Great review, thank you. That Axis deer had my attention when ever it was in the back ground. You have some great memories hanging on the wall.
Remi Thanks Remi. Those Axis are beautiful animals!

I love the Hurricanes, they are accurate, awesome penetration and create a large wound channel which brings game down quickly.
I have used the same broadhead on four fallow deer with only a little touch up with a stone.
I enjoy watching your channel mate.
That's great to hear. Thank you for sharing that.
The dullest broad head I’ve ever seen straight out the box I mean Jesus they come with a light up displaying package but I literally could snatch them across my tongue and wouldn’t even get a paper cut with that said save me 12$ and take the damn light out the package and if you label something extremely sharp at least put somewhat of a edge on the shit
It flew really well at 80 yards. That's a pretty cool broadhead. Great review.
I was really impressed with the flight; it was extremely forgiving.
John I orded 3 packs of these and they just got here and I'm super impressed at the sharpness of them... after reading all the comments I really believe they have stepped up there game at sharpness... so ready to try them out here in North Carolina...
Nice. Good luck. Love these heads.
Great job man love the channel
Thank you Ronald. Much appreciated.
Tuff and affordable! Great review John! Might have to check them out!
Barrett Kegley Good summary. Thank you.

Another great review 👍 to lusk archery adventures
Thank you Steve. Much appreciated brother.
That’s Australian broadheads, great review 👍🏹
Yes sir. Great heads. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I know this is an old review, but great job. You definitely do the best broadhead reviews...any where. I bought a few of these and I have to say, for me, the tip is the weak point. The way the channels in the ferrule come together makes the tip really thin and weak. Especially compared to something like the tooth of the arrow. Couple that with soft steel and I see this head having a strong chance of failing on a large bone impact like an elk shoulder or femur. Like I said though, great reviews...I really appreciate them.thanks.
Yeah, I noticed that when I shot their Elite 3 into concrete and it held up fine, whereas the Hurricane bent a bit.
That’s a beast of a head. That wound channel looked devastating.
Yeah, I'd really like to test it on an animal. Thanks for watching and commenting.
That looks like an awesome design, just needs a better steel. I hope someone does that with a little tougher material. love the ballistic jell results. Thanks for the Great review John!
Nick Ambrose Thanks brother. I’m sure the steel is good enough for most hunting situations.
I already replied to this under John L, but to clear it from my inbox, I need to reply under this channel :)
Nick, of Ozcut, sure has taken a lot of animals all over the planet with these. I'm sure he using 5-600 grain arrows? but he's getting a ton of pass thru shots. These are super pricey but would last hundreds of kills. So they are really a great value in the long run. Thanks for all your test videos.
Yeah, I really liked this head
Man this may have my attention!
It's a winner, for sure.
John would love to see you test ramcat originals I have some brand new and live in Des Moines but I’d like to see them put through the paces and see if they are worth using or not. Could you do a show on them?
Hey Big Mike. That's funny; I've always wanted to do a "real" test on them. I almost bought some the other day, but I've way overspent my testing budget this year, with the elk scapula, gel, and a bunch of other heads.
Great review, any chance you could do a quick vid on sharpening these?
That's a good suggestion. They are not very difficult to sharpen--though they do look like it. Just stay on the bevel line and use any flat edge.
Reminds me of a Red Feather Phoenix, I wish they still made them!!!
Yes, it does...but these are way better.
After the steel and the concrete (not a fair target for any broad head) It seems their hardening is off, not because the head was damaged by the concrete but by the type of damage. Unless the steel sheet was hardened the edge should have less damaged although it would need to be sharpened. My issue is that it is not a cut on contact head but a punch pointed head. Cut on contact have proven to be the most effective on deer sized critters. Good video and a beautiful trophy room.
Since I did this test, the company has been bought out. And now they use much better steel. And they refine the design. I just retested it and that video will be coming out soon. It did amazingly well.
Great review! I just received several packs and have found that they actually fly similar to 100 GR weighted broad heads in my setup. Question is how do you recommend sharpening these?
Thanks for watching and commenting. These are great heads. I just use a thin flat stone, like a file or KMT type sharpener, and follow the existing bevel. They're not super hardened, so they're not that difficult to sharpen.
I'm be using the toothofthearrow for my hunting set up , I can get accurate flight out too 100 yrds , and actually killed my deer last year with one @ 80 yrds. Deer didn't go 25 yrds after a clean pass threw !!!
What's everyone else using? And you Mr. Lusk what are you hunting with this year ?
Thanks brother. Yeah, hard to beat TOTA. I also am giving out a discount code for 15% off of any purchase of them: LUSK19 is the code. I'm going to be testing several different heads this fall :)
What is your favorite or best fixed blade broadheads and mechanical
Man, it's hard for me to narrow down. I've tested some really really good ones. For Mechs, I really like the Sevr 1.5 and 1.7 and the Afflictor Hybrids. For fixed, I like the Bishop, Iron Will, Tooth of the Arrow, Exodus, and Hurricane.
Hey John! Any way to test this head using your 2023 protocol?? Awesome job as always!
Thank you. I've asked them for some to test several times. They've said they would, but then never followed thru. If someone donates a pack, I'll do it.
John, I think you should note that when using single bevel you need to confirm your arrow fletching and cut direction of the broadhead are the same. If not they will fight each other.
That's a great point! Thank you for mentioning that. I don't know many people using left fletching nowadays; most jigs are shops use a right, so it's a non issue. But there could be some out there. I should have said that. Thank you.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures When I first started, and being a lefty I thought having a left helical would have been better. It was a lesson I had to learn.
Great point. Thank you.
Did these fly with your FP's or did you have to tune ? Thanks
Oh absolutely. My bow is well tuned, but I made zero adjustments.
Interesting head and great review. To difficult to sharpen in my opinion. Any future tests featuring the Bone 200 gr head??
Yeah, I'm going to do some work on sharpening it and see if I can figure something out. The Bone seems like a good head, but there are some things about the design that are not that appealing to me, and I usually only test heads that I would consider using.
Lusk Archery Adventures if you don’t mind me asking what are the design characteristics of the head that push you away from it?
I do like the head, I think I was cut makes the meanest three blade on the planet, they’re just very difficult to get sharp, I’ve played with my now with several different sharpening methods and have not been able to get a great edge
That's interesting Mark. I've only taken a quick stab at it and I'm having some trouble as well. I will give it some more effort and see what I can do. It sure is a cool head.
Have you tried grizzly stik? They're my favorite single bevel broadheads
Yes, I have. I have them tested in another vid, on Single Bevel Heavyweights.
So what if my fletchings are a left helical. is the broadhead and fletchings going to be fighting each other in arrow flight?
They will to a degree. I always make sure my bevels match my fletching helical.
Does the head have a right or left wing rotation? Have you tested the Annihilator broadhead?
Thanks Michael. It has a right wing rotation, as you can see from the blades in the title pic. I have not tested the Annihilator yet.
So what kind of arrow weight, or arrow set up did you use to get it to fly accurate? I feel if I screwed one of those on my 430 gr airstrikes it wouldn't fly well. Thanks.
They flew very well for me back then. I just got some of the newer model and am eager to test them. They have very little surface area.
Is this broadhead set up for left helical or right helical?
Right.
May not be a wide cut but those three blades rotating.... Wow.
Yeah, that's a pretty cool feature.
What do you mean by lower kinetic energy setups and why is that preferable for elk, moose, and deer?
That means for bows that generate less KE--lower poundage or shorter draw length or lighter arrows. This head has a pretty small cut so it's good for larger animals or lighter set ups--it penetrates well, in other words.
do a review of the badger broadhead!
Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching and commenting.
do you recommande this hurricane broadhead for trad recurve hunt ?
That is a good question. I do not do any testing with trad gear, so I am really not sure I can accurately answer that question. But from everything I can see, I think it would do very well.
They seem to be a bit soft, any idea what they are hardened to?
Yeah, they were pretty soft. I encouraged them to work with a better steel. But they are a cool design.
Need to test out the bone broadheads
Thanks Chad. Maybe I will at some point, but there are some things that are not very appealing to me about the Bones.
Which way is the rotation of the head. Left or right. It looks like a left rotation on the mdf.
Right rotation. You can see that in the angle of the bevel in the thumbnail pic.
Should put a secondary crossbreed broadhead behind it 🤙🏼😉
Hmmmm...Why do you suggest that?
If you do a test on the Annihilator Broadhead can u say which one you would choose between these two
Outdoor OVERDOSE yes I agree. I’ve been looking at annihilator as well. Would like a comparison review
Honestly, I think the Hurricane would prevail. The scoops on the Annihilator cause a dramatic loss of speed and thus drop at longer ranges and the cutting diameter is just so small. But I should do some testing on it.
Lusk Archery Adventures have you tried them on game?
This being 3 years old, Do you by chance know if they have gotten better steel for these broadheads if one were to buy a set today?
I don’t know of any improvements. I suggested they use a better steel, but I don’t think they changed anything. They were supposed to send me more to test but never did.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures yikes! Thanks for the follow up
How do u resharpen them..be a hard head to sharpen
Yep, very hard to sharpen. It's because they have two different bevels--the actual edge and then the lead up to the edge. So it's not easy to find the exact bevel to sharpen.
Well, I worked on it a bit more and have realized it's not that difficult after all. It's certainly not a breeze, but it's not too bad. I got this one that went through steel looking really good again!
Where the hell did you kill a werewolf (over your left should on the wall) and what the heck did you use? Silver tipped arrows?
Lol, that's a javelina.
Haha. That's funny. It is a Javelina. And it was really special cause I wounded it, and had to belly crawl into a 1/2 long "tunnel" of brush to get it. And it charged me face to face, just like that! I screamed at it and then stood up, broke out of the brush and drilled it at almost point blank yardage. Pretty exciting memory :)
Lusk Archery Adventures - could you test out the toxic broadhead?
Nice thx
brandon beers Thank you Brandon
I already replied to this under John L, but to clear it from my inbox, I need to reply under this channel :)
Have you heard of American broadhead co. They are really cheap and seem like a good company. They have some smaller diameter broadheads and some that are larger, so they seem like they have something for everyone too. I’ve just never heard of them, until today, so I don’t know if there’s a reason, or if they’re just a hidden Jen. Anyways great video, lots of info and a really cool broadhead!
Hey Tanner. Yeah, I know them for sure. Honestly, I thought they were long gone. I remember the Sonic and Liberty. They had some durability issues back when they were more popular. It's good to see they are still around.
I used to shoot them and I as well thought they were long gone. I've had great results on whitetail with them. I belive the sonic liberty head is 1-3/16. I shot the 1 in and loved the accuracy. The blades on the new models seem to hold a good edge so far. I'm running tooth of the arrow broadheads/ vortex 100 grain 2.0 steel. And looking into the wasp havalon head. ? Have you ever tested steel force phat heads. Great head smaller cutting diameter but built like a tank.
John, how did you feel about the "Out of the package" edge on these heads?
It was fine. Due to the blade angle and thickness, it won't be as sharp as some super thin blades, but it was plenty sharp.
I already replied a while back using John L, but in order to clear my "comments not yet replied to" box, I'm posting this from my main channel :)
How hard is it to pull the arrow with the broadhead out of a target and what kind of target do you use
Any single bevel presents a challenge to targets. I'm use the new Sevr HD target and I love it. It's the easiest one to pull single bevels out of. Check them out...and you can use my discount code LUSKFIVE to save an extra $5.
That's a subscribe. I am REALLY curious about tuning your fletching angle to match the aerodynamic rotation of the head.
The edge chatter can be cleaned up, but case hardening would fix a LOT of problems here, would make it more expensive.
And I wonder if a wider would effect the accuracy?
Awesome video!! Thank you!
Thank you. You do not have to change anything about your fletching. And yes, a larger diameter cut would cause the head to be a little less forgiving in flight.
How is it sharpening the head with a single bevel? And have you shot an animal with it? I'd like to see the results on a shoulder. Nice review 👌
I think I mentioned it in there. Single bevels are typically easy to sharpen, but not with the Hurricane. There are two different bevels--the actual edge and then the lead up to that edge. That makes it difficult to find the exact bevel to sharpen. It's not impossible by any means...but it's not the easiest that's for sure.
I spent a few more minutes working on sharpening this head and it's not as difficult as I thought at first. It wasn't a breeze, but it is certainly doable.
I really hope they produce a 200grain hurricane for crossbows.
Yep
will you test the hurricane against the annihilator 125
That's a good suggestion. I'm supposed to be getting some more Hurricane's to test. I need to put them through my new test mediums.
Hurricane or annihilator? Never mind the price difference I would like to purchase the best of the two. Does anyone have any opinions?
They're both good, but both have very small cuts. Of the two, I'd go with the Hurricane, personally.
If they used the same steel as the iron will, it would be absolutely stellar. !!
Yeah, no doubt. Hard to machine this kind of head with A2 tool steel.
I bought some of the 100 gr. They didnt feel very sharp too me.
Yeah, and resharpening is not too easy
Actually mine all came dull. the main blades were dull and the back edges were extremely dull and because it’s a single bevel it twists in the target one way, and backs out a different way so it Does more damage ripping it out because it doesnt follow the same entry path and rips chunks out of the target. I’m a huge single bevel fan but they destroy targets but not in a good way. However I do love their solid machine to blade and they’re solid machine three blade 150 green heads
Just remember, if they are destroying targets due to the rotational cut of the broadhead. Thats what they will be doing to animals in the field. The whole notion of a Hurricane is to twist through flesh, creating wound channels that cannot close up.
Yeah, Mark, I expect that with Single Bevel heads. I knew these were going to rio up my Rhinehart; but I also knew that was a good thing for hunting purposes :)
Mine came so dull that I could not cut myself if I tried! After an hour of trying to sharpen them, I gave up. And I have sharpened many broadheads. I never even bothered to shoot one, they are going back.
Ok. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
What do you recommend for sharpening these heads?
Not the easiest in the world to resharpen. But I use a flat stone, that is small enough to maneuver onto each blade. Single bevels are always easier to sharpen than double bevels, so it has that going for it. Just mark the bevel with a Sharpie then stroke the blade to get that Sharpie removed.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures , thanks for the guidance and all your content. These reviews are thorough and delivered in an approachable manner. Keep it up, we're grateful for your hard work!!
@@LuskArcheryAdventures thank you for the info. I had emailed Ozcut but never got a response about this. Keep up the good work!
You need to get the annihilator.
I should do that. But my budget is pretty overdrawn at this point. I spent way to much on Broadheads, boards, steel, and gel :)
What grain weight were used in the test?
I cannot remember now, but I believe it was 125 grain.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures ty sir!
The annihilator broadhead will smoke that broadhead it's still a great broadhead.
Maybe. But I'm not sure about that. It would be good to test both on a few animals. I've not tested either on game yet.
Long range flight?
Derek Lecount Did you see the vid? It was incredibly forgiving at 80 yds.
I already replied to this under John L, but to clear it from my inbox, I need to reply under this channel :)
Compare the zeus broadhead to this broadhead your testing out
The zeus is a great head, but this is a solid chunk of steel and has that really nice single bevel feature. I would trust the durability of the Hurricane on a big animal more than I would trust the Zeus.
That block test was enough to make me want to pass... That does not give me the confidence to use on elk hunt! So many other broad heads you tested did just as well or better and stood up much better to the block and steel test! JMO
Yeah, I can understand that Chris. The steel is a bit on the softer side...but again, concrete is a lot harder than any elk bone. The Hurricane did great through steel and MDF. But there are quite a few other heads that did well against the concrete, as you said. Thanks my friend.
"What head do I not like?"
"They gotta be thick like that!"
I was wondering if I was the only one that caught that 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Personally, I'll stick with Magnus Broadheads. But these broadheads are awesome!
They are pretty cool.
Ive used magnus for years, i use the 125 grn snuffer ss 3 blade on deer and goats and the vented 2 blade 125 on pigs
I like the idea of this broadhead if they would just make it out of some better harder steel. I mean you hit a Rock one time and your broad head is toast.
Yeah...but then again, a hard impact on a rock will damage pretty much any head made.
Looks like a challenge to sharpen.
Yeah, not the easiest...but with thin flat stone, it's not that difficult either.
I just bought a set and they are the dullest head I've ever seen. I can run my finger with pressure on the edge and it is dull as a butter knife
Yep.
Ozcut starts using higher quality tool steel, higher hardness and it would be my goto 3 blade
Yeah, they've done better with the Elite Series.
I guess I expected more of these. They look okay, but they won’t be replacing my Iron Will broadheads.
Yeah, I would agree with that. If they were of top grade steel, and slightly larger, they would be one of the very best.
@@LuskArcheryAdventures Anything harder and they simply will not re sharpen or anything harder and they run the risk of shattering on heavy bone. Please keep in mind guys we have designed these for maximum efficiency on animals, which have a different density to concrete.
Yeah, the cost would be much greater.
Size is perfect!!! Considering they have twist on them which is going to rob a lot of your penetration. there almost to big for shooting some of the big hard skinned game we have in aus. Personally I’d opt for the same diameter but no twist for large game such as elk....
toxic broadhead. Please do a review on this.
I need to do that at some point.
Test them on game!
I'd like to do that. I test so many broadheads, I can't test them all on animals. I do typically harvest about 15-25 animals per year and use a lot of different heads to do it, but I test about 50 broadheads per year.
I already replied to this under John L, but to clear it from my inbox, I need to reply under this channel :)
This single bevel chunky head should not be damaged by the concrete... This just shows the poor Chinese quality and terrible heat treat.
Well, thanks for sharing that. It is the steel they chose to use. I recommended they consider a tool steel. However, I can understand their choice--it holds up fine in most hunting situations, can be easily resharpened, and is not very expensive.
Yep, I definitely won't be using these when I am out hunting concrete blocks or even bricks.....
"Overall durability"? Using steel and concrete to test a blade is dumb. There is never a need to use for that purpose. Use a bone like instead like someone with some sense.
Well, there is a problem using bone--it's inconsistent. My tests are based on comparative value, so you can see how one head performs compared to another. Bones vary in density and geometry, so there is little comparative value in using them in testing. The point of the durability tests is not to replicate animal tissue, but to test the outer limits of a head's durability against uniform mediums...so there is comparative value.
Stainless steel would have been better.
Well, there are pros and cons of stainless. If they used a tougher tool steel, these heads would be in a class by themselves. But I was still very impressed and would like to test them out on a hunt.
