Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Broadhead tip comparison evaluation

I started with the heads that have a secondary tip rather than a tip that is part of the main blade. The types of tips are Cone, chisel, Trocar, etc.

Here is a Muzzy MX-3 head. I don't feel the need to test any of the other Muzzy brands because they all have the same Trocar tip regardless of broadhead weight or number of blades. Again, I recorded the force required until the blades started cutting because this is a tip comparison and as I said, I am comparing the force required for the entire tip to go through the material until the blades begin to open up a hole..

Muzzy Digital still at the peak force moment. just over 4 pounds for the start of the tip but because the Trocar is a long tip, it required 8.6 Lbs. pounds of force. to get to the blades



Muzzy Video of the event. The video clearly shows the point in which the blades start to cut as the scale quickly bounces back to zero from the peak.

Here is a Thunderhead which has a sort of cross between a cone and a chisel tip.

Thunderhead Digital still at the peak force moment. 8 Lbs. pounds of force.



Thunderhead video. Again, it's pretty clear when the tip has made it's way through the material and the blades take over.
