This is a test of the 150 gr Iron Will WIDE Single Bevel, 4 blade broadhead. • Here is summary of my 2023 Testing Procedure Scoring w/the scores of this head posted in parenthesis as well. • Wide SB 150 gr Total Score: 87.04 = 9 Golden Arrows • 1. Flight Forgiveness (20%, 15 pts) • This is not just a test of how heads fly out of my bow, as it was in the past. With a well tuned bow, properly built arrows good form, almost every head flies well. That's why in the past most heads got a flight score of 9 or 10. But that doesn't help those who may not have perfectly tuned bows/arrows/good form. So now I am gauging Flight Forgiveness. This is based on how the head flies for me, how well it spins, how sensitive the flight is to imperfections, the exposed surface area of the blades. The max score of a Mech is 20 the max score of a Fixed is 16. • 2. Cut Size (20%, 16.03 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. (2.125 = 5.95 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. (2.125 = 5.95 pts) • The max cutting diameter is compared to a standard of 2.0 , then that fraction is weighted to 6% of the score. (1.375 = 4.125 pts) • 3. Blades (20%, 19.2 pts) • Initial sharpness (9%, 175 grams = 10/10 = 9 pts) Edge Retention (9%, +0 grams = 10/10 = 9 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 and 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 pts) • 4. Penetration (20%, 16.81 pts) • There are 3 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 9% of the score. (8 = 8 pts) • Pen Test 2: Layered cardboard. # of layers penetrated is compared to a standard of 70 layers weighted to 9% of the score. • ( 53 layers=6.81 pts) • Angled Penetration Test: How effectively does the head penetrate 1/4 MDF covered by carpet at a 45 degree angle. This accounts for 2% of the score. (10/10 = 2 pts) • 5. Durability (20%, 19 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. (8/10 = 4 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: • +.5 thick blades (.062 ) • +.5 single bevel rotation: 38 degrees at 10 • • TOTAL SCORE: 87.04 pts = 9 Golden Arrows • Price: $41.65/head • Special Notes: • Please check out my sponsor, Stay Sharp Guide. https://staysharpguide.com or @Innovative Outdoorsman They make excellent broadhead sharpeners.
