Here is the business end of the new broadhead that solved the issues common to mechanicals and many fixed blades. Meet S. W. Hacker.
Angled plywood is the most representative test medium for angle penetration tests. It is critical to get the angles correct. We had an engineer present consulting us on broadhead impact angles. Most broadheads performed poorly, except one.
Real results come from authentic testing. We varied the test subjects from steel drums to gelatin and got uniform results. Most broadheads failed. One didn't.
This quality fixed blade broadhead has taken a lot of game and is the choice of many bowhunters. Look closely at the condition of the blades cutting edge's. This head killed a Texas boar. What is your assessment of the blade condition and sharpness after quartering through boar ribs?
Look at the entrance hole. It was a steep quartering shot almost straight down. The exit was impressive as are the antlers on this public land Ohio buck.
Wade Nolan examines the results of a ballistic gelatin test where the arrow shot through deer hide, bone and gelatin.

This actual test head that passed through Deer hair, hide, rib bones and penetrated ballistic gelatin. Note the Swhacker wide cutting blades. They are in virgin cutting condition. Big cutting blades were factory sharp as they deployed in the gelatin. Note the intact Bone Chisel blades that split through the ribs. One is slightly bent but intact. Swhacker engineering at work.

This open on contact slip-cam blade passed through whitetail ribs during our ballistic gelatin testing. Look carefully at the blade's leading edge. Does that meet your standards?
