RE: What broadheads are recommended
Hmmmm I bet you mean fps. (feet per second)
Anyway Muzzy is a tried and true broadhead that seems to fly very well I have a feeling that your problem is not the broadhead.
If you have a friend you can borrow a different broadhead from for a couple of test shots this would let you know if its the broadhead or your setup. Just make sure they are the same weight and spin test them to make sure they are true.
I' m sure there is someone here thats more qualified to help you, maybe someone else will chime in...

Though I' m back to shooting Wasp SST' s now, I' ve
hunted with Muzzy 4-blade 100 gr. in the past. That
broadhead only has a 1" cut and flew like darts out
of my bow. I' d make sure your bow is tuned and
you' ve got the correct arrow spine for your setup.
Stop by your local archery shop and see if someone
can take a look, maybe they can give see what' s up.
Before bow season, I always match certain broadheads
with certain arrows. I do this by numbering each BH
and arrow with a permanent marker - 1, 2, 3, etc.
When I find a BH/arrow combination that shoots
well, I put new blades in the BH and set that arrow
aside for hunting only. On average, out of
a dozen arrows I' ll only get 4-5 arrows/BH' s that
fly like I want them to. The remaining arrows I' ll
use for target practice.
You may get more responses if you post this on the
" Bowhunting" or " Technical" forums.
...by the way, welcome to the board.

Before you go blaming the broad head on poor flight.
Have you spin tested your arrows with the broad heads?
Are you sure the spine of the arrow is correct for your bow?
Is your bow tuned to perfection?

I have used thunderhead, muzzy, and wasp fixed blade broadheads since day 1. I will not use a mechanical broadhead because there is too much to go wrong. Anyway, I shot the Muzzy 4 blades and had a problem similar to yours. I switched to 3 blades and I' m not sure I will swith again. I recommend sticking to the three listed above. I have never had any problems with any of them. In fact I have a hunting buddy that has shot a thunderhead three blade into a brick and had it break the brick. Of course the broadhead got torn up but I still thought it was pretty impressive for a 100 grain broadhead to break through a brick.

I would first check and make sure your bow is turn good. Have a good dealer help you with this if you need to. Once your bow is tuned good I would try them again. If you are still having problems I would go back to the dealer and see if he could help you find some that will fly well for you. Muzzys are great heads but not all braodheads will shoot well out of all setups.

Your muzzys will fly great with the correct setup. Go to www.broadheadtests.com and click on the tunning section. It will give you most of the info you need to get good groups from fixed blade broadheads.
