PENETRATION TEST - FIXED VS MECHANICAL
 
The fixed blade vs.. mechanical issue may be settled after a series of scientific tests conducted last month in Utah.  Grim Reaper president and founder, Jay Liechty looks over some of the results of the Mil. Spec. ballistic gelatin slow motion penetration test. What we learned during the testing is going to make you re-think what you thought you knew about broadhead performance.

The Grim Reaper penetration testing was conducted at the Gold Tip Shooting lab by, Jay Liechty, Marvin Carlston and Wade Nolan. We used identical arrows and broadhead weights, shot from the same bow and launched by a Hooter Shooter into Mil. Spec. Ballistic Gelatin. A 12X12 inch square if inner-tube was stretched across the front of the gelatin to simulate skin.
 
Technology prevailed in the testing and the Grim Reaper Razortip (cut-on-contact tip) combined with the patented MAXX-EDGE SS blade technology made an amazing difference in total penetration.
 
Set all of your pre-conceived notions aside...you are about to be educated!
