Choice of Broadheads........
 

Im replacing my old broadheads that are kinda old(10years), which are the new and great broadheads out there,i seen retractables(i've heard the lose alot of penetration power) or is there and other really relayable one out there?

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Slick Tricks!!!!!!!! There nothing better that I've seen for my set up! They fly just like my Field tips!!!! It took me a few years to switch and now I'm not looking back!

I shoot Grim Reapers out of my Alegance and havent missed or lost anything i shoot at.Im going to continue to keep my shots under 45 yds,and not get cocky and spiol my record.I got a red fox at 40 this year!And those blood trails are massive! most deer pile up inside of 30 yds.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

I'm gunna try rage because they are #1 cut on impact,#2 rear deploying,#3 large cutting diameter. It seems that in almost all tests,rear deploying blades are (marginally-lots) better penetrating than "fold back" expandables. Just reading tests yall,don't beat me up yet. That said,I have been using rocket aeroheads hammerhead 3L since the supply of anderson 245 mags dried up with excellent results. I'm kinda an equipment geek so I gotta try everything out there. That way I can formulate a educated opinion based on first hand experience.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

might want to try spitfires I love them I havent lost a deer yet since using them and they fly awsome

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

One word.. Muzzy. Thats all I've used and I've seen what they can do. They fly great and hit extremely hard. You'll get a large variety of answers I'm sure.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

I like Snypers. They shave hair out the package!!!

I have had good luck with muzzys. I also like rocket steel heads had good luck with them too. Both are rock solid.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Muzzys.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Another vote for Muzzys. I shoot three blade 100 grains...

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Ditto on Slick Tricks

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Muzzy's or Thunderheads.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

I am sold on Crimson Talon's now... They are absolutely devastating... The only problem is they don't last very long. Usually 1 broadhead per deer.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

The only thing I've ever used is Thunderhead 125. I'm sureall the other brands are great, I've just never tried them.

Don't fix it if it ain'tbroke!

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Slick Tricks:D

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Another vote for the slick trick. you won't find a more durable head on the market. Huge hole, great accuracy, and the new blades are scary sharp. Also, they are pretty cheap compared to other heads.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

all mentioned are great, but give G5 Strikers a try. Fly true and are very sharp. Good luck there's so many to choose from it will break you up just looking.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

id deffinetly look into g5's either the montec or the striker, both shoot great and penetrate deep.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

G5 Montecs are great but I tried Slick Tricks this fall and they are nothing but awesome. Awesome flight, very stout, and super deadly. I shot my buck this year and it looked like a bullet blew thru him.

Broadhead choice is really just matter of personal choice. They will all do the trick if you put them in the right spot. I have like the way the Tricks shoot.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Slick Tricks;)

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Have to go with the Muzzy's. Tried the Slick Trick's and found them to be adequate but no better than the Muzzy 100 gr I've used for years. Slick trick's were no sharper and the increased angle of the blades, IMO, reduced the penetration.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Slick Tricks.

Made a bad shot on my doe this year (high shoulder) and it penetrated through the shoulder bone and still punctured the lung. The deer spun around like it was hit with a lead baseball. Flew same as my field points.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

This will always be a on going debate but I like expandables and have never lost any game because of the broadhead choice....I have been using the Grim Reaper 100gr. expandables for going on 4 years and have had nothing but great experiences w/ them....

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Yuck to mechanicals. Nothing bleeds like cut on contact broadheads. Go with a WASP and you won't be sorry.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Ditto. I use the 2-blade Rage. Here's what it did to my doe.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Stalking bear, There are FAR better broadheads than the Rage. They are extremely fragile (one shot broadheads). They are very difficult to assemble with a minimum of9 assembly parts per broadhead (3 blade). It is about impossible to get all 8 parts balanced for accurate shooting.I know they have some great advertising and gimmicks, but they are just that. When they work, they work great......but.

Slick Tricks have worked the best for me. I have killed a truckload of deer with them and a bunch of elk as well. Great broadheads, other than the poor edge on them, which is an easy fix.

I will have my own line of broadheads on the market in the next couple of weeks that addressthe weeknesses of many current broadheads on the market. How does a titanium body with four fixed blades thatcut a1.5" hole through critters sound? Oh, and they also have the accuracy offield points ;) Flinch

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Another vote for Slick Tricks but I am interested in what your new head will do . Keep us posted

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

All of the broadheads on the market work and can bring down deer. To say the Rager are "extremely fragile" is just false. I have shot he doe and a coyote with the same rage broadhead and arrow, both complete pass-thru's. (2 blade Rage)

Are the blades on that broadhead dull now, you betcha. Should they be, in my opinion, yes. Not only have they passed thru 2 animals but it has also stuck in the ground twice.

Are the blades bent, absolutely not. They blades slide right back into position.

I can't make an arguement for assembly because I have not taken the 2 blade apart, didn't need to. Was able to clean it after both kills with warm soapy water, an old toothbrush and a toothpick to dig out flesh and hair. Took less than minutes.

As soon as I order new blades, I'll post about assembly and disassembly.

There is nothing about the Rage broadheads that are any more gimmicky than your "titanium body with four fixed blades that cut a 1.5" hole through critters" creation. I would put the 2 blade rage (which as a full 2" cut) up against them any day.

Now I will also say this, are the Rage broadheads the best on the market? Who is to say? That's like saying Hoyt, or Mathews, or PSE, etc makes the best bow on he market. Everyone has their preferences and conforts.

I happen to like huge gaping holes cut by broadheads and the Rage does that. So for me, it is the perfect broadhead and is the best for ME.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Easy there primitive weapon. I Didn't mean to get your hackles up.I am glad they worked for you. Often times they break apart if you hit the shoulder bones or any other serious bone in larger animals.

If you look at my previous post, I was referring to the 3 blad Rage broadheads, not the two blade. I have handled thousands of the three blade Rage broadheadsandthe assembly is a nightmare. AND they are extremely fragile. There is nothing left for strength in the body when the machining is finished. The two blades area MUCH better design. They should have stayed with it, in my opinion. That is all I am saying and I am sorry I offended you. Flinch

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

I'm not offended, at all. What line of work are you in where you can handle "thousands" of Rage broadheads (or any other type for that matter)?

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Ive used Rocket Steelheads, Muzzys, and Spitfires, and they all work well if you put em where you aim. Spitfires open up a devastating hole and they fly like fieldpoints. Next year I guess Ill have to try Slick Tricks since most people seem to like em

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

Muzzy 3 blade , I switched to Montec a few years ago but switch back to good ol muzzys cause there 1/2 the price and just as good. Mechanicals are for the birds- like turkeys!

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

I like montecs. I've used alot of bh's and most perform good and will penetrate good enough. ( I've only had one that was'nt a complete pass through).
All of the bh's I have bought before needed replacable blades or if they didn't they were kinda difficult to resharpen. Montecs are very easy to resharpen with a flat stone. They seem to be very durable, which is something not always taken into consideration. I have used the same 3 bh's on 5 deer over 2 season's and all pass through's. I think too many poeple get caught up in what bh looks whicked or the latest thing. Simple design that works and works again without having to buy new blades. And seem to fly very well.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

I am in the machining and engineering business and starting an archery products company. I get to see and try a lot of broadheads on the market first hand. We all use the same few machinists and blade makers in the industry, so we run into each other's products a lot. There is nothing like dipping your hands into a bin of several thousand freshly machined broadheads.Being an avid archer, there is just something sexy about precise machined parts. Flinch

Slick Trick 125gr Magnum!!

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

I have shot dozens of broadheads through the years, allthat I have usedare effective at punching holes thru deer.

I currently use Muzzy 4-blade, 125 grain on the arrows for my compound. 100 grain Rocket SteelHeads on my crossbow shafts. Yet to have either fail.

RE: Choice of Broadheads........
 

For years I shot Muzzy 3 blade 100 gr. I just switched this year to G5 Montecs. I really like them. They are unmatched in strength because of there 1 piece construction, they shoot well,andare really easy to clean. Expandables usually have great flight characteristics and good penetration as long as you don't whack that shoulder. After reading the posts on this thread I'm gonna try the Slick Tricks.
