What broadhead would you use?

[Jared.King]

You got a lot of juice with your setup. I wouldn't worry about anything with any head, just whichever head you got the most confidence in

But for my it'd be
Rage
Original ramcat
Carni
Diamondback

Rage is my last choice. Why would it be your first? These are just what I have on hand at the moment

anytime, i have shot a lot of animals (mainly hogs) with ramcats as well as other bhs. I have never had a bad result from the broadhead yet. It further sealed the deal with me to see the amount of penetration it got on a big animal and entrance being on the point of the front shoulder.

Just have a ton of confidence in them, I like the big entrance holes just in case I don't get a pass through. Shot my zebra with them it blew through and never found the arrow, and my set up was a little lighter and a little slower than what you got

👍 Awesome! I understand your reasons. Thanks!

What would you shoot then?

If you have a chance at nilgai, look for a stout fixed blade. Slick Trick, Muzzy, or Magnus are all affordable. There are some high dollar ones as well.

Is the ramcat diamondback not a stout fixed blade? It has a 1.5 inch total cut with .032 in thick single bevel blades with a back cut. Seems plenty stout to me. But I'm still leaning toward the originals for the blade angle and the rotating blades

Here is some good info and I think you'd be surprised. Mechanicals no likely the bone! [emoji23] after some research, those iron will and the bishop heads are the cats meow when it comes to large game. And the iron will seems to be about indestructible. They come with a lofty price though

None of the ones you have would be my first, second, or third choice. The blade angle is terrible on the new ram cat, blades are very fragile( lost blades on several mule deer, one guy got cut pretty bad while gutting one of the deer on the broken piece. and last year a guy in camp broke one off at the feral in a javelina and failed to get a pass through) on the original ram cat, and rage would be my choice ( of the ones you have chosen) if it weren't for a chance at nilgi. My choices would be exodus ( for a great resonantly priced head) German kenitcs for a great head ( but spendy). Slick tricks, Magnus, VPA, just to name a few that I would choose before any of those. With that said, any of the ones you have may, ( will) hopefully work. The biggest thing is to put it in the right spot, and hope your broadhead stays together, and sharp as it passes through the animal.

Here’s a little mechanical test video for you to watch. Looks like the Rage trypan

Very interesting videos. I really was suprised by some of the more well known broadheads.

I'm very surprised at how it performed with the metal.

The blade angle is the exact same as the grizztrick haha! I'd throw those in the mix too but all of mine are damaged from deer.

What grain were the ramcats on the muleys?

I also have some old Magnus 2 blades that have been around the block a few times haha! I've also seen pictures of a nilgai bull killed with the diamondbacks. I'm pretty confident that they will work with a well placed shot

All fly with my field points.

Impressive for a mechanical. I'd like to see it put to test against dense bone. I like the ferrule design on this one over the other rages and the tip design. Looks to be build for better penetration. I think if it hold up against dense bone then a 1.5 inch version would be the best mechanical out there. I've heard crazy good reviews on this one, but at 266 fps on a 350 spike Easton axis arrow ant 27.5 DL, I don't trust the penetration aspect of it due to lower KE. I'll stick with fixed blades as a personal preference.

I know you said you won't buy more broadheads but I would. Nilgai are extremely tough and so are their bones. I shot a nilgai cow with my bow at 40 yards through the shoulder (where you have to hit them or get them quartered) with a 1" tooth of the arrow (pretty close to slick trick) and it only penetrated about 2/3 a shaft. With a 450 grain arrow goin 300 fps
