Would an honest person really send back a broadhead they destroyed on purpose?

I myself heck no, but I would bet if you asked Magnus for a test head they would gladly send you one. :dunno:

Pretty good chance of that.  They seem like very generous folks and take advantage of free advertising better than most.  They also used to supply some very nice eye candy at the ATA show :o

Let's put it this way.  All my single sales reps and half the married ones were MIA most of the show.  When I needed to find them I always checked the Magnus booth first.  That was usually where I found them.  You combine true beauty, intelligence and wonderful personality and the men were stung for sure.  Pretty smart guys over there at Magnus!

So politically correct :chuckle:

I want to see a Rage vs. concrete block.

In seriousness though, the broadhead test thing has never really made sense to me.  Not when they are shooting steel drums, cinder blocks and 2x4s  :dunno:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I tried a mechanical broadhead this year. These flew like my field points, you can get practice heads also.  NAP Spitfire 3 blade 100gr.

I took a meat doe last Saturday, 19yds, 65lb HOYT Factor 30. Went through the shoulder and a rib, clipped a rib on the off side and into the off leg, didn't poke through the hide on the off side. Good blood right away, blood started about 6' from the shot. She did go about 150yds. Not sure I would take a heavy quartering shot w/these. The head held together, one blade was slightly bent.

That's what the plywood was supposed to represent.

Wow!  I would send those off to Jay immediately.  His heads should not do that.  I've seen quite a few big critters taken with his heads.  Always good results! 

We use the same heat treater for our blades as Grim Reaper does on theirs.  Our first run of DelMastro HPV blades came in way too hard.  We sent them back to be redone and they stretched the living heck out of them.  So we threw them out.  Wonder if the blades you got were run about the same time.  Could have been new employees or something goofy like that...and QC just missed it.  Quick customer response is often the best feedback to catch things that sneak by accidentally.

Similar results as YJ Guide Service by the guys testing at Sportco with those heads. Bent blades if memory serves.

We should shoot cement blocks for no other reason than I like to see arrows just smashed into pieces.
"Hulk smash!" :chuckle: Use some cheap arrows my friend.
