QAD Exodus 90º vs. Swept // Torture TEST - Today we're torture testing the QAD Exodus broadheads. They make a 90º and a Swept version that is considered 'barbed' in some states and are not lawful to hunt with.

QADs are tough! Thanks for watching! -DS

Hi Dan, is there any reason you arnt using these heads for elk or whitetail? they look very promising but i dont know if i should use them. looking for your input, you're the man. thank you kindly.

@grappler84 Ай бұрын

First broadheads I bought. No reason to switch up. Great choice!

@vinci8924 Ай бұрын

Just because this head is cheaper doesn’t make it inferior to the high dollar heads. I use the full and that head is a killer

@NMBowhntr Ай бұрын

That’s a new backyard! Looks nice, congrats.

@WildTines Ай бұрын

Love the 90, they are super durable,

@stick__shooter Ай бұрын

You're supposed to remove the little rubber o-ring before putting it on the arrow. It's just to keep the metal collar in place in the package so the blades don't fall out.

@ghaugsness Ай бұрын

QAD Exodus broadheads are great. They are an awesome choice for those that have shorter draw lengths and lower poundage. My daughter uses them on her setup, right at 50lbs and 26" draw. Complete pass throughs on both of the white tail bucks she's harvested the last 2 years.

@jeffellinger3257 Ай бұрын

I’ve taken 4 whitetails with the qad exodus.. I don’t see myself switching anytime soon. Fly like darts, I’ve only used the full.

@michaelbushey2787 Ай бұрын

Yeah, they fly great, but my experience with them is that they don't make good blood trails imo. But l, when they die within 30 to 40 yards, you dont need a blood trail, or much of one!! 😂😂

@kenraterink Ай бұрын

@michaelbushey2787 same for my experience also. Awesome head, just wished they had better blood trails for the poorer shots/ hits

@mikefeaster8827 Ай бұрын

My favorite fixed blade broadheads of all time.

Been using them since they came out. Its a hard to beat head for sure

@tannervanasten Ай бұрын

love these heads, only switched to iron will sb's for swamp/marsh hunting whitetails where a frontal is sometimes the only thing you can hope for.

@sthompson447 Ай бұрын

I'm sure John Lusk is enjoying some popcorn watching this video!!! I absolutely love these broadheads. I also love that the Innovative Outdoorsmen sells a Stay Sharp guide/ kit to make sharpening the blades easy. Last thing, regarding flight accuracy; I found that with a 4-fletch AAE Max Stealth configuration, my arrows consistently hit the same location of the white dot on my Morrell High Roller at 40 yards. The group tended to not be as consistent with a 3-fletch Blazer configuration at the same distance.

I carried the Grim Reaper Micro Hades 3 blade 125gr as well as the QAD Exodus 90 degree in my quiver last fall. I ended up shooting my bull at 27 yards with the QAD and it left incredible hemorrhage as well as a sweet bullet hole. Great video and testing!

@longshotdiedtired1582 Ай бұрын

Bullet hole hmmm 🤣

@tigerhankins7501 Ай бұрын

I’m more impressed with the half outs not bending on the angle shots

@joeditz48 Ай бұрын

If it's titanium, it just won't bend... they're crazy tough. Aluminum is a different story

I need to see the Exodus vs. the G5 striker v2s!

@jonathandickerson4831 Ай бұрын

Love these broad heads. Been using the 90deg 100g. Shot a black bear and whitetail buck both under 30 yards. Full pass through. Bear jumped from the arrow hitting a log behind him. Buck had two ribs cut clean through and still buried 10” into the ground. Love the chisel tip, easy to sharpen if needed, and fly straight and fairly quiet.

@leroyjones769 Ай бұрын

At the new place I see. Nice

@tsi-rocket4144 Ай бұрын

These were the first broadheads I bought after a lot of research. With the current fixed market I see absolutely no reason to switch. The exodus penetrate excellent, are extremely robust, fly well, and are affordable.

@markb8360 Ай бұрын

Happy with the full version. They are easy to sharpen (straight), tough, and shoot well. I also shoot Magnus - I am loyal because of Magnus’ warranty and equally good performance on game. Both exceptional

@johnmaxwell3179 26 күн бұрын

I use these and they are great

@wayneswendsen8310 Ай бұрын

Great test, but I got distracted by your arrows ability to stand up to the abuse. What arrow were you using? Did you have a titanium collar on the end? I didn't get a good look.

@jasondlion Ай бұрын

Best stuff imo! Also, the Ferrell is warrantied if bent or broken! Not a lot of people know that, so save them, replace the blades, and shoot straight

@taylorpina608 Ай бұрын

That Fred Bear under shirt is dope! who makes that?

I am telling you if you use the Firenock inserts for your arrows you will not get the mushrooming effect.

@ClaytonCowboy509 23 күн бұрын

I have both the 90 and the swept exodus and have noticed no real difference between the 2...... great broadheads

Hey Dan, how long were you slinging arrows before you tried your luck on an animal? Thanks buddy

@longshotdiedtired1582 Ай бұрын

Anyone remember the original QAD that were outlawed in many states because they were considered barbed ?

@v.hillegass4351 Ай бұрын

Good video. I like that you test stuff for the everday guy as well as "high end" equipment. Second part is for MFJJ- My dude just shot into osb and two pieces of cement board with your titanium inserts and beat them through with a hammer and they held up! I think he needs hooked up with at least a free dozen! Hahahahaha.

Even if your not on a budget its as good as anything out there. Why not spend the leftover money you saved on something else hunting related

Question, I know the arrows are trashed. Did the titanium inserts hold up?

They aren't as forgiving as mechanicals, but just keep try tiny little tuning adjustments. They can fly like darts

The drop is 100% the broadheads. Rocks past 60...

@mikevillarreal9973 Ай бұрын

Be sure to read the regs the swept can be considered barbed.

@dansmith8933 Ай бұрын

Here in Pennsylvania the “barbed” broadheads are actually illegal but the fulls are legal.

@dirtjunkie2749 Ай бұрын

I researched it before I bought exodus swept heads. Didn't see anything against them and asked a warden. Do you have a link to where you found your information?

@dirtjunkie2749 Ай бұрын

Only archery rules are peak draw weight no less than 35lbs and broadhead must have outside width of 7/8" or larger and cant exceed 3.25" in length.

@dansmith8933 Ай бұрын

I remember seeing something about a barbed broadhead and I asked a warden and he said that barbed heads are in fact illegal but the meaning of barbed it sounds like is up for interpretation This was also a few years ago

@dirtjunkie2749 Ай бұрын

@dansmith8933 yeah, it was a couple years ago for me as well. Been shooting the swept the past 2 and a half seasons and have harvested 3 bucks and 2 doe with them. Just looked it up again to see if anything has changed and asked my dad whom is a retired game warden if he ever remembers it being illegal. He says no, but is not sure if anything has changed in the last couple years since he retired, but said it would be listed under the rules. I'm 99.99% sure they are legal in Pennsylvania. Hope this helps if you were interested in hunting with the swept heads
