Based on a recent review, apparently the Crimson Talons have now been beefed up and are now a legit BH (lots of reports of fragile before).

Yes, the back of the blade is now inside the ferrule. in the old design only about the first 2/3's of the blade was inside the ferrule. Aslo the new blade has a bleeder connected to it and comes out inbetween the main blades. I saw the new design when I was attending Len's seminar. Mike Homan, Spintites Natl Tech Rep,was attending and I talked to him at length about these broadheads. He brought some to the seminar and I got to see them and take them apart. I was very impressed with the way they are put together. I should be receiving mine in the mail in the next few days and I'll get to shoot them and see how they do. I like the whole concept of the broadhead not losing the spinning energy once it enters the animal.

The new, beefed up version is called crimson talon XT's. Make sure that is the model ordered or they may send you the older version.

I have shot crossfire, sonics, talons and out of those three the only one I would shoot would be the crossfire the other two did not hold up. For the past two years we have been shooting Wac'ems and I love them. I'm now shooting there four blade "Exit" which is a killing machine.

I've been testing almost all the fixed blade and have settled on the razorcaps for my Co and Id elk hunts this coming fall where mechicals aren't permitted.

I don't know of any that fly "exactly" like a field point,but if u want a accurate,tough,dependable broadhead u can't go wrong with a muzzy!To shootany broadhead accuractly u must have enough flecthing to stablelize it.

Like they said, there's alot of good fixed broadheads out there. I'll stick with my Slick Tricks. Fly as close asI can get to my field tips. Both deer I hit with them went down within 25 yds. I used Wasp before that, and would go back to them in a minute. Best of luck to you.

I am currently switching broadheads this archery season also. I have shot muzzys for 10 years and am disgusted with their performance as far as the bloodtrails i have had lately.
As far as my opinion goes, muzzys are way overrated.
I helped my friend drag a buck out last year shot with a crimson talon, and it was an impressive bloodtrail. So I guess i will give-in to the hype and purchase them.
