Just got a 3 pack of these and I'm impressed. Very sharp. We'll find out in 2 or 3 weeks if they are durable . I bought the Hyde model in 150g.

i wanted to start a reliability thread on these. I like the leading cut on contact blade too
 
Let’s discuss my experience with both an evolution Jekyll and Hyde. I shot a 230 ish pound big game animal last weekend. 1st shot was a hard quartering pass through with a fixed blade Jekyll at 19 yards. The animal fell downhill from me, was laying on its side, so I sent an insurance arrow from 28 yards as it was slightly moving. The shot angle would be the same as shooting perfectly straight down through the back. I hit the spine but the arrow penetrated 15” into the lungs. Pic is the result with the 125 grain stainless steel Hyde. Concerning ferrule bend but 15” of penetration after this impact. I’d think I’d still call it a success given what it hit.
435 grain total arrow weight. Victory Rip TKO arrows with iron will hit inserts and iron will collars. 285 fps.
