This guide details a penetration test comparing different arrow tips against drywall using a 70 lb compound bow. The Yee Yee Life host, an archery enthusiast, demonstrates proper form and knowledge of arrow components. The test reveals that a standard field tip achieved the deepest penetration, outperforming both a cheap broadhead that failed and a premium broadhead that was hindered by its design.

Quick Summary

In a drywall penetration test using a 70 lb Hoyt compound bow, a standard field tip demonstrated superior performance, penetrating four layers of drywall. A cheap Amazon broadhead failed after the first layer, and a premium 350-grain broadhead only penetrated one layer, highlighting that field tips can offer the most penetration in certain mediums.

Frequently Asked Questions

What arrow tip penetrated the most drywall layers in the Yee Yee Life test?

In the Yee Yee Life test, a standard field tip achieved the greatest penetration, successfully passing through four layers of drywall and stopping in the fifth. This outperformed both a cheap broadhead and a premium 350-grain big game broadhead in this specific scenario.

Why did the premium broadhead perform poorly against drywall?

The premium 350-grain big game broadhead, despite its weight and cost, only penetrated one layer of drywall and stuck in the second. This was likely due to its high surface area and friction, which hindered its ability to push through the material compared to a field tip.

What happened to the cheap Amazon broadhead during the drywall test?

The cheap Amazon broadhead failed significantly during the drywall penetration test. It penetrated the first layer but its blades sheared off in the second layer, causing the arrow to stop prematurely in the third layer.

What is the main takeaway regarding arrow tip performance against drywall?

The primary takeaway from this test is that for pure penetration through materials like drywall, a simple field tip can often outperform specialized broadheads. Broadhead design, while crucial for hunting, may not always translate to maximum penetration in all mediums.
