We started with six, or ten, dudes here. None of us was doing Youtube vids in our free time. We did Ok....
Remember, it is levity I am using. There are other tools at my disposal if I thought he needed ridden, in seriousness.
I thought the test was cool, I played along too. I am not sure a 50lb compound will get the FPS needed to make things interesting though.

No, especially with it only being a Level IIA vest I don't think it'll be stopped. As was noted most vests especially on the lower end protection wise are not stab rated.
I would say no way. Not without a hard trauma plate. I once shot a crossbow bolt through a gigantic terra-cotta pot filled with packed dirt and woody roots. It went clean through the pot (at least 24") and buried itself so deeply into the ground that we decided not to even dig for it. Crossbow bolts are serious. Time to watch the video now I guess.

Without watching the video first, I believe it will penetrate soft body armor. Most broadheads have a stout chisel point which means a lot of psi on a very small area...
