Broadheads that fly like field points.
 

Hey guys i was looking to buy some new broadheads but im not really sure what i should go and pick up. I want something that flys like field points so i dont have to be messing with tuning my bow all the time. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I don't recommend that at all. Mechanicals and that is what I assume your asking for are not excuse to not keeping your bow tuned. Making a shortcut of a mechanical isn't utilizing the mechanicals to their potential and perhaps could even hamper penetration etc....

All broadheads, perhaps all will fly like field points. I'm currently getting field points, Muzzy's and RM Snypers to fly pefect. First and foremost, tune your bow or your going to have problems.

I used the muzzy phantom last year and they worked great, but I could not get them to fly like field points. This year I bought the grim reaper razortip and also the rocky mtn snyper. They both flew awesome. I did notice the G R makes a little noise while flying though. I don't know which I will use. Hopefully I can pop a doe with each one.

Well my bow is actually tuned in pretty good. Everything seems alright. Im hitting inside a 2" circle at 30 yards so not bad. But for some reason when i put on brodheads it doesnt fly the same.

What i mean is that i dont want to be moving my sights all the time because i shoot year round from field points to broadheads. If im practicing in my back yard i'll shoot my bh's but when i go shoot at basspro or something i use field points. So all the back and forth can get frustrating.

I always hear a lot about tuning the bow and thats an absolute must, but I seldom hear guys recommend tuning the arrows. The arrow with a broadhead attached should spin like a top with no wobble when placed on the palm of your hand and spun. Any wobble indicates a misaligned broadhead. Shooting a well tuned bow withmisaligned broadheads is like statring down a dragstrip with a top fuel dragster with the front wheels cocked to the side.

If they dont spin right, They can be realigned by gently heating where the insert isglued with thehot melt and turning the insert till the head is aligned properly

I did the same thing. I got my bow tuned in(papertuned and sighted in) I then bought the rage 2 blade 100 grain heads. I got them because of the same reason you did. I will be shooting state and national tournaments and I dont have the money to buy a target bow so I got somthing that flew like my points since my bow is tuned in perfectly for my target shooting. Nothing wrong with going with somthing that flies like your points just make sure that your bow is tuned like everyone else has been saying.

The rage 2 blade are the ones i went to go buy at basspro yesterday but they didnt have them. They are all out. Those are the ones i really want but i have to look into our public land regulations because im not sure if we can use expandables.

The most forgiving fixed heads that I have shot to date have been the Stingers. They have required the least amount of tweaking for my set-ups.

But the snyper/ rage 2 may not be a bad option either.

I just shot a doe with a Magnus Stinger last evening, and what an impressive sight watching the flight of that arrow! She was 25 yards, and that thing was a lazer beam! And man oh man, what a blood trail. I also have 2 arrows w/ Rocket Hammerheads attached, strictly for turkey.

The best I've found are Slick Trick 4 blades, 1" 100 gr. - 1 1/8" 125 gr.
Cut one heck of a hole, built very well and the best flying I've found in
22 years of bowhunting. I've killed deer and hogs with them and they are the best I've ever used. I videoed myselflast fall on a hog kill witha slick trick broadhead, dropped him!

RE: Broadheads that fly like field points.
 

Don't assume that any broadhead recommended here fly like "your" field tips. I've used RM Snypers and they fly like MY field tips, in fact, right now I have Muzzy's flying like my field tips too however out of a friend of mine's Darton Maverick, Snypers flew high right. Just because they fly for one guy, they may not for another. FOC changes when going to broadheads and if you don't practice with them, your asking for trouble.

My point is and will be, if you tune your bow and arrows to match, you'll get most if not all broadheads to fly with your field points. It comes down to how serious you are about your setup.

I can shoot my field points, A Muzzy fixed blade and a Expandable together. Why would I short cut that?

RE: Broadheads that fly like field points.
 

I have the muzzy 3-blade 100's and have no gripes about them. However i think Rob hit the nail on the head about bow tuning.

Very true Dave, these heads are great. I'm currently shooting Slick Tricks, but I've shot 4 different fixed heads out of both my compounds in the last week and they all have flown excellently. These heads include ST's, Singers, Magnus 2-blade, and Muzzy 3 blades.

Rob is referring to tuning the arrow rest. You may know of this but you can go to www.eastonarchery.com and click downloads. Open the tuning guide and follow the instructions for broadhead tuning. If you do it correctly they should fly the same. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Most quality, fixed blades will fly and impact with your field tips if you set up your bow.

RE: Broadheads that fly like field points.
 

I started out the season shooting expandables. After hearing some guys (whose opinions I respect) give me information.......I made the sitch back to a fixed blade broadhead (Muzzy 125gr). I'll admit that I wanted to shoot the expandables because of tuning (potential) issues. They flew EXACTLY like my field points. When I put the first Muzzy on.....and shot from 10 yds.......it hit a "hair" right. Fine. 20 yds.....just a touch more right. 30 yds....same. I mad a VERY MINOR horizontal adjustment in my sight.....and I'm back on target.

I think my bow must be in tune :)

Since I don't compete anymore I pretty much shoot my Broadheads all the time BUT did put a couple field tips on-all the arrows hit the same. Rocky Mountain 125gr 3 Blade Ironheads. My friend lost a deer with an expandible head (don't remember the name) & I gave him 3 of my Rockies (we were on an out of state Bowhunt 2 years ago)-they shot the same as his expandibles. That afternoon he killed his animal & has been using them ever since-he's from MAryland & has taken 2 Does already this year.
Good Luck. Sometimes a person gets poor flight because the ARROW shaft size is wrong-not always the head.

I had some wasp hammer sst's that I couldn't get to shoot worth a dime. So I ordered some sonic 100 grain broadheads because they are supposed to "fly like fieldpoints." In the mean time I went to the Pro shop and let them make some adjustments and line me out a little bit. Well the sonics shot great just like my fp. However, when I tried my wasps again they did too. Long story short. After getting my bow in tune both heads flew great. But if you want to take the easy way out, the sonics flew true even with my untuned bow.

I screwed stingers onto my arrows with blazer vanes and never touched my sights,swear to god,they fly better than field points,i am very impressed with both stingers and blazers.

RE: Broadheads that fly like field points.
 

Ive shot alot of different broadheads from fixed to mechanical. In my experiance i cant get any to fly exactly like field points, but some very close. I myself have found that grimm reapers fly the best for me. Not only do they fly real well they cut a nice hole. Im kindof copying someone who already wrote but the snypers are also a real good flying broad head. Goodluck this year.

RE: Broadheads that fly like field points.
 

buy montec g5s i shot them 2 hours ago, and i slipt my feild tip arrow with the broad head arrow from 40 yards, they shoot EXACTLY the same and are really good.

RE: Broadheads that fly like field points.
 

I tried Slick Tricks this year from reading the good posts about them. I can say that the fly just like my field points. I made no adjustments to my pins at all with these heads.
