Thread: Kayuga Pilot cut Gen 2 review

I’m pretty impressed with these broadheads. I’ve shot two animals, a pig and a spiker, with them now and the penetration has been impressive.
I’m using the 100gr with the wide bleeder and they weigh about 120gr.
These broadheads shoot with my fieldpoints out to 80yds. Didn’t try any further than that.
First shot on the pig was 38yds, I was above the pig and the arrow entered mid height behind the shoulder and exited low by opposite front leg. The arrow penetrated with so much force that it snapped the tip off the broadhead on the rocks.


The blood trail was insane and the pig only made it 30yds downhill.

Second shot was a red spiker at 75yds. Arrow entered high just below the spine and exited through the centre of the “Vital V” right beside where the humerus joins the shoulder blade. The blood trail was good, but not as good as the pig. The spiker made it 52m.


The arrow was a pass through, I found it snapped off behind the insert, never found the broadhead and insert. Either the arrow got full penetration and snapped off when hitting rocks behind the deer, or the arrow didn’t fully penetrate and it snapped off at the broadhead when the spiker ran off.

They aren’t the easiest broadhead to sharpen because of the different angles, but the performance definitely makes up for it. I’ve bought them from Apexhunting or straight from Kayuga, shipping isn’t too expensive.

Nice, I see Archery park here in nz has them too. They go up to whopping 175gr weight!

Buffalo material there!

I just bought a pack of kayuga trizots so here's hoping they are as accurate as what you picked up

Awesome broadheads for sure and very well priced.
I'm looking forward to sinking them into a few Reds .

Also I may be able to offer a good deal on some 100gr kayuga pilot cuts with standard bleeders as I brought a few extra packets.

I'd be keen if you still have them

Well since my last post I've shot 5 deer with the kayuga pilot cuts and can't complain really. A mixture of good and bad blood trails . But that's standard for bow shot deer . Good penatration and have smashed shoulders on 3 of the 5 not shoulder blades either the Humerus bones and ball joints .
Overall a few bent bleeder blades which can be replaced . And a few dents in the main blades but nothing that can't be fixed .
