Mechanical Heads vs Steel Plate

I already had this 16 gauge steel plate set up for some fixed blade testing and thought I'd see how some of my favorite mechs held up to it. Check it out:

Those all held up better than I would have expected, especially the Killzone. I like destroying stuff too.

John,
IMO, a test that is something like 3-4 layers of leather over a stiff pillow...which would somewhat replicate impact on a heavy animal.

That steel is just costing you money in BH's- grin

Good idea! Yeah, it is getting pricey! I was also thinking of using drywall.

Yeah, Killzones are tough. But then again, the blades never really hit the steel plate, cause the ferrule tip is so long. I've killed quite a bit of animals with them, and am always impressed with their durability but not with their penetration. But with your draw length, you can shoot them through anything
