I believe I know what your basing this belief on; that a company with a reputation of producing quality products will always produce products of highest quality and performance. It that was true it would make choices much easier. However, it has been my experience that you cannot solely rely on the reputation of the company as an exclusive guide for choice.

Regarding broadheads, design (style) is paramount. Brand (manufacturer) is a supporting consideration. I have used broadheads made by popular companies that were not very good or no better than most, and I have found broadheads that were near generic but were very good heads.

I shot the Muzzy's for several seasons. No doubt they were a good head, and may still be. However, I never found them better in quality and performance than any broadhead on the market. That is why I dumped them when they (Muzzy), Wasp, and other leading broadhead manufacturers realized that an arrow is useless without a broadhead and began raising broadhead cost to a ridiculous level, and -in my opinion, "price fixing." In fact, it has always been my opinion that Wasp and Muzzy were the instigators of getting all broadhead manufacturers to raise their prices.

I have now used, as have several of my hunting partners, Cabella chisel-tipped replaceable blade broadheads for several years. We have had excellent performance and great results with the heads. In fact, I found the performance of the heads to be equal to Muzzy, but for a much lesser cost.

Seeing that broadheads prices are again on the rise, I have decided to change to a fixed head that is durable and can be resharpened. I am now changing to Magnus "Snuffers." Magnus is not as popular as other brands, but they have been around a long time (I used them in the past) and Magnus makes a good and durable head. For flight characteristics, I believe the low profile tri-blade is the best performer on the fixed (solid) blade category, and a wicked head when sharpened properly. In addition, "cut-on-contact" blades (heads) are still the best design (style) for best penetration as long they fly good and are durable.
