RE: Muzzy's.....Thunderhead's....whatta crisis???
I recently took a 1500-pound Water Buffalo in Argentina with 125-grain Thunderheads. Broke 2 ribs that are like 2X4's and didn't lose a single blade. The broadheads stayed perfectly in tact and with some replacement blades, they were good as new. I was impressed with their durability, not to mention their effectiveness.
I'm sure Muzzy's are the same and they do cost a bit less.
Actually, for game as small as whitetail deer, there are MANY broadheads on the market that are equally effective. I like Spitfire Expandables also. They shoot great and make a helluva hole and are great for deer-sized animals. When going after bigger game like Elk, Moose, Water Buffalo, or some of the big Africa Game, broadhead choice becomes a bit more critical.
Get a good quality broadhead: Thunderhead, Spitfire, Muzzy, Satellite, and you will be fine for deer.

I've killed deer with both and here is my opinion.
Thunderheads-Very accurate, not very durable.
Muzzy-Very accurate, very durable.
You pick.
Hunt the thickets

NO crisis, but the easiest decision you will ever make. You can't be wrong with either choice. I don;t think there is a shot out there on a deer where one will significantly out perform the other.
Personally I am a thunderhead guy. I will never switch, they have never failed me. I put them through some bone too and they've held up. I don;t shoot a blistering speed bow by any means either.
Some things are true whether you believe them or not.

No brainer here.....Muzzy, period. If the shop is out, I'll go to another shop. I keep a dozen on hand, so that isn't a problem though.
Muzzy is the BADDEST BLADE MADE....

Half a dozen of one....6 of the other!
Both are good heads. I have shot both and both are great. Tune your bow and choose one and you can't go wrong.

Get all your buddies together and shoot a little bit of everything represented. That is a cheap way of trying heads out. Two things I won't try to save money on are broadheads and climbing tree stands. (steel force and summit)
