Fixed blade broadheads have accounted for 263 kills with an average recovery of 58.05 yards.

Mechanicals have accounted for 109 kills with an average recovery of 46.87 yards.

Slick Tricks have the most kills for the fixed blade broadheads at 88.

Rage accounts for the most mechanical kills at 36.

The average recovery for the Slick Tricks were 49.12 and for the Rage it was 48.8.

I'm leaving for a week in the morning. If anyone want to know how a specific broadhead has performed, then wait until I get back. I'll do a better breakdown at that point.

Interesting data when you start thinking about the cost of the broadheads and the average recovery distance.

Thanks for keeping the data Scott.

I find this stuff fun . . .call me crazy.

Keep the data coming. I got some home improvement projects going on . . .Insurance claims. I should be finished up with that next week and can concertrate on Christmas. :)

Then I'll get caught up on the data . . .I promise.

In the meantime, if you have a question about a specific broadhead, then shoot me a pm.

Thanks,

Scott
