Guys,

I've been practicing hard for the past two weeks with my new tribute. Love the bow and my setup now is pretty solid. So, with 50 days until season opener here in Kentucky, it's time to tune in the broadheads. I've been searching for a fixed head that I have 100% confidence in and currently was comparing Muzzy 100gr four blade, Montec G5, Muzzy Phantoms and the NAP nitrons. Just the four I've selected. Anyhow, after spending three days comparing them at 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards, the clear winner is the nitron. Actually it's not even close. The g5 is an awesome looking head, but for my setup, kept shooting consistently right at 20 and 30 and severly low and right at 40+. The phantoms unfortunately weren't very accurate even at 20 yards. The Muzzy 4-blade was the second runner up, but out at 40+ began to fall off. Very accurate at 20, a definitely consistent kill at 30, but 40+ just not enough. The Nitron however were dead on with my field points out to 66 yards. I shot three consecutive heart shots at 60. At 20, 30, 40 and 50, I kept 2 inch groups. These babies are the real deal. I didn't have any slick tricks on hand, but have some on order, so I'll compare the two when they come in, but right now, if season was tomorrow, the Nitrons are on the arrows and I'm shooting with 100% confidence, even if I never take a shot greater than 40, I know that I can count on these heads.

And before you guys let me know that my bow might possible still need some tuning, I'll just say, I've done all I can and am looking for confidence in my broadheads at this point. Just wanted to share. Just noticed I wasn't in the review forum, I thought I was...so Mr. Mods, if you want to move it, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

I'm just curious, What kinda setup ya got on your Tribute? If ya don't mind sharing.

Poundage?
total arrow weight?
draw length?
speed?
Smooth or fast mods?
Limbs?

I'm seriously considering getting a Tribute this week.


Edit: Thanks for the info on the Nitrons. Sorry I left that out.

No problem. 70lbs, 27inch draw, 335 gr arrow, smooth mods, not sure about the limbs, standard Tribute and getting just at 296fps at last check. Believe the hype, the tribute is an awesome hunting bow. The only thing I could add is that you might have to ditch the factory string silencers and put some leeches or catwhiskers instead. Other than that, she's a beaut.

Good luck.

I agree...acurate...little head...big hole!

Sounds as though you are very happy with the Tribute. Did I read that right........335 grain arrow?

Yeah coug, that's what I'm calculating, short draw length=short arrow. I should actual weigh one. Love the tribute.
