Default muzzy's

I was thinking about buying some new muzzy broad heads and i was wondering what the major differences between the 3-blade and 4-blade (obviously besides cutting edges). Any advise/recommendations are appeciated!

both fly really well as long as the arrow is the correct spine and the bow is in tune as with ne other broadhead. So after that it is just a matter of preference. But have used the 3-blade Muzzy's for two years with no ill-effects other than dead deer!!!

The only problem I have with muzzy is the aluminum body is more prone to bending than a steel body. I had one bend last season unknowingly until I spin tested it this year. Steel will also bend sure, but not as easily.

Still shooting the muzzys.

I shot 4 bladed Muzzys from 1996 up until the end of last years season. They were 90 grain and I never had aproblem with arrow flight, impact or blood trail. I just switched to 100 grain 3 blades this Fall and will be shooting those out of my Guardian this entire season. From what I can tell, these heads fly just as good as my other 4 blade heads. I've been shooting Muzzy's since I started bow hunting in 1996 and I intend to keep using them. To each their own.
