Ozcut hurricane broadheads
Equipment
Anyone with personal experience using these? They look pretty solid and have an interesting design.
Not a lot of fans, apparently.
Looks like they went all-in on creating maximum single-bevel-induced rotation, but may have added opposing bevels to create those channels on the ferrule…
So looks like a solidly built 3-blade at a mid-range price point which probably doesn’t do anything appreciably more/better/different (or probably “less”) than other 3 blades. But not a great choice for single-string shooters, as a #50 recurve only provides about 36 1/2 FPE and more tapered designs seem to penetrate better.
Yup, probably not a first choice for trad bows but I might try them this year with my compound. First hand report is they can get past an elk rib bone to the other side and they tune very nice.
Small head...and CNC so it will be perfectly straight.....I'm sure it will tune easy, all of the small heads do.
That head will be reusable...but I would not want to resharpen those blades. A 2 blade is easy peasy...and fast...that might take a little more time to get the burr off of the SB edge.
Worth a second look.
Decent blood for a small head but definitely a short tracking job on this one.
I didn’t like how dull they were
Yeah, they zipped through this deer like butter. Must be my 60lb bow and 27.5 inch draw shooting 250 fps.
With a little touch up I’ll be shooting this same bh again.
Not a fan of small cut bh's, I've been down that road, they just don't kill like a bh with twice the cutting diameter, I understand if you shoot low poundage you would need a small coc.
Carcus, they have about the same profile as the quad exodus which I think you have endorsed in the past. I like the quad’s as well but they are prone to the same issues that most replaceable blade bh’s have. More testing required but so far they seem solid.
You are wright stoneman, they are close, the exodus has a slightly bigger cut, at least its a 3 blade, small cut 2 blades are awful IMO. I would chose the qad over this head in a heart beat, or any other fixed head, its just the best there is in every category. Not saying this head is bad, it looks indestructible

Super annoying that the website doesn't even mention the width of the heads. "Total Cut" is such a BS marketing gimmick. 2" of total cut. Why not put 6 blades of the same length and then you can advertise 4 inches of total cut! (Even though you make the exact same size hole)
I'm actually not sure why the fad of wanting to rotate through the animal. If I could have it my way my broadhead wouldn't rotate at all so that the sliced flesh hole lines up for better bloodletting. Why I migrated away from smaller 2 blades with bleeders. Double lunged deer in the snow and the hole rotates, front leg moves and no blood is dropping onto the ground. No reason to shoot deer have a pass through on low double lung hit and have to follow tracks in the snow to find the deer. Without snow a guy would have the chance to lose the animal on a perfect hit and that's just unacceptable. Blood on the ground moved up my priority list after a number of weak blood trails with small fixed heads.
If your not using a large ish mech on whitetails your using the wrong tool, IMO
I agree with Adam and Carcus!
