I do deer management on city hunts….I can vouch for the QAD Exodus. Twenty-one deer so far, shot through shoulders, bones, and joints with no damage to the broadhead. I practice with blades that shot through deer, then replace with new or resharpened blades just before I hunt. Love them!!!

Not into moving parts on my broadheads. The QAD Exodus, Iron Will Vented and Annihilator all get it done for me. There is an aftermarket jig for hollow grinding the edge on the Annihilator that over comes their less-than-impressive sharpness out of the box. It’s called a StaySharp guide. Makes them shaving sharp, and they fly great and are silent. Lots of good heads to choose from though.

Last year I shot a fully mature whitetail doe with the qad exodus. 20 yrd shot, and I had a Complete pass through. The arrow stuck into the dirt roughly 8 in after passing through the deer. The most impressive thing about it was that it broke her offside leg. It didn't go through the scapula. It went through essentially the top of her femur on the off side. Completely broke the leg and aside from being dulled, the broadhead was completely fine.

I agree with your cameraman: come to Australia! I'm not sure about other states, but in Victoria you can hunt any deer except hog deer all year round. If you want to go to the highlands and hunt in the Alpine National Park, you'll need to come while it's open for hunting (I think it's open sometime around Easter to November-ish). No bag limit. Just get a licence and off you go (just don't hunt in no-go areas - there's a free app to find where you can hunt). Hunting hours are half an hour before sunrise to half an hour after sunset. The deer we have in Victoria: * Sambar deer (Cervus unicolor) * Hog deer (Axis porcinus) * Red deer (Cervus elaphus) * Fallow deer (Dama dama) * Chital deer (Axis axis) * Rusa deer (Cervus timorensis) The ones you'll see the most are sambar, fallow and red. So... When are you coming over?

For me the Slick Trick Magnum was the winner here. 4 1.25” blades that seem to smash through everything and come back for more. That 1 1/8” head does more cutting that a 1 1/2” 3 blade (1-2/3” to be equal) and 2 1/4” on a 2 blade! The blades are of course meant to be replaced after every shot, and some of the heads are designed to be resharpened after every shot. But they still held up. Changing blades beats resharpening for me. The fact that the Slick Trick flies SO well, even at very high speeds, is icing on the cake. I love the idea of expendables, but they can be too fragile when hitting bone. I have used the ST and they are my favorite heads, but still trying to be objective here. I see nothing beating them.

Also love the slick trick for the 4 blades but I don’t like open blades kind of wish QAD had a 4 blade. I’m convinced animals jump the noise so quieter the better so QAD exodus was my choice. The evolutions are my favorite hybrids. My questions is do you go for penetration over cut size because hybrids will always deliver a wider cut but 3 blades and even 2 blades will out penetrate.
