I was just looking around on cabelas and amazon for some new broadheads and I came across these,Red Toxic Raging Broadheads Rotation Steel Hunting, Just wondering if anyone had any experience with them and if you liked them or not and if they were accurate at normal range (20-40 yd). Thanks

I looked at those before, but never bought. I believe they are chinese knock-offs the real Toxic broadheads. If you get em, let me know how they shoot

Im a broadhead collector with more than 500 dif heads in my arsenal. I do a lot of broadhead testing. Im party to assisting many bowhunters in their gear selection and setup. I run a broadhead only novelty shoot at the nations oldest and largest broadhead shoot. I have those heads. I watched as one of my shooters used the toxic you mention on a foam target (when he could hit it from 20 yards). Of all the heads, the toxic represented the least amount of penetration.

As to accuracy, that is on you and your ability to broadhead tune your bow. Given enough time and effort and properly spined arrow there is no reason they can’t be tuned to fly with consistency (that’s the best you can hope for since accuracy rests on your shoulders)

I find them near impossible to hone or re-sharpen so they are a one-and-done (disposable) broadhead. If you are one of the younger disposable bowhunters that may not be important to you and just by new blades. You will need a set to practice with and another set of blades to hunt with so you need to buy a couple packs.

There are over 3000 diff and unique broadheads recognized by the American Broadhead Collectors Club. Ive tried and I cant come up with an answer to what problem this head solved or what solution they offer with their blade design and configuration that other heads don’t/can’t do.

If “cool looking” is of value to you or a driving reason to have them in your quiver, then buy some, tune for them and hunt with them but by all means, accuracy is the primary goal. If they consistently hit where you aim, you are half way there. If you always get a pass through and outstanding blood trails with them, you will have a pretty strong argument for using them.

The “Plug cutter” broadhead is nothing new and all suffer from hair, stringy tissue, fat, etc slowing and stopping penetration. Again, what problem does this design solve that needed solving (aside from looking neat?)

I agree that these heads will require a lot of KE in order to drive through a deer. Especially is ribs on both sides are hit. On a shoulder shot I think you could guarantee a no pass through. Unless your shooting some kind of monster draw weight bow.

I may have spoken too soon above. MAYBE because there is no bone involved. But here is a pretty good video on them (if you want to kill a ham!)

So I think I'm going to choose some different broadheads, what would you guys recommend? im looking at some Muzzy broadheads, specifically the mx3 and the mx4 (links at the end), anyone have experience with these?

thanks again

My brother in Pa got some Toxics and says they are great. He has killed several deer with them using both vertical bows and crossbows. Archery is his only style of hunting. Does not penetrate as good as standard broadheads but he says it makes a huge hole.

strikers, montecs, muzzy's, wac'ems, slick-tricks, grim reapers, wasps ect... are all fine examples of broadheads that will work.
if the KE is there, the shot is placed well and the chosen broadhead is practiced and matched with a good arrow from a tuned bow they will all take game.
nothing against mechanical broadheads either i just don't have the experience with them to be advising for or against.

Those should work just fine. Get some, buy a broadhead target and satisfy your own questions by shooting them. How they fly and the ability to tune for them is key. Its job one. Nothing else matters until they hit where you aim and do so with consistency.

From my experience while pretty much any decent broadhead can be shot with accuracy standard muzzy heads are one of the more difficult to tune. If I were going to shoot Muzzy I'd try the trocar(and I think I will try them)

I wouldn't touch the toxics. Silly design IMO.
