The only tip I have ever shot is the standard muzzy tips. Never had much problem with them. Iam going to start shooting the 3 blade grapple for tournaments and open water shooting but haven'tused em yet. My buddy holdin the buff in dark has shot the grapple and shot it allday that day and I don't think he lost a fish all day but I don't think I did either except one that was really deep and had bad penetration and another one where I forgot to tighten the tip back down.Shootin buffs though I always aim for the back right behind the head so I'm shootin through meat not belly. What tips are you shooting that you are having problems? Tell me its shure shot cuz that is the norm. WCL
