I suspect you will see a major difference on a real animal. COC DO perform significantly better on lighter bows then any other type of head . . . although a good sharp chisel point should work fine as well.
I Have Seen The Awesome Penetration Potential Of A COC Head
I can't believe the difference a COC tip makes:mg: I sure am glad I bought some for my wife; I'll have to take all the standard tip broadheads out of her quiver before she goes hunting again
:icon_joker: I did not really think a COC tip would make such a difference, but now I'm sold.:wink::wink::wink::bs: That's got to be at least 1/16'' maybe 2/16'' more penetration.

Now for the details. :bored: Both arrows were shot from my wife's 40# bow. The target was 15 yards away. I used a New layered broadhead target and repeated the "test" :icon_joker:twice with identical results. The heads were the Slick Trick Razor Trick and the Standard 100.

No a layered broadhead target is not a deer and the penetration of the arrow is stopped by drag against the shaft, but it seems the COC tip should make at least a 1/2'' difference in penetration in the target. Wonder how much difference it would make on a deer?:set1_thinking: I'm not getting rid of the standard heads.:mmph::drama::biggrin1:

Have your wife shoot a Shuttle T and the ST, and see if there's a bigger difference. At 60 yards, I kept getting a 6" difference between the two.

COC outpenetrate chisel points period. Even Gary himself wouldn't argue that (that is a joke by the way). Is it significant enough to matter for deer? Probably not. But, on deer with a low poundage bow? Maybe?

Hey Bowfreak, nice signature.:wink: I have no heart, never have I guess.
You answered your own wonderment with that statement.
Gotta compare apples to apples.
Shoot both heads into a carcass of some type.

:couch2: That's blatant :fish2: Funny too :becky:
Yea, I could shoot a field tip and a Rocket Steelhead :becky: :wink:
But, it still wouldn't be a deer and I would dull the blades on a perfectly good Steelhead for nothing. :set1_pot:
Of course the Steelhead would penetrate further :set1_fishing: but it's a moot point.

I agree...That isn't a true COC broadhead. Try a Stinger or Zwickey and get back with me.
I try 3 or 4 new broadheads every year and you can be sure a true COC WILL make a difference.

If you make an assumption that a COC should add a 1/2" penetration over a similarly sized and number of blades for a ferrule-leading head how much would you assume that your standard slicktricks would outpenetrate a plain ol' field tip.
The field tip would give a good baseline to guage further assumptions on...
