Here is a test I did in 2006 and it was done with traditional equipment. There was a question not long ago about what broadhead should I use, so I figured I would put this post up here since this is one of the heads I recommended at that time.
Hope you enjoy it

Blade retention:
As in all the tests before....the 100gr. stinger passed with flying colors , managing to continue cutting through the grid up until shot #15.
For those who do not already know.....the test is done by shooting the head into a Rhinehart target and then running through a grid of rubber bands until the heads edge finally gives way to the dulling of the target and therefore passes without cutting all bands of which it comes in contact with.
I consider 21 to be excellent ,15 to be very good and 7 poor although a one shot pass is still a pass.

Flight:
First Pic is of a typical group at 25yrds.
(a group of 30 arrows were shot and this was the norm group)
Next was the 30 yard shot:
Now this was more like it
I hate.....No wait!....
I H A T E !!!!!!! POOR FLIGHT!
Nothing will drive me nuts like trying to shoot a head that will not track or group or just basically do what it is that I ask it to do
It was nice to get back to an old faithful like the lighter weight Stingers of the past
Now 40 yards:
My own group was a bit off but none the less they were kill shots
Big Pass

Hope you enjoy it
