Re: New TOTA 3 blade broadhead
My only issue is that they put most of the weight in the ferrule and I have had their blades bend/break on harder hits. I’ve had that happen too. A blade sheared right off when the arrow went through the deer and into the ground. Surprised me; I thought, being machined out of a solid piece of steel...

Re: Heated Vests
I got an Oro heated vest on Amazon last winter. It was a game changer for me! Especially as I get older, it’s impossible to stay warm in a tree stand after a few hours when I’m not moving, no matter how much clothing I wear. The vest has three heat settings. I rarely use the High setting, mostly the...

Re: Any new hunting products?
New for me this year is I’m retiring my 21 year-old, 40-lb climber for a new Ambush Evolution Climbing stand that is half the weight: https://xopoutdoors.com/products/ambush-evolution Also paired it with a Molle backpack frame and straps to carry it. Twenty pounds lighter is a huge deal when you’re ...

Re: Looking for Broadhead Target
Check out the article on Crossbow nation. Manufacturer Corner section, Excalibur crossbows, Cheep BH Target. Three bags of rubber mulch in a cardboard box. This sounds like a good idea! For broadheads, I use the blocks of styrofoam that you can get from Tractor Supply for free. They get them in as ...

Re: Mechanical broadhead test
Lusk Archery has tested a few Thorn broadheads. Here’s one of them: https://youtu.be/-KIb7mFblu8 It’s penetration was rather poor, compared to most of the other broadheads tested. He shoots them into ballistic gel, and measures the inches of penetration. Then he also shoots it through compressed cor...

Re: Is a shoulder/scapula shot a concern for a modern crossbow hunter?
I've seen a dozen or more hit in the shoulder and the near shoulder doesn't appear to be much of a problem. In my experience it is the opposite shoulder that is more of a concern. On both archery bucks I shot last year, I did not get a pass through because the far shoulder stopped the arrow. In bot...
