I'll keep this in mind when I figure out how to cook barrel and get it tender.

Very nice video, good info in there.

crimson-talon · 11-03-2009, 01:42 PM

great video

systemnt · 11-03-2009, 01:44 PM

Think the natural disclaimer is .. none of those broadheads were designed to go through metal.. and metal has obvious and apparent different characteristics that would allow pass through.
the mechanicals have an obvious disadvantage as the metal characteristics destroy the opening and pivot mechanisms upon impact.
The plunger one is the obvious proof of this

I would have rather seen this amount of effort (and money) go into testing this into ballistics gel, which would more accurately depict how these broadheads were designed to be used.

TXFireFighter · 11-03-2009, 02:59 PM

Yep your right but atleast it scratches the... I wonder if ... Itch. Cool vid non the less.

I think the obvious intent of the video is to show durability of the heads, nothing more. As expected, the fixed blades won that contest hands down. I think it's reasonable to assume you could have siomilar results if you hit a major bone in an animal.

Ricky T · 11-03-2009, 07:47 PM

I always like to see broadheads going into stuff. Thanks.

Duckie · 11-03-2009, 07:55 PM

I considered this useful ... Similar if the broadhead hit bone. And as mentioned above it shows the durability of the heads.

Still none the less. Seeing the destructive action is cool

expensive broadhead test huh? My strykers did pretty good to!

Yup. good to know if that big one comes out wearing a 50 gallon drum, the strikers will get decent penetration.

Neat video. My Slick Tricks did pretty well. Watch out old, mature rusty barrel!

Ron · 11-04-2009, 07:38 AM

Very interesting. Not sure that it simulates anything in hunting, but fun to watch.

Agree, always been a fan of fixed blade broadheads (specifically Muzzy); of course we're not shooting at live metal barrels.

Appreciate the video, my favorite game is elk and their rib cages seem to have similar characteristics, tough boogers.

tomcat3030 · 11-04-2009, 09:32 AM

Neat video!

41Chevy · 11-04-2009, 09:42 AM

Probably would apply to my bear hunt this year. I hit my bear square in the left shoulder and punched through the left side bone and into the right. No damage to the Buzzcut.

Actually done this with a couple of cheap broadheads I found in th camp trailer we inherited from previous leasees...the broadheads held up fine, but my arrow shattered after the second shot thru the barrrel.

tpost · 11-04-2009, 11:12 AM

I thought it was a good video that shows the durability of the broadheads. I am not a fan of mechanicals. Had bad luck a couple of times.

tamuwr21 · 11-04-2009, 02:10 PM

the fixed blades definatly outshined the mechanical.. I could see how a fixed blade would be useful on bone

jayme_b · 11-04-2009, 02:35 PM

i know what broadheads to get know when i go hunting for the rusty barrel
