the local walmart has the Muzzy 4 - blade for $18.00 and the CE for $12.50. They look identical but do not know much about the CE but do know Muzzy has outstanding reputation. I know neither is the $40.00 a pack kind but was just wondering of the two, which would be the better pick? Thanks.

I just bought the Carbon express quad pro's the cut on contact 4 blades. They fly great just like my field points. I can resharpen them, and they resharpended razor sharp. They look great, fly great. Im taking them on a pig hunt this weekend I will post how they do on a hog. And yes they are 12.95 for 3. Carbon express makes a great product Im sure they will do fine

Some of the cheaper brands may have small difference such as thickness of blades and shoot just like name brand equipment.Only place you may notice performance minuses would be if you hit bone or something.If you shoot accurately and feel good about them may be worth a try!

As I took a closer look at the CE ones I noticed they didn't have the tip that Muzzy's have for hitting bone. But I figure $12.97 really can't go wrong with giving them a shot! Thanks for the advice!!

charlesdaly, don't worry about the CX broadhead being a cut on contact and not a chisel tip like the muzzy. This broadhead is tough. It is the same head as previous years eastman quad pro. I know the guy who designed this head and am shooting his original version, the flatliner quad pro (eastman, who owns CX bought the rights to this head a few years back from him). I shoot the original because I can get it in an 85 grain variety and we have plenty of replacement blades at his archery shop. The .045" blade thickness will stand up to bone hits and is thick enough that it can be resharpened easily with a handheld scissor/knife sharpener. The blade retention is excellent as well and it flies as good as the slick tricks that I used to use. Plus at only $12.99 a pack they are cheaper than most broadheads, and for not much more than replacement blades you can buy new heads and have some designated practice heads.

I shot a doe on Saturday quartering a way and broke the off side shoulder with about 10" of arrow sticking out through the shoulder. The deer dropped instantly and at the time I thought that I had spined her. As she was thrashing around and trying to get up I took the only shot offered. THe shot went through the right flank (completely shattering the bone in the hind quarter) and rode the inside of the ribcage on the left side (cutting/breaking ribs) and exited the chest.

Both broadheads are back in my quiver after being touched up with a lansky sharpening system. I'm not one for posting pictures of entry/exit wounds and broadhead damage for everyone to see, but I do have the pics. PM if you are interested.

I believe you description is proof enough! Thank you all so much for your input and looks like I will be making a trip to Walmart this afternoon and picking up some CE Quad pros!! Thanks again for all the responses.
