[QUOTE="casjoker, post: 5176319, member: 17057"] I did a little "testing" today. Weighed the 3 broadheads and 6 field points I ordered. Shot 6 shots at each distance 20-50 yards in 10-yard increments outdoors and 20-40 indoors(I have a fairly long barn). Three broadheads and 3 field points at each distance. Using a Strothers SX Rush bow 28" draw at 67lbs draw. ACC arrows 413 average arrow weight with head. I would classify myself as an average shot. As I mentioned in a previous post, the packaging is pretty cool. Broadhead Weight 122.4, 122.3, 122.7 Field Point Weight 124. 9(2), 124.8, 124.7. 124.6 My initial impression is these are well-made heads that should stand up to any normal use/abuse. The main blades are easy to resharpen, but the bleeder blades are a challenge. They come razor-sharp, sharpest heads I have used out of the box, and I have probably used 20 or more different brands over the years. They had a consistent flight and generally grouped at 1- 2" out to 30 yards. I was at around 4" at 40-50 yards. Which is about as well as the g5 montec 3 blades I used the last couple of seasons. They constantly hit 3" to the left of the field points; height was identical to field points. Again, almost the same as my g5's. I have a 1/2" sheet of plywood 3' behind a Block Field Logic target 7.5" thick for my indoor range. The middle is shot out a bit but will catch an arrow by the fletchings with field points. The Iron Will's went through it like nothing, and they would embedded in the plywood, just poking through the backside, no damage to the heads. I would say their claim they rotate through the target is true. In my other new Block target, the heads would not go all the way through, and when I pulled the arrow out, it definitely rotated as I pulled it out—much more than I have noticed with other heads. I do not have any hides or bone to test them on, but my guess is they will go through a shoulder blade with no issues and overall would be highly effective on deer. Are they worth $110, maybe? They are a rugged head and look/feel more robust than my g5, Muzzy's, Thunderheads, and Magnus Stinger. They might be overkill for deer but would be good for tougher/bigger animals like elk or moose. Then again, better to have too much head than not enough. As long as you don't score a direct hit on a rock, I would think you could use these for years.
