Repix broadhead5/20/2023 ![]() I'm not sure if the Helix is offered with steel ferrules under 125 grains, but, they do make them all steel in 175 grains and up. 2-piece broadheads and especially 2-piece broadheads where the blades are steel and the ferrule is aluminum, are inherently weaker than solid, 1-piece designs. Any round part of the bone will create a "mini" quartering shot angle that will usually always create a deflection bending blades and spending arrow energy.Īlso, it is very important to consider that any broadhead is only as strong as its weakest point which is usually at the ferrule section where the blades join. Also, your broadhead will react differently depending upon the angle of the surface it hits upon making contact. The joint ends of the bone sections are more dense than those areas along the middle of the shaft of the bone. Unfortunately, shooting into real bone will not offer a consistent medium to reflect sound, repeatable results. The common denominator with all of the best penetration results is always a heavy arrow, with an foc of 20% or higher, and a heavy-duty, fixed-blade broadhead. I just want to offer a few observations for you to consider based on my own broadhead testing experiences, and after seeing hundreds upon hundreds of bow shots into African game with all different arrow/broadhead combinations. ![]() Click to always interesting to conduct "field tests" on the actual material that you will be shooting like you have done with these real bone impact shots.
