I may have been brain washed, but is there an alternative to Muzzy?

Thanks to all and especially Joe with that in depth discussion. I'm going to look into some of the names dropped here and see what I come up with.

mrfritz44, I used to use the Rocky Mountain ironhead and they did the job. I shot a couple of deer with them and took them to Africa. I never lost an animal in Africa but everything I shot except an impala, the blades came out in the animal. My brother had the same experience. We got pass throughs on the impala but blesbok, warthog and kudu the arrow stayed in and there were no blades left in the broadheads. They killed the animals but I didn't like that they all came apart.

I agree on the sharpness on muzzy blades.. not to good.
I've heard to put in the inner lock blades in the muzzy's head! Might be an option.........fishon

In my opinion there is no alternative. Just buy extra blades and keep shooting Muzzy.

I have hunted with Muzzys, Thunderheads(pro series too), Rocky Mtns. and many others. Muzzys have been more successful for me. Although I have resharpened blades a few times, its much easier to buy replacement blades.

As far as Rocky Mountain T1s, they are regarded as one of the best broadheads out there, they just aren't used as much due to the high price.

Use thunderheads they are the best! My own slogan ~ "they don't just kill deer, they murder them"

IMO Innerlock makes a much beter head than Muzzy does. The steel tip runs all the way through the head and provided more strength than the Muzzy head does. They aren't so freaking big either, Innerlocks are a more compact head. Another thing i like about Innerlock over Muzzy is that the blades are in the center of the furrel instead of being offset to one side by the other blade.

I like the look of those Innerlocks for no other reason than they are very similar in size to the Muzzy's, and I know the Muzzy's fly true. Question is, do they consistently screw in straight and how are the blades? Will they dull after a few inserts into the quiver like the Muzzy's or is the steel they use harder?

Thanks,

Fritz
