Default RE: Muzzy broadhead; what is the mystique?

Ben, here' s what I posted on a different thread.

I' ve shot and killed deer with about a half dozen broadheads over the years. The first couple years, I used anything I could get my hands on. Then I ended up switching to Muzzy 115 4 blade heads, and used them for quite a few years. The were excellent heads and I never had a problem with them. Then I deciced to give the Magnus 2 blade heads a try (mainly out of curiousity, from what I had read about them). Long story short...I' ve used the Magnus heads ever since, for the last 7-8 years (I think), and killed plenty with them. They are a tremendous head all around IMO. A couple things I like about them above the Muzzy...(not taking anything away from Muzzy...they are great heads)....They are about $10 less per 6, they can easily be resharpened (no blades to replace), and IMO they will out penetrate most any other head on the market. Both Muzzy' s and Magnus fly great out of a well tuned bow, and either would be a great choice IMO.

I almost forgot....one other head that is very good, and doesn' t get talked about much here is the thunderhead. I' ve used the 125' s and IMO they are excellent.

I read your other post on the rocket ultimate steel' s, so I' m assuming that' s what you' re talking about. Looking at those heads, and just going by my experience...I doubt you' ll gain a thing over the Muzzy' s. In fact, for my money if it were between the two, I' d bet the muzzy' s would perform better. You' ll have to let us know how they end up doing.

Now...if you really want a head that performs to all the standards you require...read my above quote...
