fixed blade broadheads?
 

i curnelty shoot expandables(NAP scorpion xp pros). i am thinking about switching to fixed blade broadheadsthat shoot like field points. Does anyone know ofany that dont plain.The new HellRazor from NAP claims to do this anyone shot any yet?

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

From my understanding, the smaller the diameter of the head, the less likely of wind planing, which is what I am assuming you are referring to.
Slick tricks are the nasty, and are going to be my head of choice for Elk, Mulies, and Whitetails next season. They cut once gnasty hole.

I just shot some Wacem Triton heads and they fly absolutely straight. I have been using the magnus stingers which also fly well, but the wacems were even better. I couldn't believe it.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

I use Magnus stingers.. they fly great outta a well tuned bow.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

all i'm going to say is I love it how everybody's modeling their heads of the Montecs

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Almost any fb will fly great if you tune your bow. Everyone wants to take short cuts and just change heads. Plus an arrow from a well tuned bow well deliver more of its energy to its target.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Id recomend anything made by G5, the montecs fly great and NAP is trying everything they can to copy of it. I personaly shoot the STRIKERS, they fly awsome cut a nasty hole and have replacable blades.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

The only problem is the Montecs have a problem with the tips breaking and they will not replace them. Search for reviews on the montec and you will find them.

Magnus stands by their product and will replace anything with a lifetime warranty. I am not sure about wacems warranty.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Yep. They hit right w/ my field points at 70 yards.....Lazer beams I tell ya.

I will be trying the muzzy mx3 this year.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

MUZZY, I do not believe I will ever shoot anything else.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

I've never once had that problem, nor heard of anyone that has. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but it sure sounds to me like it's something that is extremely rare. My Montecs have worked flawlessly for me. I'd recommend them to anybody for any animal. It'll put 'em down.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

I have had problems with Muzzys in the past. Also the blades bend/break easily. I double lunged a deer and the blades got all bent up on a ribcage passthrough.

I now shoot Tightpoint broadheads. They fly like fieldpoints and are extremely durable.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Thunderhead 100 grn for me. Also Rocky premier series is outstanding as well

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

i shot the muzzy mx-4 last fall. they worked great.

I shot montecs last year and blew through many deer and had them stick in the ground and never had one break or get much more than a little nick in them. I wouldnt blame G5 a bit if they didnt replace a snapped broadhead. In my opinion if your snapping broadheads off, your either not hitting what your suppose to or your blowing through the targets and hitting something behind them and to me that is a sign of a good broadhead.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

I am totally sold on Slick Tricks. They are VERY strong and everybody that I know who has shot them out of a bow which was tuned well with field points, has had the sameEXACT performance out to 50 yards and even beyondwhen putting on a ST. If they don't perform to your satisfaction they will refund your $ with no questions asked. Due to that guarantee you can't lose by trying them.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Thanks alot guys for all the imputs! im def gonna have to try the G5 montecks!! ill let yah know how they work!

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

I have never had the problem with the G5's but while researching them I found a few people that did and they each said that they would not replace them. How they got damaged I will never know, but a company that is not willing to replace a few heads is not worth trying IMO.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

The biggest problem I have with the Montecs is you have to resharpen the blades yourself and they are not SUPER sharp to begin with. This leads to 2 potential problems IMO........practicing little if at all with heads out of fear of dulling them.......and/or subpar sharpness after a home touch up (They are not the easiest head to sharpen) Other then that they seem to be a very good BH.

Magnus Stingers fly better then any fixed blade head I have tried, they are sharper then any head I have tried, and they have replaceable blades. They leave some pretty big holes as well.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Some good points Atlas. Montec's also comes as pratice heads, these are just for pratice. Shoot them all you want:D

Sharpness is a concearn whichMontec Address with its new sharpingprocess. They are a lot better!!!

Magnus Stingers are great head, I just hope youdo not hit a rib bone;)

Any head will do, shoot what you like.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Germ,

My stinger went right thru a rib bone and split it down the center and nothing happened to it. I also put one thru my fence in the back yard and it split the fence in two and hit a concrete block and only dulled the tip. I have also put one thru the bottom of the spine of a deer. The bleeder blade did bust apart but that can be expected with that kind of a shot.

Atlasman,

I thought the same things about the stingers as you did. However I jsut tried the wacems which has a cut oncontact tip that has to be resharpened but it also comes with replaceable blades. The blades on these things were just as sharp as the stingers. Did I mention they were also even more accurate than my stingers (it could have just been me). I can shoot the stingers and Wacems from my bow and both will hit very close to each other.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Never really liked that idea..........I like to shoot the heads I am gonna hunt with.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Wheat have Atlas post a picture of his, it is intersting.

I agree it is a great head, but with anything there are sacrifies with any head. Montecs are tougher, stingers are sharper... etc etc

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

I have never had an issue with them either until last year when this happened on the opposite side rib.........still found the deer but I was surpised that the head was so mangled.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

This is for the thread starter

G5 is one of the few broadhead company's that test(spin test) there broadheads before the ship them. So they all fly the same(Practice or Hunting).
This goes for the Striker also, I may use them this season, becasue they are sharper than Montecs.Montecs are tougher, but the sharpness issue is there.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

No doubt............my brother put a perfect shot on a deer last year and no pass through. It took us awhile to find him because the blood was almost nil.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

Atlas,

Stop shooting those deer that do the ABS of steel workout 3 times a day. That is pretty crazy that a rib did that.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

If that wasn't bad enough he bolted and snapped my arrow in half on a tree.........I found the tipped half about 1/3 of the way into the trail.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

thanks everyone for thier replys to my questions.

RE: fixed blade broadheads?
 

I've got the same 6 heads I started last year with......and they show no wear. I know they've been in or through several deer.....the ground....and countless shots at various 3d and block targets.

I like the Muzzy's because I know I can practice.....shooting hundreds of shots......with the ACTUAL blades that the hunting-ready product utilizes. I then, simply, replace the blades (in a matter of a very few minutes).....and I'm ready to go. The chiseled head gives ME (whether it has any actual advantage, or not.....it certainly APPEARS more durable) the peace of mind that it'll pound through ANYTHING that animal has inside it. My first hit, last year, was low and marginal (RIGHT into the shoulder). Mybroadhead penetrated the shoulder.......went through the vitals.....and exited under the off-side shoulder. I was sold, right then.

My arrow also weighs in at 460gr+. Unti I lose a deer......I'll use these heads. I'll concur with what's also been said, though......there are SO MANY heads that will get the job done (likely ALL of them). Pick one you're confident in.
