I'll send you an old 125gr Muzzy, a 125gr G5 Striker, plus my current BH, which is a 150gr AK Archery Samurai. 

Looks like Colockum is already donating a 125gr Slick Trick, or you could have one of these too.  They do fly good, but I don't like them.  Very Poor penetration in my experience w/deer & elk, plus broken blades.  Only BH I've never had full penetration thru critters.  Just so you know, it's not the bow.  I shoot 72lbs, 31.5" draw, Hoyt Trykon XL w/IBO of 318fps.  My current arrow & BH setup is 525gr and still shooting 270 to 275 fps and almost 90ftlbs KE.

While I think it is cool to have your own test, because different tests will have the potential for different results, I think it is most impeative to read the one on archery talk, so you can at least look at their scoring system and come up with your own scoring measure.  I don't think the scoring systems need to be the same, but I do think they need to be consistent.  While archery talk tested both fixed blade as well as Mechanicals, I think it would be very interesting to compare their results on fixed blade heads with your results.

I posted the Archery Talk thread on the slick trick conversation on page 4.  It is over 50 pages now and they have tested a done of different broadheads. 

Here is the link again in case you want to read up on it.

I would put my money on the shuttle T's.  Neat idea to get all the broadheads together and test them out.

Awesome idea, and finally BH45 will shut up about those dang wasp broad heads  :chuckle:. I would like to see how "toughest" is going to be scored, how about a penetration test too?

To do this correctly all broadheads need to be shot on identical arrows from the same bow.

I want to see the new SOLID broadhead tested... somewhere! If you're looking for toughest head, I'd think it might compete well. Of course the hunor and Silverflames should make an appearance as well :)
