On this episode of the Two Bucks Podcast, Brian talks with Trevor and Jake from Toulou Broadheads about designing an innovative new broadhead for both penetration and accuracy!
Jake and Trevor from Toulou Broadheads share their journey of starting the company and developing their unique fixed blade broadheads. They discuss the importance of accuracy and penetration in broadheads and how their design incorporates both. They also talk about the shape of their broadheads, the materials used, and the benefits of their twist design. The conversation touches on the significance of broadheads in hunting and the personal preferences hunters have when choosing them. In this part of the conversation, the hosts discuss the importance of the material and hardness of broadheads. They explain that stainless steel broadheads are softer and easier to sharpen, but the edge can roll. The ideal Rockwell hardness for broadheads is between 55 and 60. They also talk about the importance of resilience and not making the broadhead too hard, as it can shatter or cause chatter on the edges. They discuss the benefits of shooting mechanical broadheads for whitetails and the importance of momentum and energy in arrow penetration. They also touch on the twist in the broadhead design and its effect on penetration and wound channels.
In this conversation, Brian Krebs and the representatives from Toulou Broadhead Co discuss the importance of broadhead design and its impact on hunting success. They explore the benefits of single bevel fixed blade broadheads and the role of bleeder blades in improving blood trails. They also discuss the balance between penetration and laceration, as well as the challenges of sharpening broadheads with multiple components. The conversation highlights the need for efficient broadheads that transfer less energy to the animal, resulting in better blood trails and tastier meat.
