Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I have shot Thunderheads for about 8 or so years and i decided to try muzzy's this year. I like them, but i dont care for the thickness of the blades. Everyone I shot, one blade was either bent in half or really rounded over after the pass through..

I think I will be going back to a thunderhead next year..

Just my two cents

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

You said 100 grain right? I have found them to be too small for my hunting needs. I use the 125 4-blade and I plowed through my buck this year. Not one of the blades bent, except when we had to pull the broken off arrow from the opposite rib. Only then it was just kinda dulled, not bent.

You might consider using the 125 4 blades, they fly true *don't have to resight after using field points*, and they leave a way better blood trail with good penetration in the deer.


Just my 2 cents....

I only put an arrow through 1 deer this year and burried it about 6 inches in the ground after passing through and I didn't did see anything unnormal (the usual nicks in the blades)about the condition of the blades after the kill. I definately didn't bend or break any of the blades.

I have a question though, do you change the blades out after you've shat a deer with them? I'll use the same ferrul but I always replace the blades.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I don't understand. Once I shoot a broadhead I throw the blades away anyway or use them for practice and replace them with new blades from Muzzy's replacement packs so.....what difference does it make if they are bent after a pass through...who's to say your not smacking rock etc...after going through the animal.....I'm confused, obviously they performed perfectly.. but that's why there are so many manufacturers out there. One for everybody.

I'm like the rest, I replace my blades everytime I shoot a deerso bent blades never factor in. You can't beat MUZZY"S

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I think we are all coming from the same area, that you should be glad that you're having pass-thrus. As for the dulling of the blades or "rounding"; that is common with all types of fixed blades. Trust me, I used Thunderhead 125's for 2 years and in my own opinion they don't compare to the bone-busting power of Muzzy's. I personally don't know of any blades that can go thru the deer and dig into the ground, and come back perfectly sharp enough to use again. After they've been shot thru one deer, they become target blades.;)

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

Blades on most heads aren't made to bust through bone......or rocks. Blades are for slicing. ;) Bout any head you use needs new blades after shooting an animal and in the case of one piece broadheads, they need touched up.

Muzzy 100 grain user here, no complaints at all.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I ain't got nothin against 100 grains, just personal pref for 125.;)

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I am with you there, I've used both successfully. 100 grains is just my setup now after using 125 grains for many years.:)

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I shoot muzzy 100gr broadheads and haven't had any problems, but I only shoot them once and retire them for practice or small game. I have had blades come back nicked up or a little bent. A little tip: I was using last years blades to tune and one of the blades had a nick in it causing it to fly erratic and off the mark.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I just had a pass through yesterday with a 125 (think it is a thunderhead but I'm not sure) and pulled the arrow from the ground about 20 yards beyond where I hit the deer. Blades are still very sharp and straight - can't even tell I used it. Maybe this is an anomaly though? I am currently experimenting with Muzzy 100's but haven't been in the woods with them.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

well ive been using the muzzy 100 3 blade and hadnt had any problems until this yr, but i think alot of that was on my part. I hit the front shoulder of a nice buck and it didnt bust threw. But all the other deer with the right shot placement clean kill. I use to use spitfires, I think its all on how ya place the shot.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I had a terrible time with a set of Muzzy 4 blade 90 grain heads 3 years ago......random flyers and the one shot I took the head was damaged badly after hitting nothing more then a small rotten tree root. I dug up around the arrow to be sure no rock was there.

Most everyone that uses Muzzy has nothing but good things to say about them so I guess my experience was just random bad luck.

Anyways I have been using Magnus heads ever since and they are so good it's amazing. My arrow passed through my buck this year and jammed in the ground at least 6 inches.......head looked like new when I pulled it out. Put in fresh blades and ready to go.

3 blade Muzzy, 100 grain and love em'!:)

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

This year i shot a deer and used muzzy 100 grain and i had spined my the buck, The arrow went right threw the backbone and only the Blades were bent. I've shot a couple other deer with muzzy's and the do the job.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

i used 3 blade 100gr muzzy on a big buck this year. he was 25yds and quartering away the arrow went through both lungs and then easily blew through the opposite side shoulder blade. one blade was bent a little but no big deal i retire my broadhead and arrow after each bow kill.. muzzy's are awsome

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I shot a doe with muzzy 100's this year at 25 yds. I head the leg bone, punched through ti and then sliced through the heart and out right behind the other leg sticking 4" in the ground. I didn't really examine the blades cuz I threw them out but I think they were straight. No complaints here.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

Thats unusual, MUzzy 100's have been my go-to head and my family's also for years and we've yet to see someting like thatm always better than thunderheads IMO...

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

MUZZY 100 4 blades have been awesome for me. Don't practice and hunt with the same heads though.

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

i used the muzzy 100 4 blades this year passed right thru stuck in the ground about 5 inches but the best part was the deer ran for the car lol the blades looked clean after the shot did get a squirrel with the same blades passed thru and stuck in the tree the cutting diamiter on the muzzy seems small but nothing replaces a well placed shot

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

I dont ever shoot my broadhead through a deer twice...especially the blades..

I just found it wierd that the blade would bend over in half like that.. It didnt hit any rocks, cuz it was laying on the ground, only thing I canthink of isit hit the bottom of the spine and rolled over..

RE: Muzzy 100 experience this year...
 

first year for me using the muzzy 3 blades 100's. Hope i can find out how they work in the next coouple weeks they seem a little thicker then the rocky' mountain heads i used in the past....
