I killed a mule deer buck with the v100 ironwills last fall. Arrow passed through the deer and stuck 10” in the sand on the other side. Broadhead was still sharp and good to go after a bit of cleaning. I wouldn’t hesitate to touch it up an bit and shoot again this year, more than I can say for any of the expandables or cheaper fixed blades I’ve shot. Expensive but worth it so far.
As for noise, I videoed shooting the head into a block target and there’s a bit of a hiss compared to a field point. If that’s an issue, the solids are supposed to be quieter, and they make them in 100gr now.
I carry 3 Ironwills and three deadmeats in my quiver. Ironwills get the call on all but the windiest days. Deadmeats are there as cheap follow ups, if needed.
