I like rage broadheads because of the penetration and giant holes it leaves in deer.

I switched from Muzzy to Rage and it has been the best switch I have made in all of my years of bowhunting.The rages are more accurate and shoot alot better and have a bigger cutting diameter than those muzzys.

I can not really say, I've never shot an expandable.

[QUOTE][What do you think works best mechanical or fixed blade broadheads I've used both and I've heard the arguements from both sides I want to hear everyone elses opinion and experiences. I now prefer fixed because they seem to to more damage when inside a running deer./QUOTE] IF you're arrows with fixed blade broadheads are staying inside, NOT PASSING THROUGH, a deer sized critter, then you'd best stick with fixed/COC broadheads because apparently you're setup isn't producing much KE to start with, and going to any of the mechs. would only make penetration worse.
I prefer COC broadheads. I always get complete pass throughs, even on elk, and that's what I prefer. I prefer to be able to locate my arrow after a shot and have a chance to determine how good the shot was from the evidence left on the shaft. And IMO, two holes are better than one! |
All it takes is 1 time for a mechanical to not open and you will kick yourself for not using fixed. If you can't get a fixed bh to group right then your bow is out of tune. I perfectly tuned bow will shoot a fixed bh exactly where the field point goes. I suggest a fixed. I wouldn't buy something that is not 100% opening everytime, especially when they make such good fixed. Just my opinions. Thunderhead or Muzzy.

I shoot Rage 3-blade... They are the cats a**!! My personal opinion is to shoot what you feel comfortable, if you question mechanicals then go with fixed and vise versa... I shot fixed for all my year until about 2 years ago when the hype of the Rage came out (I was one of those that swore by fixed blades) and I tried them with great success... They are point blank accurate and leave one heck of a hole in an animal... I started shooting Thunderheads and didn't really care for them, then I went to Muzzy's and once again not a fan.. Then I started shooting the G5 montecs, these are by far my favorite fixed blade but didn't care for the bloodtrails.. So I switch to mechanicals and now shoot the Rage!! I have killed and seen plenty of deer killed with the rage broadhead to believe in them, they are the real deal and that is the truth...

[QUOTEI now prefer fixed because they seem to to more damage when inside a running deer.][/QUOTE] Which is it then Oldbucks, YOUR set up or your friends set-up? You've now changed your story!! You started off the thread saying that YOU NOW PREFER FIXED!! And then in your last post you say "his set-up"! So which is it, yours or his or........
Either way, if a fixed blade COC broadhead is staying in a deer, then either both shoulders were hit or you're having penetration issues from lack of tuning or something. I get pass throughs on elk with a 375 gr. arrow with 100 gr. Magnus snuffers, including a complete pass through on an elk at 51 yards last year. SO, you tell me how it is that you or your freind can't get an arrow through a whitetail at 25 yards. Don't make since now does it! Somethings amiss!! |
This one time at band camp....!
Do your homework-know your bow-have confidence shooting it. Keep it close, keep it personal, keep it tight, hit em under the spine and through the ribs. Do this and any broadhead shot from a well tuned bow with sufficient KE will get the job done. And for the record, my mechs suit me just fine. I could not have killed those animals taken with my bow any better! "That's all I have to say about that"- Forrest Gump |
