Broadhead Comparison
hey guys i know i seem to be asking a lot of questions lately but since i'm getting this new bow and i'm fairly new to bowhunting, i want to make sure i'm getting top quality equipment. anyway, i'm looking at two different broadheads, the Rocket Sidewinders and the Muzzy MX-4s. i just want some opinions on each BH to help me make my decision, good or bad. thanks guys

RE: Broadhead Comparison
I would use the MX4's-if I could not getRage 2 blades. The rockets will not produce enough penetration reliably (IMO). They produce dramatic wounds if perfectly placed butI clipped abone with one and it failed to penetrate adequately. There are folks on here who successfully use the rockets but the Muzzy's are dead reliable.

RE: Broadhead Comparison
After shooting Muzzy's for 15 years and loving them...I can tell you the MX-4 is the last one of their lineup I would try. The MX-3 is good, but that 4 is just plain no good. If you are seton Muzzy, choose the MX-3 or the regular 4 blade 100 and you will be fine.
I have since moved on and now shoot the Steelforce Phathead. It is simply an awesome broadhead that will fly out of any tuned bow, plain and simple.

RE: Broadhead Comparison
I have definite thoughts on what is up with them, but I am not going to get into what I think is wrong. I will just say, even when I shot for Muzzy, I wouldn't shoot those, and would not recommend them to anyone now either.
