Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

Thanks in advance for your responses. I have alot to learn.

This January, I bought a used SQ2 + accesesories including 5 wasp sst and 2 mechanical heads of some sort. I am currently shooting 50# but plan on shooting 55# by season. I want a low-maintanance broadhead that doesn't need sharpening that fits my set-up.

All of the sst's have been shot into dirt, deer, or both and have very dull blades. 2 of the sst's have tips in sharp condition and the other 3 tips are slightly dented or slightly bent at the point.

Should I save some $$ and get some replacement blades for the wasp's (I could not find replacement tips available.) or do something different?

I think you should buy some muzzys. They are a proven head and replacement blades are available anywhere. Buy some feild points for practice. they wont tear up you target as bad and you'll come out a whole lot cheaper. Welcome to the board. You'll find a lot of great people here with a lot of good advice.

Welcome to the board. I second the Muzzy suggestion. If you want a scary sharp broadhead that will stay sharp check out the Magnus Stingers. I bought a pack of 100 grain 2 blade Magnus Stingers and wondered how when I turned the package over they did not cut the plastic and fall out. The Stingers are SHARP!

Three for Muzzy

Heres what they can do . This was at about 15 yards in one side and busted the other shoulder and came out .

I also say MUZZYS, tree blades. I use them, my old man uses them and they work, no bull. Just make sure ya get them in straight (have some one spine your arrows) they can fly alittle on the crazy side. 100 grain.

A friend of mine has been succesfully using muzzys for years as well. For some reason, he says he's getting grim reapers this season.

I think my set up is borderline poundage for shooting some of the mechanicals. I was considering the replacable blade muzzy, slick trick, wasp... heads.

It sounds like muzzy has a long history of good heads and considerable loyalty.

Thanks guys. This seems like a good group on this board.

IF U WOULD LIKE A GOOD PRICED HEAD GO WITH MUZZY'S. IF U WANT SOMETHING STRONGER AND EASY TO HANDLE GO WITH MONTECS.;)

I suggest you go to my website and check out all the free pages. It will offer you a lot of help in picking the right head as well as tuning your setup.

Thats a nice site you have there. Never been there before today--I use the Muzzy 3 blade (which seems to be fairly common around here) and never had any type of problem with them. I've also used the Crimson Talons, while they made a nice blood trail, and a flew straight, the blades were too flimsy and would dull very easily.

Thanks again for posting that link--I found it to be very useful.

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

I discovered your site the a week ago. Good stuff.

Going by your site only, I would choose the NAP nitron. Accuracy is important because I can't guarantee my bow is perfectly tuned, and I'm not real confident I can do it correctly by myself (even with step by step instructions). I also want a super sharp broadhead so I don't have to sharpen.

Have any heads shot so well that you considered switching from old faithfull (muzzy)?

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

I used the nitrons during a pig hunt just last week. They did an excellent job. Hog only went about 50 yds. and piled up. Blades are very sharp and they fly great.

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

Yes. Montec G-5 Seam to shoot straighter for my setup. The only thing wrong with them, is it is very hard to get them scary sharp. I can get tighter groups with the Montecs than I do with Feild points. They are more expensive than replacable blades but you can resharpen them and not have to replace the blades. It just takes a lot more time. The reson I sugested MUZZYS Was because you said you didn't want a head you had to sharpen.

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

I like the Wasp boss head for replaceable blade heads.They fly great,and are sharp heads.You can get replacement blades for these as well at any good archery shop,and are not very expensive as well.
I might give the Montec G5 head a try this year as well,heard alot of good things about them.Simple is the word,easy to resharpen if need be and never have to replace the heads,only thing about these is a little more expensive.Come in a pack of three,yet the wasp boss heads come in a pack of 6 for about the same price.
If your looking for a good,accurate,forgiving head,then give the montecs a try.
If your looking for a good accurate,forgiving head with the option of replaceable blades then give the Wasp Boss head a try.
Either one,you wont be dissapointed:)

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

I actually shoot a lot of different heads during a season, and while Muzzys are still one of my favorites I find myself shooting snuffers more and more. The only problem with snuffers is it takes a lot of fletch and tuning to get the hiting where you want and you have to learn to sharpen them. The upside is they are just amazing when it comes to tissue damage and penetration on game.

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

I started using 100gr 4-blade muzzys when I started bowhunting, the only difference now is that they came out with a PINK one, and that's what I am shooting now. To give you an idea? I shoot about 46# at 25"-not the highest setup on the KE scoreboard. I shot my doe @27 yards, went behind one shoulder, broke the other shoulder and kept going. Double-lunged my buck at 30 yds. Passthroughs. Something I thought I could only dream about until I made it up to a 60 lb bow! I will stick to my muzzy. :)

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

i shoot 3 blade 125 grn. muzzy's in my bow and they shoot quite well. i haven't shot anything with them but they fly well.

that movie was pretty crazy. the head went through the shoulder. i mean jeese.

mathews babe that's nice to hear about the 46# bow. i'm currently shooting a 45# but i hope to get up to 50# by this season but at the latest next season.

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

I have shot Muzzy 4 blade heads for 15+ years .
I had 1 head that took 4 deer ( replaced the blades after each) over 2 seasons before I lost it in the river after passing thru deer 4 .
I shoot the 115 gr heads but the 100 gr heads are great also.

Muzzys!

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

Great sight 5 shot. Thanks.;)

RE: Broadhead? from new bowhunter
 

I made the trip to the pro shop near mammouth cave Thursday.

I bought 90 grain muzzy 4-blades and a muzzy dz rest. The owner was in agreement with you all about both products. I can't wait to stick my first archery whitetail.

Thanks.
