This video tests the penetration power of a 70 lb bow against a massive ball of Saran Wrap using three different arrow tips. A standard field tip only penetrated a few inches, while a carbon steel broadhead went significantly deeper. The stainless steel fixed blade broadhead proved most effective, passing completely through the Saran Wrap ball.
This video tests the penetration of a 70 lb compound bow into a massive duct tape ball using three different arrow tips. A field tip showed significant penetration, followed by a mechanical broadhead which penetrated less. The 350-grain big game broadhead achieved the deepest penetration, demonstrating its effectiveness for large game.
A 70 lb compound bow was tested against a solid wood door and a steel exterior door. A field tip arrow failed to penetrate the wood door completely but fully penetrated the steel door. A broadhead arrow also failed to penetrate the wood door, bouncing off, but passed cleanly through the steel door.
This video tests the penetration power of a 70 lb compound bow against a 5-gallon water jug. A field tip arrow penetrated but did not cause significant leakage, with the entry hole appearing to self-seal. In contrast, a broadhead arrow passed completely through the jug, causing substantial leakage, demonstrating its greater effectiveness for hunting applications.
This video tests the Barnett XP 400 crossbow against a realistic zombie head target, inspired by 'The Walking Dead'. It evaluates the effectiveness of different broadheads and field tips, noting significant damage with broadheads but better penetration and bolt recovery with field tips. The host concludes the crossbow is a viable survival tool, balancing its silent operation and ammo recovery against slower reload times compared to firearms.
This video compares the stopping power of different archery equipment against Stretch Armstrong toys. A recurve bow with field tips barely penetrates the first toy, while a 60lb PSE compound bow with broadheads passes through two. The TenPoint Nitro XRT crossbow, shooting at 470 fps, demonstrates significant power, with broadheads penetrating multiple toys.
This experiment tests the penetration capabilities of various archery equipment against Caterpillar steel-toe boots. Traditional bows (100-200 fps) and compound bows (300 fps) failed to penetrate the steel toe, only damaging the leather. A high-powered TenPoint crossbow (470 fps) also could not penetrate the steel toe, though it severely bent and destroyed the arrow tips.
