In this review I tested the the Ozcut Elite Series 3 Blade. It’s a really cool head and I was eager to see how it performed.

But first, the box!

First of all, I’d be remiss if I didn’t show you how cool the box is for the Elite Series 3-blade broadhead… Ozcut really went all out!

Now, a closer look at the Ozcut Elite Series 3-Blade Broadheads

Below is a look at the Ozcut Elite Series 3 head. As you will see, the overall length of the Elite Series 3-blade is much shorter than most of its competitors.

Sharpening

Now, this being a 3 blade like this, it can easily be sharpened on any flat edge.

However, because they have this extra tanto tip, there’s a bit of a different angle. The bevel angle on the tip is still 60 degrees, but it’s at different angle than the long edges of the blades, so it doesn’t lay flat.

If you were to lay it flat to sharpen it, the tanto tip would not get sharpened. So, you have to angle the broadhead just a little bit extra in order to sharpen that.

---

---

---

You can sharpen it on any flat stone, or as I’ve noted in a recent test that I did of the Annihilator, you can also use the Stay Sharp Guide 344 sharpener, which changes the bevel from 60 degrees to 44 degrees (still very stout and strong, but much sharper.)

So, I’m going to sharpen this head up at the end of the review using the Stay Sharp Guide just see how sharp I can get it.

But overall, I love the design of this head, as well as the simplicity. It looked like it was going to be durable and fly well. So, I was eager to put it to the test.

The tests I performed on the Ozcut Elite Series 3-blade heads

I want to explain a bit about my tests on this head.

I do these tests to try to make them as relevant to hunting situations as possible, but I want to provide you with data points as well.

You can determine whether those data points are important to you or not, but I’m going to give you those to gauge or judge a broadhead’s effectiveness. Then, you can make the best broadhead selection for you and your hunting setup and your hunting situation.

---

---

---

Flight Test

I did a flight test where I shot two broadheads and a field point at 40 yards, just see relatively how well they group together and then I score them accordingly.

---

---

---

Penetration Testing

I did two penetration tests. In penetration test #1, I shot them through a half inch layer of MDF surrounded by two 1/3-inch layers of rubber foam mat and backed up by Clear Ballistics FBI Grade Gel.

In penetration test #2, I shot it into layered cardboard just to see straight up how many layers of cardboard the broadhead could penetrate through.

---

---

Sharpness Test

I did a sharpness test where I used the Edge-On-Up Sharpness Tester.

This tester has a small little clip that’s made out of aluminum with copolymer wire that’s engineered to be super consistent and to break in a certain way, rather than to stretch just to test edge sharpness.

This test measured the amount of grams of force it took to cut through that copolymer wire.

Edge Retention Test

Then I also did an edge retention test where after penetration test #1, I also did a sharpness test to see how much of the sharpness has been lost.

---

---

Durability Test (Steel Plate)

Then I did a durability test where I shot the fixed blade head through 22-gauge steel plate up to five times (When I test mechanicals, I only shoot through a half inch layer of MDF because they’re not quite as durable typically. And I shoot them five times through that layer of MDF just to see how well they hold up through that.)

Cinder Block Test

Finally, I shot the heads into a cinder block, just to see how a zero penetration exercise like this tests the overall structural integrity and durability of the head (plus, it’s just fun!)

---

---

---

Scoring

Once I finished all the tests, I took all of those scores and, based on how I think the broadhead performed, gave it a “Lusk Grade”, a score of 1 to 10 golden arrows, based on how effective that broadhead was at accomplishing what it set out to accomplish.

For all of these tests, I used my Bowtech SR6 27-inch draw, at 72 pounds. I lowered it to 65 pounds for the penetration test through cardboard, just because I didn’t want to shoot it all the way through and go into my wall! Then for most of the tests, I used the Bishop Archery FOC King Arrow. It’s super straight, flies extremely well, and is very durable. (For the harder impact tests, I’m used the Bishop Archery Firearm Dispatch Eliminator (FAD). It’s footed, so it’s extra durable.

Ozcut Elite Series 3 Test Results

So, now that I’ve explained a bit of the testing that I did, let’s get to the test results!

Flight Test Results

Below you can see the results of the flight test.

---

---

Sharpness Test

I tested the Ozcut Elite Series 3 on the Edge on Up Sharpness Tester…

---

---

Penetration Test #1 – Ballistic Gel Results

You can see the results of shooting the Ozcut Elite Series 3 into the ballistic gel, fronted by foam matting and 1/2″ MDF.

Edge Retention Test Results

After penetration test #1, I tested the sharpness of the Elite Series 3 on the Edge On Up Sharpness Tester. It took 450 grams of force to break the wire.

---

---

---

Penetration Test #2 – Layered Cardboard results

Here, you can see the results of shooting into the layered cardboard.

Durability Test Results

I shot the head through the steel plate five times. See below…

---

---

---

Re-Sharpening

OK. I took one of these dull heads and spent a little bit of time sharpening it with the Stay Sharp Guide 344 just to see how it would do. I didn’t spend much time on it, but let’s see how it did…

Cinder Block Test Results

This test is always one of my favorites. Look what happened below when I shot the Elite Series 3 into the cinder block…

Final thoughts on Ozcut Elite Series 3 Broadheads

So what do you think of the Ozcut Elite Series 3-blade?

I ahve to say, it performed really well. You can check out the score sheet and see the summary of all the different tests that I did below. But, this is a head really worth considering, especially if you are looking to maximize penetration.

For whitetails and so forth, I tend to prefer a head with a bit more cutting area than this with a 1-1/8-inch cutting diameter, though it will certainly get the job done.

It makes really nice holes so it will do it. I personally like something with a little bit wider cut. However, for bigger animals where you’re really going after deep penetration, this is something really worth considering.

Great job, Ozcut!

Talk about a unique broadhead.

Honestly, I never would have been interested in testing the OCD Blood Therapy broadheads, but when a viewer of my channel sent it to me, I thought, “Oh, this is going to be fun.”

The “OCD” in the name stands for “Ours Cuts Deeper.”

We will see about that.

This head as a wheel-shaped, circular design. I’ve tested countless broadheads and I’ve never seen anything like it.

So, I wanted to see… is it a gimmick or is it the real deal?

OCD Blood Therapy broadheads up close

Before I get to the test results, let’s take a look at the OCD up close.

---

---

---

---

---

Blade specs

The circular blade has a 1-inch cutting diameter. The leading blade has 9/16-inch cut. So, the total cut is 1-9/16 inches. So, not huge, but not bad either. It’s a little under 1.6 inches of total cut.

The ferrule of the OCD is made out of 7075 aluminum which, if you’re going to use aluminum, is a really good one to use. That’s stronger than some steels.

The blades are pretty impressive as well. They are made out of 420J2 stainless steel and they are really thick. The circular blade is 0.059 inch thick. It’s a double bevel. And that leading blade is 0.039 inch thick.

So, really good materials and a really interesting design.

As always, I performed this test using my Bowtech SR6 set at 72 pounds, on the comfort setting, with a 27-inch draw. I used Bishop FOC King Arrows, 460 grains. Let’s see how the Blood Therapy OCD performed!

Testing of the Blood Therapy OCD heads

I was eager to put it to the test and see how it goes. I tested the OCD for long distance flight, edge sharpness and retention, for penetration, and for durability.

Long-Range Flight

The OCD flew very well, as I was able to pop a balloon from 70 yards away.

Out-of-the-box sharpness test

In this test, I ran a carbon arrow shaft over the blade (up to five times) to see how many strokes of the arrow the blade could handle and still cut paper.

The Blood Therapy cut paper (barely) after five strokes of the arrow.

---

---

---

---

---

---

Penetration testing

I shot the OCD into ballistic gel that was fronted with a foam rubber mat and 1/2″ MDF.

The OCD penetrated 9-3/4 inches. Very good penetration for sure.

---

---

---

Durability testing (Steel plate test)

In this durability test, I shoot a broadhead into a 22-gauge steel plate to see how it holds up (will shoot up to five times.)

Now, the head did fantastic through three shots. But on the fourth shot, the pen that holds the rotating circular blade in place broke off. The leading blade, however, was in pristine condition. Amazing! It doesn’t even look like it has hit anything. And yet, it cut through the steel plate four times.

The rotating blade did really well also. It got a little bent out of shape, but it did relatively well and much better than I thought it would do. It made it through three times perfectly and then broke on the fourth time.

OCD Broadheads | Final Thoughts

OK. So what do you think of the OCD?

When I first heard about this, I thought it was 100% gimmick. Every time I had seen a picture of it, I said to myself, “Man, what a crazy, stupid design!”

I was wrong.

They call it OCD (Ours Cuts Deeper) for a reason, and it really did cut deeper!

This head penetrated extremely well in my tests. I was surprised.

And then, I didn’t think it was going to fly well. And, as you saw, it flew really well.

---

---

---

I didn’t think it was going to hold together through a steel plate, but it held together pretty well.

So, this is a head that’s really interesting. It’s beyond just being a novelty. There’s really some good stuff to it.

Now, the overall cut is relatively small. An inch one way, and 9/16 of an inch the other way, so it’s pretty small cut. That’s one of the reasons it flew so well and penetrated so deeply.

So, check out the score sheet below and see what you think of the Blood Therapy OCD broadheads!

I have to hand it to Innerloc Broadheads. The Carnage mechanical head definitely a cool and innovative-looking head.

I had been wanting to test these for awhile to see if the innovation translated to stellar performance.

So, let’s take a closer look at these heads.

As always, in this testing, I used my Bowtech SR6 set at 72 pounds, 27-inch draw, and a 460-grain Bishop FOC King Arrow.

Innerloc Carnage Broadheads Up Close

Now, the interesting thing about these heads is the way the blades stay together in the closed position. They don’t use an O-ring (i.e. the Afflictor Hybrids). They don’t use a retention clip. So, how do they keep the blades closed until deployment?

They use a sticker.

What?

That’s right. A sticker.

I have to say, it’s creative and different. Not only that, but they have a variety of stickers to choose from. They even have a program on their website where you can design and personalize your own sticker.

When it’s in the closed position, the Carnage has nothing exposed. That’s going to fly extremely well. I don’t test mechanical heads for flight because they all fly really well. But for this, I imagine it’s going to fly extremely well. I’d say that’s probably going to be its greatest super power is its flight, in addition to its cut size.

---

---

---

---

Now, its durability and its penetration, I wasn’t really sure about. So, I was eager to put this head to the test and see how it performs.

---

---

Edge Retention Testing

In the edge retention test I push paper down on the blades of the broadhead after every two strokes of the edge of an Easton Hexx Shaft. This tests how well the blade holds its edge.

Penetration testing

For the penetration test, I shout the Carnage head into ballistic gel that was fronted with a rubber mat and 1/2″ MDF board.

---

#ad

---

Cardboard penetration test

In the cardboard penetration test, I shot the Carnage into layered cardboard to see how many layers it could penetrate.

---

---

Ballistic gel test

Because the Carnage lost a blade, I never even got to where I tested it by shooting it into MDF (up to 5 times).

---

---

---

Final thoughts on the Innerloc Carnage

So, what do you think of the Innerloc Carnage?

I will say, I thought it was pretty gimmicky at first, but it definitely has some strengths, such as its super low profile in flight, which makes it forgiving, its large cut, and its easy-open rear deploying blades.

But, it also has some weaknesses.

I question how well it’s going to do on angled shots because it has such a wide flared tip without anything to really grab upon.

---

---

But, the biggest weakness is its durability. You saw what it did in the 1/2-inch of MDF when it lost a blade. I did the test again, just to be sure… this time it lost two blades. There’s just an inherent flaw in that pin that holds the blades together. It just seems to be breaking in some way.

So, I know a number of people have used these heads and hey, more power to you if you really like them.

But, I’ll tell you this, the Carnage is not going to make it in my quiver. But, check out the scores below and see what you think and see how it did in the areas that matter most to you.

Best of luck in your hunting adventures!
