Facts! I think it’s a dangerous area to get to when you say “this broadhead cuts better so I can take a little bit harder shot angles”

I dont think that's what he meant. Ranch fairy would take a crazy shot angle with the right broadhead. But he meant don't take crazy shot angles with this particular broadhead, but with single bevels and heavy arrows he would all day.

Straight up or quartering towards You are Poor Shot Angles with a Gun let alone a Bow. Straight Down can get You into Trouble, too.

@@christopherwatson283 that's not true and you people are missing the whole point of this quote.

@@ep3389 Front side has a head on It. Need to watch out for that. I've heard all that buzz about Heavy Arrows and Spear Heads. Hitting the Bulls Eye is what counts.

I too am fond of Magnus. I like the stinger 2 blade and the killer bee 2 blade.

There’s a lot of hype on the heavy arrows right now. Pick something durable, middle of the road or slightly heavy- like 125-150 grain, don’t shoot at shoulder blades, and you’ll be fine for deer.

A good setup is a setup that works for you. 500-600 grains some where in there you will find what you bow wants. If you are going fixed single bevel is probably the best however a 3 blade will work too. Keep your shots close is the number one thing. I highly recommend staying 50 yards and under with archery. This distance whatever imperfections you have after all the tuning and forms you’ll have less to go wrong.

Enjoy

Its so loaded with arguement you just have to find what you like...

@@flip66five right on. That's what I figured. But at least listening to videos like this and reading our comments kinda point me in a few directions. I'm not completely dumb about all this, just have never shopped for nor shot any.

Scam

There's so many ppl on KZfaq that talk about that stuff check out, chris bee, John dudley, the elk shape guys, fmjj. Literally so many that are genius about that stuff

It’s a scam I called it

A 3 blade can wind plane and deflect badly in an animal. A 4 blade deflects less, penetrates better, and cuts more tissue than a 3.

@@cjr4497 Not sure how you'd argue that a 3-blade would plane in the wind, or deflect...would also respectfully disagree that a 4 blade would penetrate better or deflect less...it's literally more surface area for wind to catch and tissue to stop. There are plenty of videos showing the amount of force needed to push a 3blade vs 4blade thru a stationary medium like hide or ballistics.

It should read (THERE)!!!🤣

There is iron will come razor sharp and stay sharp make a jig to put the broadhead in and sharpen it is just that easy

Cutthroats will come sharpened for an extra fee

Yep iron will, sharpest factory broadheads there is, and lifetime warranty

Go with Iron Will Single bevels. They come shaving sharp and you can use the "stay sharp" jig on some diamond plates an then strop them on leather to get them even sharper. You can absolutely hunt with iron will single bevels out of the box because they really do come sharp.

Are you able to get them as sharp as these guys do with their two blade heads? I'm struggling...

@@brux3822 yes. They are built at the perfect angles to sharpen on a flat stone. I use a 2 sided diamond hone. Medium grit first and fine to finish. Shaving sharp every time

I agree. Been using Montecs for many years now and the only issues I've had have been 100% my fault. Have also dropped multiple over 40 yards and a couple over 50. Able to sharpen easily, super durable and get the job done. Just wished they made them heavier than 125 so I could use smaller inserts.

I totally agree with how awesome the G5 broad heads are.... Especially the fixed style. I used their new M3 heads last year and they performed at a high level. I have never used a single bevel head and I don't feel the need to if the M3's keep working this well.

I’m also on the Montec train. I also don’t worry about the ultra heavy stuff for whitetail. A sharp broadhead and good shots= dead deer

blood trails are no fun. watching them fall is much better :)

Why not go 4 blades with the iron will Single bevels w/ bleeders? They produce great blood trails.

If you really double lunged your deer with a quality single bevel broadhead and you often had poor and maybe long blood trails, I am rather sure your broadheads have not been as sharp as they should be. Have you just used them as they came in the box without sharpening them? If you have, I am sure they have been far from as sharp as they should be. Using dull broadheads is asking for poor blood trails. They need to be scary sharp. I have never experienced poor blood trails on any of the deer I have shot with the single bevel broadhead I use. Far from it. Most of the time they are gushing blood. Specially on the exit side. And at the same time have I almost never experienced a blood trail longer than 50 yards with it and never as long as 100 yard. At least 90% of them have dropped within 30-35 yards. Many of them just move a few yards and stand there a few seconds till they drop.

@@The_Judge300 well hunting public has a bunch of kills w/ single bevels on video and rarely that kind of results… maybe you’ve experienced more of an exception than a rule.

@@mikefromoh2925 Maybe, but I have lots of experience with killing deer and other animals with a bow in the years I have hunted since I started with my first compound in 1986. And I have tested almost everything that have been made of broadheads since then. There are many broadheads that are better than single beveled ones when it comes to blood trails, as long as they are scary sharp, you hit the right area and you get a complete pass through. And that is the key words for a good blood trail. Shot placement, scary sharp and complete pass through. And a scary sharp single bevel broadhead is what gives you the best chance for a complete pass through. I am not totally sure how many big game animals I have killed with single bevel broadheads, but I would guess it is above 100, and I have never had much problems finding the animals. The single bevel alone is not the reason for this. Good shot placement with a rather silent bow and having it scary sharp, have made almost all blood trails short/very short. Many of these animals have also been shot from the ground while stalking/still hunting. An animal shot from a tree stand will have a low exit wound, making the blood trail even better.

Thats not what he was saying!

@@ep3389 You’re quite right. I made an absurd and nonsensical comment. Troy said the 3 blade was a step between replaceable broadhead systems and the single bevel broadheads which require some skill and attention to detail in order to sharpen. Three blades are quite simple to sharpen and maintain. Sirius Archery and TUFFHEAD do have Ranch Fairy branded products for sale; and producing any substantial inventory of a new product likely reduces production and inventory of other items already marketed. It could also be that TUFFHEAD intends to market only 150 grain Evolution Series Single Bevel Version 2.0 broadheads and have the archer make up the difference with weighted inserts. Who knows?

@@308blr2 nope I did, now I get what you meant

Dang. With my 350 grain arrow with a swhacker, 22% FOC, 318 fps, 78 ft lbs of kinect energy, all I hit is dirt, after my arrow passes through the deer.

🤣

Those are what I use and I haven't lost a deer to date. I've had several does that don't even know they've been shot

They're asking for financial info to pay for shipping. I didn't proceed with the prize.

I called this number it’s a scam

If your son goes to school, I am sure he hears much worse there than in this video.

Go to ranch fairy’s channel he has it broke down where anyone can understand

They did a video on tuning last year it may have even been when they were with ranch fairy. I remember warb turning the knock quarter turns and marking the fletchings with a marker

Bevel refers to the angled side of a cutting edge. A single bevel has one angle side and one flat side(think razorblade), a double bevel has two angled sides(typical knife edge). Bevels are really only important for 2blade BHs and resharpening. Figure out what you want from a BH first before deep diving, ie more penetration, more cutting or retainability...etc

This is a huge trend/ Fad backed by arrow companies and heavy broadhead companies. I shoot 400 grain arrows with Rage 2 blades and never had an issue and kill 3+ deer a season with my bow. Light arrows and expandables kill deer no issue.

🤣🤣🤣

That guy was full of it. 380 fps is not faster than any gun I know of. Excalibur is a great crossbow none the less.

For broadhead shooting, take a look at blob targets. For field tip shooting, a quality bag target is a good practical and affordable choice and can be bought locally.

No. Thats not what he said, or how it works.

It sounds like the string somehow went over or under the bolt which resulted in a dry fire. That will send all that energy back into the crossbow which messes things up. Always make sure to use the brand bolt that matches the crossbow. Very common mistake.

A quality one piece machined, non-vented broadhead doesn't break in the field. Replaceable blade heads sold in the big box stores do, but high carbon heads like the VPA do not.

@@PoeOutdoors I'm seeing alot of one piece broadheads now, seems everyone is reverting back to what I used 50 years ago, hmmm...lol

@@russellwatters5891 cause the stuff we used 50 years works really damn well lol
