I always use Zwickey Eskimos but just ordered 6 Tusker Concordes 190 gr to try out.  I guess I'll have to put some work in...thanks again for the info.


Deno

Did you order the single or double bevel

Double.   Not sure which was better

Deno

The doubles shouldnt be as bad but make sure to grind the tips down to a tanto as they are a needle point

Will do  Thanks Justin

from their website:

The Tusker Concorde glue on is available in both 155 and 190 grains, with a 11/32" ferrule for 11/32" or 23/64" shafting, or use with screw in adapters.  Choose from single left bevel, single right bevel or traditional double bevel grinds, all with tanto tips


Deno

Not a problem. Let me know what you think of them

Its hard to tell as one part of the description says all tanto tips and another part says double bevel 190 grain has needle tips

Sure will Justin

Which heads have steel or aluminum adapters and what is the size/weight of the adapters used by the manufacturer? I was surprised the 185 gr Grizzly and 225 gr Kodiak were so close in weight. Were they try to hit a weight of 300 grains?

Im not sure what adapters were used as the manufacturer assembled the test heads for me. I know the kodiak has an aluminum adapter and every other glue on head in the test has steel adapters. I just told them i needed total weight to be between 300 and 325 grains for the test

It was great of you to take the time ,also a very pleasant surprise to see the zwickey no mercy split the wooden support like it is supposed to.

I was wondering whether being thinner the splitting action would be less marked

The wooden support hit was far from planned but it has given me an idea for another test lol

 Acedoc, don't forget; the Zwickey No Mercy is a double bevel!

My bad I thought it was a single bevel. I have seen the concern expressed that the zwickey is too thin to benefit from the single bevel effect.

I dont know about the single bevel no mercy but i do know with the tusker which is a very thin single bevel as well even without the bevel all the way ground it still rotates well going into my broadhead target. The thicker bladed single bevels do ratate more but the tusker does still rotate a good bit.

Here you go.
I like zwickey,  they fly great and hold up to abuse well. Had one stick in a wall after I missed the target.  Only slight tip curl happened.

What I should have stated was the Zwickey No Mercy in the test is a double bevel.  I wasn't very clear.  My bad......

Sometimes you meet such polite guys that it makes  a refreshing change.

I posted the link just to be precise. In fact it's my bad for not reading the thread thoroughly.  I am still amazed that the wood split. I would expect a straightforward penetration with a double bevel.

Hopefully soon the tests will resume. I traded some stuff i had laying around to my dad for a dozen victory vaps so i will be using them for the penetration test as all arrows will be exact matches. I picked up a cardboard ring from work that i will hopefully be using for a mold for my gell if it is still good, just got to melt it all down and pour it in and find space in the fridge so it can set up.

  very interested to see what is next.
