It’s terrible for penetration it grabs the shaft and slows the arrows. The heads with a larger Ferrel will go deeper every time simply because the push the most gel away from the shaft not allowing it to grab. On meat aka deer that iron will will out penetrate most all Broadheads. Look at the perfect Broadhead for penetration a 3 to 1 single bevel they don’t penetrate worth a crap in gel but blow through animals.

@@a.b.k1983 yes it’s the same medium that does not mean it’s good for arrow penetration test. Shooting all the arrows into concrete that would be the same medium but it would make a terrible penetration test.

@@a.b.k1983 actually clear ballistic gel is made for a constant medium you can see into. The company it’s self has admitted multiple times it’s not a accurate representation of flesh. As you said a consistent medium. thats all it is constant to its self not constant to flesh. It’s mainly made for seeing firearm projectiles. It is not a super accurate representation of muscle tissue. 10% FBI spec gel is a closer representation to tissue but it is hard to work with being it has to be kept at set temperature and isn’t clear like clear ballistics gel is. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the fact that exodus spends the money and time trying to find what’s best and help us all. Unfortunately this just isn’t a very valid test due to multiple factors. The only true way to cut down on outlying factors would to be to use dead carcasses but then you still have so many factors shot angel/placement fat percentage muscle density. To top it of they would all have to be shot with the same setup same arrow same bow same distance to really eliminate any potential errors. That’s just not possible. People get way to caught up in a gel test but they haven’t take the time to research types of gels and what there are designed for. Broadhead integrity/sharpness is far more valuable then any gel penetration test can or could be.

@@daltonbbf756 I think you are spot-on in your criticisms of gel for this purpose. The QAD Exodus wins so many of these tests, outpenetrating two blade fixed heads all the time. I firmly believe that happens because of exactly the same reason you stated: the big tip separates the gel and the gel doesn’t grab onto the arrow shaft. Hide, muscle, bone, and body fluids don’t behave anything like gel. It’s really a very poor medium for testing broadhead penetration, ESPECIALLY to use it for comparison.

Which one do you think is more accurate and you like best qad exodus or the 1" tooth of the arrow in a long shot like say 60 yards? And which one of the two penetrates the best at long distance? Or any distance?

@@eugene7890 I can't comment on which would penetrate better. Probably a wash between the Exodus and the TOTA 1". The TOTA 1" definitely flies better. I'd say the TOTA XL flies about same as the Exodus. I only have solids, vented would fly even better.

@@stick__shooter Thank You for the quick answer. The tooth of the arrow 1" do you have the vented or soild???

@@eugene7890 I have the 1" and XL solids. I think if I were buying more XL I'd go with the vented. The 1" solids are fantastic and I don't see a reason to get the vented version. I prefer solid heads for the quieter flight.

If you're still active on here, did you hit bone with either, and if so, how'd they hold up

Same (but I use exodus for deer/pigs too)! was hoping to see it as well

Thought the same thing

They come in a 3 pack. So technically they are only $40 heads. They are nice heads.

When I started bowhunting, a 6 pack of Wasp broadheads was $18.00.

@@russelllangworthy8855 you can still buy inexpensive heads. Also I have to ask the question. How many deer could you kill with those 6 heads? How long did that last? IW broadheads have a lifetime warranty. If you bought them at age 30 you could theoretically use them the rest of your years of bowhunting... would they be that expensive then? Just look at it a different way.

@@HuntsT When I started bowhunting $18.00 for 6 broadheads wasn't inexpensive. I don't know how many deer I killed with 6 broadheads. Maybe 20? That's been a long time ago. I've never used Iron Will broadheads. I don't know anything about them.

I'm sure you know this, but the only test for a head is meat. Gel, wood, foam targets, thats all bullcrap that doesn't replicate an animal at all. These guys should know better

It’s awesome to see new hunters getting excited. I want to give you the most important couple pieces of advice I can give a new hunter. 1.) Do NOT overwhelm yourself. Just get into the woods or field and get there quietly. You’ll learn so much by just doing it. 2.) if you can, find someone experienced who is willing to help you along the way. I love all these channels but I’ve been hunting since I was 5 and I had several people mentoring me over the years. I couldn’t imagine trying to sort through all this information alone as a new hunter. This video for example is neat and I enjoyed watching it but I wouldn’t make a broadhead purchase based on the results. We learned that tooth of the arrow goes further into ballistic gel and that’s it. There is no blood for lubricant or bones to bend blades just one solid medium. Enough of that. Most importantly have fun and shoot what makes you happy. Shoot a doe first chance you get to get the jitters out. I still do that every year. I don’t want my first shot of the year to be a botched shot on the buck of a lifetime. I don’t want it on a doe either but if I had to choose… Good luck!

What’d you end up going with ??

Bingo! Tests like these are the worst for gauging arrow penetration.

All of those heads are vented

Mike Guy, you’re absolutely correct.

Most accurate statement here. It’s not a judgement on the making of the video from me either I just think it should be made clear this is a video just for fun and not a video to base a broadhead purchase on. Ballistic gel is the worst to test arrow penetration. Iron Will is the best because it’s not going to bend or break when it hits a bone. I shot G5 last year and killed a nice buck. It works. But the blade was bent and tip curled over after only hitting a rib. As for penetration, none of the broadheads passed through the gel but I bet all of them have at least one hunter that could say they’ve passed through a deer with them.

The tooth off the arrow vented penetrates deeper than the solid version

I concur. Just have to sharpen them up. But I always do that anyway. TOTA XL Solid 125gr all the way.

i've have taken 3 large elk with g5 striker-all complete pass throughs none went over 75 yds-all blades remained intact-switched to g5 deadmeats for deer-also great heads not as much penetration but leaves huge bloodtrails

Shouldn’t need to touch up new blades on any head. Never had a dull Slick Trick. Bought those DeePower heads John Lusk tested. They are very sharp out of the package. Can’t wait to test these on deer or pigs, whichever shows up first lol.

@@timbow50 I agree but you are goin to have to resharpen them after using them. A 4 blade is pretty impractical to sharpen unless the blades are replaceable, until the new stay sharp system dropped. Watch Lusks video on the tota broadheads it’s one of his favorite heads he’s tested

@@tyhansen8 those DeePower blades are replaceable. I bought a dozen on a promotional sale for $23 delivered. Mainly to use on wild hogs. And if I loose some I don’t care. I know they will kill deer easily. I usually get pas thru hits on deer but some tough old hogs will run off with the shaft sticking out the far side and the shafts get broken off somewhere and get lost. No big loss if I can’t find those heads. Plus sharpening replaceable blades is so simple anyway. Sharpened many Slick Trick blades

I just tested the tooth of the arrow nonvented. They flew great and where sharp. I accidentally sliced my thumb open with minimal pressure.

@@buckrockerm m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l5-nZ8Rm3prcfas.html&feature=emb_logo

Not my experience with IW. I’ve got 6 of their heads and they were all extremely sharp out of the box.

Tooth of the Arrow!

You can tune almost any head to fly properly given that it’s built proper. Field point belong on the 3d range

Ranch Fairy does a lot of videos similar to that.

@@InTheWoodsToday Ranch Fairy.

It's coming!

Check out Lusk Archery Adventures KZfaq channel. Hundreds of tests across multiple things like strength, penetration, accuracy, etc

It doesn't have to. He's not saying if you get 11" of pen on this gell that's what you'll get on a deer. He's showing on this setup you get 10% more penetration than this one. There are way to many variables to study actual penetration figures you can count on in the field.

@@wolfpack4128 bro not a chance.. you can’t judge broadheads out of shooting ballistics gel way to many things.. when you shoot broadheads you are shooting living things and I promise you they behave differently on moving and breathing things.. it’s made for tough shots not for just hitting behind the shoulders and in between the ribs 🤣 just all soft tissue shots

The iron will V isn’t a single bevel head

@@camthecameraman5096 👍🏻

😂😂😂

Good prediction!

All of those heads besides the tooth of the arrow were vented. We have some more destruction tests coming!
