Glad to hear that Tobin. Much appreciated brother.

Thank you. I loved this head.

That's cool. Please let me know how they perform.

Very good. It's a great head. Now Iron Will "may" be coming out with a 150 gr Wide Solid very soon...it's an impressive head as well.

Yeah, I completely agree. Thanks brother.

fantastic

Oh I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you for sharing--I love hearing people's real experiences, whether good or bad.

Well, I expected it to hurt the penetration more than it did. It is cutting 34% more tissue, but only penetrated 9% less. That's pretty impressive to me

Right? Thanks Tim.

Thanks Alex. I did a vid of my whole bow set up, called, "My New Rig"...and I always share my arrow set up in each of my tests. I use so many different broadheads, cause I like to test them in the field. I just posted a new vid of my scoring and testing process, and I included a list of my favorite top 5 fixed and top 5 mechs. Did you see that?

Lusk Archery Adventures I did see that! Thanks for posting! I will have to take a look at the setup video!

Glad to hear that. Thank you.

I've learned that anything can happen when big bones and crazy angles are hit. That is the drawback of a true two blade head like this, as opposed to a short, stout chisel tip.

That's a good question. I'd go with a Kudu Contour, or Iron Will.

Lusk Archery Adventures would I recommend the kudu contour over a cutthroat single bevel?

Yeah, I have seen them. Very nice! Lots of great heads coming out of Australia.

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Great to hear that Heather. Thanks for watching and commenting...as always :)

Well, they have to slide into a little notch that's cut into the ferrule.

Yeah, they are classics. If someone donates me a pack, I'd gladly do it. My funds for new heads are tapped out right now.

Yeah, but StaySharp makes a great sharpener you can use with these.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures which stay sharp are you using that is handeling the contour on these blades?

Lusk Archery Adventures thank you for the heads up! Just checked it out!

Brent Buchanan I just found it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ6lo6ykq7aUeXk.html

Thank you. Honestly, I like the Kudu Plus...and also the A2 and Kayuga Gen 2 Pilot Cut.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures thank you very much oh the reply! Take care

That's a good question. If your goal is smashing a shoulder, I would personally stay away from a true cut on contact 2 blade head, just cause they have a tendency to fold on a hard contact or angled shot on a joint. An Exodus is a great choice for that. The Ann is really tough; my only concern is the total cut size. I've not used them on animals yet, and largely for that reason. Unless you hit a really good spot, you're just making a pretty small hole.

Would the exodus penetrate heavy bone over a good single bevel?

That's funny about them hearing the arrow before you release. My opinion on noise is this: Bow noise is HUGE. Axis are very wary animals and very fast. Your movement and the sound of your shot could definitely alert them and cause them to duck, as they prepare to leap away. I've had calm whitetails drop more than a foot at 25 yards due to bow noise. The heavier your arrow is, the quieter the sound of the shot will be...and the same is true for your bow. But arrow noise is a whole different issue. It's moving so fast that it's near impossible for an animal to locate its sound and move away from it. They may be scared off by an arrow hitting at their feet, if you miss, but it is very unlikely that they will run away from an arrow zipping by them. For all they know, it's a bug or a bird. And if your aim is true, it will zip thru them instead of zipping by them. Vanes are also a source of arrow noise, but I never worry about that either. All that being said, a low profile mech like the Sevr will be extremely quiet in flight. And low profile solid heads will be quieter than vented ones.

Thank you Maryam, I really appreciate it.

Yeah, that is the drawback of a curved blade like this. StaySharp makes a great tool that can make it easier.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures with single bevels, do you prefer a finer grit razor sharpness or a more coarse edge to act like microserrations?

Haha. Good one.

Thanks Chad. I am not sure of the bevel angle of the Kudus...been a while since I tested them. Between those and the Cleaver, I'd probably go with the Kudu Contour Plus for whitetail as it has a wider cut and a bleeder. But the Cleaver is coming out in a shorter profile, wider version soon.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Thank you... I'll practice with each since I already have both heads. I'll keep an eye out for the newer style cleaver.

Hey Chris. Great question. Bottom line, both will get the job done, that's for sure. Here are the main differences: The Wide will give you an extra 10% of cut size, and it will probably penetrate an inch or two deeper into most animals. Additionally, it is less likely that the blade will roll over or bend. It is clearly a more lethal head...but is that worth an extra $13/head to you? Only you can answer that.

Lusk Archery Adventures hey john, is the kudu as sharp as the iron will?

Yeah, everything has gone up...cause there are better materials used in many cases and cause people are willing to pay those prices.

This is a great option for you. Another good one is the Iron Will Single Bevel, with bleeders and also the Kayuga Gen 2 Pilot Cut. I prefer the single bevels that have bleeders.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Thanks so much for the response! That was very validating as I’ve eyed both of the other options you called out. Thanks again for all of the content!

September 2022 is almost here, have you decided on which broadhead to shoot yet? 🤔

I'd like to do that. If someone sends me a pack, I'll gladly test them out.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures how would someone go about sending them?

I need to do that. I'd planned to do that after June, so it would be a 6 month update for all the tests I've done like this in 2020.

For that year, I was not shooting into concrete. I often change my regimen each year. In 2022 I've been shooting into cinder blocks again.

That's unfortunate. Broadhead flight can be frustrating. In my testing, I do not broadhead tune at all. I just screw on the head and shoot it at 70 yards. Almost every fixed blade head flies well for me. But, my bow is very well tuned--my bare shafts and vaned shafts hit the same at 20 yds. And my vanes are helical, which helps in flight. And my arrows have a 20% FOC, which also helps in flight. And my form is decent. All those are factors. If you bare shaft tune your bow and use helical vanes, you should be fine.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures it is rather frustrating as 90% of the broadheads I have tried hit with my field points out past my hunting range. I was thinking I might try a 4 vane set up to help stabilize the Kudu heads... I am at a loss... LOL, probably my form!

They're both really good. But the Exodus has a slightly greater cutting diameter in the 125 gr model. I prefer a wider hole, even over more tissue cut, cause there is a better chance for more bloodletting. And it will do better on a hard impact shot. The Kudu is more apt to have tip rollover with it's narrow profile. But both are very good choices.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures valid points thanks you.

I’m from Georgia I shot a 5x5 bull last year in Colorado with the kudu 150 grain at 46 yards the bull flinched and ran 15 yards turned and bugled with blood pumping out both sides he fell right there. Arrow was lodged in the mountain behind him I have since taken numerous hogs and deer with zero problems. I love this head and am headed back to Colorado agin next month to shoot through another bull.

I've not. I have taken a few turkeys with them though. I've tested a few other GRs and hopefully will be testing more in the weeks ahead.

Good question. They're all great heads, honestly. But hard to beat the Exodus and the Black Hornet is a close second to that.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures thanks for your advice!!!

@@LuskArcheryAdventures hello how about Kudu contour plus vs quad exodus for elk?

I think 6 is a good start. But it all depends on what you're hunting and where you're hunting and how you're hunting...cause that affects how many shots you may take and how difficult it is to find your arrow and how much damage there may be to the broadhead.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures thanks again. I live in Oregon.

Haha. That's a good one...and true. Thanks for watching and commenting.
