This is like asking guys why they drive ford or a chevy. However, I' ll put in my $.02 for what it' s worth. Just about and broadhead will get the job done if you put in the right spot, so it comes down many times to personal preference.

For the time being, I shoot a Thunderhead 125. I do not like mechanical broadheads period. One again that' s just my opinion. I guess I' m a bit old fashioned. I shot a muzzy 4 blade back before they came out with the 3 blade design. I found it to be a tough head indeed. I took a Russian boar and a deer with the same head and still have it. However, I had some problems with flight characteristics. Just couldn' t seem to get them tuned good enought to suit me.

A 3 blade head just gives me a better flight for the arrows (XX75 2314) that I shoot. I might try the muzzy 3 blade when I wear out the Thunderheads I have left. I have no doubt they are a good head. Confidence in what you are using is a big part of your attitude in the field.

That being said, I feel any good broadhead should have solid replaceable (preferably re-sharpenable) blades. Not those things that looked like razor blades were on the early Wasps. For me it doesn' t matter if they are a cut on contact as I shoot high enough poundage that I don' t think it matters. I also never shoot a broadhead right out of the box if I can help it. I like to give them my own little personal touch up first.

Once again, just MHO. Your mileage may vary
