Iron Will S100 review

The Iron Will S100 is the two-blade fixed cut-on-contact broadhead the elk-hunting community treats as a reference. Solid A-2 tool-steel single-piece ferrule, .062 in laminated stainless blades, 1.0 in cut, 100 gr. Made in Colorado. Field-serviceable, indestructible, and expensive.

Build and geometry

Ferrule is CNC-machined A-2 tool steel, hardened to Rockwell 60. Blades are laminated stainless, .062 in thick, edge-hardened. The head is one-piece front to back, no threaded joint between ferrule and blade seat. Bleeder blades are optional. 1.0 in cut for the base, 1.25 in with bleeders.

Flight and tuning

Iron Will publishes a straightness spec: the head is within .002 in of concentric to the alignment collar it ships with. Every one we shoot spin-tests true out of the pack. Flight is identical to a field point within 30 yd on a paper-tuned rig, and broadhead-tuning is a fine-adjust job at 40+ yd.

Best for

Best for: elk and big-game bowhunters wanting no-compromise penetration on a heavy-shaft weight-forward build.

Shortcomings

USD 100 for three heads. That is real money. The 1 in base cut is on the small end (bleeders bring it to 1.25 in). Single-bevel option is available but limited spine matches.
