Well folks I went and did it again and bough some more muzzies, some of you may remember some of the post from lastyear when i stated i was having so many problems with Thunderheads and switched to the small 4 blade muzzy 100gr. Well this year im doing something a bit different. I bought a pack of the NEW Muzzy Phantoms 100 gr? Has anyone shot these yet this year? I know they are very very new cause our local proshop just got them in earlier this week. Heres a link to the site http://muzzy.com/phantom.htmThese heads also come with a very fun interactive/informational dvd/cd and a cool Muzzy decal. I put them on my easton 2314's lastnight but do to a tornado not far from me I couldnt shoot. Hopefully the skies and storms today will celar so i can see how they fly. These things look totally deadly. Also bought the the new MAD Calls Buck Growl. Im gonna do some early season expirements with it come opening day If i see any nice bucks.

I haven't tried them but they look deadly.

Honestly, I didn't know they made a 22o grain broadhead.

Mine are the 100/80 grain heads, 100 grains with the bleeder balde and 80 grains w/out the bleeder balde, i like the fact that i can reove the bleeder balde. Muzzy doesnt always let buyers know when they are comming out with new items, heck they dont really advertise either, but in my own experience wiht the comapny I can tell you I have not found a better company to buy heads from. That little chissle tip you see on most broadheads, well Muzzy was the first company to make that. Other companies followed Muzzy's prime workmanship.

I got them last year. you will need to check tuning, I had to go to a 5 inch feather to get right with my field tips. don't shoot a squirrel with one, there isn't much left.

wis_bow_huntr · 08-24-2006, 10:23 AM

Im already shooting 5 inch feathers.

Wis

I agree totally. I haven't found a reason NOT to use their product.

JOE PA · 08-24-2006, 04:21 PM

As far as how they shoot, you do need to be on with your tuning. I found that they were twice as far off as Slick Tricks when my bow was a little off in tune, with regular 4 blade Muzzys being about in the middle between the Phantoms and Tricks. Once the bow was tuned, they shot and grouped well with Blazers out to 40 yards. I have yet to shoot an animal with them, but they are scary sharp, and ought to deal a devastating wound.

i've got some original phantoms. same head. lordy i hope you know how to tune a bow. if you don't, you're out of luck and no amt of reading will help you i don't think.

JOE PA · 08-24-2006, 08:25 PM

With 5" feathers (fletched helical?), he should have a shot, giblet.

As giblet mentioned, these heads were originally made by an independent company, and were bought out by Muzzy, so they are not actually a new product.

Well it looks as if the storms have finally moved out of Wi and I may get a chance to shoot them bad boys tonight. I have yet to find a broad head that doesnt shoot well with my setup, I have shot everything from 3.00 broad heads to 65.00 broadheads and have yet to have to adjust anything with my current setup.
