There has been much discussion about broadheads lately. I want to know what reasons you use the broadheads you do.
Accuracy
Durability
Look cool
Friend recommended
Personal experience of performance
Evaluating a possible new/good product
You just always like to try something new

For me I went to thunderheads many years ago from seeing the accuracy my Dad got with them. From there having shot many deer and seeing how the heads held up, I will most likely never swtich.

I too have shot Thunderheads for many years. This year I got a hold of some of those Montec G5' s. I tested them for myself and found they flew better and penetrated deeper. Possibly because of the cut on contact point. Not sure but believe the thicker blades will hold up better if bone is accidently hit. (Don' t want to go into the bone braker thing after the other recent thread.) And yup, they look way cool! []

I like to try new stuff , but I have found Spitfires to be the best for me so far.
They fly just like my field points , out of every bow that I have owned.
They are extremely sharp .
I like the fact that the blades are not exposed , so I am confident when I shoot that nothing has dulled them.
I like the blade retention system, as I do not have to worry about o-rings having nicks or cuts in them.
They have a large 1.5" cutting diameter and the blades are lined up in a way that makes the head continue spinning as it travels through, causing a huge exit wound that you would have to have seen to believe.
The bloodtrails are the best that I have gotten with any head so far.
The heads are very tough and can take a beating.
My set ups have produced great KE so penetration has never been a real problem.
The blades are also the easiest to replace of any head I have used.
Over all they are just the best I have used so far.

My only complaint is that you don' t get a large entry wound, but if it exits .....man you have a hole that you can put your fist in !!

I would have to go with- just like to try something new-.
I have a bad habbit of buying new heads just to have them.
There are so many good choices out there now I have a hard time picking just one.
To date, I have only killed deer with muzzy 3 blade 100 grainers, sattelite Titans and rocket sidewinders.
I liked the way the doe I shot with the sidewinder went down quick. With my new bow providing more KE, I' m wanting to try a 1.75" or better cut b/h for even quicker kills.

I used Spitfires for years with great success (never lost a deer), but had some deflection inside the animal issues. I looked at what 5shot said, and on his recommendation gave the RM Snypers a look. One look at the unique design, and I retired my Spitfires and bought a bevy of Snypers. Haven' t looked back since.

Up until 3 or 4 years ago, I shot 3 blade muzzies, mainly because I liked their concept of practice blades, and they are no doubt a tough head. Then I got to noticing that every time I bought a new pack of replacement blades and even new heads, they weren' t sharp enough, they would barely shave hair, some not at all. A friend turned me on to wasp hammer sst' s, and buddy those blades are so sharp they' ll peel hair aginst the grain just barely touching my arm. Some folks may not think that sharpness matters, but when you have a head that sharp a couple of things happen, 1 the deer usually doesn' t even react to the shot, and 2, because of this and the fact that the cleaner cut of a sharp blade actually triggers the body to send more blood to the wound without ragged edges for clotting factors to adhere to, your blood trail is much much shorter, with many many deer dropping within sight. Sharpness is the biggest key that I look for in a broadhead.

I too shoot Spitfires. A friend recommended them to me. I' ve stuck with them because, like CBM SC, they shoot just like my field points and there is no worrying about o-rings.

A friend recommended that I try the Steelheads after a bad experience that I had with another expandable years ago. After trying them I found that they worked just as well for me and my setup as many of the fixed blade/replacement blade heads that I had been using. They also penetrated better and performed more accurately under a variety of environmental conditions. Since then I have moved up to a larger cutting diameter expandable...the Hammerhead...with similar good results. The amount of KE that my bow is generating is more than enough to push the 2 inch cutting diameter hammerheads through the whitetails that I pursue each fall.

After years of shooting Rocky Mtn. heads, Thunderheads and a few others Muzzys were recommended to me by a friend, and for me it was and is the best broadhead. I just seem to get a little better penetration with Muzzy although the Rocky Mtn. T-1 and Montec G-5 looks very good.

1. Love the way the blades fit and lock
2. Great bloodtrails
3. Fly the same as my fieldpoints with little tuning
4. Every Muzzy I took out of the package would shave hair.
5. Practice blades save the real ones for what they are intended...hunting.
6. Why change when Muzzys have been successful for me?

I' m using Muzzy 3 blade 100' s. Last season I had two misses using some type (don' t remember the brand) of expandable. I don' t know if they were the reason for the misses, but after I switched to Muzzys I got better accuracy while practicing. Got my first archery doe with the Muzzys. I' ll stick with them.
