Aron has been testing broadheads since Christ was a kid.  With hundreds of animals taken with dozens of various broadheads over the years, this multi year endeavor has culminated in this extensive review. Aron put the final paces on several brands including Schwacker, Evolution, Sevr, Grim Reaper, G5, Bowmar Archery, RMG Gear, Iron Will, Annihilator, Black Hornet, VPA, and Slick Trick.

With the help of good friend John Lusk from Lusk Archery Adventures, they discuss their findings from testing all the broadheads.  John is an engineer by education, so his tests are setup to run each broadheads through the same tests to provide comparable data points.  He tests for cut size, penetration, edge sharpness, edge retention, and durability.
