I use 125 muzzy. They are the best flying broadheads I' ve shot yet. I' ve had thunderheads, rockymountain and a few others. I also really like the practice blades that come with them. I haven' t had to retune my bow by using them either.

I have had excellent results with Muzzy and Thunderheads. I think in the " 5shot Files" he stated that the SlickTricks were the most accurate he had ever tested. They are a 4bld head

I think that you may be asking two seperate questions.

What are the best flying fixed bladed head? In my experience, with my setup, I would have to say that my best flying heads where two bladed non-vented heads like magnus. I have also heard good things about slick-trick. I may give them a try sometime. Does anyone know if they cam out with their 125 grain head yet? thats about as light as I would go.

What fixed bladed heads fly the same as field points? To this date, I have not founds any.

For best all around head, I would have to say any Muzzy Head.

I' ve used Bear Razorheads, Rocky Mountain (I think they were called) and at present I am using 100 gr Thunderheads.

The next time I buy broadheads, I may try Muzzy' s [I' m vacillating] but my Thunderheads print with my field points, and I cannot say enough about their sharpness and they tune and fly great. So they' re great and the reason I am vacillating is because off my motto " If it ain' t broke don' t fix it!"

wow this is the fastest i have ever got a reply its bean like 60 seconds.. i would really like a head that i dont have to change my sight too much because i shoot alot of 3d and i dont want to mess up my setup too much.. i have been hearing alot of good about the muzzys would you all suggest the 3 blade or the 4?

RE: best flying fixed blade
 
I have shot almost all Muzzy heads out there from 75 grain to 145 grain. Currently, or should I say the last deer that I shot last year was with a four bladed 145 grain. I would say it is really a matter of preference. I prefer the four blade bacause if the ease of sharpening. I wouldn' t say one is better then the other.

The best flying fixed blade would be the Austin bloodtrailer wedgehead. It says right on the package ' worlds tightest grouping broadhead.' Dont know of any other broadhead that says this on the package.

Natty, had to laugh, your post really reminded me of a scene from the movie Tommy Boy, when he was trying to sell brake pads to a fellow.

I have always had good results with Bear razorheads.

i' ve shot T-heads, muzzy' s and montec' s and thought they all shot the same.

[8D]steelforce titaniums all the way....work the best for my set-up. Depending on what your set-up is some broadheads may not work the same as they do for others. I think it' s good to ask but the truth of it is, you have to experiment with different heads till you are happy with one that works well for you. It' s really no different than sighting in your rifle with different types of loads & bullets. Hope this helps...JDinAB

LMAO Natty!! :D:D

My Magnus 2 blade 125' s fly great. Muzzy' s also fly great. I think it' s more a matter of having your bow setup and tuned properly...than the brand of head.

RE: best flying fixed blade
 
I started out with 125 wasps years ago and they flew perfect untill they increased their cutting diameter. I since have been shooting 125 thunderheads with perfect results except in one short wheel to wheel bow I had. I am shooting them on 2315s in 28 1/2 and 31 inch arrows. I am not breaking any speed records but my arrows are flying where I aim them.

The main thing is to have a well tuned bow. after that any good fixed head can be made to fly good. I have shot the following and great results with accuracy.

Thunderheads
Rocky Mountain Ironheads
Muzzy' s
Deadheads by GKF
Rocket Ultimate Steels

:DYou can get a good look at a t-bone by sticking your head up a bulls a** but I' d rather take my butchers word for it!;)

I think Muzzys probably top the list!

Slick trick, by far.

I was just trying to answer the question. :D

As for hunting deer, I use muzzy 3 blade 100gr. I will not change. My buddy uses thunderheads and he is very lucky at dropping deer close to his stand.

Specifically tune your bow to shoot one of these heads and you will be fine.

RE: best flying fixed blade
 
Of all the fixed blade broadheads I have tested, most have proven to be very accurate with a well tuned bow and arrow combination. That said there are two heads that stand out in the accuracy dept, slick tricks and the Rocket ultimate steel. Since the Ultimate steel proved to be an unreliable head in most every way I can' t recomend them to anyone. The Slick tricks on the other hand are a tough great shooting head. The fly most like field points and almost all of the field reports I have on them are great. If you want the most accurate fixed blade head I would go with the slicktricks. You can find them at www.slicktrick.net Some other heads That I Highly recomend are Muzzy, goldenkey deadheads, Magnus stingers, Thunderheads Rocky Mtn titainiums and wasp sst' s. their are many more good heads but those are easy to find are are all excellent.

I' ve used Montec' s for the last 2 hunting seasons and they fly great, but almost everything I have tested (and it has been several fixed blade) seem to shoot good for me.

RE: best flying fixed blade
 
Check out www.spintite.com. There is a new broahdead out that is supposed to fly exactly like field points, guaranteed. Reading the web page their claims make sense and they look like a good product. Anyone here seen them?

yea mez i have been looking at those i emailed them and they said i should be able to get ahold of some in a few months.

I would have to go with Muzzy first,then Snuffers.I think i am going to try the G5 Montecs this year.They look pretty increadable(solid one piece)Footed Shaft:)

silentassassin 03-03-2003 07:13 AM

RE: best flying fixed blade
 
My vote goes to the Montecs. The T-heads and the Muzzy' s have shot good for me in the past but the Montecs proved to me this past season to shoot well on most anything they were screwed on to.

Bowfanatic; actually the quote that I was thinking about was:

" What difference does it make if the word guaranteed is printed on the box, I can take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed if you want, I have a lot of spare time on my hands"

Or something like that.

Those spintecs look an aweful lot like a muzzy with some bent blades on it. The furel (sp) and tip look darn close.
