I can deal with breaking a blade when I hit a bone because 3 out of 4 deer only one of them hit a bone so in those odds i would rather have a broadhead that is going to leave a nasty wound wherever i hit it instead of a conventional wound where im going to have to track the deer for ever.
The Muzzy is a quality head. It is not the broadhead causing long or short recoveries. The problem (or what you think is a problem) is more likely what you perceive to be proper shot placement; evidenced by your statement of hitting the backbone. Proper placement does not always guarantee a short recovery. Many of my heart-shot deer have run 150-200 yrds. It doesn't take long for a deer to run that distance on pure adrenaline. You do not want a head that looses blades for various reasons.
