I'll speak in general terms.

A properly placed broadhead is the best for deer

Well not for deer but for taking deer.

CUT ON CONTACT BROADHEAD FAIRED OK, TOO MUCH CUTTING SURFACE TO PENETRATE PROPERLY
There goes all of Dr. Ashby's years of studies and testing.

LOL, i was thinking the EXACT same thing...

Guys remember it was a piece of wood not a living breathing animal with flesh and bone. The cut on contacts had too much cutting surface to penetrate thru the wood, there was too much surface slowing the blades down. Not saying it would be the same in a deer.

If you are getting pass thru's with your muzzy, and I am confident that you are, how much more penetration do you need.

LOL Bob

Muzzy's are very good heads. I used to use them and had great luck with them. However I have since switched to a COC head (magnus) and I like them better. I feel like they will out penetrate in the case of a not so great shot. On a good shot, there's probably not much difference between them. Pass through, dead deer.

So to answer your question.....it's up to him. IMO, the COC heads offer a little more insurance in the case of a not so great hit, but I would think that the Muzzy's should perform well.

I think everyone here has their own personal choice for broadheads, sounds to me like most of us use Muzzy's, If a broadhead works for you, why Change?

I also use Muzzys. Tried and true,and the price is right. I cant see paying over $30 for three expandables.

Im deciding between Muzzy 75's or G5 Montec 85's. I shoot a 75 gr field point, so 10 grains up isnt going to matter a whole. i like the muzzy's because i dont have to resharpen them, i just gotta change the blades.

Someone may have already stated this....but there is no BEST broadhead on the market. If you put almost any broadhead thru the boiler room you have a dead deer. Some may perform better than others in certain situations but there are just too many good broadheads to have a BEST one.
