Need New Broadheads
 

Ok well its time for me to start practicing for the upcoming season. And you know what? my dad moved my archery gear! (he missplaced my broadheads!) i had some rage 2 blades, a couple muzzy's, and some NAP thunderheads (never used) and Hellrazorswhich i took a deer with this year. I took deer with both rage and hellrazors. Both preformed but i was extremely happy with the hellrazors, i liver shotted it and it still went down in 25 yards. I think i will try and stay away from expandables, most are super expensive anyway for a 1 time use and there ruined (atleast what happened to me with rage, even though they took my deer down super quick). I'll still look into the mechanicals you guys suggest but i'd like some fixed blades too. What are some broadheads that you guys noticed shoot the best compared to your field tips?

thanks.

I couldn't get any fixed blades to fly comparable to my field points so I went with the rage expandables. Before that I used the g5 Montec. I like the broadhead but I had to adjust my sights a little with them. But they are easy to practice with and sharpen up really nice.

Thunderheads are my choice.

I am gonna be trying out the Slick Trick Magnums this year. I had used the Rages and was not that impressed with them. I then switched to the Muzzy MX3 and thought they did a good job.

Ram Cat - check out their site and the tests they did with other broadheads. I have tried a lot and they all pretty much work, but RAM CAT really hit and cut. Check out their site:

Wac'em!
 

I really like the g5 montecs, I did not have to readjust my sights with them. I shoot 125 grain field tips and 125 grain montecs.

I've been using Magnus heads for years.Excellent!

anyone else here shoot crimson talon?? they destroy deer,but are heavy broadheads,and none of my friends have ever shot them

............X2

i understand wanting to spend a little less on equipment but if your knocking down deer in 25 yards why switch. i would rather spend an extra $20 on broadheads if there working that good.

In-tune bows will shoot everything just about the same.

Phoenix broadheads by Red Feather Archery are what I currently have -- good price, too -- and soon I'll have some German-Kinetics SilverFlame XL broadheads (pretty pricey, though).

Here is a very helpful Broadhead test comparing over a dozen different broadheads shot into different medium such as water jugs (to judge how quickly they drain), plywood, and... ribs covered in deer hide. There's several videos showing the different tests. The best penetrating heads were the fixed blade cut-on-contact heads.

An excerpt:

I was looking to switch from Rage last year to Slick Tricks but couldn't get my bow to tune. It was too close to the season to mess with things so I stuck with the Rage heads. Although previous to last season I shot and recovered 4 deer with Rage 2 blades, last year I lost 2. I'm sure it was placement though (shoulder shots) but I'm pretty sure if I had hit the same spot with a good fixed blade head I would have still taken them down quickly. I'm breaking out the slick tricks next week so I'll have plenty of time to get them shooting well before the season starts.

i also think i a good small sharp fixed blade can penetrate shoulder especially with a high poundage bow.

Myself, I like Rage 2 blades for open hunting. I also like the Muzzy, 100 gr. 3 blades for more dense conditions, like hunting in brush and/or thickets.

i just bought a pack. They fly very well. There funny though. They dont fly like feild tips but feild tips fly like they do. I spent 30 minutes adjusting my sight and now there spot on. And the feild tips are to. I have no idea how this works but it does.
