    What's your total weight upfront?

    I'm working on new product development and I'm curious what you guys are using for total weight upfront on your arrows including the insert, broadhead, and collar if used. Let me know what you are using or want to use for total weight. Thanks!

    Slider VS Fixed pins for Elk

    I like a four pin slider. Fixed pins at 20, 30, 40, and 50. Under 50, I often just eyeball judge, draw and shoot. Beyond 50, I range and dial it in.

    2021 Easton arrows no more injections and now axis 4mm

    I haven't used them myself but I've heard good things about them. I think with the aluminum core, you get better straightness and spine consistency in general making them a very accurate arrow. The trade-off for me is that aluminum can be bent and I put arrows through a lot of abuse testing...

    Who shoots Mathews out west ?

    I've hunted with the VXR 31.5 this year, making longer shots on elk and caribou. I prefer a heavier, longer bow since I can shoot them better at long range, even though they aren't as nice to carry for all those miles.

    2021 Easton arrows no more injections and now axis 4mm

    Easton uses a process they call pulltrusion which doesn't have a seam and gives a pretty consistent spine all the way around. These will be made from a higher modulus carbon, so have a slightly thinner wall and lower GPI. Iron Will Deep Six HIT inserts and Collars will fit these new 4mm shafts...

    Looking for better blood trails

    It's going to depend on shot placement of course, but we've been getting a lot of customers reporting great blood trails with our new Wide Series heads. The advantage over mechanicals in my mind is that I can take more shot angles without the chance of failure (shoulder bones, spine, frontal)...

    Day Six EVO vs Iron Will

    They take a little more care if hunting in the rain a lot, but there is a huge difference in break strength between .062" A2 Tool Steel and .050" thick Stainless Steel. Check out the recent, independent durability testing on bone by WaptiWear. The blades are all shown at the end of the videos.

    CVA Wolf & Powerbelt project

    Yes, looks like an Iron Will s100. Sounds like the shot didn't go as planned for someone if the broadhead was in the neck. Congrats on a great bull.

    Ultra light knives

    Thanks for the review Seth. I've handled most of these knives, but it's great to get a comparison from someone that has used them.

    Ultra light knives

    The Iron Will k1 Ultralight Hunting Knife weighs 1.0 ounce as a skeleton knife. We just added a handle option also at 1.7 ounces. Here is a photo and a video link. It's made of A2 steel at 60 HRC.

    Iron Will Knives

    I personally really like the top sharpened edge of the k1 for ripping hide. It's like having two knives in one for only 1 ounce. Several people have asked us to make a version without the sharpened top edge and we may add this for next year. I typically use the gutless method, but some guys...

    Overspined,how much is too much?

    In theory being overspined could make the arrow less forgiving to imperfections in your bow setup or form. Experts at Easton have told me this is more of a concern with world class target archers and not hunting setups in general. In practice, I have found that going one spine stiffer than the...

    Iron Will Knives

    Yes, you can buy the handle kit separately and assemble it to any k1 or k2 knife, same handle for both. Thanks for posting the link, Laned. (We had several prototype iterations on the k1, but have only sold one variation, so the handle will fit any k1 or k2 purchased.) We are considering...

    Iron Will Knives

    We've added to our knife offerings this year with a specialized skinning knife and G10 CNC machined handle options as requested by Roksliders. Both our k1 and k2 knives are made of A2 tool steel at 60 HRC hardness for great sharpness and edge retention along with excellent toughness for an...

    Groupings with BHs

    The best broadhead accuracy test I've seen lately is the one done by John Stallone with a Hooter Shooter at 70 yards. The field point group was 0.7 inches and Iron Will S Series had the second best group out of 30 broadheads at 1.1 inches, including mechanicals. I believe he used blazer vanes...

    Best low poundage broadhead

    Use a very sharp, 2-blade or 2-blade with bleeder, cut on contact fixed head. They have much better penetration than 3-blade. My nephew and several others have gotten pass throughs on deer with 40 lbs.

    Broadhead tuning help with Iron Will 100g solids.

    Yes, IdahoHntr is correct, the AAE Max Hunter is a great vane for fixed broadheads and I'm currently using them myself at 2.5 degrees offset. The Pro Max is the one I'm concerned is too small for fixed blade heads.
