![]() This was most apparent in tip design, but it also extended into edge sharpness. Heads that pushed the media out of the way rather than sliced through it did poorly in the push-force test. Sharpness Is Critical Rage broadhead edge before the push test. The Ramcat Diamondback Hybrid, a 2-inch mechanical, had a push force total of 146.75 pounds and the Muzzy Merc, a 1 ⅛-inch wide 3-blade, had a push force of 149.1 pounds. This was obvious in the best penetrating mechanical versus the worst penetrating fixed blade. In the push force test, we saw several wide cutting heads penetrate better than narrow ones. One of the most important tests conducted was the push force test, which measured the amount of force required to push a broadhead through different media. If you asked me before the test what would cause a broadhead to penetrate poorly, I would say cutting width. Tip Design Is Important The Ramcat Diamondback Hybrid. On the flip side, a mechanical might be the best broadhead choice if you can’t get your compound bow tuned perfectly. A bow that’s easy to tune and the skill to tune it will allow you to shoot just about any broadhead. But, the bow with a decent tune still shot mechanical broadheads with accuracy. I’ve since tried to shoot several of the best fixed-blade broadheads through bows with decent tunes, and the results were less than satisfactory. I used a bow that shot a bullet hole through paper and grouped fletched and bare shafts at 20 yards. The key to shooting sub-3-inch groups at 40 yards with broadheads was the bow’s tune.
