Beast broadhead real world experience

[Invisiblecreek]

I’m looking to hear from anyone who has used the beast broadhead on an animal, whether successful or not, I would like to hear how things went and how the broadhead held up. Im not looking for opinions or comments from keyboard warriors who haven’t used it or just don’t like bowmar, I’m interested in the data of real world use, unbiased.

The time to tinker is here and there’s a lot of new gear out there

Thanks for your input

We shot two deer last year with the Beast. Both were broadside shots through heart/lungs. In both cases the entrance holes were close to full cutting diameter but the cut through the vitals were not much bigger than the beast in the closed position, the exits were decent size about 1-1/2”. John Lusk saw similar performance when he tested them. Close to full cutting diameter on entrance on the foam /mdf then through the gel the cutting diameter was basically the head in the closed position. Not the performance I am looking for in a mechanical head.

Interesting… so you think after initial impact the “bone avoiding technology” worked on the internal organs and closed the head when it was inside the cavity? I was curious about this happening

I shot a doe with the 2” at about 20yd this year. 390ish gr arrow at 300fps. Entry through the shoulder meat, exit in the pocket. Broadhead is still buried in the log that was behind her. I should dig it out tho. Bloadtrail was what you’d expect for those holes

U can’t deny the size of those holes, thanks for sharing

Gator style heads always shot through things that way, the more resistance the more the blades are held open, less resistance less open, also why they penetrate so well!

I say gator style due to them being a different version of the old Rocky Mountain Gator, a ton of "new" broadheads are fashioned after old Rocky Mountain/ Bruce Barrie designs, dude was way ahead of his time!

I have quite a few of the old gators still, razor tip and trocar type tip as well as some blades!

I was recently on a hunt with a friend who used them. Certainly very accurate, but he is also a great shot and great at tuning. I also noticed that he made one shot as an animal moved, and that arrow went along the outside of the rib cage, all the way down with the blades opening in the vertical position. Made massive holes on both ends and he ended up shooting The animal again, certainly put a lot of blood on the ground. It wasn’t a particularly large critter, but the Broadhead certainly worked well. He’s shot a lot with them, and will be bringing them out here to hunt with me in January, and they seem as advertised so far. He has seen a lot of stuff go down with them, and I really do trust his Feedback on them. If they made them in 150 grain, I probably would’ve tried some, as far as expandable go they seem to be the real deal.

Just shot a buck on Saturday with the 2.3 100 gn. Bow is pushing 280 fps. The shot was a frontal shot, all the buck gave me, 30 yards away and the shaft buried into his neck chest area. Blood started light but quickly went heavy. Obviously no exit wounds. I don’t know how to post videos or I would post the video of the trail.

Entry top of back and exit back of rear leg … bigger holes than I have ever got and shot a few with mega meats …. They fly a lot more accurate at longer ranges also .

I think swing blades can be forced back to a closed position when they encounter ribs and then the wet lungs don't apply enough pressure to fully reopen them in some cases. I prefer a Rage style that locks open. Both will work but locking blades are the better design.

That is not how they operate. There is a back spring that pushes the blades back open. As soon as the back of the blades clear the bone, they shoot back open.

Just got back from a successful elk hunt and a Titanium Beast 100 2" did work. Large entrance hole through the shoulder (meat), both lungs, and an exit hole that was decent. Bull died in sight, went about 60 yards total. Was shooting a Victory HLR arrow at 443g, and 300 fps. The arrow did not pass through completely, it had about 6-10" hanging out the entry side when the bull ran off. Found that back 8" off arrow a little up from where the bull laid down, but did not recover the front with the broadhead, it fell out the exit side at some point. The butcher found about 3" of arrow shaft stuck in the shoulder as well. So broadhead did great, HLR did OK - and broke into a bunch of pieces.

I've used Iron Will broadheads the past two years and the 5 deer that I have harvested have all died within eye sight of my stand. Last year I used their Wide and OMG the blood that came from that broadhead was very impressive, especially on the big 9pt I harvested. That it in the pic on my profile pic. The hole is the entry wound from the 100gr Wide Broadhead.
