This 1 was a surprise to me. It performed far better than I expected. I do believe the solid blade of the Dangerous Game model would be better not only for strength but it should also be far more quiet in flight
@@LuskArcheryAdventures It's been a long time since I've seen a video from anyone measuring the amount of sound a broadhead produces. This is very important in the field as a loud broadhead will make a deer duck the string faster than a loud bow when the range exceeds 30 yards. Maybe with your engineering experience you can rig something up for measuring broadhead sound at say 40 yards. It would make great content for the channel. Food for thought
Since I can't shoot a vertical bow due to a torn rotator cuff. It would be cool to see all of the testing done with the crossbow. Especially the cinder block test. Thanks for the video man.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the cinder block test initially, as I just didn’t see it as a relevant test for hunting, but I’ve begun to appreciate it for what it is. It’s just the ultimate durability test, and it’s really cool when a broad head does well on all other metrics, and still passes the cinder block test.
@@JohnLuskOutdoorslooking forward to seeing your outcomes with these! Just saw that you mentioned you’re in the hospital. Take care of yourself and get better soon!
I ordered some Jekyll and Hyde heads a while back and ended up returning them. First, the blade edges were awful and had visible burs on every blade right out of the box. Second, the polymer pin thing for the mech blades was a pain in the butt. Not worth the hassle. I like the Trifectas better.
Is it just me or is the set screw missing at the bottom of the ferrule that should hold the main blades on the head you are testing? I see one on that Dangerous Game one you show as an example but not on the 125 right in the beginning on the spinner.
That’s a difficult one to answer. You can look through my videos, or the score sheets that I post at the end of each year summarizing all of the heads I test. And you can rank them in terms of durability, if you’d like.
I just posted a video about that last week. You ought to check it out. It is 677 grains. And I am getting 298 ft./s. I also took a couple hogs with it in that video to show how it performed in the field.
From a tree stand? I’d use a big mech. They’re not difficult to penetrate-just stay clear of the shoulder. And their fat and hair absorb a lot of blood, so you want a big hole. You can kill them with anything, but I’d use a Sevr 2.0 or Evolution Hyde or if I did want to use a fixed, it would be a big one like Dead X Bowhunting Big Game 3 or BloodFlow or the Trifecta 1.5” fixed.
Those are some nasty heads! I like your tests.
Yep! Thanks
Thanks

Yep. I agree with that as well.

Thank you. I may do more of that in the future.
Hope you're getting some good news on that back. Great test thank you sir
Thank you. It’s going to be a long road to recovery, but I’m just trying to take it one day at a time.
Cool head, definitely worth a look
Yep

Yes sir.
I would love to see you test the 200grn. Ranch Fairy single bevel when they are available.
I’d like to do that.
Have you seen the new Annihilator single bevel broad heads?
Yep. At the ATA. They’re sending me some to test soon.

Thanks
I think it would be a good whitetail head I like the design
Yep. Penetrates very well. Elk and moose also
Yep. Really anything in N America.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
Would like to see the new exact archery heads put to the test. U tested the originals but they have a new one out
Yeah I have them already. Eager to test them. But my hospitalization may delay that.
Is it just me or is the set screw missing at the bottom of the ferrule that should hold the main blades on the head you are testing? I see one on that Dangerous Game one you show as an example but not on the 125 right in the beginning on the spinner.
It’s not missing but just inset. However, there was one that I noticed was missing. I don’t know if that was in the video or not.
It’s a neat looking head….
Yep
What would you say are the strongest 4 blade heads on the market?
That’s a difficult one to answer. You can look through my videos, or the score sheets that I post at the end of each year summarizing all of the heads I test. And you can rank them in terms of durability, if you’d like.
How heavy is that combo head/bolt for your crossbow? Also, do you know what kind of speed you're getting?
I just posted a video about that last week. You ought to check it out. It is 677 grains. And I am getting 298 ft./s. I also took a couple hogs with it in that video to show how it performed in the field.
@@JohnLuskOutdoors Thanks brother, I'll give it a watch.
Let me know if you have any questions
Blades could well be a one time use. Which should always be expected in mechanical heads. 👍👍
I’m eager to test them in the field to see that. The mechs did very well.
Hey John! Would you go fixed or mechanical for black bear? I’m finding awesome arguments either way.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures thanks for the advice!! I do have some sevr 2.0’s I was just testing them today and they grouped great!
I think you forgot to say what the cutting diameter is.
No he told us 3/4 front blade and main blade is 1 inch
Naw it’s in there
If you're not first your last
Haha. Thank you
:)
71 layers with that wide of a cut? WOW! Next logical step is to see you field test on a hog John. I predict a great but short bloodtrail............
Yep! And the dangerous game head will no doubt be much more durable. These are really winners.
Yes sir
I suspected that failure as soon as I saw the head. Fragile construction. The dangerous version I'm sure would be much better.
Yeah, I’ve tested it before and it did very well, even in the concrete. I’ll be doing a new test of it soon, as soon as my back heals up.
