Best Penatrating Broadhead?
 

What is the best penatrating broadhead on the market fixed or mechinal head??? Needs to be reliable. I shoot a 72# Alpha Max 28" with Muzzy Phantoms 125 grain Beman carbons and can't get a pass through on a mule deer which leads to bad blood trails and thats not a good thing in the back country. Even with good shot placement, can hear ribs breaking just won't pass through therefore less blood. If I can't pass through a Mule Deer It'll never pass through an Elk.

shuttle T's, killed 2 elk with them and they made a massive bloodtrail, neither bull went 50 yds, don't worry about a pass thru, the right blade will do the job if you do yours

I use 100 grain, 2-blade Magnus broadheads. Any 2-blade fixed broadhead will give you good penetration, as long as the blades are sharp. You won`t be disappointed.

check out a you tube clip called steel drum broadhead test this will help you decide which one might have the best penetration. hope this helps. It's a pretty cool video to watch any way you look at it.

If you aren't getting pass thru's with that set up, you are either extremely poorly tuned or hitting them in the wrong spot. A trad bow shoot thru em with 45 lb's.

I think there is something other than broadhead selection if you can't get a pass thru on a mulie with that setup. The muzzy phantoms are great heads. Just an opinion. You may try montecs if you like the phantoms.

my vote as well for the shuttle t

Any of the better trad 2 blade heads like Zwickey,Magnus,Grizzly will penetrate best.Always have always will.Most compound shooters shy away from them because you have to sharpen them yourself but it's not hard to learn how to do it well especially with some of the better sharpening tools available these days.

Not sure. Bow is paper tuned w/ field points also with the current broadheads I'm shooting. The shot was 2" behind the front shoulder and above the heart by about an inch only took out ribs no shoulder bones. Had a different bow last year that did the same thing with the Phantoms. Though it might have been the bow so up graded and same problem. In the past I used Satelitte Titans 100gr and pass through over 20 Whitetails. Only thing thats changed is the broadhead.....

Well, since you are shooting a 2009 alpha max I would say that a whole heck of a lot more has changed other than your satellite braodheads.

I would say that your bow is quite a bit out of tune. If you aren't getting pass thrus with a 72 pound alpha max and phantoms something else is very wrong.

I agree you should be getting pass thru's with that set up, one thing that has been over looked is your arrow? What weight is it? if it is super light you might not have enough mass.....and your kinetic energy is suffering. Back to broadheads, I love my NAP Hellrazors. They are super sharp, fly like darts, can be resharpened, and are tough as nails! Shot a deer a few years ago, 27 yds hard quarter away and hit him a little back. It entered the meat of back leg, through the guts, liver, 1 lung, and exited in front of the opposite shoulder and stuck in the ground 4". Hoyt Trykon 30" @ 70#'s beman ICS 340's. Bled like crazy!!! Next thing, USA, I do agree the right head once inside the rib cage will put the animal down, however as he said, if you don't get a pass thru your blood trail will probably suffer, so if you can put 2 holes in them instead of one....might as well!!!

muzzys are an excellent broadhead,if your not getting passthrus with a 2009 hoyt alphamax with any kind of muzzy broadhead,i would say its not the broadhead thats giving you the problem,id say your bow is just poorly tuned.i have never had a problem with a passthru shot on my deer and elk i have shot with my 62# matthews with 3 blade 100grain muzzys.

andd im only shootin 270 feet per second,always have clean passthrus,unlesss bad shot placement

I'd agree with those that question the bow not being tuned. Paper tuning is showing what's happening at that (usually short range). If tried at different distances it might show that further tuning is needed. Are the arrows hitting "straight in" on the target with BH's? You should be looking right at the end of the nock with the arrow neither left or right - also tried at different distances. At 72# you should be able to go thru both front legs and/or ribs and have to look for you arrow on the other side. (I see 1/2 or better of the arrow sticking out on what looks like well placed shots on some of the TV shows and wonder what they are shooting. I'm sure expandables accounts for some of it, but not all.} I've had complete pass thru's @ 52#.

Are saltillite

are satalite broadheads good broadsheads
