Read this it should help you get your Muzzys flying well. You will find other good info on the other pages as well.

RE: broadheads
stick with your muzzies. Just put a mark on your site for field tips and a mark for broadheads and you'll always have a referance point. Doing alittle adjustment once or twice a year is better than going to mechanicals IMO.Taz

RE: broadheads
It's never a problem with the broadheads. It's paying attention to detail--like broadhead alignment with the shaft. And that only works if the shafts are straight in the first place (carbon or alum makes no difference). And micro-tuning the bow/arrow combination. Most often it's all in the tuning. Just depends on how much time you want to spend and how much you want to learn.

RE: broadheads
I am a big fan of Rocky Mountain heads & the TI-100 flies perfect for me. If you tune your bow & use the right arrows you should be able to get your Muzzy's to fly good. I no longer worry about field tips & broadheads flying together. I just sight my bows in with broadheads & shoot broadheads year round. My hunting bow is for hunting & I want it to be exactly like it will be in the woods. I want to learn exactly how my arrows fly in all kinds of weather & wind conditions & field tips will not give you a true perspective on this aspect of arrow flight.

RE: broadheads
Im a huge fan of the Grim Reaper broadheads. They are mechanical but probably the best head i have ever shot. No rubberbands. They are spring operated. I shot a buck this year from a ground blind and it went through the shoulder knuckle, lungs, other shoulder knuckle, then about fourty yards and into a tree. Never seen a broadhead do that before and i'm only shooting about 260fps. You should give these a whirl. I was very impressed.
