"An insert has never killed an animal."
While this may be true, I have technically killed a whitetail with an arrow shaft. I was shooting an 85gr thunderhead at a deer straight below me on a twizzler. Well, apon impact with the spine, the arrow deflected. The shaft broke behind the insert. The head clipped top of the back lung and exited at the top of the shoulder blade, but the shaft continued down lodging into the heart. The deer stiff legged, the blood pressure popped off the nock, and the deer bled out threw the shaft of the arrow.... quite an interesting experience, and technically, the shaft was what delivered the lethal wound🤣
It's all about shot placement🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Michael Ficarro There is most definitely truth in that statement. But, I've seen too many times that an arrow deflected. I've long been an advocate of shooting a heavier arrow with a stiffer spine. I'm just happy someone else has been compiling the data that supports my belief.
@@slimjimmy229 no I 110% agree with you, just being funny with what the other side always says..
@Michael Ficarro I have a buddy who always tells me that every year when we're shooting 3D leading up to season. He always dogs my 520gr arrow and trajectory arch on the longer shots. He's also a much, much better shot than I am. Well, I'll tell you that he has called me for help tracking 7 times in the last 10 years.... I've had to call him zero. Enough said.
Went through the whole body, "and I still can't find the damn thing."
WOW! So much kinetic energy! It probably had enough left over to bury itself in the ground!
Just bought these and the 3-blade. I've been looking for a 200 grain broadhead, so thank you Sir!
Most modern manufacturers are planning obsolescence in their products, making new products that do not last or have the historical quality of whatever kind of products they produce. You are a true revolutionary in your work and to all those that help you in all of the equations necessary to find the best performance in arrows, Thank You!
great stuff, I ordered these back in March 200g. Shot one at my foam target and it chipped. Contacted ToughHead, who kindly replaced it and recommended that I get a new target bc something metal must be inside it, causing it to chip, as the broad head won't just chip on its own. I changed targets. These fly great at my 654g set up, similar to the guy at the end of this video shooting that Aoudad!
Damn, wish I'd waited on ordering, JUST recently got Iron Will's 200gr single bevel. These look great!
My 200 grain RF TUFFHEADS came today love the packaging
Can't wait tell they are back in stock.
I bought these. Can’t wait to try them
This is just great!!!! Now I have to explain to my wife why I need new broadheads.
Its as bad as fishing lures!!!
I just tell mine it’s for filling the freezer 😂
I'm going to ask my wife to get me a set of these for my birthday. My arrow setup this season is: Sirius Apollo 250, Iron Will HIT inserts/collars, and Tooth of The Arrow 175 grain broadheads. Total arrow weight is 550 grains at just over 15% FOC. Mr. Fairy, thank you for your content and research! I'm looking forward to trying these broadheads soon.
Thanks for your business.
There it is!!!!! Love the shirt!
👍🏼😂👍🏼
Lol love the shirt ranch fairy!
I’ve been waiting for this 🎉
OK, Now I can get behind the RF broadhead. (Pretending you care, LOL) I was very frustrated that you preached Ashby and the RF broadheads were just not Ashby. Thank you for continuing to push.
Love the shirt!
Look like awesome heads. I agree shooting into concrete blocks prove nothing. BUT a video showing them grouping at 40m would be great - and probably help sales even more.
Just got mine in today!
Thanks for your support.
@@RanchFairy absolutely! Can't wait to share photos of my success with them this season!
Right on!
Probably buy some of those. thought about the 2nd gen ones last year but didn't like the steepness; going to replace my Grizzly single bevel 185 gr. I only have 2 left.
About the bent broadheads.. You can imagine how much power it needs to bend it pushing it towards a table. All that energy could be used to penetration.
I still use mechanicals for smaller game because of their wider cut. But recommend to use one piece thick material fixed blades to anything 100+kg.. or even smaller
Love the Tee!
Read books much?
@@RanchFairy LOL! I'd like to say our Prime Minister here in Canada also reads but I think he's using it as a manual!
Love the shirt
So folks wanted heavier inserts behind 125 grain TuffHeads? I guess I just can’t figure this stuff out. I was planning to glue a 125 grain insert into my 250 spine arrows behind my old 200 grain TuffHead single bevels.
People really need to listen to RF about reducing the insert weight. Especially western hunters who may take long shots, 50,60 plus yes. I started using Iron Will's insert system. Using 25 grain insert with 10 grain collar , and it's titanium and steel no aluminum. Anyway the flight is phenomenal, if your looking for flat trajectory. I've looked at using the 10grain insert with the 10 grain collar but with a 200 grain broadhead I'm worried it might move around ,not enough weight. But your definitely on to something with using lower weight insert and going heavier on the broadhead.
Freaking Awesome!!!!
Those worksharp systems are amazing. Good looking broadhead, really like the bleeder blades. Are they going to be offered in a 150 or 175?
We can't keep them on the shelves. When we have excess inventory, we'll add different weights.
I have shot cutthroats and now VPA. I like VPAs lack of voids/pockets. How do these broadheads compare in length? I only saw blade length.
Also why do they have the pockets? Ashby talked about not having abrupt edges to aid in penetration. I would imagine some of these pockets and edges would be similar to having a ferrule that is small in diameter than the arrow shaft. Just a thought?
Are there any plans on 250 or 300 grains in the future?
Are you going to make a 300 grain like the meathead
What is the bevel angle on these? Is it the 30 degrees it says on the website or is that the angle of the blade in terms of cutting diameter?
Any idea of when your three blade will be back in stock?
ranch fairy, I shoot mostly traditional archery. I’ve often wished I could have a single bevel broadhead with a cutting width greater than 1 1/8 inch. With efforts made to provide superior penetration, why can we not have a wider cutting diameter? Is it difficult to get a 1 1/4 broadhead to fly well out of a compound? I feel my penetration on white tails following the Ashby system could handle wider cutting diameters.
Does it matter how the broadhead is clocked in relation to the fletching?
Hey Troy where can we buy your broadhead? Also, what brand name Strop do you recommend?
You sold me on the meat heads I was going to go with iron will, but I’ve been watching a show for a long time..
This one is a Swiss army knife, with bleeders or without! Price point is solid.
Make a video about how to choose inserts on the sirius website for the apollo shafts. Im dying to order some along with your broadheads but theres about 8 options for inserts and im not sure what any of them are. The way they are worded doesnt exactly give it away other than the grain weight.
Hey Troy! I trust your broadhead enough to hunt with them ( that says alot) where can I buy them?
What size arrow would you use. 400 or 350?
So are the 200g 3 blades from last year now a thing of the past?
Nice broad head. I went to Sirius Archery and they are out of stock and the notify me link is not working. I'll keep checking back .Keep up the great work Troy
About a week or so. And 2024 model is improved !
Heavy inserts are longer, increasing dynamic spine and changing your arrow flight. So if you tuned out a given weight you probably want to keep the same insert. It might seem like splitting hairs but when you are shooting a lot of draw weight and a heavy arrow too, anything that increases the dynamic spine is a GO! And it makes a noticeable difference. But if you already tuned that arrow you probably want to keep the same insert length you tuned with too.
I have some 200 grain .246 inserts that are 2.55” long. If you don’t think that will effect your dynamic spine you’re crazy. It’s almost like shooting a arrow 2.5” shorter.
Can you send us bare shaft shooting proof of concept? I've seen this discussed and theorized, but never tested
@@RanchFairy ok, i guess i gotta start a video series. I shoot a 80 pound pse expedite nxt @ 30”, you may not have the same struggle at 60 pounds. I pretty much have to make 250 spines work, i bet your wizard friend can break it down for you as well.
Long story short, a 2” insert prevents 2” of the arrow from flexing. It’s not new data and i think you know exactly what i am talking about, just hedging your bets that i dont have time (or desire) to create and edit videos? Or sincerely interested?
You have to know im not trying to issue a challenge, i follow you on here and use your content to build my system, except i like a lot of weight. I’m pushing 602 grains 291 fps
@@bryanheimann5370
I think you should start a series. But do know, you are quite out of bounds for the standard guy running normal DW and DL.
You are in the 1% and by your comments chipping at "60 pounds" quite ready to measure peckers.
So your results will not be typical. If you do your series and lower DL and DW, I bet (remember I mess with a lot of arrow systems) you won't see the same results equivalently to set in stone. But I do know a pile of guys running heavy DW for cape buff and other big nasties in Africa. They don't seem to stand on this one, single, soapbox very long. They focus on the whole arrow and arrow flight.
Send me your series and testing link. I'd like to see the results. More knowledge the better.
@@RanchFairy i am confused, are you telling me its no harder to tune arrows for 80 pounds than 60? Or offended by my comment referring to 60 pounds?
I am sure yours is bigger, my pecker is just harder to pull.
The longer insert definitely helps, it is only part of the system.
Geeze
@@RanchFairythe crazy thing about this is i just went from a fan and a follower to wondering if i am going to be the subject of one of your rant videos and thereby publicly humiliated because i disagree with you on one small point under very special circumstances, and i don’t want to spend all my free time trying to create content just to prove a point. I am sure your friends hunting cape buffalo shoot black eagle 150’s, or grizzly stick 170’s, or something from Bishop and the arrows probably weigh 1,500 grains.
To be real honest i have thought about switching to a 60 pound resurgence LD so i can build a heavy high foc arrow without any drama, and source all my components locally. But i have been seduced by the power of a fast powerful bow, i have magnumitis and there is no cure. It must run it’s course.
I am 76yrs old shot 2315 with nap spitfires for years and killed a lot of deer. I shoot a bowtec ss on comfort setting at 60 lb with 450 grains same nap spitfires no trouble shooting through both sides of a deer. My kid shoots comp 3d and shooting pin gap on unknown distances with heavy arrows won't put you in the winners circle. If you can't shoot through both sides of a deer with 50lb change your set up so it will. What you say with the charts and math on heavy arrows is correct. But it isn't the best set up for shooting bucks in the brush, been there done that if was I would still be shooting 2315.
TROY when will there be a left version?
Anyone who complains about a well made single bevel doesn't understand capitalism. IDK about the aforementioned complainer...but I like options. I remember not to long ago looking to order some name brand single bevels and them not being in stock. I switched my arrow setup in part due to this channel. I can tell you my recovery rate on pigs in FL swamps drastically improved... I'll have to order some RF broad heads. Thanks for the education!
This looks exactly like cut throat single bevel just with added bleeder blades
🤭
Please make this in left bevel. My bow slings bare shafts naturally left rotation. Why not keep that natural off the string rotation?
Challenge: go shoot an unknown yardage 3d course with your heavy logs then go shoot it with a 450 set up see what the difference in scores. Shooting bucks in the brush is a lot different than shooting pigs in a field at 20 yrds under a feeder.
Keep up the chippy comments. I ALWAYS say I use the feeders and pigs to replicate average whitetail distance hunting situations, allowing a ton of shots in live hunting situations, to study ON MEAT arrow performance.
You probably missed that by not paying attention.
Now, on the unknown distance BS.
1. Between each pin is generally 5 yards (assuming 10 yard increment)......200FPS, 250, FPS, 300 FPS. Your brain gets used to the trajectory and your "guesstimate" if you practice....will be very accurate. (remember, I am OLD, we shot 2018 aluminums and 150 grain broadheads were normal when I started due to lack of weight availability and we whacked all kind of stuff).
2. What do you say to someone shooting 450 grains and they can only pull 50#? Should they just stay out of the field even through they can shoot 50 yards but gaps are more open and trajectory doesn't hit YOUR predisposed "perfect"? If you are philosophically consistent you should say, yes, they should not hunt at all due to lack of speed.
But you won't Logic requires introspection of your viewpoint.
3. Your philosophy and my facts will always be at odds. I'm trying to build and study the most efficient killing sticks to fly at critters and penetrate in the most impact points (mistakes will be made by archers and animals can jump the string).
You are trying to hit them and hoping it will penetrate. Free country, move on to the group of super archery folks you like to hear from.
Oh yeah. I'm about to drop some money. But, I'll also be dropping animals in a more effective and efficient way. Awesome stuff. Great video.
Yo RF, in the video at 4:53 you say that the bevel is 28 degrees but the website says they are a 35 bevel. I ordered a six pack of these and got to sharpening one with the precision adjust after missing a doe on opener, and it is a 35 degree bevel. I've been trying to see how it would be with the 28 bevel and I'm shaving off a bunch of metal, should I be worried about taking to much off? Because once I get to having to sharpen the others I'm gonna knock them down to a 32 or 30 bevel. Was there a reason why the Sirius guys made it a different bevel than what you said, and will the broadheads get updated to a 28 bevel? Just curious over here since I don't I've seen any comments about it.
We had a significant issue with the steel temper, we lost a bunch of heads that will never be sold and had to change it. Put the tower at the highest setting and reset the bevel. Should be about 32 degrees on the precision adjust. The rest of the process is the same.
Nice stuff love to try your arrows but money going into me strings for my 8 year old bow😂 to broke for the rich stuff.
How do you think they will shoot in a crossbow? I really like the way they look and am looking for a new head for this deer season
I'd look up dragging deer you tube channel, he did a whole x bow tuning series, and tune the bolts. Or search "Ranch Fairy crossbow". Do that with 200 grain points and you will be happy. They will certainly handle the velocity and impact!
Thank you I appreciate you responding to me and I will be looking into both of them…… Good luck and good hunting!
Waiting on the left bevel...
Agreed! They would be on my arrows if they would make them.
Why is left better?
@Anonymous F It's not. I am left handed and started that way with my arrows. All my arrows I fletched left wing.
Me too!
Ditto...
7:21 Will this head work with a supernova 2.0 250 spine? Is ferrule diameter equal or greater than shaft diameter for the bigger arrow?
100% it will work!!!
Thru and thru of the thoracic cavity doesn't allow them to draw a breath, ever again. Put a straw in your next drink and place a finger on the end. Remove the straw and the liquid doesn't run out, VACCUM. When you remove your finger, the liquid runs out. An in and out is ALWAYS better than just an in!
Nice upgrade to your broadhead!
Class of '84 RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
87 here!
@@RanchFairy Just a pup! lol
Not true they breath in and out till they die.
Is your "heavy arrow handload" video still around? Not seeing it.
I updated it. Look in the Ordering and Arrow tuning playlist
Just bought 3. Looking forward to punching through a black bear soon.
George Orwell 1984 I read that book once upon a time lol
Why do the ranch fairy 200 grain heads I just got have a 35 degree bevel? My worksharp won’t go that high and the video on sharpening clearly shows you sharpening at a 28 degree?
We had a major tempering issue and would have lost about 50% of the heads. Unfortunately, they told me after they went into the store.
Despite that. You can grind the edge down to the highest setting on the Worksharp. Since the edge is now tempered.
Put a block of wood (apparently a snuff can works great - one of my subs) under the clamp so you can press down.
My apologies.
I love the design of your broadhead, but I am not interested in the blood ring feature at all and I don't want to pay for the machining needed on the broadheads to accommodate for the blood rings.
And that clearly increases the price on the broadheads by a considerable amount.
Do you have plans to make and sell those broadheads without that option?
I have tried to find the hardiness of the broadheads, but I have not been able to find it anywhere.
What is it?
Hardness is mid 50's RC
@@RanchFairy
Thank you.
Are these heads made of the s7 tool steel? Sirius website says high carbon steel, and I was just curious. Thanks!
They are not. I wanted to keep the cost reasonable. It's an excellent steel. The fun thing about steel is if the temper is not correct. S7 or kitchen knife. It doesn't matter. I've been amazed how much that matters.
Appreciate what you do. Thanks for the response.
What is your opinion on bleeders? Seems to me the whole point of a single bevel is maximum off the charts penetration. Bleeders, it seems to me hinder this. Even if its a super small amount, they have to reduce penetration somewhat. Seems counter intuitive
It is untested formally. All of our kills with bleeders have shown no issues. But there hasn't been anything over 200 pounds and no hard bone impacts. Our blood rings are small...just to address your concerns.
I went through the humerus of the shoulder of a 150 inch whitetail with a 125 grain single bevel iron will with bleeders at 35 yards and had no issues. deer died in sight and was plowing dirt the whole way
Wow ! And here I thought I only needed a stick and string with a sharp stick with feathers 🪶 and I could poke critters and they die ! Oops 😬!
I don't see Bud light?
Any chance these will come in other weight options?
Not this year.
i dont see a bleeder blade option on them ?
On the website - Tuffhead side, look for blood rings.
If you reduce the insert weight you make the FOC better,right?
So, if you increase the point mass and decrease insert mass you should land at the same place.
HOWEVER, and this is a bit of minutea. The increased point mass will very slightly increase FOC, because yes, its more forward.
I'd work on perfect arrow flight first before worrying about that.
As noted. One piece broadheads have very limited weaknesses at impact. Much better system.
@@RanchFairy crossbow here. I ordered Sirius Phoenix 300 gr. 22 inch bolts and a field point kit and have deducted my 3 hunting arrows out of the lot that fly the best. To be honest the 200 gr. and 300 gr points fly exactly the same with the same point of impact to 30 Yards. Not tried out past that but since the flight and impact mirror each other roughly, I am going to go with the 200Gr. broadheads figuring it will up the speed some. I pretty much keep shots in the 40-50 yard max zone and most are under that. Now it's a question of do these single bevels fly close to the field point, hoping so. Minor adjustments I am sure will get us 'on point' I suspect.
@@jeffhays1968 Heck yeah.
Send me pictures this fall! Troy@ranchfairy.com
When are they going to be in stock
We are doing a facelift - Spring 2024
Don't take it as accusatory, just curious why you didnt go S7 for your head and how it compares to s7?
S 7 was a significant cost increase for limited gain per $.
👏👍
When are we getting the 300gr?
That is on the list.
Left bevel???
🏹🎯
Can you get this in a 100 grain or even better 75?
Archers !
Listen carefully! This Ranch Fairy 🧚♂️ character is going to help us kill game animals more effectively and that’s going to make hunting better!! Track 60 yards vs track for 600 yards ! 😮😮😅😂
So most single bevel broadheads are made right bevel why is this because most arrows want to twist left so we fletch left I just can’t grasp why everyone wants to produce right bevel?
Cuz they dont want the head to loosen and they're too lazy or dumb to loctite their heads on
That’s a carbon copy of a cutthroat with blood rings
Rmsgear cutthroat
@@coltonmerriman1296 Well, they don't have the cut out in the back, they don't have blood rings and as noted. Screwdrivers, tired, pliers, etc. are pretty much the same tool.
So, some companies innovate. Some sit around and hope that the same old thing will be a winner. Are they similar? Yep. Except for the differences. Ya think the boys at my competition could have dreamed up anything new?
They do in fact have the cut out on the back just added the blood rings
CTRL + C .... CTRL + V
I love reading these comments. I own both now and side by side they are completely different. The RF ferrule is much bigger in diameter and smooth from tip to arrow. The cutthroat has a very sleek ferrule and then steps up to match the diameter of the arrow. I had a tough experience on an elk with a recurve due to this abrupt step up (I believe). 200 grain cutthroat next to a 200 grain RF, two completely different heads. They are similar only with the cut outs in the blades due to each company trying to achieve a longer broadhead at the given weight. But what do I know
lets add a blood ring so it will be an Iron Will....
Would have bought some but you don’t have 250gr… but hey you got the 125gr…..
2 minute in.
Can take the facial gestures.
Then go watch some tough guy with a tan and some tattoos! Whatever makes ya stiff!!
Pretty sure Johnny there shot that sheep with a 200 gr Grizlystick Samurai if you’re gonna use his video at least give the man a proper shoutout.
Well, I know him very well and he didn't say.
Hello Fairy 🧚♀️, get that head left Helical and this dude is all over them, ok Ranch 👍 👌
