Innerloc CARNAGE Mechanical Broadhead Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.พ. 2021
- This is one crazy looking mechanical broadhead by Innerloc...let's see how it performs at all the different levels of testing that I am currently doing--flight, edge sharpness/edge retention, penetration, and durability.
#mechanicalbroadhead
#threeblade
#accurate
For edge sharpness and retention, I do a simple push paper test over the blade. Then I stroke the edge with an Easton Hexx shaft twice, to see how dull that makes the edge--does it still cut paper? And I test the penetration thru 1/2" MDF, 2/3" Rubber Foam Mat and Clear Ballistics Gel, FBI Grade. I also see how many layers of cardboard it will penetrate through. Then for mechs, I shoot it into MDF 5 times and see how well it holds up. The scores are posted at the end of each video.
Innerloc has a fairly strong reputation when it comes to broadheads, but it also has been known to produce some rather "unusual" designs.
I always appreciate creativity in broadhead design, but sometimes it ends up backfiring. Has that happened with the Carnage? The cut size and flight of this head are excellent, but the durability is certainly suspect. And the penetration is also questionable given the blunt plunger type tip. But again, let's see how it holds up to my tests.
I'd love to hear your comments about this head...Have you used it in the field? How has it performed for you? - กีฬา

Manufacturers must shiver when they see you testing their products, your saving hunters a ton of money, thanks
Well, I just try to let the heads speak for themselves. I Broadhead is going to do what a broadhead is going to do--I just provide the tests to see what that is. I don't want a company to fear me; I do try to be respectful of them all.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures The best new product I have seen because of your videos are those magnetic heads and I would never have known about them without you. I am super grateful for your videos because so many broadheads are just horrible garbage.
I like the new music between tests way better. Keep the videos coming I really enjoy them.
Okay good. Thank you.
LOL you have got to be kidding me! I swear u should have saved this for April 1st!! No way would I sit in the woods all those hours and then at the moment of truth put all my hopes and dreams into trusting a sticker, that I had to put on no less, not a machine. No way
Haha. That's a good comment.
Thankful to have seen this. 🙏
Thanks for watching.
I was done with this head at the sticker. No Surprises here. Great job on testing 👍
Thanks Carl.
The Ranch Fairy would get a kick outta that FLAPPER 🤣
A brand new wing dinger lol.
He’s got some good points, but he takes the adult arrow thing way too far.
Haha.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures I absolutely love your channel.
@@Thisshitcrazybruh I think that’s his whole schtick. Oversell everything.
I think on flight, IF that sticker was perfect flush behind that lip, and STAYED there, flight could be great. But I cannot even fathom that the sticker would stay in place perfect with going in and out of a quiver, moisture, brush, and just general degredation of the sticker. That idea alone seems completely ridiculous to me.
@Devin Halm Yeah, hard to argue with TRF and his content.
@Devin Halm why would i shoot a 600 grain arrow when Cam Hanes Shoots a 415 grain arrow and has killed just about everything. Same with John Lusk here he has killed so much game with a far lighter arrow. You get too heavy you get to the point where game starts jumping the string.
@Devin Halm i have shot deer at 50 yds with mechanicals and have had complete pass throughs with 430 grains....too each their own thats what makes archery so great. I shoot a triax so its pretty quiet as well.
Thanks for sharing that.
A sticker? Really?
Watched with my daughter. Her comment was "well that's all show & no go!" She not even one of my kids that hunt lol.
Haha.
I was really curious to try these till I saw the sticker. That and the broken blades are enough to steer me away. Thanks.
:)
I've had super great performance out of these so far the wrap has never failed and haven't broken one yet through animals.
I had one pass right through a deer with great entry and exit holes. No broken blades. But had another deer I hit with poorer penetration than I would have expected and never found that deer. Wondering now if that one had a blade break. Sticking to turkey only with these now, and I'll switch to sevr 2.0 for deer.
I shot two deer earlier this year with these heads. Both broadheads had broken off blades on normal broadside shots. It didn’t even touch the shoulder blade. And upon closer inspection the blades that were still attached were cracked at their attachment point and barely hanging on by a thread. I managed to recover both deer but these heads will never be in my quiver again!
I have never hit direct impact on bone with my shots all have been just behind the shoulder and between ribs. Sounds like straight bone impacts can cause trouble and I've been lucky
Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
"Oh you base your design around A2 tool steel? Well mine depends on a sticker."
Haha. That's funny!
I myself wouldn't shoot it gonna stick with the SEVR thanks for another great review
Yeah, good choice.
I hunt in Hawaii where I often have to take shots over 40 yards in winds over 20 mph. I currently run Easton fmj match grade 5mm with bohning blazer 2" vanes and G5 montec fixblades. I get a lot of side travel in side wind. What set up would you recommend for less wind resistance? Mahalo for your time.
Good question Matt. I have similar challenges in some Western hunting. I really like very streamlined mechs in those conditions--like Sevr, Thorn, and some others. The more streamlined and less surface area, the better.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures mahalo for your time and all the effort you put into your videos.
Do you have a list of heads you would like to test? Like if subs wanted to send you a pack?
Man, I'd love to test anything that's not on my channel. I've been asking Truglo and Strickland to test their heads but they're not responding. Thank you!
Before you even did this test I thought to myself that this is a bad design, I did not think that the way that this is designed with the somewhat plastic piece that holds the blades would make it through bone contact and I was right as it failed twice on your test this is more of a cool looking piece than one I would actually want to hunt with it’s more of a show off piece
Thanks for the comment.
What happens to the sticker in downpour I'll bet it will fall off in about 15 min. of rain
I've not tested them when wet...but they are kind of glossy, so they may be able to handle water.
These look like a head called Revolution,I think that the right name. That has to been 20 years ago at least.
Yeah, others have said that as well. Thanks.
Just wondering if a large drinking straw would hold the blades closed? No matter I wouldn’t carry it in my quiver!
Haha. That's funny.
I do wish you would add to your tests what you mentioned in this vid an starting doing a angled test in to plywood or something see how all these heads do on quartering shots
Yeah, I used to do that, Charles. But almost every head did very well on it, so I stopped doing it. I may start it up again in 2022.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures really, I only said that cause last season had a rage 2 blade bend the ferrule over on a angled shoulder an never even entered the deer, maybe just my luck lol
It's the old Punch Cutter. Do you remember those?
I don't remember those.
Finally a mechanical that the sling blade out performed 😂
Haha. That's a good one :)
Good review and breakdown. IMO this head will require an exorbitant amount of force to even penetrate the hide of many common game- especially a grown pig. The front " blunt" round tip is basically a "blunt" type except for the little point. I would never buy them.
Yep. Thanks for commenting.
I see some other problems. If you don’t put that wrap on correctly the air will grab the open area of the wrap and it will fly erratically. Also, a person could bleed to death putting on those wraps. Funky broadhead in my opinion
They actually wrap a lot cleaner than the example he gave. I have paralyzed hands and am able to wrap them myself no problem. No cuts either. They're actually arrow wrap material and we all know how well that sticks. I had zero issues in the hot, cold, rain, and snow all season with the wraps on mine.
That being said, I won't be using them on deer anymore. Simply not durable enough.
Thanks for commenting.
how do they fly?
They fly exceptionally well.
I'll continue to use over the tops with rubber bands.
Yep. Thanks for watching & commenting.
Cool looking head, but I would worry about the sticker stay on after several days of rain, I can see them falling off, left and right, I think they need to step back, get stronger pins to hold the blades, and something a little different to hold the blades closed.
Cool idea, but I believe those are a complete fail..
Yeah, can't disagree there.
It's actually an arrow wrap, not a "sticker" per say. We all know how ridiculously well arrow wraps stick. Mine stayed on all last hunting season through heat, cold, rain, and snow.
But those blade attachment screws, dang, way too weak. And that collar should have some cutting edges on it to increase penetration.
After using it I like the wrap more than other methods and they deploy the blades super reliably. If innerloc were to improve the other issues I'd definitely use them on deer again.
Imagine sitting in a rain storm with that sticker on your broad head. Failure guaranteed!
Yeah, not my fave for sure :)
nobody does fully enclosed like Thorn Broadheads
Yeah, they do a great job with that.
It's junk John you should of all ready known that one lol great video thoe as always
Haha...but that's half the fun :)
6:20 your 🎤 past couple vids been real fuzzy at times
Yeah, I notice that too. It's happening after I upload them to TH-cam; they're fine in my final editing. I got a new and very expensive lapel mic that I'll be using in future vids. I'm still wrapping up the ones I've already done.
This kind of aperture always failed. I got the predecessor of this blade... I just bought it for collection. and to remind me to never use it.
That's funny. Thank you!
I think it's a really cool idea, but if they bulk up the pins, they could be a game changer.
Well, I always admire creativity.
Junk, I would never use these even without the tests.
What happened to the steel plate test?
He doesn’t shoot mechanical heads into the steel anymore. Not many of them were surviving more than one shot.
Yeah, James is correct.
If it fails for lusk, I won’t use them
Haha. Thanks for watching & commenting Big Mike.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures to be fair your the best tester for broad-heads out there that’s unbiased.
Pragtige kudu daar agter jou.
Thanks for watching, but I can't understand that.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures beautiful kudu behind you(the trophy). It's Afrikaans, my language. I really like your videos. They are well presented and packed with information which has made it easier for me to select a broadhead this coming season. I'm going with the ironwill solid.
That’s a no for me. I imagine the moisture in the air will not be good to those stickers.
I had a bad experience with Innerloc heads back in 2008. If I’m spending my money on heads, I’ll spend it on something that will penetrate deeper and hold up. I don’t believe that head would hold together even if it slipped between the ribs on both sides.
Thanks for sharing that Aaron.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures love your channel by the way man. I teach high school ag science, and I love seeing the scientific method put to work. Well done!
the stickers seem silly, if you put them on wrong and you get an air pocket youre gonna have some serious flight issues
Yeah, I agree.
Gimmick
Thanks for sharing.
Great idea/Poor execution. IMO if this broadhead hits any bone it will probably react the same way it did to the MDF and break blades. If they were to add thickness to the blades and beef up the pin and hole area it may prove to be a very good broadhead. I would think you could use masking tape instead of buying those silly stickers (makes them look like a bottle rocket) from them
Thanks for the comment :)
It's the three broadhead that just wants to be a 2 blade super bad.
Haha. It did good at that.
Probably one of the worst broadheads on the market today. Ridiculous, stupid, and tacky design. Glad to see another test though!
Thank you!
Needs a silicone sleeve not a sticker.
Yeah, they make their Shape Shifter that is more like that.
Wow.. I was thinking they was gonna be pretty good.. edge retention was great flight great but the rest was shit
Yep...that pretty much summarizes it.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures wasn't expecting that. But that's one reason I love watching these videos and why I love testing things out too
Lost me at sticker.
Yeah. Thanks for commenting.
You lost me with that irritating sticker lol,
Haha. Right?!
I love these videos big time!! But this makes me cringe. Water, rain, so many reasons why NOT to use this head.
Thank you, brother. I agree.
You know what it's really too bad the way you bad-mouth companies and the way you do your reviews I have used that broadhead for the last two years and I have had nothing but great success with this Broadhead you know you use these to hunt animals and deer hunt with and not shoot plywood and hey I'm glad to hear that that Broadhead won't be going in your quiver that just means they'll be more for me to buy to put in my quiver
Thank you for sharing your experience, Don. I'm really glad to hear they have worked for you. But how do you think I have badmouthed this company? I am not on their pay roll; I'm just doing standardized testing on all these heads and letting the results speak for themselves. Honestly, i get more people critiquing me for being too kind :)
I go to great lengths to strive to be respectful. I said that "many people have used these heads and liked them" and I said, "More power to them." But I also said they would not make it into my quiver. How is that badmouthing? I think that's being fair and honest...which is what any good reviewer should do.
Earliest
Thanks Colby.
Just read Dr. Ed Ashby's broadhead lethality study and quit agonizing and arguing over what kills animals best.
Haha. I've read that and respect all his research. But honestly, i do believe he has made some errors as well. No one person can have all the answers and he most certainly does not.
No thanks!!!
Yep. Agreed.
Fail
Yep!
wouldn't trust it at all and I shoot mechanical heads a lot
Yep. Agreed.
Failure in my book.
Yeah...I think it was in most people's :)
@@LuskArcheryAdventures I did like the looks and theory of what they should do.
Total junk I understand the need to try to improve on the design of the heads we shoot ☝️but some of the heads I’ve seen just are Desiner junk to take y’all money stick to what Work’s fellas! Don’t recreate the wheel .
Yeah, can't disagree there. Wait till you see another weird one I'm testing soon.
Gimmic junk. Reminds me of the tip style of the very first expandable broadhead. Horrible design imo.
Agreed.
What a piece of junk lol.
Yeah, I'm sure it "could" work, and I know many people have taken animals with it--but man, there are much better choices.
