Ok my buddy called me up yesterday wanted to know if id come over to take out some does to help him and his property so i said yeah got the green light to shoot 2 so we tested out the reds against the mayhems to just see whats better for hunting both arrows cut to 28 with nocturnal nocks and g5 t3s so the test was on 2 does 2 shoulder hits i shot the red first right into her shoulder at 27 yards got about 6 to 8 inches of penetration doe ran about 110 yards and droped in a ravine this was at 1 pm found her droped her off at the barn went right back to the stand 3pm the second doe was shot with a mayhem the mayhem went into her shoulder at 31 yards got 12 to 14 inches of penetration doe ran 40 yards and droped where we could see her got her back to the barn and looked at both does shots almost the same spot i just couldnt believe how much more penetration the mayhem had im not nocking the reds but the mayhems have more penetration power and it was a further shot how come both arrows just about weigh the same both shot outta my bow same poundage and draw later we chronod a red and mayhem the mayhem was a bit slower than the red i think the reds are great for 3d or tournys but ill stick with the mayhems for hunting after seeing this it didnt bother me he wanted to test this i was all up for it he taped it itll be on youtube soon ill upload the link here when he does what are your guys thoughts and likes i like both but the mayhems brought mayhem last night lol
Yes we where shooting for shoulder hits to see what arrow had more knock down power it was his idea he bought 3 single reds to test them against the mayhems the vid will be ready soon.
They where both shot with my 65 lb heli m not my creed since my creed is outta comission for a bit due to the cable touching the cam issue ive been having
Did you hit both does in the same exact spot? Were they both the same size deer? Plus there was a 4-5 yard difference. Not sure what the standard is? But congrats on the harvests!!!!
Yeah both were same size old nany does just about maybe a few pounds difference no bucks are wanting them there 6 or so years old hes been wanting to take them off his property both shots were just about the same spot a couple inches in difference prob they were straight in the middle of the shoulder he came up with the idea he loves the mayhems but wanted to test the reds to see if there worth buying
A heavier arrow will always outpenetrate a lighter arrow when shaft diameter etc is kept constant. A heavier arrow maintains its momentum longer especially when crushing through heavy bone. The lighter arrow may be faster or even carry a bit more kinetic energy but alot of it comes down to the momentum it maintains when it hits the deer. Congrats on the does! Im itching to try out these torches, they weigh 441gr :-)
They almost weigh the same gr i just couldnt believe it but thanx i took one doe gave the other to him since i took a buck a few weeks ago i got a ton of meat in the deep freeze lol time for deer jerky buck stop archery it says in your sig do you work there or just buy from there i know the owner to buck stop archery in brownstown il thats were all my bows come from i love his shop so helpfull and goes outta his way to make customers happy
I shoot the Mayhem Hunter 350's and love them. I have a couple dozen now. They sure do penetrate well and very tough.
I shoot the mayhems.... I don't understand why you would purposely aim for the shoulder. To much could go wrong for me to try that.
I know I'm going to get bashed for this but please punctuate your sentences so it wont be so painful to read and easier for us to understand.
I use mayhem Hunter 350's with g5 strikers. Since doing that all of my hits have been complete pass through. Keep an eye on ebay. I just picked up a dozen brand new mayhem Hunter 350's for 100 shipped. Not bad.
Lol no bashing here i understand.but we were purposely aiming for shoulder hits just for the testing we normaly dont aim for shoulder. I know alot can go wrong ive been bow hunting for 12 years now and ive seen and had my fare share of things going wrong. we were shooting the 350s but that video should be up tonight . Ill post the link here as soon as it is.
Nice thats what I planned to do but I seen these 12 were complete arrows with the blazer vanes I wanted so I snagged em.
I don't blame you...lol, I got Two Dozen of them now...enough to last for a while. The Mayhem Hunters are some tough arrows for sure.
