Iron Will Broadheads

[Bump79]

And just my .02 on IW broadheads, I’ve shot the same 200 grain single bevel through 5 whitetails into the dirt on the other side and used the same broadhead for all my target shooting for the last 3 years and only had to do light touch ups on a stone to keep it sharp. Nothing more fool proof for sharpening than single bevels in my opinion. I think at this rate my 3 pack is on pace to last me at least 12 years or more short of losing one in the snow or something.

Well, I'd say sharpening a solid 3 blade is definitely more foolproof. Lay it flat and a stone and pull it to you. Doesn't get easier than that!

Not knocking the IW. Just sayin

I love my iron wills but man that steel is hard it holds an edge forever but if you let them go too far they take forever to sharpen back up. Not a dis towards them just a trade off of the material

Ive used Iron Wills for 5 or so years, have yet to loose any. I like the single bevel because they're easy to sharpen on a knife sharpener. With 3 degs of vane helical I noted a C shape entry cut in a few elk. The C shape cut created a flap and created a decent blood trail. With a head focused more on penetration this is what you will find notice less of a blood trail vs other options.

On one elk I misjudged how much he was quartering away. I placed a bad shot in the ass, 500 grains at 260fps to my surprise I had a compete pass through on the pelvis bone. I was not happy about this so I didn't get any pictures of the arrow and bone.

I will touch them up before season, I do not have issues with rust even with living in a rain forest. The key is to touch them up before season. Use a quiver that doesn't have foam that touches your broad heads. I have no issues and have never put any oil on them. They will develop a slight rust when I pull them out for the next season. There is a lot of corrosion resistance with tool steel the amount of surface rust is minimal. I pulled one out and snapped a picture of both sides. This rode in my quiver all month long through wet brush and rain.

I think one of the greatest things about these heads is the durability. My practice only head has taken some serious abuse. When broad head tuning or taking long bomb shots this head goes for a ride. I've many times drilled rocks, bounced it off my driveway and forestry roads with sparks flying. Its hit T posts and metal plates. Also hundreds of shots onto dirt banks. Pictures of that head attached.

Best Fix blade head on the market.

I’ll give you that the method is easier, but will vehemently disagree about the “sharpening”. The inherent 60 degree combined edge angle of solid 3 blades means they will always lag behind something with a smaller angle, everything else being equal.
