and the other two make bigger holes.
Do these 2 broadheads whistle in flight?
Not much...not any louder than my vanes anyway.
John- Your video shows the swept model. Do you have any experience with the standard model? Which do you recommend, and why? Thank you.
Great question Matt. I have tested both extensively and have taken over 50 animals (lost count after that) using both models. They are both excellent heads but the Swept are slightly more forgiving in flight at longer ranges and they are equally as strong. The thinnest part of both of the blades is the same, actually, so the extra size of the Full blade does not really help it's strength. And some have found that the Full blades can actually bend back into the arrow and cause damage. I've never seen that happen in all my testing, but I have read from someone who said it did with them.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Thank you
Im going to buy a 3 pack of Bishop Holytrinity S7 125g broadheads, that will last me my whole hunting life! Expensive but you only have to buy 1 pack, ever!
True that! Those things are amazing! Get some reflective wraps and/or lighted nocks so you don't lose them :) Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope you can check out some of my other broadhead tests and hunting vids :)
Lusk Archery Adventures I have and I do
Worth the price & wait. I put 2 into a buck that was close & had 2 pull the deer up off of the arrows! Arrows still spin true. Buried very well into the ground. 1st shot tight on the shoulder clipped the cord on the bottom of the spine & I thought I had a pass through. He dropped so quick @ 11 yards we will never know. U get 3 & later u might have 2 buy a single but still worth it.
I love my bishop three blades
Yep, they're as good as it gets! Thanks for watching and commenting.
When you're talking Rockwell hardness are you sure you're comparing on the same scales? (i.e. HRB vs HRC) Because a 55 HRC is significantly harder than a 60 HRB. In all my experience tool steels are measured with diamond indenters in HRC and stainless is measured in HRB with a steel ball indenter and aren't directly comparable without converting.
Thank you for your comment; I really appreciate it. I believe I am using the same scale in this comparison, but I will check it out more thoroughly to confirm that. Thanks!
It looks like you lose cutting on the exedus due to 1/4 of the broad head is the tip. Then the blade is kinda hidden behind and under the tip
No cutting is lost. The total diameter of the cut is 1 1/4". What happens with that lip has nothing to do with the total cutting diameter.
I went to Bishop's website and after seeing their prices I need a priest to confess the language I used , no way
:) They are definitely a niche market. They’re all made in the US with US steel and extremely difficult machining of their proprietary S7 Steel. They have no employees, and the owner/designer has a full time job as a school principal. Their margins are extremely low. So the money is well spent, but it is certainly not for most budgets.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Good information, thanks for sharing
Do you have a discount code for the QAD Exodus?
No, I wish I did. But because they are sold on Amazon and other big box stores, they can't give one. I do have a code for Tooth of the Arrow and Sevr, and am about to get one for Afflictor and some others.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures hey no problem! If I ever decide to try out any of the others I'll be sure to ask. I've watched a lot of your videos great content considering I'm new at archery. I did decide to go with the Exodus swept blades.
Is the exodus still your go too broadhead?
For elk and deer? U have tested a lot of broadheads since this vid.
Ya know, I do use a lot of different heads, cause I like to test them in the field. And lots of them will get the job done. I just finished a new test of the Exodus, using my latest protocol--and it did exceptionally well; one of the very best. Hard to beat it, especially in that price range.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures I think I will try them but just realized that the swept version is considered illegal in Oregon as it qualifies as a barbed head. Are the full as good? I am also going to try the reaper hybrid. Thanks for all your videos by the way I have watched a lot of them 😀
WOW! That Bishop website is insane. 700 bucks for 3 arrow shafts is just silly!! Or 699 for 3 600 grain broadheads. WTF.
Yeah, they have a very niche market with extremely high end materials & machining.
I love the heads and know they are amazing, but there is no way I can hope to afford anything from Bishop archery. It is extreme quality but a very high price and with how frequently arrows are lost or you don't quite get a pass through and the animal runs off and you never find it and so on that's just too risky for that price. And with the quality of the Exodus being so high and so much cheaper I think its the more reasonable option either that or some sevr heads.
Yep, I understand that Carston. Bishop is definitely a niche company for the people who have very thick wallets and want the very best. But you're right, there are many other great options that will certainly get the job done.
The Bishops literally cost 10x the Exodus heads.
Yeah, they're not cheap.
Well for $400 a 3-pack I think I'll pass on the Bishops.
Yeah, they are a real niche head for pretty thick wallets.
Lmao
Please change your mic. It's horrible!!!
Completely agree. I did change it about a month ago and the latest vids all have the new one. Sorry for the crappy sound!
