looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

i amgoing to my local dealer and im looking to buy a new set of broadheads.....ive shot the crimson talon xt's and they are nice but i need something that i trust will kill a deer anytime. please let me know what your opinion is?

Fixed blade- Muzzy. Expandable- Rage. Best two of both worlds IMO. I shoot muzzys and always have just cuz I've never trusted expandables except I would consider using the rages now days but I'll stick with my muzzys. WCL

I shoot Vortex 2 blade 100g 2 1/2" cut, I have been shooting these blades for ten years and they have never failed me and I owe somewhere in the neighbor hood of 35-45 animals to these broadheads. Everything from big boar hogs to Japanese Sika have fallen to these blades. I won't go in the woods with anything else, regardless of what some other people think, these heads have proven to me to be a extremely ethical means of taking animals. If you are interested in them they can be bought in cabella's.

Cant go wrong with Muzzy... but check out Slick Tricks! Awesome Head, I made the switch last year and I am really happy with them!! They are also coming out in June with a 1 1/4'' cut blade that I will be giving a go this year!! Look em up Grizz Tricks by Slick Trick!!

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

I like the G5 strikers in a fixed head, and Rage in expandable.

I have had great results with the NAP Crossfires, they are pricey but shoot excellent. I have never had them fly more than an inch outside of where my fieldpoints generally shoot and they dont need tuning right out of the box to fly well.

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

A few muzzy guys will or at least will want to pounce on me for this but what the heck...

I think muzzy's areNOT top notch. I believe that the reason why they've made a name for themselves is because they are good enough at the same time cheap enough. It really does play on a consumer's mind thus ultimately their decision when they see a brand that's 3 for$30 -vs- a brand like muzzy that's 6 for $35.

I'm a muzzy guy myself and took all three of my bucks with them. They do get the job done, don't get me wrong. However, when it comes to unsurpassable quality, they aren't it. In my eyes, g5offers unsurpassable quality in some of their broadheads. I've owned and shot g5 montecs and can vouche for their quality and craftsmanship. If you take the time to google muzzy consumer reviews, you'll find people sometimes complain about flight quality. That along with flimsy blades and less than heavy duty ferrule are my complaints.

Thus the reason I'm switching to Slick Tricks this fall. I will still keep the muzzy's in the quiver but wont trust their flight, blades, or ferrule on deer. They will be used for the bothersome woodland critters.

Thanks for reading my essay. :D

No thanks, I do not wish to spar, only discuss. ;)

Fixed blade - G-5 strikers, Thunderheads, muzzys, magnus buzzcuts

Expandable rage, rocket, or rcky mtn

Another vote for Slick Tricks

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

I am with you on that. The new Phatheads are just flat out wicked and fly great.

Snuffer SS

Rocket Steelhead


Nuff Said

IMHO

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

I would use whatever flies best for you...any head will do the job when put in the boiler room....

Its what flies best for you..

Mechanicals offer the least amount of variation...as you may now...they fly just like the field points..

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

125 thunderheads cause they work. They fly a lot different than 125 gr. field pts so some fine tuning is required to make the change. Almost all sharp broadheads will drop a deer or elk/ect if hit in the vitals but the head has to be tuned and balance and when you figure this out, stick with what works and flies right. ;)

G5 montec 100's "A lean, mean, deer eliminatin machine", simple (one piece), resharpenable to a scary (did I just slice my finger?) edge , no gimmics (its one piece for goodness sakes!), and you don't have to cash in a child or two to own a set!

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

Muzzy fixed 3 blade or NAP Spitfire expandables. I know that I have slick tricks listed in my sig but I plan to use them this season even though I haven't yet tried them, I still have faith they will do the job (after a few test fires of course). But yeah those two that I mentioned are the most guaranteed in the business.

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

Muzzy's and G5's and those Hell Razrs are looking pretty dang good aswell.

This year I will be using 100grain SilverFlames. Super darned expensive[:o]. BUT, I think it's the absolute best head for my setup on big game. And yes, I will be investing in a metal detector:D. If I don't lose 'em, they should last me a long time.

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

Doegirl, I have "heard" that those are the toughest heads out there and do massive damage. I thought about giving them a go in the future! Like you said expensive as **** but will last you a lifetime! I've seen countless videos on a Trad site that this guy uses these heads on Hogs and I can't believe the damage they do! Every hog and deer is just down in seconds with huge holes and massive blood trails.

I hope someone chimes in that has used them first hand!

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

Them German Kenitics are $80 for a trio....****...thats outrageous!

Buy Tango Tiburons...good design just one flaw...not enough Cutting Diamter!

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

I admire the spear headed design of them as well.

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

Those silver flames look pretty cool, but at $80 a pack i don't think I will be shooting those!!! I think I will try the new GrizzTricks but if those fail it is back to the old faithful Muzzy's!!!

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

Rocket Steelheads but a little concerned that they sold out to Trophy Ridge.
Just don't get fooled into buying the meanest looking head as it might not be the best.Is there a BH out there that won't do it's job if you do yours?

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

Slick trick for fixed heads and rage for expandables.

RE: looking for new broadheads for deerhunting!
 

IF, I don't lose them all, those heads could possibly last me an entire bowhunting career. A one time fee of $160 for 6 does not sound so bad if when put in that perspective. Better than spending $30.00+ a year on lesser heads till I croak or totally unable to hunt:D.
