Chris is really knocking down doors and exploring the possibilities with these arrow slingers. If you're into arrow slinging or even just a little curious, you will want to take a gander at his research.
Shoutout to Chris Turek for this piece of work!

Agreed. He has also testified in front of Michigan's congress in advocation for air rifles to be used for more hunting platforms than just small game. Chris is definitely moving the needle.

I was inspired by his informative video and am doing some testing with heavyweight arrows and Airsaber Umarex. I am utterly impressed with my airsaber!!! It actually shoots like the YouTube videos
Thanks again

So glad people are finally recognizing this,
I've been preaching this for years now,...cut on impact broadheads 2 or 3 blades are far superior to any mechanical head.
also heavier heads are incredibly superior, as well as an overall heavier arrow.
FOC has been huge in traditional achery for a long time now, heavy broadheads are a huge plus.

Well done. Very well done. I took my first white tail with a bow at the age of 14. Shooting a 43# Red Wing Hunter and Bear broad heads. That was 56 years ago. Even then we understood that moving parts in a broadhead were trouble fixing to happen. This is excellent advice. The old Bear broadheads had two blades and a razor insert. The odds of finding that insert after your arrow passed through a deer were about 50%. Every now and then you found it with your finger while cleaning your deer. Good broad head though. A simple slotted three blade design is probably best as it will minimize planing which a two blade without slots can sometimes do in a breeze. Good advice. Very good advice.

Comparing Broadhead Styles
If you ever have a chance to see one of the great collections of vintage broadheads that travel around the country, do it. One might think that putting a point on an arrow shaft to make it more lethal to deer and other game animals might be a simple matter, but the amount of

That is exactly why I shoot either Magnus Snuffers or Wensel woodsman out of my PCPs where the arrow travels in the -/+ 500 fps,.......on my traditional bows that shoot in the 160-180 fps range I prefer the 2 blades,Well done.

I have Grizzlys, Ribtek, Hills, several different Magnus, Ace, Zwikery.....2 blade cut on impact are bomb proof,
I even reshape the tip into a Tanto style and that makes them even more reliable.

We used to make a chisel point on our Bear two blades, not very wide mind you perhaps an eight of an inch, but enough to cause it to either break the bone or slide off rather than embed in it.
