I used to use Muzzy 4 bladers but had a bad experience with them. I hit a buck perfectly 2" behind the leg crease waited 45 mins and started tracking it only to jump it after about 150 yards. I stopped and came back the next morning and found him. The arrow hit right where I aimed but hit a rib and made an almost 90 degree turn coming out in front of the opposite hip. I expected a double lung shot but ended up hitting only one lung and liver. It may have been just a fluke but I switched to 3 bladers as I believed that design would eliminate that from happening again.

I have had good luck with Thunderheads, never had a deer go more than 50yds

Wow that is a strong statement! I've heard it said several times that Thunderhead BHs weren't too bad. I shot many many deer with all kinds of BHs. And I've had several drop or lie down and expire within sight. The shortest distance one went was about 60 yards and that was with a perfect double lung, top of the heart shot at a relaxed buck with a razor sharp Magnus Stinger. Heck, last year using a Rage I center punched the heart of a doe at 10 yards almost shearing it in half and she went about 75 yards. So either your range estimation is way off, you haven't shot too many deer with the bow or you've been extremely lucky.

Well you are right . I have only got 2 deer, 1st was a misplaced shot due to excitement and rookie nerves, I believe it was a kidney shot it only went about 50/60 yards( I was worried about that one).2nd was a perfect dbl lung and he went about the same. Granted, I have not killed a hundred deer,but only telling my experience.

Worked for me

Well it takes a good man to ''fess up". Even though 2 deer does not provide sufficient data to qualify any broadhead. In my experience over 45+ years bowhunting I've noted that if you shoot a deer that is calm with a razor sharp head and do not hit bone and did not detect you after the shot they will only run a short distance and stop and either lie down and expire to begin to wobble and then fall. I've had a few deer get shot through both lungs with either a Magnus Stinger or Muzzy Phantom and only take three or four bounds then just stop and look around, walk about another 30 -40 yards and just teeter and fall over. I swear, I think that the BH goes through them so fast they think they got stung by a bee or something.
