The review of the tests performed on muzzy MX3 broadheads continues where one of these broadheads was shot for the penetration test was shot at a rib cage out of a white tail target and after examination of all the facets of the head after the shot the conclusion was that the bow hunter would not hesitate in shooting a deer in the rib cage or ribs with these muzzy MX3 broadheads. The next test was to shoot hunting arrows at a steel belted radial tyre with the muzzy MX3 broadheads attached to the end of these hunters arrows. These steel belted radial tyres mimics the real life setup where you are hunting a game animal where the broadhead might strike a bone during the shot at the animal.
There would probably be empty space between the ribs as well for the broadhead to negotiate. Then the head will hit the other side of the animal. The steel belted radial tyres are obviously a lot tougher than the real life game animal's ribs and flesh but it is a good test to see how these specific types of broadheads perform. After the shot was fired into the tyre the head was removed inspected and analysed. What was found was that the trocar head was in great shape as it was still sharp and pointed or pointy. The blades of the head did roll slightly but that was to be expected. However the blades are still sharp and none of the blades were noticeably bent out of shape. So the final conclusion that the muzzy MX3 broadhead was not damaged.
The next test that was performed on these muzzy broadheads was the extreme test. The target used for this extreme test was iron and in fact it was an old iron wood stove where the iron used to make the stove was eight inch thick. The broadhead penetrated the iron by one sixteenth of an inch. What it can be called is that it was a catastrophic failure but can be expected because no bow hunter or archer is going to be shooting ion to steel or iron plates that are eight inches thick. No animal is that tough to penetrate anyway but it was worth the test and a lot of fun just to see how much damage these muzzy MX3 broadheads would suffer. The trokcar tip was completely broken off.
