I love these broad heads. I purchased a set of 200 grain after watching your review on them. And honestly I think I am going to get the 150s and the 125s to look into closing my pin gap and pick up a few more FPS Very much looking forward to doing business with Crimson Talon for the long term. And can’t wait to see what they come out with next. Thank you Mr Lusk for all of you work
It’s amazing to see how much rotational energy it still built up in the arrow after hitting the concrete. I’ve been trying to count how many additional rotations there are.
I bought 2 packs of these heads after your review, with your discount they are really inexpensive! i shot an average sized 5 point whitetail buck with it on a hard quartering away shot and man! this head penetrated at least 24" of deer! I'm shooting a 70lb bow and my arrows are around the 450gr mark, entrance was on the second to last rib and it exited right in the pocket on his offside shoulder. the entrance cut three ribs and was around a 3.5 inch gash, the deer only went about 40yds, i saw him fall, probably around 15 seconds to die. Great bang for the buck, pun intended , and the head was in perfect shape, thanks once again John, and God Bless.
Very very impressed with these heads and will consider those in the future for sure. If i didn't already have the very expensive annihilator broadheads i could see myself using these for sure and im very picky on my broadhead's i use and at that price point u cant go wrong with these. Thanks mr Lusk u got me thinking for sure!
These heads look like the ticket, I am gonna give them a go this whitetail season can’t wait. I have been using the black hornet by Magnus and love them but these look like what I’ll be having in my quiver this season. Thanks once again on a great video
That head performance is incredible for the money. Thanks for all you do sir. I don’t care what the peanut gallery has to say I still love it with that broadhead hits that concrete block. In this case it just proves 100% the quality of this head. The cut quality and flight are the two standards that mean the most to me.
Mine showed up in the mail yesterday. Couldn't be happier. I shot them out to 50 with zero issues. They flew extremely well for me. I can't wait to put them to use in 2 weeks in Illinois.
John this is fantastic! I ordered the Clever immediately when you aired last year using your code and again with the Croc. Thank you! Happy Hunting my friend!
I got a pack of these and the cleavers in 125 grain and they both fly well and came sharp enough to kill but I like to bring it to the next level as that seems to speed up the process. The cleavers with the vents did have a little noise but not bad at all. I have the dirt nap gear single bevel heads and they have similiar vents so I expected a loud whistle but it was just a touch of noise. I’m gonna order both in 150 after seeing the quality of the heads for the price.
I’m shooting Sevr Robustos out of. Centerpoint Amped 425. But I couldn’t stand it … I just ordered 3 of these. Use will depend on flight. This looks like a absolutely no BS HEAD. If they fly well out of my crossbow launching a 608 grain total weight bolt, it’s gonna be serious overkill. The price with your discount code was $25.xx and free shipping for 3. Thanks John. I couldn’t help trying these out. If I can get excellent accuracy, the penetration and durability might be almost unfair.
Nice heads! Great material and edge retention!Thanks for the review. Anarchy I used to shoot till they stopped making them. Loved that the ferrule matched the blade for max bone snappage and sharpening was a no brainer! Wonder if Dave could look into this possibly??? With his blade material it could be even better!
I remember the original crimson croc, still have some. They were coated and half serrated, but blade was thin and very pointed. They still worked great.
That was the first head I used. I may still have some too. Nothing like these, they’ve come a long ways. The original had little curved bleeders and the tops of the main blade had a curve to them to rotate when going through what you shout at
I’ve been playing with the K2, 125 grain, the cleaver, 150, and the croc 200. All very solid performers, and very nicely built heads, but what surprised me is that I am getting twice as much rotation with the K2, as I am with the single bevel heads. I really wish Dave made a 150 in the G2, but he makes awesome Broadheads all the way around.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures yes and thank you for correcting that John. I have edited my comment so as not to mislead or confuse anyone. The rotation of the G2 is just amazing. I know overall, the blades are not as durable as any of these single bevel’s, but should be more than sufficient for a Whitetail. However, it was a surprise that I did not expect.
@@LuskArcheryAdventuresare these a 3 pack for 29.95 it doesn’t really say on the website I added 4 to my cart with your code and it’s 101$ just wanting to make sure I’m buying 12 and not 4
I recently bought 12 of these exact heads based on your test of the 200 gr crimson talon crocs. My goal was to switch out from the expensive fixed blade broadheads and to be able to resharpen them. I have tested them on two different bows, and absolutely cannot get them to group decent beyond 25 yards. Thinking it was my bow setup I went to my pro shop and had everything checked out, which was all fine. My standard field points shoot perfectly fine. So I switched back to my previous fixed blade heads of iron wills and a kudupoint, both of which shoot amazing. Sad to say I will not be using these.
Sorry to hear that. There is a reason most heads are not this wide. They test your bow tune, arrow set up, and bow grip in a huge way. But they all spin perfectly true, so they can fly quite well.
100 grain broadheads are being phased out because they simply can't be built strong enough. 100 grains usually have razor thin blades. A 125 with a big cut is insanity,just saying.
I think I found one u haven't tested yet zing archery fracture single bevel broadheads I would love to see these put to the test nobody else does a better job than u and more is detailed keep up the good work and happy hunting
Yeah. There are a number of comments about that in the video. When I first made it, they told me they were 32°. But they were wrong about their own heads :) they have since corrected that. They originally ordered them in 32°, but the manufacturer made them in 35. That was the confusion.
In the video you say 32deg angle. I ordered a 32 deg stay sharp and its not matching up. I called Crimson Talon and they said to use the 35deg stay sharp.
Have these, shot in foam a few times and the blade came a little loose loose in the ferrule, rattles in flight now and affected the accuracy. Not sure if I can tighten the screws and fix this but it might not spin true after even if i can.
Yeah, I'd sure like to. I've asked them several times to send me some. They used to all the time and said they would each time now, but haven't yet for some reason.
I wish they came in 100 gr!! Do u think they would shoot out of my xbow? I have a Wicked Ridge Raider 400 decock crossbow. I have been looking at the TOTA 100 gr single bevel broadhead. But didnt know how hard they are too sharpen. I was looking at the single bevel for hogs. I like the rotation. I am shooting Muzzy Trocar 100gr crossbow broadheads at the moment.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures u would get a better penetration. From a single bevel broadhead. Better than a 3 blade? Go thru bone better? Like on a deer. Or thru the shield on a hog.
Sorry to hear that. But make sure you're right about that. Sometimes a thick single bevel head doesn't feel sharp--cause it's not like a double bevel that has a super narrow edge. But they can actual BE sharp and not necessarily FEEL sharp. I know that sounds weird, but the sharpness tester I use demonstrates that.
There are similarities. But man, so many heads are similar. If a company wants to protect its design, it needs to get a patent. Otherwise, there will always be similarities.
That's animal cruelty and gross greed. What the hell is wrong with you people? Didn't your mom ever tell you not to do to others which you wouldn't want done to you?
Do you not test mechanicals anymore? I am pretty sure any hunk of tempered steel is going to perform pretty well but mechanicals are a totally different animal and it's nice seeing what holds up the best and what doesn't. Thanks for all the tests though.
Oh I do. I posted the Swhacker a couple weeks ago. And I have 5 more mechs I'm testing right now. It's funny, though; I get a lot more views with fixed blade heads.
I use to when using a regular bow for about 35 years by the way but I have grown to love crossbow hunting and want to use all that energy on a wide lethal cut that I gain from good proven mechanicals.@@LuskArcheryAdventures

Insane performance! Crimson Talon really offering a broadhead for everybody and every application! Good for them. And thanks to you Mr Lusk!
Right? Thank you
Amazing broadhead!!!
Yep.
These will definitely be on my radar for a future broadhead choice. With the quality you get at this price point and with a discount you can go wrong.
Yep
Bought a few packs of these with your coupon. Used the crimson talon cleaver 150s last season on one buck and two does out of my crossbow. Excellent.
Good to hear! Congratulations
Great video, and of course, great broadhead!
Thank you
That is awesome performance regardless of the price, but amazing for $10 each!
And less with my discount code

Yep. That test is coming in a couple weeks
I will definitely be buying some of those. That's insane. Awesome video, thanks John.
Nice

That's just the broadheads I'm going with this year can't beat the price and the heads are simple yet tough as nails
Yep.
Awesome broadhead
Yep!
That was amazing

Yep!
Unreal! 👍🏻👍🏻
Right?
Would love to see some crossbow heads tested! Great channel!
I do occasionally. Most heads can work with a crossbow as well. I'm considering adding an accuracy test out of a crossbow in 2024.

I wish it came in at 100 grains. Thats just how my set up is. Running 100 grain broadheads out of my Mathews V3X 29 .
It does come in 125...that test is coming in a couple weeks.
I need a 250 grain model 🙂
100 grain broadheads are being phased out because they simply can't be built strong enough. 100 grains usually have razor thin blades. A 125 with a big cut is insanity,just saying.
Going to buy some now!!!
Nice. Remember the discount code to save even more
Crazy good head!!!!!
Right? At any price, really...but for THIS price? Wow.
Trifecta , blood sport then this croc ! Is this the first second & third line up for lead ?
This one didn't score as high, but did very well.
I think I found one u haven't tested yet zing archery fracture single bevel broadheads I would love to see these put to the test nobody else does a better job than u and more is detailed keep up the good work and happy hunting
I just finished testing them. Editing the footage now.
Just a heads up they are not a 32 degree bevel. Closer to a 36 but I sharpened mine to a 35.
Yeah. There are a number of comments about that in the video. When I first made it, they told me they were 32°. But they were wrong about their own heads :) they have since corrected that. They originally ordered them in 32°, but the manufacturer made them in 35. That was the confusion.
Test out the new tooth of the arrow single bevels!
I was…but their first batch had some flaws in the edge. They’re fixing it and will have a second batch in a week or two.
It's nice to see realistically priced two-blade broadheads that are made of STEEL instead of weak aluminum.
Yep.
You cant go wrong with these heads. Just wish they do a 2 inch cut version of it.
Well, that would be pretty challenging to get to fly well.
Very similar to the Alien V2 which has been very good for me. Crimson has the better steel looks like.
Yep. And Aliens come from china as well, I believe. As do Ozcut….and most others.
In the video you say 32deg angle. I ordered a 32 deg stay sharp and its not matching up. I called Crimson Talon and they said to use the 35deg stay sharp.
Yeah, sorry about that. The manufacturer told me it was 32, then he found out it was 35.
those will be the next broadheads i buy
Nice. Remember to use my discount code to Make the price even more impressive.
gotta be a contender for best bang for the buck.
Absolutely. Certainly is for single bevel 2 blades-especially with my discount code
Have these, shot in foam a few times and the blade came a little loose loose in the ferrule, rattles in flight now and affected the accuracy. Not sure if I can tighten the screws and fix this but it might not spin true after even if i can.
Update: Loctite and tightening the screws solved the issue completely
Good to hear your solution worked.
now we have to put Afflicter K2 fixed through 2023 protocols :D
Yeah, I'd sure like to. I've asked them several times to send me some. They used to all the time and said they would each time now, but haven't yet for some reason.
I will buy some just to make sure companies like this stay in business
Good deal.
What vanes are you using for the flight forgiveness? What are your preferred vanes for hunting with a larger Broadhead like this?
I like Blazers, attached helically.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures thank you!
Do you think that 150 croc head would be good with a 40lb recurve?
Hard to say, cause there are so many variables: Draw length, Arrow weight, Shot distance, and Animal being hunted…to name several of them.
Have you tried tooth of arrow single bevel?
I'm testing it now
Whoh, it's not often something makes me want to switch from my tried and true magnus
:)

@@LuskArcheryAdventures u would get a better penetration. From a single bevel broadhead. Better than a 3 blade? Go thru bone better? Like on a deer. Or thru the shield on a hog.
With shorter wider blade angles, how do you feel these will perform with slower trad equipment?
I've not tested them enough to speak to that. If you generate enough momentum, they will do well.
I've done allot of reading on the single bevel , but I worry about sharpness and resharpening.
What's your opinion
I don't worry about either of those. Easy to resharpen and plenty sharp.
I ordered two packs. They were very dull. I can’t seem to get them as sharp as they need to be
Sorry to hear that. But make sure you're right about that. Sometimes a thick single bevel head doesn't feel sharp--cause it's not like a double bevel that has a super narrow edge. But they can actual BE sharp and not necessarily FEEL sharp. I know that sounds weird, but the sharpness tester I use demonstrates that.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures I understand…. It took some work, but I finally got them sharp since this comment. They are awesome broadheads
Ferrule diameter at base for 150 and 200 grain crocs? Thanks!
I have no idea. You can ask Crimson Talon.
I tried. They didn't answer my email.@@LuskArcheryAdventures
These look almost exactly like the discontinued Anarchy broadheads
They are similar. Alien also makes one like it. A2 as well.
Just got some of these and they are very dull. Is this normal?
I talked with David from Kore Kut and he said that the crocs are at a 35 degree angle for sharpening.
Mine were very sharp...as the video shows. But they are one of the easiest heads to sharpen.
Wish they’d make a left bevel
Maybe in the future.
Looks like an Anarchy copy.
There are similarities. But man, so many heads are similar. If a company wants to protect its design, it needs to get a patent. Otherwise, there will always be similarities.
China made?
Company is in Texas, I believe the blades are from China. Not sure where the assembly is. You can ask them.
