Which broad head do you guys think is the best?
 
Which broad head do you guys prefer (100 grain rage 2 blade or 3 blade), (100 grain muzzy fixed 3 blade), or (100 grain fixed blade thunder heads)
Let me know what you guys think will be the best choice for deer hunting or at least what you guys think is the best broad head to use.

Thunderheads are a good head. Rage are a Good head if you are looking for a mechanical.

IMHO the Slick Tricks are the best all around rpl bade broadhead out there. The 100 grain heads come in a Standard 1" cut, Magnum 1 1/8" cut, & the Grizz 1 1/4" cut depending on your setup and game you are after.

I have used the Grizz Tricks for 2 years and have had some Awesome results.

There are many good heads out there. Good luck in your search!

i just quit usin the retractables..never again..no i haven't tried rage, i said never again befor rage came along

In all honesty they all work well! It's just a test and tune type of deal like live and learn if u know what I mean!! Different set ups shoot broadheads different it's all part of the experience! If I was just starting out though I would be using a fixed blade to keep it simple and go from there!

I have always used fixed blades, Bodkin, Rothar, Ziwekee. However, my brother took several deer this year with Rage broadhead, and it's hard to believe the ENTRY hole made. Both deer double lunged, no pass thru, but wound channel was unreal.

None of the above.

I use Outback Supreme Single Bevel, toughest head I have found in the last 48 years.




Hardened to 50 rockwall and a blade thickness of .043.

solocamcan 01-05-2010 09:21 AM

Muzzy 100gr. 3 blade for me. Watching my brother blow completly through an Elk at 70 yards did it for me.

No doubt rage is the best broadheads to buy I have tried all kinds of broadheads muzzy,thunderheads,grimreapers,spitfires,but the best thing I have came by in years has been the rage 2-blade.

fishinty 01-05-2010 03:19 PM

I like rage two blede broadheads they give you exellent blood trails, and short tracking jobs.

salukipv1 01-05-2010 03:24 PM

I have 3 favorites, Rage 2blade, NAP razorbaks, muzzys 3blade 100gr.

I'm really surprised those NAP razorbaks aren't more popular, in my mind they're one of the best designs on the market, 2 blade cut on contract, with 2 bleeders, with rotating technology, my father shoots them at lower poundange and he always kills deer, great penetration.

I think when I don't wanna use my rage 2 blade, or am required to not use an expandable, those will be my choice.

Muzzy's were my first BH's I ever used and had no complaints, so those are my 3 favs, not sure I'd have any reason to use any other.

TrueTexanSkoal 01-05-2010 04:00 PM

fixed blades all the way. g5 strikers 100gr and muzzy mx-3 100gr.

lbott29 01-05-2010 04:21 PM

slick trick magnum by far

hunting sniper 01-05-2010 04:26 PM

I like the muzzy 100. Tried and true.

moose1915 01-05-2010 05:57 PM

switched from muzzy to slick tricks. quieter, perfect flight, IMPRESSIVE results!

Michbowhunter 01-05-2010 06:30 PM

What's best is a matter of perspective, and very subjective depending on whom you ask. Having said that, I used to swear by Muzzy 3 blade 100gr.; however, I'm hooked on the 100gr. Grim Reaper's.

The one's I use have the same trocar--bone crushing tip--as the Muzzy, but it also includes three small razors in the tip to aid penetration. I also like the simplicity of the Grim Reaper and the fact that they can be shot opened or closed for those places that do not allow mechanicals. They also fly as true as bullet points, which is a definite plus.

I shot three deer with them this year. One, a doe, who dropped within a few feet from my stand, and two bucks that made it 30 and 40 yards with blood trails that I could easily track in the dark.

Not saying they're the best, because I haven't tried everything, but I couldn't be more happy with the performance of the Grim Reapers!

I tried the swhacker's this year and they tore a doe up... left a huge exit hole and the enty was nothing to be ashamed of... I will be using them next year for sure!

Can you buy replacement blades for them?

I just bought 2 blade rage and didn't like them the broad head that I have had the bst performanec out of is 100 grain thunderheads bc they open deer up I got a bigger cutting hole then the 3 blade muzzys but ill still give the rage a try bc if I don't then I'll just have waisted 40 dollars.

blakefrautschi 01-06-2010 06:41 PM

G5 tekkan's are what i normally use now, they did great work on 3 different deer this year. same head for all 3 deer, didnt even need to be re-sharpened
thunderheads are great as well, i always keep at least one in my quiver

bowfly 01-07-2010 12:20 PM

i prefer the WASP Hammer SST, 100gr 3 blade, fixed...all but two of my deer have been taken with them, the others were taken with a G5 Montec (boo, broadhead was at a 60 degree angle lodged in the shoulder!) and a Thunderhead 125gr (performed well).

Hurricanespg 01-07-2010 01:13 PM

Grim Reaper Razortips for me. I have done some pretty extensive testing on the Atom's last year as well. They have a place in my quiver right next to the Reaper's.

teedub31 01-07-2010 04:53 PM

Not to get off topic, but I was curious as to what is the best beer out there?? Should I go with a Sam Adams, Amstel, Coors, Bud??? What about PBR and Hamms light?? Heard good things about all of them. What do you think???:popcorn:

bigbulls 01-07-2010 06:58 PM

For 90% of the people out there it really doesn't matter one bit what the best broadhead actually is. Most people buy what ever broadhead (or any product for that matter) gets the most air time on television, has the most pro hunters promoting it, and has the most print ads in their favorite magazines.





But to answer the question.

I look for a few things in a broadhead.
* I prefer steel construction over aluminum.
* I test the overall durability (ferrule strength, blade durability, blade retention) by shooting things like plywood, cinder blocks, steel drums... not many hold up well here.
* Scary sharp blades.
* Great flight characteristics with minimal tuning required.
* Total cutting ability. (not cutting diameter but total cutting ability)

The broadheads I have found to make the cut in everything I look for in a broadhead are Slick Tricks. I have yet to find a broadhead that puts it all into a single package like the Slick Tricks do.

kldad06 01-09-2010 11:45 AM

I believe bigbulls has it. Most people will buy the one that is promoted the most. Rage right now seems to be that broadhead. I am not nocking them one bit. I am sure they are exceptional broadheads. But everyone is different and every bow is different. I don't think you can go wrong with any broadhead due to the competition today. What ever you feel comfortable with will be the best broadhead for you. I use muzzy and have for years and they have never let me down. Every deer no matter how big or small has not went further than 60 yds. Shot placement is the most critical part.
