    without a doubt (IMO) the Daysix is the best broadhead here, don't let the water bag test make you think different. They are S30v so they are very hard and don't rust. Also they are very easy to sharpen, no tanto tip like the iron will or weird angles. I've been shooting them for a few years, very good head. Watch those annihilators, they are a big cupped head that catch bone and deflect. They leave a great hole but your less likely to pass through or exit where you started your shot. Just my opinion, try them both like I did.

      Maybe it's my lower experience but I've not understood how a passthrough is better than a heavier bleed out?

      @@jonathangarzon2798 bleed out works best when there isn’t an arrow plugging the hole and slowing blood loss. If you get a full pass, you now have tow drain holes. The only thing that will slow the deer down is blood loss.

      @@jonathangarzon2798 if your talking elk sized big game, more grain weight will give you better penetration. I shoot a 500 grain set up for deer and I find it to be perfect. I know elk guys who shoot 650+. As far as head size, I shoot tiny heads. Tooth of the arrow, they work great

    I’m not knocking any of them but you can’t shoot 4 arrows in the softest part of target then one way high and compare. The QAD shot deep where the other ones did. That arrow next to it didn’t help it.. just my opinion

    Problem we saw during season with annihilater was a serious deflection issue off the ribs on a slightly quartering away shot. Hit was perfect, just behind crease of the shoulder. Tracked bull four days plus at a crawl. Nickel or dime size blood drops, at best. If perfectly broadside may have been very different story. Only explanation is the head never entered the chest cavity. Had same thing happen once before with a four blade Wackem on a follow-up shot. Luckily first shot did the job. Found second arrow slid along ribs up under the shoulder. Have to believe same thing happened with the Annilator.

    Could've been better controlled tests if they each water bag had a mark with the same amount of water, the metal wasn't corrugated, and he target wasn't so shot up in certain areas (a fully consistent media)

    That would have been a perfect demo if u would have not included the QAD & had a Valkyrie Jagger or short Jag instead. I believe it would match up to that Annihilator which got my attention when it came out. However when choosing between high quality heads from Australia or the US it's a no-brainer when all things r equal & u r just splitting hairs.

    Personally bought the anhialators and hated them! Fantastic flight and endurance! Sharp! No blood trail or power. 31 inch draw 75 pound vertix. shot a cow elk in the ribs 4 times. Took a full day and tracking and it was ultimately one of the worst broadheads ever

      I'm sorry to hear that. What angle of shot did you take? I shot a cow elk at 70 yards this year quartering away with a 31.5" draw and 70lb draw, but with the angle of the shot I didn't get much blood at all (typical for any broadhead at that angle) but I was able to recover the elk about 200 yds away.
