WEDGEHEAD 175 M STEALTH, by EL&B Outdoors: BROADHEAD TEST

DISCOUNT CODE: LUSK10 = 10% OFF. This is a test of the Wedgehead Stealth 175 M by EL&B Outdoors. Here is summary of my 2025 Testing Procedure w/scores of this head posted in parenthesis as well. 1. Flight Forgiveness (20%, 20 pts) I'm using a Killer Instinct Logix 435 crossbow, mounted to a BOG tripod, shooting a 685 gr Bishop GOAT bolt (300 fps) @ 30 yds. Field pts hit in the 10 ring & bullseye. I use the same bolt to shoot the broadhead. The only diff in the 2 shots is the broadhead's flight forgiveness vs that of the field pt. A bullseye gets a score of 11/10, or a score of 22. The 10 ring gets a 10/10, or 20 points; a 9 ring gets a 9/10 or 18 points... w/ each wider ring being 1/2" farther from the bullseye. Mechs are given 1 Bonus Point for extra forgiveness. 2. Cut Size (20%, 13.89 pts) The more tissue cut, the more lethal the head, all else equal. The entrance cut, total cut, & width of the cut (a crucial variable for bloodletting) are all scored: The entrance cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5" then that fraction is weighted to 7% of the score. (1.25" + .56" =1.81” = 6.37 pts) The max cut size is compared to a standard of 2.5", then that fraction is is weighted to 7% of the score. (1.81" or 6.37 pts) The max cutting diameter is compared to a standard of 2.0", then that fraction is weighted to 6% of the score. (1.25" = 3.75 pts) 3. Blades (20%, 19.93 pts) Initial sharpness 9%, 195 grams = 10/10 = 9+.05 =9.05 pts & Edge Retention (9%, +7 grams = 9.86/10 = 8.88 pts) are measured using Edge On Up Sharpness Tester. The pressure needed for a blade to cut thru a copolymer wire is measured in grams. Edge Retention is the loss of sharpness after the head is shot in Pen Test 1, thru 1/2" MDF & 2/3" rubber foam mat & Clear Ballistics FBI gel. For every 50 "grams" of sharpness lost, 1 point is deducted from 10. What are some sharpness scores for common edges? A butter knife takes 2000 grams of pressure to break the co polymer wire. A new high end cutlery edge: ~ 375 grams of pressure. A utility razor blade: 200 grams. Based on the many broadheads I have tested, here is my scoring scale: Out of the Box Sharpness: 0-200 gr: 10 201-300 gr 9 301-400 gr: 8 401-500 gr: 7 501-600 gr: 6 Ease to resharpen or replace blades is judged & given 2% of the score (10/10= 2 pts) 4. Penetration (20%, 16.46 pts) There are 2 penetration tests: Pen Test 1: 1/2" MDF, 2/3" rubber foam mat, Clear Ballistics FBI gel. Depth of penetration is compared to a standard of 9" & weighted to 10% of the score. (8" = 8.89 pts) Pen Test 2: Layered cardboard. # of layers penetrated is compared to a standard of 70 layers & weighted to 10% of the score. (53 layers= 7.57 pts) 5. Durability (20%, 19.85 pts) Each head is shot thru 1/2" MDF 3 times. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 12% of the score. (10/10=12 pts) It is then shot thru 22 ga steel twice. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 5% of the score. (10/10=5 pts) It is then shot into concrete once. Its condition is judged 1-10 & weighted to 3% of the score. (9.5/10=2.85 pts). Steel plate & concrete are certainly not "realistic" mediums, but they do reveal the outer limits of a head's durability. Bonus: +2.25 pts extra thick blades (.13”) TOTAL SCORE: 93.38 pts =10 Golden Arrows Price: $25/head; Use Discount Code LUSK10 for an extra 10% off Special Notes: Please check out my sponsor, Stay Sharp Guide. https://staysharpguide.com or @Innovative Outdoorsman They make excellent broadhead sharpeners.
