Here's the Spreadsheet of all the Broadhead Scores since 2022. https://1drv.ms/x/c/1af79333adb54aae/... This is a summary of my 2026 Testing Procedure & Scoring w/the scores of this head posted in parenthesis as well. 1. Flight Forgiveness (20% 21.49 pts) Elite Eon Compound @ 45 yds, 15 pts: B or 11/10 or 16.5 pts Ravin LR XBow at 45 yds, 4 pts: 10/10 or 4 pts Flight Sound (rated using sound editing software), 1 pt: 9.90/10 or .99 pts Mechs = 1 pt bonus; Hybrids = .5 pt bonus 2. Cut Size (20%, 14.2) 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 scored: The entrance cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5" then that fraction is weighted to 7% of the score. (2" or 5.6 pts) The max cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5" as well, then that fraction is weighted to 7% of the score. (2”=5.6 pts) The max cutting diameter is compared to a standard of 2.0", then that fraction is weighted to 6% of the score. (1"= 3 pts) 3. Blades (20%, 17.65 pts) Initial sharpness 9%, 290 grams=9.10/10 or 8.19 pts & Edge Retention (9%, +41 grams=9.18/10=8.26 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 Pen 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 Ease to resharpen or replace blades is judged & given 2% of the score. (6/10= 1.2 pt) 4. Penetration (20%, 19.03 pts) There are 2 penetration tests: Pen Test 1: 1/2" MDF, 2/3" rubber foam mat, Clear Ballistics FBI gel. Depth of pen is compared to a standard of 9" & weighted to 10% of the score.(8" =8.89 pts) Pen Test 2: Layered cardboard. # of layers penetrated is compared to a standard of 70 layers & weighted to 10% of the score. 71 layers or 10.14 pts 5. Durability (20%, 19.85 pts) Each head is shot thru 1/2" MDF 3 x. 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. (10/10= 5 pts) It is then shot into concrete once. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 3% of the score. (9.5/10=2.85 pts) Steel plate & concrete are certainly not "realistic" mediums, but they do reveal the outer limits of a head's durability. Extra Bonus: +.10 Blade thickness .040" +1 Square cut out holes in steel TOTAL SCORE: 93.32 pts =10 Golden Arrows Price: $16/head, but LUSK10 = 10% OFF I also have some Broadhead Discount Codes I can share.
