I shot them out to 60 and killed a boar @52 yds with them. I had no issue with flight , they are sharp, and the ferrule is tough as nails. Only reason i sold them is they sit back 1/4" or so over the shaft and my arrows are cut short . The blade was too close to my hand for my liking. I would shoot them again without hesitation

subscribed. I love the STs, but really have my eye on this head. GIF i guess.

This is a photo of it after passing through a bear and sticking into a bank behind it, all I did was clean it of and threw it back in the quiver. I've yet to get one that does not spin true. Best replaceable blade on the market in my opinion.

Awesome BH. I killed a 20" bear with one from 10' above. Completely severed his spine and went another 12". BH was fine with only one blade slightly bent. I shot one through a dryer in deer camp and BH only had a few small nicks in blades. That's 4 layers of steel. Other BHs broke. Killed quite a few deer with them and have then ready for my goat and moose hunt this September. I have shot them out to 60 with good results. They make a swept blade and full blade depending on local regs. They are the toughest BH that I have tested, sharp too.

 

[Where's Bruce?]

They are wonderful heads but don't aim at the same spot on your target when you practice. They kill one another.

 

[Jeff Martin]

Have you guys tested Swept vs Full Blade?

 

[Brandon Pattison]

Swept is considered barbed I believe. The blade angle was too steep for my beliefs so I went to 150 grain VPAs.

 

[Where's Bruce?]

Have you guys tested Swept vs Full Blade?

Both shoot the same but I hunt with the Swept.

The swept is slightly less impacted by a bad release. Your bow will need to be in tune. Penetration is always near the top in BH tests and they have 1 1/4" CD.

Full blade is only legal not swept blade in Colorado pretty sure.. Great broadhead. Killed couple whitetails with them.

Is that really the case? The regs say "cutting edge must be in same plane" that is it. I could argue that the swept blades "cutting edge" are in same plane. Just curious to be honest...

Personally can't say enough positive things about the 100 grain qad. Last year it did the trick on a very large free range Audad got heart both lungs and pass thru, the head maintains its integrity. Also took an elk in new mex with one, 65 yard shot, bull jumped the string big time caught it back and the arrow lodged in the femur and actually split the bone, elk was dead in 30 seconds, again the head held up and delivered with some deep penetration.

Shot an elk in NM last year with them, fletch ing deep at 40 yards behind shoulder. Recovered elk, Cleaned off the head shot two whitetails with the same head without replacing anything and it's still in my quiver. I will change the blades before I go afield but the furrele is still in good shape. I was a ST guy before switching and gave these a test go and I'm sold on em.

Ahhhh the famous femur shot. LOL
You are one lucky dude! Beautiful bull.

I just purchased some for this sea son- excited to try these on white tails out East!

 

[velvetfvr]

I've shot them to 80 and they're dead on. Real critical the bow is in tune. Yet to kill anything with them yet since I switched to them last year.

After much research this summer trying to decide which head to go with i ended up with the Exodus 100 grain swept blade. Was finally able to try them out on bull on in western montana. I hit him broadside up a pretty steep hill at 47 yards and had a complete pass through. He pretty much walked another 30 yards and I followed after him and cow called and he stopped to look and hit him again at 66 yards, again a complete pass thru. He went another 20 yards or so and toppled over. I am not shooting some 80lb monster of a bow just pulling 68lbs atm. Needless to say quite impressed when i found the arrows and to find they were completely intact and could shoot them again at another elk. I know that this is probably a one time event to have two complete pass thru's on full grown elk, and could have the same experience on many other different broadheads...but still pretty pleased with the outcome on my first elk.

I think that you can use the swept in Colorado?
