This guide outlines a method for testing the lethality and effectiveness of homemade broadheads, inspired by Kentucky Ballistics' approach. It details the use of ballistic gel for penetration assessment and accuracy testing at distance. The expert-level instruction emphasizes material properties and their impact on broadhead performance in a survival context.

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 showcases the Air Venturi Dragon Claw 2 50 caliber big bore airgun, focusing on its performance with arrows. The presenter compares its arrow velocity to a Barnett XP 370 crossbow, demonstrating significantly higher speeds. The video also features projectile testing on various targets, including produce and soda bottles, highlighting the airgun's power and accuracy.

This guide details the modification and testing of a Ruger 10/22 into an arrow gun, as demonstrated by Kentucky Ballistics. The process involves using .22 caliber blanks to propel arrows, with extensive testing against water jugs, ballistic gel, car doors, and body armor to assess its power and penetration capabilities. The video highlights the significant velocity and terminal performance achieved by this unique firearm conversion.

This video provides a comprehensive review of the Barnett XP370 crossbow, demonstrating its performance with various arrowheads. The presenters highlight its weight distribution, the effectiveness of different cocking mechanisms, and the penetration capabilities of both field points and mechanical broadheads like the Gobble Getter and Shockwave. They also conduct tests on targets ranging from bag targets to soda cans and pumpkins, showcasing the crossbow's power and accuracy.

This video demonstrates the penetration capabilities of a crossbow with broadheads compared to previous bullet tests. The 10-Point Nitro XRT crossbow, shooting at approximately 470 feet per second, was used with broadhead-tipped arrows to test penetration through two 10-pound bags of Skittles. The broadhead arrows significantly outperformed the bullets, penetrating deeper into the second and third bags.
