TreeStandBowHunter Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 This might have been in here already. I have been using Muzzy 3-Blade 100gr for a few years now. I ordered some 4-Blade from cabelas yesterday. I was wondernig if there are any Muzzy shooters out there who use the 4-blade and is the 4-blade better or the same as the 3-blade. I particularly would like to hear from the guys that shot the 3-blade before and then switched to the 4-blade. I really don't want to here from the non-muzzy shooters alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tyshe17 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade although I havent shoot the 4 blade I do shoot the 3. My boss has shot every muzzy out there, and he says on game performance isnt much if any difference, but the 4 blade fly better on an improperly tuned bow and dont plane as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coop2564 Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade I was shooting the 3 tried 4 and switched back to 3. Seemed I had more noise and planing with the 4. I'm using 75gr 3 the 4 was 90gr I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut-Nut Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade I have shot the 3 blade 125 gr for over 8 yrs now. Never tried the 4 blade- figure why try to fix what ain;t broke! THe 3 blade 125's fly true and like they say are BAD TO THE BONE!!!!!! But I'm interested to hear others' experience with the 4 blade.

Gus Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade I went from 3 bladed 125s to 4 bladed 100s last year and don't plan on changing anytime soon. The 100s fly just like my field tips and blew there everything I shot last year. Hoping to do the same again this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade Both fly great. The 4-blades seem to fly a touch better. I really like the damage the 4-blades do on game too. I looks like you took a boring bit to the animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeStandBowHunter Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade Thanks for the answers guys and gals. They should be here in a few days and then I get to try them out for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeWalker Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade Ahhhhhh, now here is a topic for me..... I shot the 3-bladed 100gr first...loved them in fact.....but being a sucker, I have to try the newest stuff out there, so when the 4-blade Muzzy's came out.....I just had to buy me some.....I have never looked back.... They group better, and they also fly more consistantly with your field tips.........3 bladed heads tend to plane a little more......the 4's don't....so you'll find your self maybe even extending your range.... And if that doesn't sell you on them, the hole they leave behind will.........the diameter of the head is smaller, but you now have 4 cutting surfaces......the hole left is nothing but awesome, and I have had pass-thru's on every big-game animal I have shot with them (58-60 lb draw) You need any tips or tricks on tuning them, give me a shout.....

The first deer I shot with a bow was a doe at 14 yards. I was shooting a 58 pound draw weight bow and a real light carbon arrow shooting only about 240 FPS. With only about 47ish foot-pounds of KE, that 4-blade Muzzy destroyed her shoulders. I yanked the shot forward a bit, but for that light of a setup, it penetrated all but about 8". All I know is both the shoulders didn't have much good meat left. "Bad to the bone" is an understatement. I'd sure like to see what kind of damage it does this year with my Switchback kicking about 65-68 foot-pounds of KE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade looked at the 4 blade Muzzy's the other day and really liked what I saw. I currently shoot Thunderheads and am thinking about changing to Muzzys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade I also really like how the blades lock together. Dead silent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut-Nut Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade Figures!!! I just bought a new 6 pack of the 3 blade 125's, cause I was down to 3 good ones. Now I find out the 4 blade are better and I have 9 good 3 blades!!!! Well, I hate to waste $$,so it might be awahile before I use them up. But next pack of broadheads I buy will be Muzzy 4 blades! Thanks for the report folks!!! P.S. I think I just always thought the bigger cutting diameter of the 3 blade 125's would do more damage.

TreeWalker Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade RN, it is not a waste of money.....the 3-blades are hard to beat.....it's just you may have liked the 4-bladed ones a little better.......if it's with a Muzzy, it's going down....

TreeStandBowHunter Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade Well, I got them yesterday. I didn't have a chance to shoot them but I will tonight. Thanks for the feedback folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Didn't mean buying the 3 blades were a waste of money.................it would only be a waste to NOT USE them!!!!! I have been shooting MUZZY for over 8 yrs and am a DEDICATED Muzzy shooter. Can;t buy a better broadhead if you ask me. But now that I know the 4 blades work a little better, I'll have to wait til I use up the 3-blades!!!!! MUZZY's are just too good to let sit on your workbench!!!!!

Rut-Nut Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Re: 3 Blade Muzzys VS 4-Blade On a side note: When they say BAD TO THE BONE, they aren;t kidding!!!! I know a guy who hit a doe in the back of the head(deer was quartering away, looking over it's right shoulder). THe muzzy completely penetrated the back of the skull behind the right ear, thru the head and was sticking out of the left eye socket!!!!!! You could see the trocar pt. and about 1/4 in of the blades sticking out of the eyeball!!!!!! Talk about penetration- wouldn't have believed it if I hadn;t seen it myself!!!!
