This is a test of the 125 gr Trizot broadhead, by Kayuga.
Here is summary of my 2024 Testing Procedure & Scoring w/the scores of this head posted in parenthesis as well.
1. Flight Forgiveness (20%, 22 pts)
I'm using a Killer Instinct SWAT X1 crossbow, mounted to a BOG tripod, shooting a 670 gr Bishop Archery GOAT bolt (300 fps) at 30 yds. Field points consistently hit in the 10 ring & bullseye. I use the exact same bolt to shoot the broadhead. The only difference in the two shots is the broadhead's flight forgiveness vs that of the field point. A bullseye gets a score of 11/10, or a perfect score of 20 + 1 Bonus Point. The 10 ring gets a 10/10, or 20 points; a 9 ring gets a 9/10 or 18 points...& so forth, with each wider ring being 1/2" farther from the bullseye. Mechs are also given 1 Bonus Point for extra forgiveness.
2. Cut Size (20%, 10.72 pts)
The more tissue being cut, the more lethal the head, all else equal. The entrance cut, total cut, & width of the cut (a crucial variable for bloodletting) are all scored:
The entrance cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5" then that fraction is weighted to 7% of the score. (1.41" = 3.95 pts)
The max cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5" as well, then that fraction is is weighted to 7% of the score. (1.41” = 3.95 pts)
The max cutting diameter is compared to a standard of 2.0", then that fraction is weighted to 6% of the score. (.94" = 2.82 pts)
3. Blades (20%, 19.14 pts)
Initial sharpness (9%, 136 grams = 10/10 = 9 pts + .64 Bonus = 9.64 pts & Edge Retention (9%, +39 grams = 9.22/10 = 8.3 pts) are measured using the Edge On Up Sharpness Tester. The pressure needed for a blade to cut thru a copolymer wire is measured in grams.
Edge Retention is the loss of sharpness after the head is shot in Penetration Test 1, thru 1/2" MDF & 2/3" rubber foam mat & Clear Ballistics FBI gel. For every 50 "grams" of sharpness lost, 1 point is deducted from 10.
What are some sharpness scores for common edges?
A butter knife takes 2000 grams of pressure to break the co polymer wire.
A new high end cutlery edge: ~ 375 grams of pressure.
A utility razor blade: 200 grams.
Based on the many broadheads I have tested, here is my scoring scale:
Out of the Box Sharpness:
0-200 gr: 10
201-300 gr 9
301-400 gr: 8
401-500 gr: 7
501-600 gr: 6
601-700 gr: 5
Ease to resharpen or replace blades is judged & given 2% of the score. (6/10= 1.2 pts)
4. Penetration (20%, 20.54 pts)
There are 2 penetration tests:
Pen Test 1: 1/2" MDF, 2/3" rubber foam mat, Clear Ballistics FBI gel. Depth of penetration is compared to a standard of 9" & weighted to 10% of the score. (10" = 10 = 1.11 bonus = 11.11 pts
Pen Test 2: Layered cardboard. # of layers penetrated is compared to a standard of 70 layers & weighted to 10% of the score.
( 66 layers= 9.43 pts)
5. Durability (20%, 18.95 pts)
Each head is shot thru 1/2" MDF 3 times. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 12% of the score. (10/10 = 12 pts)
If a head survives that, it is then shot thru 22 ga steel plate twice. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 5% of the score. (8.5/10 = 4.88 pts)
If a head survives that, it is then shot into concrete once. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 3% of the score. (9/10 = 2.7 pts).
Steel plate & concrete are certainly not "realistic" mediums, but they do reveal the outer limits of a head's durability.
BONUS:
+.40 pts Single Bevel Rotation: 40 degrees @ 13.25"
TOTAL SCORE: 91.75 pts = 10 Golden Arrows
Price: $24/head using LUSK10 discount code of 10% off

I have been waiting for 20 years for someone to make an improved version of the old Rocket Ultimate Steel 100. I killed more critters than the plague with that head and it was only 7/8 cutting diameter. Animals would walk off and fall over. This is the closest broadhead I have seen to that old head!! Love it!!

I am going to carry a few of these in my quiver, uncertain hats. When I get an angle of a quartering shot or something that demands deep penetration, this will be on the end of my arrow. It’s a really great compliment to a larger, mechanical or a larger fix blade head. And I have a discount code for it too so you can save some money if you buy them.

And i agree with tipping your arrow with one of these heads. The penetration was very impressive. Man we are getting very close to archery season here in Arkansas. I love this time of year.i watch your videos over and over and it just adds fuel to the fire of hunting season. Thanks for all you do john. You have the best channel on KZfaq by far. No others compare. In my opinion. Hope your feeling better and get to enjoy some hunting this upcoming fall.

Some states may not allow a15/16 ths head. I believe Canada allows 14/16ths of an inch. This has 3 blades though and the wound channel looks awsome, also the smaller diameter broadhead deer don't seem to know what hit them. The deer would take a couple of steps and fall over!!!

@LuskArcheryAdventures 3 ай бұрын

@ryanmarino4230 3 ай бұрын

Great broadhead. I’m sure the large diameter of those half-outs is costing you some penetration (especially if you happen to shoot through bone). They stick out quite a bit beyond the head. Maybe you could do a quick comparison with insert that matches the head. Great videos, keep up the good work.

Yeah, but it’s consistent in all my testing, so it doesn’t matter

@ryanmarino4230 3 ай бұрын

@@LuskArcheryAdventures I understand that. I watch most of your tests and noticed it right away. I just meant a comparison between insert diameters. You could use any head, but probably one of the better penetrating heads would be best for comparison.
