Default RE: Guess I will carry 3 different broadheads

Copper31,
For myself I prefer a non cut on contact when hunting a ground blind, my blades tip has graced the inside of a blind more than once and if too much pressure is applied it can open up a new hole in the ground blind lickity split.
I carry the sidewinders in case any medium sized to small pigs decide to show up at dark. They open up a sweet big hole which helps in a shorter recovery of the smaller beast.

I like the phantom in case any really BIG PIGS come to play, if it will go 150# plus I want a big ole mean head to help me out.

Muzzy 3's, slick tricks & stingers, I've had great luck with the slick tricks & muzzies and the stingers seem to fly the best for me & I own them.

If they all shoot out to the distance I plan to hunt, why not?

Oddly enough my muzzy 3's & stingers grouped the best (nice & tight) for me yesterday. The others were moved from arrow to arrow until each was well within a 1.5" from point of aimat 30 yards (usaually 1").
I use a small square of masking tape on a black face and measure the distance from the center of the square to the center of the arrow.

The results are written on the fletching and the head is mated with that arrow.

I own them, why not use them?
We have a fairly decent pig population on my West Texas lease so their is a good chance they could all get used before seasons end.

BTW, 30 yards is all the range I have for now. I'll stretch it out to 40 before season arrives and cull further depending on those results.
