LWCG Arrowhead broadhead

U guys aren't even mentioning the fact that u will no longer be alerting those big bucks to ur presence with the sun glinting off of those inferior non diamond coated broadheads that u can use more than once

You keep making fun of that, but given a choice I'll take a dark colored broadhead over shiny bare metal. It's logical.

Is it safe to expect that after one rides around in the quiver for a while, you are going to be shooting a butter knife because it is not meant to be resharpened?

I think you'd have to test it and find out, lol.

Lusk did initial sharpness as well as an edge retention tests, even though it's a "one time use" broadhead. You could compare those measurements to other broadheads he's tested and maybe get a sense of it.

As Lusk demonstrated in his video, the tip will expand like a rifle cartridge upon impact with anything not flesh and organ

It was in "excellent shape" after going through MDF.

Indeed the tip was "blunted" after two shots through steel plate, "but structurally held together fine". Same with concrete, where it penetrated "very deeply".

(I don't know how any of that directly correlates to what it would do to deer parts.)

It also appears Lusk used the same broadhead the entire test, which is worth noting.

I had my mind blown when I heard him say that .....i have black coating on my broadheads but I didn't seek them because of that... They just so happened to be that way. I haven't had an instance, seen an instance, or heard of an instance of the sun reflecting off of a broad head alerting animals and I live in the sunshine state. Maybe I haven't been hunting long enough yet. Hahaha. A shot of spray paint maybe if u really worried about it.

I think it's hilarious marketing so I feel it's required to make fun of it. Indestructible 1 time use....hahahahaha

You could always just color your broadhead with a sharpie if you were worried about it. But I ain’t haha.

Or we start a broadhead company and instead of diamond coating we hand sharpen to a Lusk sharpness level of 26.5 and then coat it in camo

It's not like it's the primary pitch, or something exclusive to LWCG. It's just a feature they're pointing out.

I have heard of broadhead reflection talked about long long ago. Who knows if it really ever spooked a deer, but folks signal airplanes by reflection so who knows.

Given a finish that actually also does something (like increases slippage, increases durability, etc.), vs raw metal, if it also eliminates reflection, I'm for it.

I feel the same about this as about their arrow insert they had a few years back, claiming to create a better blood trail. Haven't heard a peep about this since the initial product reveal...

Did they ever even bring that to market?
 
I thought this was a poorly timed April Fool's joke until the Lusk video..... Why? There are plenty of disposable 3 blades available at this price point why buy the one that looks like a lego brick? What kind of energy does it take to push this through viscous tissue? that will then close behind that fat head and not stay open like Lusk alluded to. Seems like they took whatever RF and Dr. Ashby have said about braodheads and went the opposite direction.

I like most of LWCG stuff but I don't get this.
I have been using Woodsman broadheads for 25 years. At $66 for a 6 pack, can be resharpened. And I have used the same broadhead on multiple kills. Never retired any of them.
I did not know I was doing it wrong for so long!

The LWCG marketing is criticizing "high maintenance expensive heads".

I do often enough see threads about folks having difficulty sharpening heads of certain geometries and steel types. They're usually expensive.

Of course there are low maintenance expensive and inexpensive broadheads as well. To each there own.

I've been shooting mechanicals and disposing of them after each kill for a long time and I don't think I've been doing it wrong either, and can't complain about the results.

What ever works for you.

Don't know how difficult some broadheads can be to sharpen.
So easy even a GeoFish can do it.
