My quest for the right mechanical Bh has ended because I couldn't find a single one that I didn't have a disagreement with.
I'm now beginningyet another quest for the right fixed BH. What I want is something that is at least 1 1/4" cutting diameter that does not have too much trouble flying with FP's. It has to be either a 3 or 4 blade. I'm currently shooting the standard Muzzy 3 blade but I don't like them because the blades always bend after each deer it passes through. I need a thicker than .020" blade, preferably at least .030".
I was looking at the Muzzy mx3 and mx4 but found some bad reviews on the flight quality of the mx4's. Can anyone attest to this?
I was also looking at the slick tricks and they claim to be field point accurate. A few guys have already backed this up. My reservation though, is the fact that there are bad reviews on the Muzzy mx4while the slick trick is also a 4 blade. It makes more sense to me that flight quality has to do withengineering rather than the BH being a 4 blade. However, it's still possible that a 4 blade simply by its nature (being a 4 blade) inherently has flight instabilities. Any thoughts on this?
Ultimately, what would you recommend and why?

I'm sure I'm not the first to tell you this but you should be able to get just about any fixed blade to fly with your FP's. It takes a little work but can be done. It is so much more rewarding once you get your FP's and BH's hitting the same spot.
I've always used the regular Muzzy 4-blade. Couple seasons ago I used the same BH on 2 deer and a turkey. Even then, it was still fine to shoot. I just made sure it was sharpened well.

I had a few minor problems with the Muzzy MX-4's with inconsistent flight from pack to pack. Never tried the MX-3s but you should ask Greg/Mo about them. He likes them and owns a boatload of the MX-3.

try the slick tricks
1: all steel
2: very sharp and very strong blades
3: they fly great
i just broke my first today, i hit multiple rocks, i hit my friends muzzy, and i got it stuck in wood ( and pulled it out ) atleast 5 times. just give them a try it will be the best thing you ever did.

Kyle and I agree on most things, I prefer the Montec
Why the Montec? Just curious as I am thinking of trying the G5 Strykers, NAP Hellrazors, Muzzy MX-3 along with my tried and true Rocky Mtn. Turbos(Blitz).
I'm sure if you look hard enough you'll be able to find something bad about every fixed head out there too.
Good luck.
How about putting names of some of the tried and true ones in a hat and picking one. You are trying to reinvent the wheel here. If you can't be happy with a muzzy that's been around forever and probably killed more deer than any head out there, what can you be happy with?
