Viking BH initial impression

[SV MAD (Henk)]

I got n Viking BH from G-force and decided that I would like to test-drive this broadhead.

Initial impressions are very good, blade is razor sharp and the Viking is very well constructed. What i like is that the blade is very think, which is an advange should you hit heavy bone. I also like the shape of the Viking as well as how it sits on my arrow

I then took out my my BH butt and nocked the arrow with the Viking (I tuned my bow a week ago with Slick tricks). This is the moment of truth.

BANG, right on the spot with my first arrow! Excellent! at 20m it proved to be flying with my fieldpoints.

Took the bow back to 40m and shot again just the 1 Viking shot
BANG, in the centre! Again, flying where my FP's are flying.

Penetration?

The Viking penetrated about 4 inches deeper than what I have observed with other BH's, which is extremely significant in the sense that it will most likely give you a pass through on an animal, which will make the animal bleed out quicker (2 holes).

I then shot the Viking another 10 times into the BH butt to test the sharpness of the blade. After 12 shots into the BH butt the blade was tested and found to be still razor sharp, sharp enought to take hair from my arm!

As far as I could hear, no noise was heard. I have 5inch feathers at the back and the only thing that I could hear was the feathers. If I were to compare to ST, I would say that they are the same, if not quieter, than ST's

Is this a good BH? Yes, in my opinion one of the best out there, an in my humble opinion, will outclass the German Kinetics.

They are a bit pricey, but in my opinion, they are worth it. This is a BH of exceptional quality that will give you plenty of years service before it is done. Thus, looking in this regard, every time you hunt with it, it becomes cheaper.

I think I have found the ultimate BH and this is what I will hunt with now.

Viking Yeah!



Edit:
You can contact G-Force for the Viking, you will not be disappointed
