While wandering the Outdoorsman's Days expo area here in Florence CO today, the shiny single bevel broadheads from IRON WILL caught my attention, and then the "history of bowhunting" t-shirt & related backstory is what really pulled me in. This shirt is easy to love as it simply and elegantly conveys the true story that from days of antiquity to current modernity... hunting has been an intrinsically human activity. Listen in to this quick conversation with Iron Will Outfitters founder and innovator, Bill Vanderheyden, then jump over to IronWillOutfitters.com to grab yourself one of these t-shirts. You'll love the shirt, and the message it carries will convey a very important pro-hunting message to people who see it. Lastly, you'll be supporting CRWM and SAVETHEHUNTCOLORADO, which is critically needed to win against threats of ballot-box biology!

Chris has been friends with Bill Vanderheyden of Iron Will Outfitters for some time now, so when Bill called him last week to chat about a segment he heard in the nearly 8-hour Kifarucast podcast marathon with Aron Snyder, it quickly became evident that the quick chat to catch up was going to be oh-so-much more than that, and that their discussion ought to be a podcast in and of itself. Two days later, they sat down, and talked about all SORTS of broadhead engineering topics that many of you might find interesting. Give it a listen, and let us know what you think!

In this week's episode of The Stickbow Chronicles, Blake is riding solo with Bill Vanderheyden (Lead Engineer/Owner) from Iron Will Outfitters. We dive deep into broadhead testing, and where emphasis should be placed from personal experiences, and from tests Bill has done himself in the lab. We also add that as a beginning bowhunter especially, broadhead may be far down the list of things to obsess over. It's fun to talk about, but don't stay awake at night over it until you've gotten to that point in your bowhunting journey. Diving this deeply into a rabbit hole with a fine tooth comb is far down the list of progression as a bowhunter, and I hope that message gets across here. Get your arrows flying decent, put something sharp on the end, and go hunting! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Interviews With The Hunting Masters - Big game Hunting podcast
Bowhunting Around the Country with Bill Vanderheyden Show Notes: Bill Vanderheyden from Iron Will joins me today. He's the owner, founder, and lead engineer for Iron Will Broadheads. Bill's been bow hunting for 50 years, a mechanical engineer for 30, and designing broadheads for 17. Bow hunting is his passion – he goes out and tests his products and is always asking how he can apply science to make the best models. His new single bevel is something I've been using, and it's been great. Bill's had some good hunts this year and went to Hawaii in June. A friend took him out on the Big Island, to hunt some sheep in the mountains. The terrain was mostly lava rocks and thick trees which made things tough, but he wound up getting a good shot on a ram. He also hunted areas off the coast in some hills where he spotted more rams, goats, and pigs. The older sheep were pretty wise and were onto him, but he shot a big wild hog in that spot. In mid-August, Bill went Caribou hunting in Alaska, going after northwest Arctic herd. They flew out 160 miles from the nearest village, where the true wilderness is. Last year, him and his crew got their bulls early and were pulled out. This year, he took his time so he could spend the whole ten days. Bill also drew a tag in Wyoming. When he went, conditions weren't great, it was crazy warm. On his seventh day out, he found out where a bunch of elk were and got right in on first light. He wasn't confident and the herd split, but then he worked his way back around them. He waited until the thermals were right and then a bull walked out about 30 yards in front, and he smoked it. Bill used a broadhead and got a double lung hit in the mid-body. In North Texas, Bill's friend has a ranch, and he spent some time elk hunting there. He also shot an 8-point in Indiana in November with his 4 brothers, sister-in-law, and son. They put down 5 bucks in 4 days! He also hunted in his hometown in Wisconsin and shot a nice heavy buck with good antler mass. Finally, he came back to Colorado for a mule deer tag. It's possible to have great success with bow hunting, but no matter how many times you do it, you never feel like an expert. Sometimes it feels impossible and other times it seems easy. You always get a reality check when you expect to fill all your tags and wind up getting humbled. Make sure to check out Bill's products on his website below. What's Inside: My experience using Bill's new single bevel. Hunting stories from Bill's trips to Hawaii and Alaska. Bill's elk hunt in Wyoming. Bill's trips shooting deer in North Texas, Indiana, and Colorado. How Bill tested some of his products on wild hogs. Mentioned in this episode: Phoenix Shooting Bags save 20% with code johnstallone Days In The Wild JohnStallone.me Iron Will Outfitters Short Description:. Bill “Iron Will” Vanderheyden is the founder of Iron Will Broadheads. He makes a great single bevel that I've been using. He's got a ton of stories from hunts this year from Alaska to Hawaii and everywhere in between. He's had some solid opportunities to test and develop his products and got some decent shots along the way.

One of the aims of a broadhead is to kill as quickly as possible. A big time, hardcore hunt calls for a high-quality broadhead, and Iron Will Outfitters knows exactly what you need. They are known for making high-quality broadheads for bow hunters who love the chase. Their passion for becoming better hunters drove them to engineer the ideal broadhead – a premium broadhead as reliable as science allows. Bill Vanderheyden, Co-Founder and Lean Engineer of Iron Will Outfitters, shares the excellence of their premium product as well as its sharpeners for touch-up. On top of that, he gives insights on maximizing an arrow’s penetration and FOC.
It all started with family for Bill Vanderheyden, the Co-Founder and Lead Engineer of Iron Will Broadheads. His grandfather and father had long been telling of the adventure to be found from within the Wisconsin woodland. Bill’s love of the outdoors paralleled his affinity for math and science, especially physics, which led him to become a mechanical engineer. He has earned a total of 50 patents throughout his career. All the while, his passion for the outdoors continued to grow, with ever more time spent hunting and exploring remote locales. Since moving to Colorado in 1999, Bill began supplementing his whitetail hunts with backcountry elk hunts. Finally, in 2004, after many years of hard work with no payoff, it all came together and he shot a nice bull. Dreadfully, the broadhead apparently hit the back edge of the shoulder blade and penetrated only a few inches and the bull was never recovered. This incident led to wanting more out of a broadhead. The pursuit began by analyzing the physics behind every aspect of the shot and reading scientific studies. Current broadhead offerings were researched, purchased, and thoroughly tested. Bill was looking for a broadhead that would achieve maximum penetration, pass through bone undamaged, maintain a razor sharp edge, and fly great at long distances. Every broadhead tested fell short in one or more of these areas. Frustrated with the offerings, he decided to engineer his own broadhead. Over 7 years later, numerous field tests, computer simulations, material tests, all resulted in a long-range shooting broadhead that maximizes penetration, durability, and lethality. A broadhead we all now know as Iron Will.

Iron Will Broadheads – It all started with family for Bill Vanderheyden, our Co-Founder and Lead Engineer.

Hey everyone! We sat down and talked with Bill Vanderheyden, the owner and engineer of Ironwill Outfitters Broadheads. We discuss what they're all about, from the rise of Ironwill to naming your broadhead's "The Grinch". Joe Rogan said they shoot good, and we say they do too!
If you have ever questioned what the best broadhead is for (insert game animal here) hunting, this podcast will answer that question. Bill is a Mechanical Engineer who, through his own experiences with misfortune in the field, decided to take the business end of his arrows and make it, well, a business! Through Rockwell hardness testing, to push force analysis and even audio recording data, his broadheads are completely picked apart to provide the best blade for your archery setup. I myself was impressed, and I hope you are as well! Find them at https://www.ironwilloutfitters.com/shop/

On this episode of Gritty Bowmen I sit down with Bill Vanderheyden of Iron Will Outfitters. Bill is a mechanical engineer by trade. When he finally got the opportunity to shoot a nice bull the broadhead he was using failed him. It just didn’t penetrate but a few inches. He resolved to make a better broadhead.
