Broadhead ?
 
What broadhead (besides RAGE) flies just like your field tip?

I know that Rage does but I dont really want to spend the money. and My field tips are Right on so I dont want to mess up my sighting much.

So your suggestions please.

You looking for a mechanical or a fixed? I shoot Muzzy MX-4 and they fly like my field points. But out of a properly tuned bow they should just about all fly like a FP.

Either one fixed or mechanical.

Mechanicals are going to offer wider cutting diameters and will be easier to make fly like a field point, however dont use them as a band aid for a poorly tuned bow. Fixed blades are going to be tougher.

Slick tricks fly well out of my rig.

Anybody try these yet? It's made by Eastman so I'm afraid of wasting my money, but it doeslooks like they're trying to improve on existing designs. It's called Firstcut XT and it's 100 grain.

I just shot my old muzzy 3-blade 100gr from 50yds & they flew like my field tips.

As far as Fixed Blade heads, Slick Tricks fly as well as any head I've seen.

Spitfires, but they cost only 4 or 5 dollars less than rage. It's probably better to go ahead and spend a little morewhen it comes to broadheads. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I wouldn't risk shooting a deer with a cheap broadhead that I didn't have confidence in. Spitfires are great mechanicals and fly like a field tip.

My Smoke broad head shoot exactly like my field points.

BPS doesn't carry Slick Trick.... take it from me I work for them.... I just ordered some from Dan!


As far as making a broadhead fly like a fieldpoint... the problem ain't the broadhead its the bow or the arrow... or maybe the nut behind the string....;)

It would probably be easier to list the broadheads that I've just found dang near impossible to get to fly like a fieldpoint or hit anywhere even reasonably close to one.....

I don't know of too many fixed blades that do fly just like FP. Always seems to be some adjusting going on.

RE: Broadhead ?
 
It all comes down to a well tuned bow to get the closest match up with BH and field points. Im using the Rage right now and they are dead on with my field points, but i also shoot 3 blade muzzy 100 grain fixed and they fly just fine also with maby a very little difference.

I have tried a lot of broadheads over the years and nothing has flown as well for me as the NAP Crossfires. They have dimples to reduce drag, the blades have small foils to cause them to spin and they rotate. I have put them on several other peoples arrows and had them shoot without tuning and they flew like their fieldpoints. I will likely use these until the stop making them.

I like Muzzy Phantom 220 grain. I use 200 grain field tips... If your broad heads and field tips don't fly the same you really need to learn to tune your bow.

Field tips and broad heads will flythe same, not a good reason to use mechanicals and short change yourself. If you can't make them fly the same, adjust your pins when you hunt.

Thunderhead 100's are a great fixed blade for a good price. But honestly I would go with the Rage. I have seen the damage done by them and its the best i have ever seen. They arn't too bad in price what are the 30 some odd dollars for 3. You can re use them also, my cousing shot 3 deer last year with 1 broadhead, including a complete double shoulder blast through. The rage broadheads are a great product.

Muzzy MX-4

RE: Broadhead ?
 
Everone has their own opinion but I really like the G5 Striker.. I might shoot a doe with a Rage 2 blade just to see the massive damage but to me I like a fixed blade broadhead.. Cut on contact even better, just can't go wrong... So I say striker, but then again price is an issue so it may not be a good choice.. Oh heck, just buy some good ol' muzzy's and go killin!!!

RE: Broadhead ?
 
Fixed: Slick Trick standard.
Mechanical: Rocket Steelheads or Wolverine
I've hunted with those heads and would / will use them again.

RE: Broadhead ?
 
when i do use fix blade i use g5 strikers...i think forthose broadheadsto shoot right on with my x-force they should shoot great for any bow....

I suggest the Grim Reaper Razortips. I have found that these mechanical broadheads fly same as my field tips.

most quality broadheads will shoot fine with a properly tuned bow and the correct fletching. With an untuned bow and the wrong fletching you will need a mechanical head to for the most part to get the same impact point as your field points. There are a few fixed that will do it as well. Slick tricks, sonics, turbo's etc. I think you really need to make sure your bow is tuned, first then figure out what broadhead you really want to shoot.

Thats very helpful!! Thanks!!

What 5shot said. It is generally the bow out of tune rather than a broadhead problem. With my allegiance Thunderheads, Muzzy's, Slick Trick's and Rocky Mountain Ironhead's all group together and with my field points.

Before I broadhead tuned the bow they were all hitting about 8 inches left and 4 inches high at 40 yards.
