But BH behavior was consistent out to 50 yards, which is where I'm drawing the line on a shot distance. I'll practice with field points at further distances.

Bow: PSE Xpedite at 26.5" DL and 60LB DW.
Sight: EZV (#11/260FPS insert)
Arrow: Black Eagle Carnivore 400 spine @ 26" (yes, I know I'm technically underspined, but they fly well and 340/300 spines aren't going to work without shimming the cams, due to a severe nock right behavior); standard insert.

Didn't take many pics, as I was more focused on getting done as soon as possible due to being in the blazing sun in Canon City.

The below pic was Iron Will and a 200gr FP at 30 yards. Fairly typical relationship between the FP and Iron Will BH. One round I thought I robinhooded the shaft with the BH cus the FP penetrated further through the channel created by the blades.



Below is the IW and GS Samurai (both on paper) at 40 yards, with the FP just off to the top left. Again, it was super windy and gusting randomly, so I'm not done with fine-tuning.



Didn't take any pics at 50 but again, both heads seemed to track well (and frankly were shooting better than the FP's at times). Was getting consistent hits on paper. I didn't find that either head shot worse for me than I can manage with field points.

Either way, I was very impressed with both broadheads. Once I get some calmer conditions, I suspect they will both tune well, with the IW doing better (due to less surface area). But, the Samurai held its own in the conditions. It flew a lot straighter than I thought it would, given the wind. I could probably fine-tune my zero at distance a hair right and up. Just didn't see the point in chasing my tail in the wind.

For a comparison reference, for those unfamiliar with these specific heads, here?s a 125 magnus buzzcut next to the two others.

Which BH did you end up using?
