Annihilator BH

Never heard of it. I wonder just how many broadheads brands are out there ? How many do we need ? WOW.

Another pricy $$ broadhead. Don't need to spend that much to kill an animal.
Resahrpening tho may save money in the long run ??

The picture you posted appears to me to have a "scooped" bottum. If that is the case, I would be concerned about slowing/stopping momentum resulting in a lose of penetration. Am I viewing the picture wrong?

No, you’re viewing it exactly right. It does have a scooped bottom and yes, you would think this design causes a slow down or drop. I’ve been viewing many tests of this Bh on-line and only one found it to drop after 40 yds. All others I’ve watched and read have ranked it very high in side to side tests for penetration, strength and cutting/wound channel.
Just yesterday I saw where the tester who found it to drop published an apology as he was challenged by others to retest it and well... you can watch for yourself his findings

Its called the Annihilator re test on you-tube in case my cut and paste job doesn’t work. Lusk Archery Adventures was the tester.
I’m going to get a pkg. of 125 gr and shoot them. Curious as to how my rhinehart target handles them.

Thank You for the retest link. It worked for me. I prefer to see side by side testing when possible. His explanation for the first video makes sense. I believe he is being honest when he states that the Annihilator penetrates better than some, but not as good as others. That tells me, ya better do your own testing.

Again, I would be concerned about lose of momentum from drag and tissue. Thus, resulting in lose of penetration. Noise level as well. Sounds like the company will be introducing a larger cut and a 150gr model this spring. That could be beneficial for elk!

Just watched a review of these last night. This broadhead took 1st overall in their test. Was pretty impressive.

Their website says to expect a 30 day wait time for delivery... they said they’re busy filling store orders.

Dang, I'm not sure the elk will appreciate it.

I watched a lot of reviews on these too. As usual all say this new design is the best. Best flight,,Best wound channel, best hole. They do seem simple. Easy to sharpen. Not cheap. Interesting tho.

I also like the names these broadhead companies come up with.....Annihilator!

I sent a question to Annihilator website and received an ansewr promptly from the Co-Owner. Which I thought was quite unusual. Also quite nice.

Worth a look. Just ordered a 3 pak of 125 gr. There’s a 30 day wait time. I’m down to QAD exodus and these for my Oct elk hunt.

Cant help but wonder how those will shoot compared to field points.

Check out the video above. If memory serves me, the field point baseline poi had a .75” spread. He tested 50 bh’s; and the annihilator won the accuracy competition with the same .75” spread. It also won the angular penetration test (penetration inches shooting through a 1-2” plywood at 40 degree angle - it was the only bh to go all the way through) and came in the top group in bleed out test (shooting through a gallon jug of liquid and timing the drainage in seconds). An incidental observation of damage to the Bh showed this came through with zero damage, ready to hunt.

Double checked and the test has the field point poi spread at 1.25” and annihilator matched that.

they look good. I wonder how many times you can sharpen them and reuse? also wonder what the upcoming larger heads will be like.

The more information I see on these broadheads, the better they look. The only negative I've seen so far is : "They group well, but slightly off of where the Field Points hit". Shouldn't even be a factor in my opinion. Think I'll test some myself.

There seems to be some question about blood trail. Anyone with experience?
