I shoot grim reapers. They work great, open every time and are lethal. Being “one and done” doesn’t bother me to much as it’s just a small piece of the total investment it takes to hunt
Cut the fetching off and shoot your field points at about 7 yards to see if your arrow is coming off the bow plum. Get that right then shot your broadhead then field point and make adjustments as needed to getting together. Then use your fixed because they are more reliable. One arrow for everything.... Cheers.
interesting video always wondered how much of a difference fixed vs mechs would make fro accuracy for a "normal" shooter.... hard to get much from watching pro level shooters/bow tuners do tests. I noticed how you catch the bow with your bow hand (close your grip) after each shot.... I used to that as well, did not think much about it assuming the shots over by that point but after watching slow motion video of myself I could see I am grabbing long before the arrow has left the string. would not have guessed that. I must have been grabbing pretty consistent because my groups only shrank by around an inch at 50 yards or so BUT I did have to make a fairly significant windage adjustment once I stopped and it became much much easier to get my bare shafts to hit with field point also my bad shots or flyers are much closer to the group than they were before. Hope I dont sound like an internet know it all, I have only been shooting for a couple years only wanted to mention it because it was such an easy gain to make and I see it often.
QAD Exodus is what I go with now, accurate as the rage and doesn’t break after one shot. I’ve shot them all over the years. Just comes down to what you can be confident with should be the #1 reason for your choice.
@@DiffleysLandscapingmaybe some nock off Amazon ones but exodus will go into a concrete block and come out perfect so I’m not sure what you were shooting. Go watch Lusk archery adventures test the exodus into Steel plates and a concrete block
From my experience I put a slight angle to my bow hand not to tilt the bow but to reduce the torque your putting on the bow and I very gentle rest two or three fingers on the front part of the handle. Don’t squeeze your fingers there mainly there to assure You will never drop the bow and you may not be as prone to close your hand after you fire the the string. In my experience. I’ve been shooting bows since I was 13 and over the years I’ve learned not to grab the bow after I shot because it will throw off your shot. Excellent video. I hope this may help ya
I am the opposite, I think it would have been a great video without the extra slomo shots... And a bit less talking, just shoot them and let's see the groups...
Accuracy pends on the shooter. The broadhead will do it’s job what it was created for. It’s up to the shooter to place the shot in the right spot. Nice video but I feel like you took better shot placement with the broadhead of your person choice. I’ve seen video of shooters making annihilator robinhood shots.
@@ericbalmes3820 you'll love them. Shot a doe quartering to me at 20 yards. Made a 5" cut in the left shoulder and came out the back right leg. She took two steps back and fell over dead.
had the same issues last year, did use them. Got new stiffer arrows , using a four fletch config, and now they are like darts. Going to be using them this year.
Mechanicals matter even more out of a modern fast crossbow. Fixed broadheads can plane on you where as mechanicals fly true at those speeds. Happy hunting
First of all. If u do not have your bow tuned property fixed blades will not track the same as your mechanicals. Second it's all about how constantly he shoots. My fixed blade shoot just like my field points. Tune your bow!!
Been shooting rage since they came out shot a deer Threw the shoulders at 60 yrds and went thru both shoulders and came out the other side and the arrow kept going and those where the first rage that came out .and still shooting rage all the new ones tried mostly all of them work good for me even used the no collar one last year killed a deer and also went thru both shoulders also
I lost a big Ohio deer last year with shoulder hit Killzone broadhead 70lb 29 inch PSE Mach 1 400 grain black eagle rampage. It sliced him hard and he bedded in sight. Another buck fought him on ground and he got on feet laying back down 50 yards from that spot! He passed me at 81 yards and I shot right under him on follow up and watched him stand and bed In bean field for 1 hr till got dark and slipped out! Found lots of blood and beds! Called in dog late next day never found him in a 300 acre corn field full of switch grass! Going to Try the Muzzy Trocar HYbrid this year? Own 15 broadheads fixed and mechanical I like! Never lost a deer bowhunting and killed many with Killzone till I lost my best deer ever last year. Guess it’s hunting and shot placement key.
@@krisshepherd740 I have heard some people love them but with white tail I feel like the blood trails are crap. I also Wonder if people are not tuning to Their heads because they fly like crap If they are not Tuned
@bigmike9558 tuning is critical, but so far they fly great and performance is fantastic on elk. I'll be using QAD exodus this year for a change up. First critters will be Kentucky whitetail this Saturday.
Here what you are saying but I think hand torque and how a head acts with hand torque is kinda the point. I would argue the opposite I don't care how they shoot from a hooter because I am not one.
Excellent video!!! I have been hunting for years but this will be my first bow season. Deciding on which broadheads to use is making my head want to explode. BTW, the quality of your video is outstanding, both the videography and narration could not be better. Thank you from a new subscriber. Please do more head-to-head (pun intended) broadhead comparisons.
To be fair and in my opinion- you didn't have a very fair test because those Blazer style vanes with no helical are not going to shoot a fixed blade very well. Try it again with some max stealth vanes with a good helical. It will help a lot. Great video btw.
Great observation. Put on a helical fletching for broadheads. It will eliminate a lot of problems with an arrow that is not optimized. I would have liked to see where he was hitting with field points in comparison to the broadheads.
The Original MONTEC Fixed 3 Blade 125. gr. I find they are flying pretty straight . a professional shooter should be able to hit the bullseye every time
Small points of feedback. The slow motion clips add very little to no value to the video. Fun to do but this matched with not filming impact during a video about accuracy was a mistake in my opinion. As the end user clicking on your video I wanted to see arrow flight from the shooters prospective and impact. Take it for what it’s worth. Just my opinion.
This video should be removed from TH-cam. This is an accuracy test done by a man that says in the video that I'm new. This should be done by someone more qualified. I would throw all of my equipment in the trash with any of those groups. You really do need to shoot at least 3 shots with each broadhead. Not enough of a comparison with only 2 shots in which you could've easily pulled on one of them. Any broadhead can hit the same place twice if the shot is good. They may not hit the bullseye but every broadhead test I've ever done, I got very small groups. The real difference between fixed and mechanical is that some fixed blades tend to plane out and shoot right and down from the high speed bows. I can tell you from experience that the Annihilator and the Montecs perform very well for fixed blades. Don't wait until you've lost the buck of a lifetime to listen to this advice. Throw the mechanicals in the trash where they belong. Accuracy means nothing if the arrow doesn't penetrate when it gets there. I've only recovered one deer that I shot with mechanicals. I lost 6 due them and 2 of them were monsters. You couldn't pay me enough money to use a mechanical ever again. IMO they should be outlawed.
Man. Don't extend your fingers like that when shooting arrows with broadheads, you'll get a nasty cut one day.
Carlos say it louder bro next video he’ll lose his trigger finger
Not only that, he's closing his fingers as he fires, which will put the shot off slightly
Fixed blade can fly just as accurate as a field point, it’s called bare shaft tune and tuning your bow and having the right spine arrow shaft,
I shoot grim reapers. They work great, open every time and are lethal. Being “one and done” doesn’t bother me to much as it’s just a small piece of the total investment it takes to hunt
They were super accurate for me during this test. I may start shooting mechanicals from here on out.
I just want to see Raymond smile on video...we can barely get him to smile when we go in there.

100% agree
used them one time. 2/3 blades broke shooting one shot into a foam target... absolute garbage when I used them.
@@DiffleysLandscapingon the exodus? No way, I’ve shot three elk with them the last three years. You can’t even tell the broadhead was used

Man I’m not trying to be mean or rude but shoot a magnus stinger or black hornet and broadhead tune.
G5 Montec Original. Is dead on.
Love the slow motion shots! Awesome 👏
🙌

Need to tune that bow, heavy nock right! Geeesh
His draw length is way too long.
Brilliant shooting and the Slow Mo you do is just Awesome 👍👍
Thanks!
Try changing your grip. An open hand will cause you to squeeze the bow at release.

Try out the ramcat broadheads. The are fixed but they claim to have field point accuracy might be interesting to see if its true
I shot the Montec G3 and they do tend to have fliers that go left

What happened to your Mathews?
Seems you put the camera by the target in the opposite direction.
Thanks bro!
I shoot a fixed blade broadhead NAP HELLRAZOR 1 1/8 cut. All steel
I will see if I can try those.
G5 sends a bandage for the animal because it will live.
It's not that hard to get fixed blades to fly like fieldpoints. Knowledge and a little patience is all you need
could have done w/o sound effects
...thats the sound of the arrow.
Some of the best video of how not to shoot a thumb release…🤣
Is that Landslyde with dove tail an your bow?
It’s the Landslyde but not the dovetail model.

Accuracy is king. It's why mechanicals are so popular. Fix BH has their place but to me more limited to closer range hunts.
You're lucky you don't cut your fingers off
Please don’t use Montec they suck bad, I have helped people and when they say I used a montec my heart drops because we never recover.
We've never lost a bull shot with a Montec. Dead in seconds.

Grim reaper fixed blades next please.
