Sign of the times…. Why do the hard thing when I can just to the easy one. Who cares if it costs more…it’s easier
Tractor vs Ox.
Often that's called progress.
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.
Going to start coating my broadheads in gatorglide to reduce the drag while going through the animal....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.
Throw your tractor away when it needs an oil change.
Shoot the ox when it needs a drink.
We're making progress now.
They banned plastic grocery bags here. And Straws. Probably paper plates are on the chopping block next.
But I've never repacked birdshot I've pulled from a carcass.

I will admit that I have colored a broadhead with a sharpie before

Your pic shooting into concrete.
Five shots through a steel plate pic. The Woodsman does not like concrete, it's in the instructions, LOL.

Ashby's creed is certainly overkill for whitetails, but I prefer overkill to underkill. The LWCG head did perform better than what I expected, but I still question the design choices, it screams "lets make it different", not "lets make it better"I don't know that a broadhead necessarily has to strictly follow Ashby's creed to be effective for whitetails, but I agree that these types of punch through broadheads would seem to be subject to greater friction and fluid resistance. I was surprised this head even made it 7&1/4 inches in Lusk's gel test, and the Annihilator XL went 8.25". I wonder how much reduced shaft friction is helping there. Of course this is different than field testing, but somewhat surprising to me nonetheless.
Just to ease Plebe, I'm a big fat NO on these broadheads. I treated the early Rage broadheads as disposable but they had one pro that I loved and that was the massive entry/exit holes and blood trails. I don't see that pro on these heads.

Is there any video of anyone affiliated with LWCG shooting a live animal with these broadheads?
I mean I've already said I don't like the LWCG broadhead design, so there's no argument there.
But I suspect there's folks losing deer thanks to the measuring contest that's come from RF/Ashby as well.
