    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.

    Broadhead tuning help with Iron Will 100g solids.

    Here is a general list I've posted before of potential issues to check if your broadhead is not hitting with field points. For it to be hitting that high consistently, it sounds like your arrow isn't coming straight out of the bow. I'd paper tune and then check a bare shaft vs a fletched shaft...

    Ironwill vs Caribou Humerus

    Congrats on the caribou and thanks for the feedback! Nice shooting. The very pointed tip can get damaged on heavy bone. Usually it doesn't, but sometimes it does on a knuckle or leg bone. I think it happens if the bones are moving and pry on the very pointed tip as it starts to penetrate. I...

    in reach vs in reach mini

    I lost my phone on a long stalk through a swamp in Alaska last week and only had the mini for communication and GPS after that. It's not very functional as a GPS for finding your way, but you can mark spots and get coordinates and find your way back with a compass if needed. I really like...

    Glassing chair

    I used the Helinox in Alaska last week, very nice. Weighted about 1.5 lbs. I think.

    Iron Will Wide 100 Review, By Les Welch

    Hunt-n-ski, sorry for the delayed response, just got back from Alaska where we shot some big Bou! I have done a little testing with the Max Stealth in 3 fletch with about 2 to 2.5 degrees helical. They flew well for me with our broadheads. Nick at AAE recommended Max Stealth in 4 fletch as...

    Iron will impact collars

    Bobrunner, our broadheads will work fine with that outsert. To use our Impact Collars on Rampage arrows, Billy Goat is correct. You would need to use both our Impact Collar and a HIT insert.

    Iron Will Wide 100 Review, By Les Welch

    I'm running AAE Max Hunters at 2.5 degrees offset, 3 fletch this season. I found the Max Hunters, Blazers, and Fusion II all steer very well in a 3 fletch at 2.5 to 3 degrees offset or helical with the Max Hunters and Blazers having the least drag and the Fusion II being a little quieter. Max...

    Iron Will Wide 100 Review, By Les Welch

    Our original V series can have a hiss or "shish" sound, depending on your speed and setup. Sound testing showed this increased noise from vents wasn't distinguishable at the target until the arrow was within a couple yards. Our wide series is quieter. Fluid dynamic modeling was used to...

    Iron Will Broadhead Corrosion Protection

    Interesting. I've done a little research on forcing a patina through acid etching. I'm sure it can be done effectively, but chemical baths can damage blades if done improperly. As far as warranty, we wouldn't cover damage done by the acid bath or a process gone wrong, but we would cover a...

    Beyond the bro' science, arrow setups

    I don't name other companies broadheads that I test. I have tested several of the top mechanical heads though and found similar problems with very high force to penetrate as well as very poor edge retention and durability problems on bones.
