I Kindof Think all these broadhead builders are making they're heads stronger and more durable because of you John..i know they probly watch your videos.
Another cool feature is you can use the same ferrule to swap out mechanical blades as well, for a great hybrid head...that's called the Hyde. The Jekyll becomes the Hyde. Pretty cool.
I began testing that and there were some issues in the batch I had. So they are checking on that and I will get back to testing them again. I have the Oz cut Hurricane and elite three videos coming up soon.
Broadheads are sure improved from the old days when all you had to choose from was either the Ace, Bear or the Zwickey heads. I don’t know if I would go for this one, but the Sevr sure got my attention since I got old and can now only shoot a crossbow!
Great tests! I've been watching for a long time. I am curious to know what your approach is to the sharpness tester for achieving consistent results. We recently got a sharpness tester in at work, the exact same model as yours, and I found it really easy to manipulate the results by varying the speed and pressure of the actual push down when doing it by hand. I could get broadheads to apply as little as 100g of force by going quickly, even if they were clearly blunt compared to others (not shaving sharp for example). Had me thinking the only way to properly measure the sharpness would be with a mechanical part to push the Broadhead down with consistent speed and pressure.
Yeah, I’ve seen the same thing. I try to put the pressure in the same point at the same speed as much as I can. Sometimes it’s challenging due to different blade lengths and shapes and so forth. But I do my best. And I typically will test each head quite a few times Before reporting. And I always take the least score or the greatest sharpness in those tasks. Often times on one edge I can get quite a variation of sharpness. That’s from the lower quality blades.
I ordered some Evolution heads a few months ago and was very disappointed in the blade edges out of the box. I could see burrs with the naked eye and they did not seem sharp at all. I ended up returning them. Even in your video here you can see that the blade edges and bevels don't look smooth. I feel that there are better options out there.
I just finished testing the T2 100 grain. I had the 125 grain backordered for four months. Finally, I just got a refund and ordered the hundred grain and tested it. It is coming out in a couple weeks.
Great looking head BUT not in 100 grain or no way to purchase other than a 3 pack, so I will stick with My Exodus full blades. Thanks for what you do John , I believe the manufacturers are watching.
Well, I’ve tested nearly 400. So it’s nearly impossible to recall that. But I do post an excel spreadsheet in the last video of each year, summarizing the scores. They can be ranked in arranged in anyway you want. The one I posted at the end of December 2023, was for the previous two years.
What an awesome broadhead, and a even cooler channel.
Thank you! 🙏

I was really not expecting this head to do as well as it did…. It did really well. This head actually has my attention!
Yep
Wow, just when i think, you couldn't find a better head.
This was truly impressive
Yep
Wow what an impressive broadhead!
Yes sir
Never seen these until now, I might have to try out their regular Jekylls, I like the looks of them

always cool to see how different broadheads fly
Yep.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Mr Lusk do you think it would be a great Hogg buster broadhead. It performed so well and sharp.
How about the kreature by ozcut? Love the videos!
I'm waiting for that one as well....
I began testing that and there were some issues in the batch I had. So they are checking on that and I will get back to testing them again. I have the Oz cut Hurricane and elite three videos coming up soon.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures awesome! Excited to see the results
Great work as always! Looks like a beast.
Thank you...it is.

Yes sir. So many excellent choices, especially for fixed blades.
Great video John as always
Thank you!
Just ordered for elk!!!! Wow, what a head.
Great choice. Hopefully you were able to use my discount code to save a few more bucks.
That thing looks wicked!
Yeah it does.

At 1st glance I wasn't all that excited about it as it seemed to be another gimmick type broadhead. However, it performed very well.
Yeah, Dale Perry doesn't make junk.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures I can see that. High quality products
That must be one of my favorite broad heads , 👍
They are impressive.
I’m gonna try these next fall. They look so mean.
Yep!
That was unreal😮
Yep.

Yeah, they did have some small burrs. I kept that in the vid on purpose. But I would strop those out east enough.
Hey John, can you test the G5 T2 125? Trying to compare that against the other mechanicals on the market. Keep up the good work!
I just finished testing the T2 100 grain. I had the 125 grain backordered for four months. Finally, I just got a refund and ordered the hundred grain and tested it. It is coming out in a couple weeks.
@@LuskArcheryAdventurescan you give any small hints for your loyal followers on how it performed
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Thanks John!
That is impressive
Right?
@@LuskArcheryAdventures I like the back cutting edge as well for pulling out of targets. Hope your doing go today after surgery
Great looking head BUT not in 100 grain or no way to purchase other than a 3 pack, so I will stick with My Exodus full blades. Thanks for what you do John , I believe the manufacturers are watching.
Thank you
At 4:26 is that edge chatter from cardboard or just lighting? Awesome broadhead though 👍🏻
Just the lighting :) barely got edge chatter from the steel plate and concrete.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures that's what I was wondering. That must of been some crazy cardboard 🤣
Holy crap.
:)
Don’t use holy attached to that word
Being that it’s only 1.75” cutting surfaces and an overall width of 1” cut, don’t think this would be horrible to try with traditional bows???
Yep!
That was supposed to say “Do you think this would be bad to try with traditional equipment??”
👍👍
Yes sir
Wow 10 inches
thats what she said
It was impressive.
Thanks I gotta buy it now never seen it before! Lol
What's your highest scoring and lowest scoring broadheads?
Well, I’ve tested nearly 400. So it’s nearly impossible to recall that. But I do post an excel spreadsheet in the last video of each year, summarizing the scores. They can be ranked in arranged in anyway you want. The one I posted at the end of December 2023, was for the previous two years.
The highest scoring was just a few videos back (Sevr Hybrid 1.5) although imo John has some favoritism w/ Sevr
Cool looking, performed great. But I bet sharpening is a b!tch
Well, with the Stay Sharp Guide C Kit, it's not too bad...they're designed for curved blades.
I’ve shot most of there models and they all suck. Will break in foam blocks. I don’t recommend any of their broadheads
Ok
