This video from Yee Yee Life features an experimental test comparing the penetration capabilities of different archery equipment against an airplane door. An enthusiast demonstrates the effects of a 20 lb draw weight bow, a 70 lb draw weight bow with a field tip, and a 210 lb draw weight crossbow with a broadhead. The results show varying degrees of penetration, highlighting the differences in power between the tested items.
This video demonstrates a ballistic test comparing the Tesla Cybertruck's stainless steel door against various archery equipment. A 20 lb compound bow, a 70 lb compound bow, and a 210 lb crossbow were used to test penetration. The Cybertruck door proved highly resistant, with even the most powerful crossbow failing to fully penetrate.
This video tests the durability of a $25 Temu body armor vest against a 75-pound crossbow bolt. While the armor stopped the bolt, it penetrated approximately two-thirds of the way through, indicating it is not arrow-proof despite being rated for 9mm and .223 rounds. The test highlights the limitations of budget body armor against different types of threats.
This video demonstrates a penetration test comparing different arrow tips fired from a 70 lb compound bow into a large duct tape ball. The host, a niche influencer in the outdoor community, shows that a 350-grain big game broadhead achieved the deepest penetration, outperforming both a field tip and a mechanical broadhead. The experiment highlights the importance of broadhead selection for hunting effectiveness.
This video demonstrates a practical test of arrow penetration using a 70lb compound bow against a Continental tire. The host, an enthusiast, tests three arrow tip types: a blunt field point, a 4-blade fixed broadhead, and a 2-blade fixed broadhead. The results show varying degrees of penetration, with the 2-blade broadhead achieving the deepest penetration.
This video from Yee Yee Life demonstrates a practical archery experiment, testing the penetration capabilities of a 70 lb compound bow using both field tip and broadhead arrows against a 5-gallon water jug. The host, an enthusiast, showcases the differences in arrow performance and impact, providing visual evidence of penetration and leakage.
Owen Reigler of Midwest Whitetail discusses his preferred whitetail hunting arrow setup, emphasizing a balance between speed and penetration. He advocates for micro-diameter arrows around 500 grains with approximately 15% FOC, highlighting the importance of a flatter trajectory for longer shots. Reigler also touches on broadhead and fletching choices, favoring four fletch for improved arrow tuning.
This video demonstrates a comparative test of a 9mm Glock and a 70lb draw weight compound bow against Level 3A body armor. The 9mm round was stopped by the armor, while the broadhead-tipped arrow from the compound bow fully penetrated the vest and mannequin. The host, identified as an outdoor enthusiast with familiarity in armor ratings and safe firearm handling, provides an energetic and experimental analysis of the results.
This video from Kentucky Ballistics, featuring expert Scott, provides a comprehensive test of modern crossbow lethality using a Ballistic Dummy Labs zombie torso. It details the performance of the Mission Sub-1 XR and TenPoint Viper S400 with various broadheads, demonstrating significant penetration and wound channel creation, concluding that modern crossbows are highly effective hunting tools.
This video demonstrates a destructive testing experiment by Edwin Sarkissian, an established influencer in the shooting and destructive testing niche. He tests the penetration power of various archery equipment, including a PSE recurve bow, a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow, and a TenPoint Siege RS410 crossbow, against LG flat-screen TVs. A Glock 19X handgun is also tested for comparison. The results highlight the varying penetration capabilities based on the projectile's velocity and design.
This video demonstrates an experiment to test arrow penetration capabilities using a PSE Evoke 31 compound bow. Instructor Edwin Sarkissian, with high authority and expertise, showcases the bow's specifications (75 lbs draw weight, 330 fps) and tests both practice tip and broadhead arrows against a stack of hard hats. The broadhead arrow significantly outperforms the practice tip, piercing through three hard hats.
This video demonstrates an experimental approach to understanding arrow penetration using common objects. Lead Firearms Instructor and SEO Strategist Edwin Sarkissian tests a PSE Compound Bow, a TenPoint Titan M1 Crossbow, and a Traditional Recurve Bow against a target of Wilson footballs. The experiment provides insights into the kinetic energy and velocity differences between these archery platforms.
