Saw a similar video about 15 years and have used magnus single blade broadheads ever since with many complete pass throughs unless it hit bone and even then would shatter what ever it hit.
Everyone has there favorite broadhead.some like the open on contact,some like the three blade,but if they would watch this video it would show what many bowhunters have all ready found out,that a single blade takes a lot less force to penetrate the hide.
This would be good for hunters who have to use a lower poundage bow. ;)
Thank God for the woods and the critters that inhabit them

Many expandable and rear deploying mechanicals are now using cut on contact tips.

wouldn't the tips on say muzzy or rocky mtn be cut on contact?
the chisell tips just look a lot tougher than the single blade.

Cut on contacts are great, but chisell tips are tougher bar none, and in reality when my 421.3 grain arrow is traveling at 294 fps it don't matter because it penitrates with 80.88 foot pounds of KE.  That thip they showed just slicing thru the hide is a tip that is used mainly with traditional bows because of the lack of speed in the arrows they are shooting with traditional bows both recurve and longbows.  For the modern compound bow shooter we are afforded a much faster feet per second arrow, and cut on contact tips are not as important.

The chisell points are known for their bone breaking abilities where as the cut on contacts have been known to get the blades rolled over from either bone or rocks on the other side of the game with pass thru shots. 

Broadhead tip comparison study which is much better than the YouTube video.

For what ever reason my broadhead that I'm using this year was not amoung those tested here, but an independant company made a great video of mine and that is enough for me.

So using a game hide on the broadheads without the reflective speed that they are traveling is really making a moot point.  We are not walking up and running our arrow shafts into the animals where you would want that kind of cutting ability.  Chisell points have been working for years, and will continue doing so long into the future after we're gone.
