This is a test of the newly improved 125 gr REK FX4 fixed blade head. • Here is summary of my 2024 Testing Procedure Scoring w/the scores of this head posted in parenthesis as well. • 1. Flight Forgiveness (20%, 18 pts) • I'm using a Killer Instinct SWAT X1 crossbow, mounted to a BOG tripod, shooting a 670 gr Bishop Archery GOAT bolt (300 fps) at 30 yds. Field points consistently hit in the 10 ring bullseye. I use the exact same bolt to shoot the broadhead. The only difference in the two shots is the broadhead's flight forgiveness vs that of the field point. A bullseye gets a score of 11/10, or a perfect score of 20 + 1 Bonus Point. The 10 ring gets a 10/10, or 20 points; a 9 ring gets a 9/10 or 18 points... so forth, with each wider ring being 1/2 farther from the bullseye. Mechs are also given 1 Bonus Point for extra forgiveness. • 2. Cut Size (20%, 13.88 pts) • The more tissue being cut, the more lethal the head, all else equal. The entrance cut, total cut, width of the cut (a crucial variable for bloodletting) are all scored: • The entrance cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5 then that fraction is weighted to 7% of the score. (1.85+.31 =2.16 = 6.05 pts) • The max cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5 as well, then that fraction is is weighted to 7% of the score. (2.16” = 6.05 pts) • The max cutting diameter is compared to a standard of 2.0 , then that fraction is weighted to 6% of the score. (1.85 = 5.55 pts) • 3. Blades (20%, 18.25 pts) • Initial sharpness (9%, 156 grams = 10/10 = 9 pts +.44 bonus = 9.44 pts Edge Retention (9%, +37 grams = 9.26/10 = 8.33 pts) are measured using the Edge On Up Sharpness Tester. The pressure needed for a blade to cut thru a copolymer wire is measured in grams. • Edge Retention is the loss of sharpness after the head is shot in Penetration Test 1, thru 1/2 MDF 2/3 rubber foam mat Clear Ballistics FBI gel. For every 50 grams of sharpness lost, 1 point is deducted from 10. • What are some sharpness scores for common edges? • A butter knife takes 2000 grams of pressure to break the co polymer wire. • A new high end cutlery edge: ~ 375 grams of pressure. • A utility razor blade: 200 grams. • Based on the many broadheads I have tested, here is my scoring scale: • Out of the Box Sharpness: • 0-200 gr: 10 • 201-300 gr 9 • 301-400 gr: 8 • 401-500 gr: 7 • 501-600 gr: 6 • 601-700 gr: 5 • Ease to resharpen or replace blades is judged given 2% of the score. (6/10=1.2 pt) • 4. Penetration (20%, 17.01 pts) • There are 2 penetration tests: • Pen Test 1: 1/2 MDF, 2/3 rubber foam mat, Clear Ballistics FBI gel. Depth of penetration is compared to a standard of 9 weighted to 10% of the score. (8.5 = 9.44 pts) • Pen Test 2: Layered cardboard. # of layers penetrated is compared to a standard of 70 layers weighted to 10% of the score. • ( 53 layers= 7.57 pts) • 5. Durability (20%, 19.63 pts) • Each head is shot thru 1/2 MDF 3 times. Its condition is judged 1-10 weighted to 12% of the score. (10/10 = 12 pts) • If a head survives that, it is then shot thru 22 ga steel plate twice. Its condition is judged 1-10 weighted to 5% of the score. (5/10 = 2.5 pts) • If a head survives that, it is then shot into concrete once. Its condition is judged 1-10 weighted to 3% of the score. (10/10 = 3 pts). • Steel plate concrete are certainly not realistic mediums, but they do reveal the outer limits of a head's durability. • BONUS: • • TOTAL SCORE: 86.64 pts = 9 Golden Arrows • Price: $18.33/head • Special Notes: • Please check out my sponsor, Stay Sharp Guide. https://staysharpguide.com or @Innovative Outdoorsman They make excellent broadhead sharpeners.
