RE: Choosing a broadhead for elk
i' ve shot T-heads, muzzy' s and montec' s. For me i looked at the tip and to me they all have an equally strong tip that will resist folding over and bust through bone equally well. all have three blades for good bloodtrails. all three have great tolerances for very straight and accurate broadheads. But one can be resharpened and reused, one has no parts to break or come loose and one is cut to the tip. Several times with different people i have taken all three heads, and also some snuffers, all mounted on the same arrows, and pulled different materials(denim, rugs, etc.)down over the broadheads to see which penetrated the material the easiest. no contest, not even close, montec' s and snuffers went through like it was air, but not so with the others. one guy made me jam the broadhead into the ground a dozen times, made me leave the dirt on, and then it was about equal in pressure needed for a brand new T-head. i killed one deer and one young elk with montec' s last year, both pass thru' s. on the elk at 25 yds it went through the thinner part of the far side shoulder blade, flew an extra 12 yds and stuck in a tree - still in perfect shape. neither went far, bloodtrails were great. i loved T-heads, never a problem. I love muzzy' s, never a problem, i love montec' s, never a problem. But i' m gonna stay with the montec' s, i just think they have more advantages - even though i' ll probably never notice the actual difference on game animals. This is just how i decided.
