Default Very disappointed in Muzzy BH performance

Missed a buck last night at 17 yards. I am willing to accept the fact that nerves and/or lack of time to get COMPLETELY set and comfortable I am sure were a factor but I was pretty calm because I have seen this buck many times and it's almost expected by now so I don't think it was fever. I did have to draw and shoot faster then I would have liked so if anything I would say maybe I missed my anchor point if I had to guess.


Anyways, my arrow struck a small old dead rotten tree root the size of my pinky finger which made a loud THUD leading me to believe I hit the deer. When we pulled the arrow this morning the Muzzy head was a mess. Bent about 60 degrees and the tip was dulled like it hit a brick wall. I checked for a rock near the root and found nothing.

I have NEVER been pleased with the flight consistency of these heads and they will be not be on my arrows any more.

I will be getting new heads today.


Way too many flyers and if it can't handle a small rotten tree root then I don't even want to imagine what a shoulder bone would do to it.



I WAS shooting Muzzy 90 grain 4 blade in case anyone was wondering.

Tried everything to eliminate random flyers but never could.

My bow is pulling at 63lbs and slinging at 250fps


Just my experience. I am sure Muzzy's have performed well for a large number of you that will read this because I bought them based on reputation which as we all know is very good.

They will no longer be part of my hunting gear.
