I used Iron will broad heads for the first time this year when I shot my buck. I am using the vented 100 grain broad heads.
Construction: Excellent. Uses top notch A2 tooling steel which stays very sharp and retains an edge. All of the broad heads arrived in excellent condition and all edges "stuck" to my fingernail.
Accuracy: I'm shooting axis 300 grain arrows with a AAE PM 23 4 fletch and the iron wills needed just a slight adjustment raising my rest to hit with my field points. After the minor adjustment the Iron wills and field tips were grouping out to 70 yards, which is the furthest my sight will go out to. I shot the broadhead into the target about 7 times and it was still sharp enough to stick to my fingernail. Overall I was very happy with the accuracy. The vented broad heads do have a slight "hiss" to them since they are vented. Very similar to the muzzy trocars that I used to shoot.
Field Test: I shot the buck broadside with a very minor quartering away and hit the buck about 2 inches behind the shoulder crease and it exited just at the crease of the opposite shoulder. The deer flinched and ran about 10 yards and then stumbled and after this he walked away about another 50 yards and then expired. The arrow was stuck in the ground and when I retrieved it it was still sharp enough to stick to my fingernail and there was no bending or chipping of any part of the blades. The blood trail was very apparent and he was bleeding from both sides.
Sharpening: I use the innovative outdoors stay sharp guide with 600, 1000, and 2000 grit sandpaper. It is a little bit of a process to sharpen the broad heads, but they end up razor sharp afterwards and it takes about 30 min per broad head to get them back to factory sharpness.
Final Thoughts: Overall, I am extremely pleased with how the broad heads have performed and would highly recommend. The company also has a lifetime warranty against any issues to the blades such as bending or chipping. The only knock I would give the vented version is that it is a little bit of a pain to clean the vents and you want to make sure they get clean and dry so no rusting occurs. If I were to buy another set I would consider the solid version to avoid this issue as well as the "hiss."
Let me know if you guys have any questions! Also, I've had a couple glasses of whiskey so pardon any syntax errors!
