crazylegz70 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I have been seeing alot of posting about the Rage broadheads and I have alot of buddies that hunt with muzzy ones. I just wanted to share my opinion with people that cant really afford to buy top of the line stuff. I live in Illinois and I have a very limited income because of my disablility and the fact that I drive an hour to college every day. Last year I took the biggest buck that I have or probably ever will take. I shot him with a $3 eastman broadhead from WM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Personally, it is all about what you feel comfortable with, and what works for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born4it Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's all relative, CrazyLegz. If you shoot them well, they're sharp enough, and you have confidence in them, whatever broadhead you choose will be awesome! The golf coach at Western Illinois University told me one time, when we were talking about expensive golf equipment, that..."It's not the arrows in the quiver, it's the indian shooting the bow!" Just so happens that he made a bowhunting reference that I try to always remember! If you practice and you're confident in your equipment, it doesn't matter how much it costs! Good luck, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 You put the arrow in the RIGHT spot I don't care what kind of broad head you shoot the deer will die!!! Hitting that right spot is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThethirdI Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 A good deal of practice beats a $30.00 broadhead any day. I shot my first deer with a free bow, 20 year old hand me down arrows that my dad had shot years before and a Wasp broadhead that I bought on sale in a pack of three for $10.00 at Gander Mountain. The deer ran 40 yards and piled up. I'm one hundred percent sure that it's all about the practice. I still won't pay over $25.00 for broadheads. I shoot Satellite Titans in 100 grain and I haven't shot a deer yet that it didn't pass through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegz70 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 i was really doubtful of the $8.77 pack of three eastmans until I shot my buck. I hit right behind his right shoulder, it passed through and was stuck on the outside of his left upper leg. so not only did it pass through part of one shoulder....but hammered the other. Couldnt believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegz70 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 also, apparently my whole post didnt get on here. originally I was just tryin to make the point that LifeNRA did. "Personally, it is all about what you feel comfortable with, and what works for you! ;)" That is exactly what I put in my original thread that didnt show up. Nothin against rage broadheads or muzzy because my friends bought me new muzzy broadheads to take to Wyoming for the goat hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt believe it. All above is true but a super sharp blade is very important too. I bought a pack of those $8 Eastmans last year to shoot at turkeys. They were not that sharp at all. I could run my finger up and down the blade. Unless the shot was about 10 yards, I would be nervious about shooting them at a deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 My dad's buddy shoots whatever broadhead that is cheapest the day he's shopping....last year, he killed 7 animals with those broadheads Sharp broadheads in the right spot will work every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
