njbowhntr Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 I used the Magnus 2 bladed w/ the bleeder blade once. They killed both deer I shot at and hit. But, they left no blood trail. Thank god the deer did not go farther than 50 - 60 yards, but just no blood. And no blood makes for a long day of tracking sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead I'm a huge Muzzy fan and will always be, until something comes along better. But, I cannot stand the 4-blade 90's, I've tried and tried to get these to fly and could never get it done. Give me my 3-blade Muzzy's anyday!

Guest SLBDEERHUNTER Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead Could not get Thunderhead to fly out of my set up, but that does not mean they are bad heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead Blood trails were awesome, but most of the time you can watch them fall down. so, yo didnt' really need a blodd trail! LMBO I wasn't saying they are bad broadheads, I just couldn't get them to fly for me, so I don't like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead I had a hard time getting a Muzzy 3 blade to fly good for me. I was shooting very fast bow with really really light arrows and they plained like crazy. (I was going for one pin good out to 35 yards. Which I achieved with that set up.) I switched to mechancals and never went back. I now shoot heavier arrows and a bit slower and have huge KE but got use to the mech heads. I have never ever had any troubles with them on either bow set up and just stick with what works for me. I was disappointed about the Muzzy heads too, heck I named one of my cats Muzzy because of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTbowman Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead Plaining can happen, mainly with fixed blade broad heads. The wind catches the blades almost like airplane wings. The arrow being to light and traveling to fast can cause the broad head to fly around erratically and not straight. One shot would be like 4" low and 5" left and the next would be 3" high and 4" right. All at 20 yards. Not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buck Magnet 007 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead b-heads don't plain, atleast not to the extent that most people say. The reason most people say this is because there bow and/or set-up isn't tuned properly. Sometimes it is because they need to adjust there arrow rest/nocking point, other times they need to tune the b-head to the arrow, which is something that most people don't do. Tuning your arrows is important to get good arrow flight. All you really need is a good arrow spinner to check and make sure that everything spins true. Sometimes, inserts aren't set in properly and the b-heads create a wobble because they aren't seated properly. This causes the "plaining" effect but it usually isn't blamed for this because most people don't check for it. If you can't get a fixed blade b-head to fly straight, then you need to tune your entire set-up. I have shot 125 grain 4-blade Muzzys from my BowTech at over 280 f.p.s. and they were grouping perfectly with my field points. The reason was that my bow was tuned properly. Do your paper tuning, then group tune. After that, get correctly spined arrows and broadhead combo's that will give you a F.O.C. in the 10-14% range. After that, tune your arrows, like I mentioned above, and you should have b-heads grouping perfectly with field points at all distances.

Straight Shooter Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead BM007, I've got to disagree with you on this, to some extent. Yes, you can get your some broadheads to group with your field tips, but not all of them. But, you do get planeing with broadheads. If it was an arrow set up wrong or my bow, I'd see it in the arrow flight, by squirrel tailing, fish tailing, or porpoising. Out of all the years I've been shooting, I have only seen two bows that have hit close(1" difference) to where the fields tips did. The planeing comes from the braodhead not align or off-set from the fletchings correctly. They'll fight against one another and cause the arrow to go off flight. Yes, I agree that spine, weight, speed, and set-up have alot to do with this as well. But, don't blame anyone for not having there bow, rest, and arrows not set up properly, because I think I know how to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Re: Worst Broadhead All righty now, back the subject. The worst performing broadhead that I have ever witnessed was the Rocket Ultimate Steel 75 grain. Piece of crud, bad cutting angle, blade curling, deer wounding junk. They did how ever shoot great groups on the range. Elwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
