who makes the best flying fixed blade broadheads

RE: broadheads
 

there is trade offs to good flying fixed blade heads.....1. target only and 2. hunting

RE: broadheads
 

Nobody if your bow isn't tuned properly......

RE: broadheads
 

And that's THE TRUTH...

Most name brand broadheads today fly very well...You guys wouldn't believe how much better broadheads are designed today when compare to what we were shooting back in the 60s and 70s...

Not only do they fly better, they are much tougher...I remember the first time I saw a Wasp and a Satellite, the blades were actually the thickness of the old thin razer blades, the old 2 blade Bear heads were tough and heavy...I'm so old I still sharpen my broadheads, this has come a long ways as well...Broadheads are actually sharp when you buy them, it hasn't always been that way...

I still remember going through arrows and numbering them and using the ones that flew best so they were the ones I took hunting...Bow tuneup was fairly easy, you set the nocking point, because you were using a recurve....:D

RE: broadheads
 

Beat me to it!

If your bow is tuned properly, most newer broadheads will fly pretty true. I am using slick tricks, which are flying out of my bow with perfection. I would have to say that my bow is shooting more consistanly and more acurately than ever before (mostly due to this site).

RE: broadheads
 

i can hit really good with field points. my bow needs to be tuned?

RE: broadheads
 

G5 strikers!

RE: broadheads
 

Yup - IMO it needs to be tuned. You might be lucky and it happens to already be tuned. Expandables tend to often shoot pretty well out of a bow that is not tuned, but not the fixed broadheads. Invest some time in the tuning process and you should be able to get field points and fixed BH's to shoot the same. Easton's website has a whole section on tuning.

On the flip side, our local archery shop doesn't believe in tuning. Their recommendation is to practice with field points in the off season; and then sight in with broadheads a few weeks before the season - and don't shoot field points again until the hunting season is over. They set your bow up perfectly when it leaves their shop, and you had better not mess with those perfect settings.

I couldn't leave those settings alone. And after a couple hours of moving the rest and nocking point as the paper tear indicated, was able to get all types of fixed BH's hitting the same as the field points. I don't think it groups any better than before, but the arrows are flying straight and I can just leave the sights alone.

RE: broadheads
 

Wow, sounds like the archery centre here... They don't promote paper tuning and advocate the same thing with field tips and broadheads.. Interesting..

RE: broadheads
 

lots of shops that i talk with...good friends with owners...they are also pro shooters(last 15 years)....they say paper tuning is good for up and down tuning but as far as left and rights go....paper tuning is not the best method

RE: broadheads
 

I got my bow tuned and found that G5 Montecs were the most accurate, and they are also very tough.

RE: broadheads
 

with a tuned bow (tune it regardless of fixed or mech) id have to say that the slick tricks, rocket ultimate steel, and sonic heads fly the best. i got a free sonic and it flew awsome out to 50yrds but it bent real easy at the back of the blades so i dont like its durability. the other two ive seen nothing but good things come of. personally i love mechanicals.

RE: broadheads
 

Magnus stingers 4 blades fly exactly like my field points. Only ones I've found so far that group with my field points.

RE: broadheads
 

lots of nice ones out there. Too tell you the truth any strong bh will kill a deer if placed right on the deer.

RE: broadheads
 

but I really like the Crimson Talon XT its what im useing this year check them out

RE: broadheads
 

personally i like slick tricks. mean blade and fly just like a field point

RE: broadheads
 

There are way to many great broadheads to pick just one. You also have to decided not only how well the head flys, but how it penetrates, holds up and how much it cuts. You also need to consider your personal setups Kinetic energy levels etc. My best advice would be to check out www.broadheadtests.com there is a lot of free info that should at least help steer you in the right direction. By using the site as well as other opinions on the board you should be able to make the right choice for your personal setup.

RE: broadheads
 

IMO....I switched to NAP Crossfires last year because they seemed to fly more consistentthan my muzzys. Out of the 5 guys in our hunting trailer, we use5 different broad heads.

RE: broadheads
 

Slick Tricks.

RE: broadheads
 

I agree but also the muzzy MX-4's seem very well in the field.

RE: broadheads
 

muzzy

RE: broadheads
 

g5 Strikers IMO

RE: broadheads
 

I always try different ones, but always return to muzzy three blades.

RE: broadheads
 

When it comes to Flight, Toughness, Cutting diameterin a fixed blade Broadhead, Slick Tricks are at the top of the Food chain. Yep they really are that good:D

RE: broadheads
 

Am I missing something?

RE: broadheads
 

I love slick trick. A great head. My only problem is they are not as easy to come by as muzzy. But they are great heads. I also like sonics.

RE: broadheads
 

Not Muzzy! I'd rather take my chances with field points.

RE: broadheads
 

As long as yer bow is tuned they'll shoot good!!

But i would have to reccommend STEEL FORCE:D;)

RE: broadheads
 

Can someone help point me to a good online resource for tuning bows? I'm a little lost on the vernacular. Thanks! Sorry to interrupt.
