Iron Will Broadheads

[Scottyboy]

I’ve shot them all, and generally like them. I have noticed (on whitetails anyways) the noise the vented ones make be an issue. If you want to try before you buy, I’m happy to send you one. It’s a head only used for shooting into foam, so not “huntable” but again if you want it, I am happy to send it your way.

I shoot the S100 and have shot three animals with them. An antelope that cut his leg in half before going thru his heart. He didn’t get very far. 2nd one was a cow elk that I didn’t get a good shot on and blood ran out after a few hundred yards and never found her. The last one was a bull at 70 that I got a pass thru on and he went about 40 yds and tipped over as I watched.

Originally had the vented and prefer the solids. They are expensive but I feel they are worth it. Will be in my quiver this year again.

I shoot the S100 single bevel. They have flown well for me and are a very tough head. I would probably also look at the Evolution fixed blade if I were buying new as I have heard they fly really good and are quite a bit less expensive. Overall the Iron Will has been a great head for me just costly.

I have shot them both out of a compound and out of my recurve for a few years and they flew and performed great on animals out of each. Pretty sure they saved me on a mule deer a few years ago in South Dakota. The buck was quartering away slightly but alert when I shot and he ducked and turned to Run as the arrow was on its way. It ended up being a very steep quartering away shot by the time it got there but luckily due to the cut on contact head and build quality it buried right in even on the steep angle, went through some bone and ended up killing the buck very quickly.

Really doesn't matter which model you choose. If you are unsure of which way your fletching goes than just use the double bevel. If you aren't great at tuning just stick to the standard size. If you hunt in wet climates and do not like to do broadhead maintenance then I would look at the Day6. It's Stainless and really very similar if this is the type of head you want.

they rust and chip pretty easily, but they fly well enough. The warranty process is more complicated than needs to be..

I have had no issues with mine chipping or rusting but I keep em oiled. I will never use a different broadhead the SB100 left bevels have done me well even the S100 double bevels. Been using them for 4 years now and have not lost an animal yet..

I shot three Whitetails with Ironwill heads. Side note that I am colorblind. Shot a doe with a 100 gr single bevel. Nonexistent blood trail and finished her with my recurve. Lost a 180 class buck with a wide. Shot him low. Good amount of blood. Killed another whitetail with a wide 100. Didn’t go far. Dulled a head really bad and they wouldn’t exchange it. I don’t want to resharpen these heads so I moved on to Evolution heads.

I’ve owned and used Iron Will S100’s and the 100 Wides. Great heads, well built, packaged etc..

Compared to QAD Exodus, Sevr, Slick Trick etc and they truly 2-3x “better”? In my opinion, no. The only thing 2-3x more is the cost of the Iron Will.

I will be testing and reviewing the wides this fall. 125 gr with 10 gr collar and 15 gr hit insert in Easton Axis 4mm. Looking forward to see how they do!

The corrosion is really a buzz kill with them. I’m trying daysix heads this year.

Overrated and overpriced. I drank the IW Kool-Aid to the tune of 400.00 ish. They will do nothing a Slick trick, QAD Exodus of a Magnus Black hornet will not do at 1/3 the price. And the lifetime warrantee is a joke.. And as mentioned the corrosion is awful. Had 3 in my gun safe w humidity control, they corroded. IW said ya that will happen.

IW's aren't for everyone. Pricey? Yes. Tough and hold an edge? Yes

I put one through a spine on a small deer last season.. Literally snapped the spinal column in 2. The vertebra was broken in 1/2. Zero chatter or chipping and still razor sharp. This was a SB150.

Sharpness is #1 and edge integrity is only takeaway you should get from Ranch Fairy. You don't need anything other than that. So for a broadhead you want a tough blade that holds an edge. You can get a magnus super sharp but the blades are not super tough. (i still have a magnus or two sitting on standby).

As for corroding, they're just as susceptible as a nice carbon steel blade. A little oil or blade wax will keep the blades from corroding

 

[nphunter]

I agree with the others, they rust quickly which is annoying and chip easily. I sold all of mine and am shooting Evolution heads currently. The solid heads aren't super forgiving but fly well, I've shot several fixed heads that will fly better that IW, and yes I tune my bows well. IMO the biggest thing they have going for them is how they are marketed, they really don't do anything 90% of other heads will do.
Several other broadhead companies make great heads and have a great warranty department, I've dealt with a couple and have had heads replaced no questions asked, but considering the price, it is unfortunate that IW is pushing back on warranty claims.

Im in the same boat. Was hoping for them to hold up better with the price they ask for. Live and learn!

Yes sir. And the warrantee is a joke. Have a S100 no matter what I do the bleeder was loose. Contacted IW and sent them a video. Was told not to worry about it.

The corrosion is a pain. If kept oiled it helps but oiling a broadhead every time I take it out of a quiver isn't something I wanted to do. I did shoot a buck at roughly 5 yards with an s100. Passed through and deer piled in 30 yards. Broadhead went into the dirt and chipped beyond repair. I really wanted to be on board with them. (Great marketing) but I'll never shoot them again.
