Turkeygirl Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Muzzys are good broadheads, although I shoot NAP Thunderhead fixed blades...switched to 100 grain after using 125 grain (too heavy for my arrow I think). I haven't had any problems at all with them...they will get dull if they go into the dirt or through bone, probably most broadheads do, but they do the job!

I would recommend one of the following BUNKER BUSTER TURBO RAZORSHARK The above listed heads are top shelf as to ability and are great fliers.

Gator Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 There are a bunch of great BH's out there. I am a Magnus Stinger fan, these are some of the sharpest BH's I have ever seen. Muzzy's are good, as well as Montecs. It's all in the eye of the beholder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shtr Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 It's all in the eye of the beholder Although There are some good heads out there , there are not many great heads out there. Last year I tested 42 heads and only 7 passed. The tests were not hard core at all and left alot of room to pass each phase To pass these tests , heads had to fly with a 3" margin of error (most failed) The ferrules had to under go stress without fatigue (most passed) The blades had to go through bone without major damage (the majority failed) and lastly heads had to be sharp (most passed) The major problem with most heads are weak blades and aerodynamics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 fixed- Muzzys or Montecs (can never go wrong with muzzys,i plan on trying the new mx-3s...and i personally have never shot the montecs, but from everything i have heard about them, they are great) mechanical-Rage, or Grim Reapers (have shot both of these heads and they both fly and open great) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've been using Muzzy since I started bowhunting. I've had really good luck with the original 4-blades and used the MX-4's last year. If you decided to try mechanicals, make sure they are legal in your area. Some places have a ban on "barbed" broadheads. I know the G5 Tekkan is one of them. The Rage might be too. Make sure to check your state's regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I would recommend one of the following BUNKER BUSTER TURBO RAZORSHARK The above listed heads are top shelf as to ability and are great fliers. I believe this is good advice. I do like the Montecs and Rocket Sidewinder heads. Both fly well for me and deliver a deadly payload. In the toughness category the Montecs can take quite a bit of abuse and still be usable. Like the Sidewinders, Bunker Busters are made by Rocket Aeroheads. Rocket makes good heads. I'm convinced of that. The Sidewinders are accurate heads. I just wish they were a little bit tougher. IME, Sidewinders are one animal per broadhead deals. They get the job done, very well, but don't expect to be reusing them. Turbo's come from Rocky Mountain, they are very similar to Slicktrick Heads and look a lot like Muzzies. Like Slicktrick they've eliminated the achilles heel of the Muzzy design which IMO is the screw on trocar tip. Frankly, if that tip does not thread on straight Muzzies have an accuracy issue. All the complaints I've heard about Slicktricks have to do with the durability of the blades. I believe the Rocky Mountain version is a little tougher. Finally, the Razorsharks are from well respected Simmons. They are thick bladed cut on contact heads with a curved entry angle, they are bound to penetrate extremely well and be very tough. However, of the three, the Bunker Buster head has flat got my attention. Based on it's design it should be a VERY accurate head. In fact, though I haven't seen the test data, I suspect this head was TOPS in the accuracy department. I'd like to see more comments on this head. It has some serious potential.

Straight Shooter Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 I've hunted with Muzzy's for year now and they have never failed me, so I'm kind of partial towards them. All experiments aside, any of the top selling heads as well as some of the lower line heads, will do the trick on just about anything you want to shoot. I'd recommend trying a couple or so out to see what best suites your set-up. JMHO I'd go with a Muzzy, they've never failed me and it's all about hitting them in the right place.

Guest Finn Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Shoot the muzzy 3 blade 100 grain heads here and am very happy with them. Same here, and I like the price better than other heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Fixed: G5 Strikers (scary sharp out of the package) Mechanical: Grim Reapers (awesome head, one of the best out there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest buckseeker Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I've been shooting sonic 100 grain broad heads now for two years now and they fly great, just like a field tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bowhuntr_15 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I've been shooting muzzy 100 grain for about 4 years now, and have never had any problems with them!!! Great broadhead to me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffett1 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I have been shooting both Muzzy 3 blade and Montecs in 100 grain. It really is a toss-up with my bow and set-up. Just make sure you try a few so you know which ones fit you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODH Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 i've been using Muzzy's 3 blade 125gr. broadheads, and they've worked for me for 3 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Blade Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I have shot Muzzy's heads for years and so far have never had any problems........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Another Muzzy vote. Ive shot a lot of different heads (mechanical and fixed). Muzzy has been good to me. The blades lock for a tight solid head. Good choice and well worth the $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshofner Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Been using Muzzy 3 blades for years great broadhead. Any broadhead will work if it flies straight, it's sharp and you hit your target in the right spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I bought some of the Rage 3 blades this year to try. I used Thunderheads for years with no problems. I just wanted to try mechanicals. I used Montec G 2's the last couple years and they were very accurate without adjusting your bow. I just like a bigger hole and a better trail.

Mirage Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 i use spitfire 125s they fly great and put that buck down fast. i used to use thunderheads they work well too but i was having trouble with plaining at longer yardage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadow61 Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I've used NAP Thunderheads, 100 gr forever it seems. Taken a bear and some deer with them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
