Thank you. I just want to provide some objective, consistent data points to help people make informed choices based on their hunting needs. I think that’s so much more effective than just asking a buddy or a few people at the boat shop reading the back of a package or even reading articles that have been paid for in magazines.

John, another informative video. Would you consider making a list of the heads you have tested and place each head on the list, giving the viewers an idea of where each head places respectively. Thanks again for the unbiased, realistic and entertaining content.

Thank you. I do that at the end of each year. I put an excel spreadsheet in the video description of the last vid of the year. You can see it for all of 2022 and 2023 in the one I posted in December 2023. I’ll do that again this year.

I’m really looking forward to seeing the Magnus 150gn single bevel, however I’m glad to see SlickTrick getting into the 2 blade scene.. I’ve been a fan back when Gary was making them in a garage.

I've been considering sb heads for a while. I've hammered 3 boars over 200lbs in the last month in the dark using montec for 2 of em and 1 annihilator. Maybe I'll buy a pack of these to try. I just worry about resharpening. Great test as usual.

Yeah these look cool I seen them at Cabelas. I think the Ferrule on the 100-125 is T-6 aluminum and the heavier are steel
@LuskArcheryAdventures4 ай бұрын
That’s correct. The 100 grain without the collar is aluminum. And you can add a 25 grain collar to it. Or you can get the all steel model that is 125 grains by itself. Then you can add a collar to make it 150.
@danielkarcher78464 ай бұрын
@@LuskArcheryAdventures @scottm2244 is partially correct, the SB 100 and 125 have a T6 7075 ferrule and the SB 150 and 175 have a 17-4 stainless ferrule. all 4 SKUs (100, 125, 150 and 175) come with tungsten collars so you can adjust the total weight by 25gn, so the 100 can be increased to 125, the 125 can be increased to 150, etc. The blade geometry is the same on all 4 SKUs, but the 100 and 150gn heads have a vented blade where the 125 and 175 heads have a non vented blade. great review!

Just a warning, on slick trick's website it says both the 125 base and the 100 base are 7075 aluminum, gotta go to 150 for the 17-4 stainless option!
@LuskArcheryAdventures3 ай бұрын
Well, you're missing one part. There are two models: 100 gr/125 gr--same head but the aluminum ferrule can add a 25 gr steel ring to get to 125 grs. OR there is the 125 gr/150 gr model. The ferrule is steel and the head weighs 125 grs. If you add the collar, you boost it up to 150 grs.

@frankbrowning3284 ай бұрын
A lot to like with every test except rotation. IMO single bevel heads need at least 0.060'' thinkness and have a steep angle bevel to get good rotation. Without good rotation you might as well use a 3 or 4 blade head to achieve more cutting
@LuskArcheryAdventures4 ай бұрын
It will definitely rotate much more in an animal. Some people prefer less rotation, as it allows for deeper penetration. But you make valid points, Frank.
@frankbrowning3284 ай бұрын
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Yeah gel is more sticky that flesh except of course in the areas of tendons, tallow etc but those are just part of anatomy that can't be tested without actual hunting. Even at 360 fps with a heavy crossbow arrow and at least 125gr head every animal I've shot (out to 60 yards) has been a complete pass through (arrow stuck in the ground) regardless of the head. From fast spinning Helix, expandables like NAP and Rage, Exodus, Slick Trick and the list goes on. This incudes dual shoulder shots. At 420+ fps those arrows stick very deeply in the ground after full penetration.

The collars shouldn’t be included in the heads at all. Just put an insert in your arrow shaft. The heads 100 grains. That’s all. A collar is just a non fixed insert.
