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.

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.

It's coming in several weeks.

You may want check out Crimson talon Cleavers and Crocs as well. But these are really good heads.

Thanks for watching!

Yep

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.

@@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!

Yep. Thanks

Yep

:)

Those are only 150gr though

I always list the price in the description. I am testing the Magnus in my next batch. I just started testing them now.

Or the new Magnus

Crimson Talon is incredible. I run the croc and I’ll use that for as long as they make em. The steel is solid and stays super sharp. My favorite head

​@@bowdude33 I totally agree. The Croc is my choice of broad head. It's the best bang for your buck and with a lifetime warranty to boot.

@@novascotiapsearcher4497 the whole design is my picture perfect broadhead. Single bevel, super short profile, wide cut, no tanto tip, tool steel with incredible edge retention and impact resistance, 35 degree bevel, very sharp and for an unbelievable price. I really hope they make them for generations I’m going to stock up on them for sure I hope when I have kids they can use them too

@@novascotiapsearcher4497 can’t wait for John to test the new 100 grain croc 1.25 inch cut that’s what I’ll be using this year on mule deer in Colorado

Nice

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.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures thanks for the correction john!

It's a super heavy arrow and very close.

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.

@@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.

I’d sure like to, but not sure I can make it this year.

Ok. Maybe someone will donate a pack

The bow is well tuned; sometimes the block is slightly angled and I can't tell. Or it hits a bigger chunk of rock and veers a bit. I don't have enough heads to ruin another one.

Yep

Yep. And like the new Magnus, Crimson Talon Cleaver, and more. Apparently that original Maasai wasn’t copyrighted.

Yep

Yeah, but it does allow you easier flexibility. One of the heads is 125 grs without the collar, and is all steel. That’s the one I tested. The collar makes it also 150 gr

That Cleaver is impressive. And the Croc as well.

They may add a left model in the future. Crimson talon just came out with a left bevel single bevel Croc

The 100 & 125 combination are aluminum. The aluminum ferrule can add a collar to make it 125. But the 125 and 150 are a different model. They are all steel. Without the collar it is 125 and with the collar it is 150. Does that make sense?

This one was shot out of the crossbow. It flew fine. But I shoot it at 300 ft./s, due to a heavy arrow.

:)

What broadheads are those? I don't understand.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures It would be the Rexpid broadheads, if you have time next week me and my boss can get on call with you and we can go even further in detail.

Lots of heads are coming out with similar single bevels now. Crimson Talon, Magnus, Slick Trick, just to name a few.

Thanks for watching

Do you mean Kudu? Yes. If you ever wonder if I’ve tested a head just search on KZfaq: Lusk plus the name of that head :)

I don’t see why not.

Yep

It is nice. Honestly, it’s a lot of work-but it’s work I enjoy doing.

@@LuskArcheryAdventures Realistically NOT really FREE.. You are doing the work to deserve such things.. Great testing and reviews you are doing, I have been following along for years you put me on QAD Exodus years ago and I harvested moose and haven't looked back

Great repply John!​@@LuskArcheryAdventures

At this point

Nice

@@LuskArcheryAdventures wicked nice 👍🏻
