Default RE: Most accurate broadhead?

My experience has been Magnus Stingers are the most accurate BH I have ever shot. I shoot them in my yard out to 50 yards with no flight problems...........I have always tuned for laser beam arrow flight. I don't like wobble of any kind. The Stingers fly like darts no matter how far I shoot them. Other heads tend to get a little wobble in them at farther distances..........granted this is being VERY picky and truthfully from 25 yards and under they all would smoke a deer. I shoot broadheads almost exclusively and the heads I have shot include Muzzy(3 and 4 blade), Magnus (Stinger(2 and 4 blade), Buzzcutt, Snuffer SS), Crimson Crocs, WASP Jak-hammer, Montec G5, and SteelForce. Here is my experience with all of them.

Muzzy........4 blade heads were maybe the worst heads I have ever shot. The 3 blade heads were OK, definately huntable but the accuracy is just not consistently great.......it is good, but MUCH better options exist IMO.

Magnus........Stingers are near flawless IMO. Fly great, scarey sharp, and leave nasty holes with lots of blood and short trails. I did have one break on a deer's opposite side rib this year which was disappointing (found the deer no problem). Buzzcutts are the same head only serrated.......just as vicious but a little harder to sharpen at home (not an issue IMO because I just buy new blades every year) Snuffer SS are not really for me. I don';t think they fly as well as the stingers and I don't like having to resharpen blades.

Crimson Crocs.........Flew really nice and are just plain COOL looking. However, they are as strong as a pop can. I saw 2 deer shot with them. 1 shoulder hit and the head was destroyed beyond recognition with penetration barely past the head. The other was smoked, going about 40 yards. It's really hard to say on this head because all I saw were the opposite extremes but I wouldn't trust them.

WASP Jak Hammer........real nice mechanical that performed well for me but the deer I killed with them I didn't get a pass through and touched no bone......right through the center of the heart and I had a tough time finding him. My bow at that time was not pushing 'em out like my Patriot does now so I have little doubt this head would perform well if your bow is powerful enough. I just don't ever want to suffer through a track job like that again. Head works very well though IMO.

Montec G5.........Flys really well. My brother shoots them and I shot his a bunch of times last year. Very good head that he killed a couple deer with and really never had a problem of any kind with them. I don't like resharpening blades but if I did these heads would be one of the ones I chose.

SteelForce heads are nearly flawless as well. My friend shoots at about 218fps and he blows these heads through deer like a hot knife through butter. They are VERY sharp and fly well.......they also do a tremendous amount of damage (we butcher our own). My brother spined a deer with them and the head wasn't even bent. They are a solid head for sure. I just wish they came with replacement blades. For a low KE setup I would think these may be the best head available.

Mostly ANY head will do the job if you make a good shot.........blaming a broadhead when YOU hit the shoulder is dumb. Don't hit the shoulder. Having said that everyone knows you are gonna clip a bone sooner or later so it is nice to feel like if you do your head will not implode. Two more broadheads I will try this year are the slick tricks and Shuttle T locks. No real way to know unless you shoot them.
