and all are better steel and sharpen to a better edge
What makes 1 better than the other?

Good question. In my limited experience the 440C that GS uses is nice because it's stainless but because it's stainless it's softer than the steel that Iron Will uses. Downside of the IW is it isn't stainless so it can rust if not cared for properly in a wet environment.What makes 1 better than the other?
Fmj rage hypodermic. Would like to go fixed blade either single bevel or double but find a fix blade that shoots like my field points
I spent a lot of time this spring bare shaft tuning my new arrows for my setup. I achieved a perfect bullet hole and then shot them with Zingers. I had always shot expandables but this year I made the switch to fixed blades. They shot perfect and hit exactly where my field points did.fixed blades don’t shoot. They get shot. A tuned bow, with arrows built properly, shot by a person with perfectly consistent form, can shoot larger surface area broadheads, than can a bow shot 30 times a year, with wal mart arrows built with a four year olds effort and attention span, shot by someone who can’t tel you when they make a good shot.
fixed heads don’t fly well for most people, because most people suck at setting up their equipment, practicing with it, and executing under pressure. I don’t like mechanicals, but I am more convinced of their usefulness after having met people.
the one thing that studies on broadhead efficacy miss, is that hunter incompetency is baked in. One major reason mechanicals correlate to the degree they do with found deer, is that hunters shooting fixed and mechanicals both suck. the advantage of mechanicals needing less precise shooting to fly properly, thus hitting their mark, and usually in a straighter line, equals dead deer. My suspicion is that if you control for hunter incompetency, the pendulum swings wildly in favor of fixed heads.
too long don’t read - broadheads will fly according to your shooting and equipment setup.
I looked at the GS but didn't think the cost was worth it. I also looked at Day 6 arrows and decided on Victory Vap SS 300s. I saved a lot of money and I think they will out penetrate the GS at the same arrow weight.What I did get tho is hunters suck. I've shot bows since I was able to i know exactly what I can do with a cheap arrow or expensive just looking to help myself out a bit.

Added weight will make it easier to tune for your coc broadheads. I just think overall a 520-550 is a great medium for hunting. Still keeps speed decent so not as much drop at distance. Plus you get the decent penetration. I think GS kind of falsely advertise though. They claim to be .204 diameter but that is the inside diameter from what I read. They do taper down from front to back.I've been looking into the day 6. I bought my wife grizzlystik and it has been a game changer for her because of the added weight.
A steel single bevel is going to be 200 grains and up. If you commit to the Grizzsticks you will be north of 600 grains. Have you ever shot that heavy? We all have different ideas on what an acceptable hunting trajectory looks like. The number one pitfall of going this direction is being too heavy for your trajectory tastes.I've been debating buying some grizzlystik arrows and going full ranch fairy or not. Right now I'm just shooting easton fmjs but every deer I have shot with them if not full passthrough they break. I'd also like to do some right helical fletchings and single bevel broadheads. Draw length-28 draw weight- 76 lbs on mathews v3. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. If not grizzlystik then which one and why?
Samurai also come in 150s, I seem to remember 125s too but I can't swear on that.A steel single bevel is going to be 200 grains and up.

Thanks for expanding on the info.Correct. The Samurai is available as a 125 Gr and 200 Gr. They also have the Overkill line which is available in those weight plus 150 and 175. I'll also say that you don't need to limit yourself to the GS broadheads. They're great, however there are plenty of other heads that can be paired with their arrows to still give you what your looking for. Kudu Point has heads in 100, 125, and 150 all as single bevel 2 blade COC. Iron will also goes from 125 to 225 in 25 gr increments.
I bought the arrow test pack this year for Christmas from GS. I ordered it in the 650 GR pack so we'll see what I think of them. When doing my initial research I felt fairly confident in going that route, however I'm thinking something just under the 600 gr weight may be more appropriate. We'll see though and roll from there.
