Steel Force Traditional Series 2-Blade Single Bevel Screw-In Broadheads Review

Effective Hunting Tool

I use this BH for big game hunting, and it is a part of my trad arrow setup. My carbon arrow setup (Black Eagle Vintage w/ insert and 225 gr SteelForce) was about 550 grains. A steep downhill shot on a WT buck penetrated scapula and farside humerus, and proved lethal. Afterwards it cleaned and sharpened up for more hunts. My experience the bevel angle is 28 degrees and hone… read more up nicely. They are accurate and effective.

Awesome

I have been bow hunting for a long time and I recently decided to switch to Traditional Archery for hunting. I purchased these Broadheads and am absolutely blown away at how sharp they are. I literally cut my finger opening the packaging. I then shot the head into a left over ballistic gel block from another experiment I did recently and the penetration was beyond what I expected.… read more I am literally purchasing another pack of these right after I finish this review.

Good broadheads

Bought a pack of the right bevel, 225gr heads as I am switching over from light arrows with 100gr mechanicals to a heavy arrow/broadhead combo. They come fairly sharp out of the package but I spent some time to get them razor sharp. They fly well out to 50yds with my 70 lb compound bow. Finally had the opportunity to shoot them at an animal. Shot an 80lb boar in the upper chest/shoulder… read more and the arrow passed through and exited behind the ribs, burying up to the fletching in the ground. The hog ran less than 10 yds before it fell over and passed. I don't think my previous arrow setup would have done that. Only downside I have seen is at three inches they stick out of the bottom of my quiver, just have to be careful where I stick my fingers.

Very Effective

After deer season I decided to move to heavier single bevel heads to get more penetration on the pigs that roam our property. Last week I had a chance to hunt, and the 200 lb boar that came out didn't make it back to the brush. The quartering away shot was a little high and severed his spine completely, and then passed through the pig. When I got home it only took a few strokes… read more on a diamond stone to regain that shaving sharp edge. A 300 grain head will require you to adjust sight pins, but with results like this I was glad to move them down!

Lightweight

Sturdy and sharp enough out of the box but do not weight as advertise, 225 grain are 213.

Good heavy broadhead

I couldn't quite get in range of a 62" bull moose last season so my buddy ended up shooting it with his rifle. Once it was down I took the opportunity to test out this 300grain broadhead's penetration. Shooting from about 10 yards away with a #55 Fred Bear Super Grizzly drawing 29". Launching Carbon Express Heritage arrows with a 150 grain insert. With that setup I felt like I was… read more ready to take down an elephant. To my surprise I only got about 8-9" of penetration from the tip of the broadhead. Which in my mind is not sufficient enough to expect a quick kill. Hitting a rib each time didn't help (a high probability with moose), curling the edge of the broadhead quite severely. So now I think I'll stick to lighter broadheads for a flatter trajectory and smaller game (caribou,deer, black bear). Only hunting moose when I have a heavier bow or with a rifle... All in all a good heavy broadhead at a great price, and would probably be my choice again if I went after another moose. A couple notes: Out of the box they were fairly sharp but I touched them up on a hone and leather strop. They fly well and do rotate as they pass through my target. They do get quite rusty in the punishing environment up here. Nothing that will effect performance just appearance.

Great broadhead

These fly just like my field points. I could tell right away I was getting better penetration on my target than with the previous 125 gr 2 blades with bleeder I was using. And last one found its mark on a nice buck. Broadside w/ slight quarter away. The arrow passed all the way through destroying both lungs. Didn't hit any bone however. Broadhead unfazed, ready to hunt after rinsing… read more off. Short blood trail. I was using a 50# pse legacy longbow and the 225 gr option.

Beautiful and deadly!

The simple design and great price in comparison to the quality easily explains why they are in "Backorder" status so often. I bought 3 originally to test and they are amazing in game. Even after a pass through and ending up in some rocky soil, the edges were still sharp and with a few strokes on a diamond stone, the briadhead was ready to go back to the field. The weights are great,… read more as I prefer heavy blades, as they offer a wide range. They fly consistently well and allow for great rotation. That is why I ordered more and my hunting arrows are now all topped with this beautiful but deadly broadhead!

Sharp, But Don't Weigh Up

I received the 300 grain right bevel model in the mail today. Right out of the packaging, they're hair-popping sharp. Then, I put them on my scale and they weighed in at approximately 275 grains to me that's a far cry from 300 grains.
