If there is one thing that I tinker around with it is broadheads

I have used thunderheads, muzzy, rocket sidewinders,hammerheads, rage, rcky mtn gators, magnus stingers/buzzcuts/ g-5 striker

I have taken deer with all listed, but keep coming back to fixed blade broadheads - I am going to use the magnus 4bld buzzcuts this year -

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

Yep, went through the cycle as well. Started with thunderheads, went to Spitfires, back to thunderheads, and now on slick tricks.

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

I have done that cycle two and a half times in my bowhunting career. Fixed (Bear Razorheads) to Mechanical (Puckets Bloodtrailers [:'(]) to Fixed (Muzzy 3 Blades 100grn) To Mechanical (Rocky Mtn Snypers 2 Blade and Snyper XP3's) to Fixed (Bear Razorheads 145grn) and Now this year to Muzzy Phantoms 220grn. And honestly I believe I am staying with the fixed blade heads.:D Gotta love how hard a High FOC and Heavy arrow hits. :D

I switched from Steelhead 100's to Strikers this year...mostly just for the hell of it.

I have killed 20+ whitetails and 3 bears with Steelheads and they have performed well for me.

I went from Muzzy's to Wasp Jak Hammers and then back to the Muzzy's. If I don't hit my head on something really hard I'll never shoot anything other than Muzzys again.

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

Bear Razorheads for 20+yrs...Mechanicals last year...now Muzzy's.

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

Thinking along the same lines - had great experiences with the magnus line and do not plan on changing anytime soon

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

Fixed.........to mechanicals......to fixed.....back to mechanicals.

First head was a Thunderhead. I switched ot a mechanical for the wrong reason (arrow flight issues). I switched BACK to mechanical when I wasn't getting the blood trails I wanted.

After seeing the trauma the mechanicals can produce.....I won't be switching back any time soon.

From Rocky mountain 3 blade to the Rage 3 Blade and finished with Montec. That was 2007 I'll see if if the montec's still work for me in 08

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

In 96' I swithed from fixed to mechanicals... Sattelite COC's to Vortex, since then I have never had a reason to swith again..

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

Yeah, I'm a fixed to mechanical, to fixed, back to mechanical guy too.

I'll try to list all of the broadheads I've used. Bear Razor Heads, Razorbaks,Thunderheads, Punchcutters, Bloodtrailers, Wasp Hammer SSTs, Muzzy 4 Blades, Razorbaks (new version), Steel Force Sabertooth,Rocky Mt. Revolution, Rocky Mt. Snypers, Rocket Steelheads, Rocket Sidewinders,Spitfires, and now Rage 2 blades. I'll likely be using some Innerloc Falcons this year as well.

Whew! That's a lot of broadheads!

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

I started with fixed and went to mech. heads because I couldnt get the fixed to fly. When I started learning more and figured out how to tune them in I went back to fixed and I am sticking with them. I will still probly use mech. heads for turkeys but that is it.

In 26 seasons I started with 160 gr Thunderheads to 100 gr Thunderheads to 100 gr Muzzy for nearly 15 years and have them today but the last 7 animals I've shot have been with the Rocky Mountain Snyper. I don't have issue with any head, I currently can group Muzzy, Slick Trick, Sonics and Snypers together. My quiver has Snypers and either Slick Trick or Muzzys in it.

started with muzzy when to rage now back on muzzy

I did it too and I'm happy to say, I'm a fixed broad head hunter. I started with Thunderheads 125grto Muzzy 125gr. Muzzy to Pucketts 125gr (what a joke)and back to Muzzy but with the100gr. Tried the Steelheads 100grand then to Montecs 100gr. After the Montec I went back again to Muzzy 100grfor a few seasons and now I shoot Nitrons 100gr.

This will be my third season with them and I love them. They fly perfect and do the job on everything I draw back on;)

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

I've always shot fixed and then bought 3 different packs of mechanicals. And never shot the first one at a critter. I'm sticking with fixed. It's an old guy thingy.

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

Not just an old guy thingy!! I'll never use a Mech, there will always be a fixed cut on contact on the end of my arrow.

RE: who has went from fixed to mechanical back to fixed
 

I've Bowhunted for 40 seasons and killed more than a few animals. I have used at least 40 or more different broadheads to kill game, and close to half of those were mechanicals.

I started with fixed, switched to mechanicals for several years, and then switched back to fixed.

I want a head that is tough as an anvil (that includes blades), it must be razor sharp, and group as well as I am capable of shooting.

I really see no advantage to using mechanicals anymore.
