Intresting..

I have found it intresting reviewing the posts in this forum, I always hear alot of different views, and with the exception of what bow you shoot, the broadhead is one of the most highly contested subjects.

After 20 years of working on bows, I have heard alot, and shot a ton, I would say over 100 easy deer, with all kinds of different broadheads. It basically always has, and always will, come back to a Muzzy. 90% of the hunters (and when I say hunters I'm only talking the guys spending 50+ days a year in the woods) are usually trying the new greatest broadheads, but almost always end up using Muzzys.

The number one thing is this, not matter how tuned your bow is or who did it, if it's crackerized, you need to shoot your broadheads and adjust accordingly. If your shooting field tips, and you assume a rage or other advertised product is going to "hit's the same as field tips", your wrong, most of the time. Any broadhead changes arrow flight, even the tightest expandables. So what I always recommend is you buy a broadhead target (or pick up pieces of your block after every practice session), and get a pack of the broadheads your going to use, and tune your bow to the broadhead. Once you do, your good, and your confidance will be alot higher than believing the commercial.

Having experimented with everything, hypershocks to slick tricks, to rages, to naps, to magnus's, I can tell you that if you want a reliable, affordable, and guaranteed to kill broadhead (as long as you make the shot), then use Muzzys. I always recommend them to everyone who asks, and I in no way make anything or get anything from muzzy except what I buy.

I am asked to recommend broadheads, and bows and all other accessories constantly at the shop, and I can tell you everyone wants everything they've seen on tv, but inveriably comes back and get's muzzy's, I stopped saying I told you so a long time ago when I lost my voice from it.

100gr 4-Blades seem to fly the best out of a fast bow 290+

100gr 3-Blades have wider cut radius, and stabilize the arrow a little better at slower speeds, those are our 2 best selling broadheads. The MX3 and MX4 are ok, and unless your going after elk or moose, sticking with 100gr is the norm.

And remember the most important part of the bowshot, the exit. I don't care if the arrow goes in the ham if there's a hard quarter and your shooting a ton of kinetic energy, as long as you get up in the goodie, your good. Always, always, thing the exit. Too many people focus on the entrance and dont take into consideration the quartering etc, and I have spent many days and nights trying to help people find deer hit bad, and thats been the number one problem. Dont worry about the crease if the deer isnt broadside, you want to see your broadhead going through vitals, from where ever it enters.

Rambling.. Bottom line..

hey dudes, I'm with you, I shoot Muzzys.

Just a few things to add. I would not buy the least expensive broadhead you find at the local discount store. They are probably of questionable quality in both materials and craftsmanship. The blades must be sharp and hold that sharpness and align to the arrow shaft correctly. Muzzy makes a good product and is my choice, although any quality broadhead will do the job if razor sharp and placed in the kill zone. If you watch enough hunting shows where they are shooting mechanical heads you will see a rather large amount of hits with poor penetration, and for this reason I would stay away from mechanical heads, unless all of your shots will be broadside, under 20 yards, and you stay away from the shoulder.

Where legal, I prefer Rage 2 blades. They work like a charm! However, in SD I use Muzzy MX-3 100gr. because it's illegal to use a Rage 2 in SD.

I use 85 grain NAP Thunderheads. They fly well out of my set up and they are extremely tough.
