What's the best broadhead on the market considering cost? That is, best for the price!! I'm going to count the replies and actually buy what is the most recommended. I'm shooting a Hoyt MagnaTech with 60# draw. I have lost faith in the mechanicals.

well fella, why did u lose faith in the ol trusty mechanical? I do know if u switch it will take some fine tuning, i shoot mechanicals and the other day i shot a fixed and boy what a drop it had, like a rock!! But nap has some new one out for 04 like triton, and a few others that are top of the line, around 30$ for three! Kinda steep for me, but you get what u pay for i reckon

Groundhunter, dont you think you should count the votes from team19 as more important then anyone else
I made the same switch this year. I plan on hunting 50% of the time from my portable ground blind this fall and want to take advantage of the shoot through windows. I have switched from jakhammer 100s to muzzy 100s, so far all is well and you have to love the penitration.

Now that's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one.

Groundhunter-I am doing the same thing this year. I will be shooting the Muzzy 100 3 blade this year. I shot Spitfires for 3 years, and am going back to fixed. I shot my bow with the muzzy practice blades, and my groupings were great!!! Yo may have to doing some tuning(very minor), but for me it was a piece of cake. I do not want to have worry about my broadhead opening or not when I am on a deer!!!

Go Muzzy's all the way, little fine tuning and your on your way.

I shoot Muzzy 100 gr. 3-blade now and shot Muzzy 90 gr. 4-blade last year (3 kills). They fly well and are tough...well, except for the basement wall incident. [&:]

I've read and heard good reports on the Rocky Mountain Titantiums, too.

I'm still a fan of the Stingers. They are a little steep but they are great heads and they have a lifetime warranty. Good luck
