A friend of mine just put on you tube so I stole from him. Careful now Shawn! Looks kind of dangerous.

Thanks Trapper. That was a good demo. BTW, I shoot the Woodsmans and will continue to.

I wonder how well a round-nose bullet would penetrate? Don't forget that speed negates, but not the panacea, for penetration.

That proves nothing for me other then I don't know how he didn't get hurt .Now if he started with a real light bow and keep going up in weight until a broadhead went through the hide I might agree with it . Plus a lot safer .

Proves nothing to me either, that test was done 25 years ago,,,,, kind of dumb the way he did it, looks like an accident waiting to happen...... I tested my heads, by shooting into a cows shoulder bone, may be not too scientific, but it was coming out with the force, that I actually shoot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
all the heads he tested, have proven to kill a lot of game,,,,,, lets shoot into a refrigerator door, and see how your head performs, I have done that too, but had a lot of time on my hands, and bh's to destroy..... ha ha ha........ I had one ferrule penetrate, it was a Wasp Boss SST, the same test destroyed a bear razorhead, and that head has killed everything

I have a hooter shooter . Haven't done it for a while but what i will do is st it up to head as dead center as i can get it at about 38 yards with field points . Then i switch over to broad heads . What i look for is heads that will hit about the same at that distance . Usually a good head will stay inside a 3 inch circle . Now that's shooting the same arrow and head 3 times . You would be surprised on how many heads can't stay in a 5 inch circle . Now one thing is I am testing them on my bow which has been between 320 and 345 fps for years . Once you hit around 310+ fps things change with some heads . under 300 you can get a lot of heads to hit good depending on the tune . Not going to mention what heads because a different person setting up things his way could get different results .
