After the steel and the concrete (not a fair target for any broad head) It seems their hardening is off, not because the head was damaged by the concrete but by the type of damage. Unless the steel sheet was hardened the edge should have less damaged although it would need to be sharpened. My issue is that it is not a cut on contact head but a punch pointed head. Cut on contact have proven to be the most effective on deer sized critters. Good video and a beautiful trophy room.

John.i have to say. Your the best broadhead tester that i have ever came across. That being said.i have a request! Nobody has ever said anything about those arrows your shooting. I've never seen one break. Could you do a video on the bishop series arrows you're shooting?? I would love to see a test if you will on them and where to get them, the fletching, inserrts,ect... Thank you for all you do. Jason from arkansas.

Would you do any testing on the deep six thread pattern? Hear a lot of they are not as strong you have the most reviews on any broad heads wonder what ya thought are on such

Love your testing but man sounds like your sucking on an O2 mask!

Hey John, thanks for the reviews! Do you plan on testing the G5 T2? It’s their newest, looks pretty basic as far as 2 blade mechanicals, but G5 is a solid brand, may be cool to check out! Gods blessings John!

The original tight spots are like this but with a single grip point.

Curious as to what minimal poundage it would take for full deployment?

This is such a great video and something any real bowhunter can relate to. Thanks!

Wow! That is incredible how long it lasted with an arrow through the heart! Thanks for sharing!

2024 Bear Alaskan XT for $529

Ordered 3 125 with 3 practice heads. Thanks for the persuasion Lusk Archery

Love tooth of the arrow, for my trad setup I've been thinking of checking out ozcuts 2 blade, and was very surprised you haven't made a video on those yet! I research every head I consider through your testing! Lol

July 11th 2024 and the coupon code still works. Thanks!

To break the burr off just run the backside on the grit you created the burr with. To much over thinking of breaking a burr

Bet this would kill an elk

John, asking your professional engineering opinion. I shoot 55#, 30” draw, 4mm arrows. Are those specs “strong enough” for mechanical heads? If so, which do you recommend? Sevr, shwacker, GR, ??

What Broadhead are u hunting with in your crossbow 2024

G5 blades have always been one and done.... i remember the original T3 that people loved but it just wasn't sturdy enough. G5 has the best marketing in the bizz

I wasn’t a huge fan of the cinder block test initially, as I just didn’t see it as a relevant test for hunting, but I’ve begun to appreciate it for what it is. It’s just the ultimate durability test, and it’s really cool when a broad head does well on all other metrics, and still passes the cinder block test.

Now that’s the way finish up a broad head review.

Thanks for the review. How does it fly at distance (80+ yards) when compared to a field point?

Cool thing is if you don’t know how to sharpen or don’t want to they sell a 3 pack of blades for only 15 bucks!

Amazing heads.

Great video. This has definitely become my #1 for this year. I'm curious, however, what you make of such deep penetration through the gel but relatively poor penetration through the cardboard compared to other broadheads you've tested in 2023 and 2024? Thanks for sharing these reviews.

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

I think the ring was meant to brake off after cutting a circle on the hide and skin. Not allowing wound to close. Afterward, it would act like a regular fixed head.

Better than the 1.75 model?

Hey John, any plans to test the Beast 2.3 broadhead? I know you did the 2” and would love to see the 2.3” with the new testing!

This and Archery Supplies videos are "relaxing" archery related vid content.

Excellent mechanical

I think your a little harsh on the fact that the single use retention arms are in fact single use on the steel plate round

I watch every single video you make. I have to say, i thinki like this video the best. You explained it very well. Allot of folks just don't understand the concept. You explain it so well. Thanks allot i really enjoyed this very much. Keep up the good work sir.

I have been waiting to see this test. Can't wait to see the HXP test. For mechanicals I'd have to say these and the sevr's are the top two most durable heads on the market.

Great review again John!! They definitely held up and did very well for a mechanical. Impressive!

Just too many in the market now. You have to be special at this point to move past exodus, grim reapers, deadmeats, iron will etc.. like bows we have reached a platea. But glad people keep trying to innovate.

I see they lock closed but do they actually lock open and stay in that position or do they swing back and forth when open?

Waiting on the t2

Would really like to see a review on the G5 T2

Great review as always. I love REK Broadheads! killed turkeys with the XP and FX4 this spring. Got the new HXP's to try out this fall as well! Made in the USA 🇺🇲

I love the idea of these. Might have to pick them up wnd give em a try. Ive killed several deer with swhackers and never had a problem. This is made similar, but 3 blades and a fixed head. I love the rear deploying.

If you were to be hunting whitetail in Illinois out of a deer stand which broad-head would you choose? I’ve shot Swacker mostly but I’m not happy with the penetration. I’ve never shot a single bevel 1 piece and I’m wondering if I’m missing out.

👍

Love REK Broadheads. Well made Michigan made heads.

I will have 3 of these and 3 of the HXP from Rek Broadheads in my quiver this fall!

Great review John. As a Michigan archer I love trying home grown products. I’ve been shooting these in the back yard through various x bows & the flight is always great. They open fully every single time. Still not a fan of their retaining clip but you get used to it. I’m seeing the same accuracy from their 4 blade fixed head. Just wish it was larger diameter. Maybe they’ll build some 150 heads for us 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for the test! Always look forward to seeing your reviews of each and every Broadhead.

Thank you for all the great testing. I am more of a fix blade Magnus stinger buzz cut.

I'm surprised that it did not fold or explode when shot into the cinder block.

Thanks again John nice review!!!

awesome
