Videos tagged with Grizzly Broadheads

This video tests the lethal range of a 40lb draw weight recurve bow using ballistics gel and a torso target. At 10 yards, a 600-grain Easton aluminum arrow with a Grizzly broadhead penetrated 5.5 inches. Even at 100 yards, despite a high arc, the arrow achieved 3 inches of penetration, demonstrating retained lethality. While not ethical for hunting at extreme distances, the bow remains a potent tool.

This video explores the evolution of primitive weaponry, from spears and atlatls to traditional longbows and arrows. It highlights how these ancient tools represented peak technology for their eras and compares their effectiveness, particularly in terms of mass vs. velocity in archery, to modern firearms. The discussion also touches on modern recurve bow systems and broadhead design, emphasizing the ingenuity behind early weapon development.
