I posted a thread about a year ago......guesstimating the percentage of BH's that never see the insides of an animal.
When you figure in bowhunter success rates, equipment hounds and tinkerers.......I wonder how many BH's actually see use for their intended purpose. I know guys whobuy every gadget, arrow and BH seemingly ever made and they don't kill deer. Hell I know guys who talk hunting all the time but I'm not sure they hunt....lol.
Anyways...how many (%-wise) BH's out of all the ones manufactured.....woud you think see the insides of an animal.
From day one I've used muzzy's, though of late I'm considering others more and more, though I've never heard anyone say a bad thing about amuzzy, have hunted, had opportunities, still haven't watched one do damnage.
My father uses NAP Razorbaks I believe they're called, and I don't see anyone mentioning them in broadhead topics etc......he's killed 3 deer with em, and even bad shots etc....all did serious damage/dead within 70yds if not 20yds.....the razorbaks are 100gr, kinda a 2 blade with 2 bleeders, and spin.....rotating technology.
I'm considering, my muzzys, NAP razorbaks, rage 2 blade, montec g5, since I can't decide, til I do, im staying with my muzzys.
Most of the Traditional bow hunters in my area shoot the Magnus 3 blade snuffer, either the 125 grain or 150 grain. Its a Cut On Contact BH for those who don't know what style it is. I was one of the 1st guys in our little bow hunting group to try it out and people seen the blood trails with all the blood and how short they were so allot of them jumped on the snuffer wagon. I have no idea really why its considered a Traditional head, it really makes no sense to me why this particular BH is shot by more Trad folks and not by as many compounder's. This next year I will be taking pics of the blood trails so I can prove my point to some people that its that good! I would put it up against any BH out there, just my 2 cents, carry on!! I forgot to add to that there cheap, 6 pack for 28.00 bucks.
You are probably right Jeff. I imagine some are destroyed in practice, some thrown aside for a different brand, some lost after missing their mark, etc. Oh the lonely broadhead.
